Seriously though the number of times in the last year that I've purchased beef and chicken that looked perfectly fine, was a long way (week+) from the Best By date, and was completely rancid when I opened it up at home is mind boggling.

This won't happen when you get it from the meat counter. They're paying attention, and they'd be able to smell it.

Additionally lack of oxygen allows the bad bacteria to thrive, so being wrapped in plastic is NOT good

The Nintendo Switch 2 uses a proprietary, encrypted protocol for negotiating USB charging. Because fuck you, that’s why:

How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking

Nintendo’s Switch 2 isn’t compatible with third-party docking stations because the company is using proprietary handshakes and — allegedly — encryption.

As we knew it was going to happen, like clockwork, they're now saying they're going to prioritize denaturalizing citizens. We knew that was what they were working towards and that they are not going to stop there. Being quiet and seeing how far they will go is not an option.

DOJ memo pushes for broader effort to revoke naturalized US citizenship

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has laid out new guidelines encouraging its attorneys to seek to strip U.S. citizenship from those who have naturalized if they have committed various crimes.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 8 updated and 1 added apps:

* ZXTune - Chiptunes player: lets you play music from ZX Spectrum, Amiga, Atari, Commodore and more 🛡️

An update to Lanis had to be rolled back, as some proprietary components sneaked in. They were already identified and the issue fixed upstream, so it's not "stalled forever".

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

So you think that Big Tech monitoring your every move isn’t a problem?

But what if you show up at the hotel at 9pm and the hotelier can ask a credit bureau how much you can afford to pay for the room? What if they can find out that you’re in chemotherapy, so you don’t have the stamina to shop around for a cheaper room? What if they can tell that you have a 5AM flight and need to get to bed right now? What if they charge you more because they can see that your kids are exhausted and cranky and the hotel infers that you’ll pay more to get the kids tucked into bed? What if they charge you more because there’s a wildfire and there are plenty of other people who want the room?

We have been doing this for hundreds of years without big tech monitoring. We just invert the scheme and call it "discounts", and that somehow makes it more socially acceptable.

Student and retiree discounts aren't what they seem. They're just a really poor way to stereotype people and charge you more if the establishment believes you can bear it. You're a single mom with 3 kids who just had her house burned down? Well, you're neither a student nor a retiree, and they're allowed to know your situation, so no discount for you I guess.

Just to give you an idea of how much software GCC 14's default of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration breaks, here are two pkgsrc bulk build results:

GCC 13.3.0: 24835/28450
GCC 14.3.0: 2589/28450

reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upst…

reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upst…

I also had to fix up a bunch of things before the build would even start.

This could take a while. And then the fun starts all over again with GCC 15's changes...

One of the more insidious fallouts from GCC 14 changes are in configure scripts.

For example, today I've been debugging why tcl's floating point support was broken.

Turns out its configure script test for whether the system is big endian was now failing due to exit() not being declared, and the compile test failure was being interpreted as amd64 suddenly becoming big endian.

I get it, you don't like Rust becoming popular, but breaking existing software in weird and wonderful ways is NOT OK.

Je to super, jsem rád. Ale že data sbírat nebudou, tak tomu se mi věřit nechce.

DNS4EU již běží. Evropská unie se chce zbavit závislosti na Googlu a pomohli jí v tom Češi

Evropská komise uvolnila 14 milionů eur na projekt DNS4EU. • Alternativa pro DNS resolvery Googlu nebo Cloudflaru nemá uživatele šmírovat. • Ve vývoji DNS4EU měly hlavní úlohu české firmy a organizace.

není nic “jednoduššího” než si postavit vlastní s full resolver primo od nameserveru. Jedu tak uz delší dobu a docela to funguje. Pihole plus unbound. Ale zase je pravda ze ja bral pihole primárně jako vlastni dns, pac si tady interně nechávám běžet služby který chci mít pod hostname a ne pod ip. Vlastně takové hezké gui pro dnsmasq 😁

🔁 Bachelor's thesis survey! Please boost! 🔁

As many of you already know, I'm a cognitive science student currently working on my bachelor's thesis about the relationship between internet users' identities and their online personas.

Specifically, I want to see how that relationship might be different for cis and trans individuals, as well as for entities with non-human identities.

I prepared a short survey to collect the data I'll need for the thesis and I would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to answer it and share it around, both on fedi and elsewhere! It is meant for individuals of all gender identities and ages and shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time :)

Survey about the importance of online personas for internet users

The purpose of this survey is to study the relationship between internet users and their online personas and to compare how this relationship may differ between cisgender and non-cisgender individuals.

Я продолжаю - и пока не собираюсь бросать - заниматься переводами Mastodon на русский язык.

Чтобы переводы были лучше, можно подарить мне справочную литературу, например:

* "Справочник по правописанию и литературной правке" Розенталя;
* "Трудные случаи русской пунктуации" - Пахомов, Свинцов, Филатов;
* ещё что-нибудь, что посчитаете полезным.

Если я утвердила неудачный перевод, не стесняйтесь тегать меня в Crowdin:
ru.crowdin.com/project/mastodo…

Скриншот страницы переводов проекта Mastodon в сервисе Crowdin. Статистика по русскому языку на 2 июля 2025 года: 3388 переводимых строк всего. Переведено 3340 (98%). Одобрено 1603 (43%).
График "Активность корректуры" для моего вклада в переводы Mastodon на сервисе Crowdin. Стартовая точка графика - 1 января 2025 года. Конечная - 2 июля 2025 года. В марте я получаю разрешение утверждать переводы, и с марта по май объём одобренных строк составляет по 1000-2000 слов в месяц. В июне я одобрила строк на 5000 слов, и это видно как всплеск на графике.

Ничего не обещаю, но если будет время, попробую. Опыт локализации есть и очень большой, но, повторюсь, вот эти платформы… И кстати, пока вам не подарили Розенталя, можете смело спрашивать у меня, не потому что я супермен, а потому что одна голова хорошо, а две лучше. Можете прям сюда в приват, ну или могу Telegram/WhatsApp свой скинуть, если так удобнее.

@menelion только сейчас подумала, что надо бы написать пост про то, чем я пользуюсь для переводов. Онлайн-инструментов мне в принципе хватает, но с печатными справочниками было бы гораздо лучше.

@menelion ещё вопросы

1) Я вижу, что где-то в переводах союз "или" по кальке английского используется как соединительный, например:

"Никакие данные с этого сервера не будут обрабатываться, храниться или обмениваться..."

"...взаимодействия, такие как продвижение или добавление в избранное"

Как я понимаю, надо заменять "или" на правильные союзы ("и", "ни.. ни" и другие).

@André Polykanine

@menelion

2) Можно ли смешивать как однородные члены инфинитив совершенного и несовершенного вида? Я не нашла правила, которое это запрещает, но точно не знаю. Пример:

"Он сможет упоминать вас и подписаться на вас, но вы этого не увидите."
