I just learned that oat milk was discovered in the 1960s, when NASA found out by accident what zero-g environments do to goat milk.

Thank you, thank you, I'll see myself out.

LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools saves the public administration *3.5 million euros a year* for 110,000 computers. [1]

* School HW has lifespan up to 18 years while running up-to-date software [2]
* Cheap easy-to-manage "light clients" ideal for very old upcycled HW [3]
* LliureX-Shutdowner saves energy by turning off unused computers school-wide [4]

who needs plants anyway

Nvidia are going to spend $500 billion on increasing their carbon footprint.

For context, the UN have estimated that it would cost $93 billion per year to end world hunger.

Anyway, hope you're all enjoying the heat wave.

NEWS! Zuckerberg Yacht didn't respond to distress call as Meta algorithm determined there was no 'violation of community standards' https://newsthump.com/2026/08/11/zuckerberg-yacht-didnt-respond-to-distress-call-as-meta-algorithm-determined-there-was-no-violation-of-community-standards/

Jeg skal lave nogle Linux-for-begyndere-events. Jeg kiggede efter, om der er en liste over sådan-kommer-du-i-BIOS-vejledninger - sådan, hvis du har en HP Probook sådan her, hvis du har en Thinkpad sådan her - men jeg syntes ikke at kunne finde noget.
Det er lidt væsentligt for begyndere.
Kender I til noget, eller skulle vi crowdsource noget?

Thank you for all the replies, it looks like it is still a non starter without running two phones.

I know I do ask every now and again, but I live in hope that things have improved. So far not it hasn't much.

Any Fairphone (or other non Android/iOS phone) users out there who also use Starling Bank and Halifax/Lloyds Bank?
Which phone and OS are you using, please?

I want to switch my phone away from Android but still need to access banking for me and Mum.

Thank you.

Edit because some text got missed off.

Norske artister som dropper Spotify søkes:

Jeg skal moderere et panel under festivalen Big Tech må vekk som holdes 5. september.

I den forbindelse ønsker jeg tips til norske artister og band som bevisst ikke slipper på, eller har trukket musikken sin fra Spotify.

De mest kjente jeg har hørt om hittil er Valkyrien Allstars og Mira Craig.

Alle tips tas imot med stor takk 🙂

If all of those that loudly complain about the use of coding agents in Open Source would offer 1 hour of help per week instead of spending that on loudly screaming online, we would have enough eyes and hands to not only get rid of "AI" in Open source but also have enough volunteers to take some of the load of project maintainers and developers. #UnpopularOpinion

Just a little reminder on littleFedi's efficiency

The instance https://rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - with my user @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - has been running for over a month on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD.
Under normal operation, it uses 58 MB of RAM, including caches. And it shows no signs of slowness!

Der er mange shitty earbuds, og der er også en del gode. Meget billige til meget dyre.
Men: Jeg har virkelig været imponeret over value-for-money på mine Sony WF-C510. Rar lyd, fysiske klik-ikke-touch-knapper, boksen ikke for klodset, ret god batteritid.
Jeg mistede mit sæt for nogle måneder siden - og nåede frem til, at jeg gerne ville generhverve præcist det samme produkt nu.
Med en pris på 3-400 kroner - jeg gav 330 denne gang - er det en solid deal.
