So how are them tires working for ya? 😏

Good read. Incredible woman, postpartum or not. And the fact that breastfeeding requires 300 to 500 calories a day, she was burning much needed calories during her race to keep producing. 🥇

Thanks for doing the extra labor here.

Had to look up several articles to better understand the shortage and it is still not entirely clear to me. Seems to be numerous factors all affecting Japan at the same time. I don’t envy them. increased prices in staple foods is really hard.

But being accurate with the headline makes it less click baity. 😏 Honestly, this article is scant on details.

Data centers don’t usually have an “X-ray polarization detector for picking up brief cosmic phenomena.” Like you said, it seems more like a scientific tool than an actual “data center.”

They’ve certainly had to come up with some way to effectively radiate the heat into space. The article doesn’t mention it though. i presume it’s one of the main reasons for networking so many machines together?

12 of 2800 planned have been launched.

As you can see, Trump is saving the United States.

Edit: adding the /s tag because of the downvotes. smh.

I suppose the quotation marks are pretty loaded these days…

But honestly, when you’ve lived on the other side of things… as bad as it gets in the “West”… many people will still sacrifice everything to make their way there, where a better life might be found… even if many of those countries are actively trying to keep immigrants out… 🫤

And nothing will be done.

I’m so tired, just trying to keep up.

I don’t know how any Gazans can bear to live under this.

They need help. They need hope.

How long must this continue? How long will the “free world” continue to allow this?

😫

I hear that welcoming migrants is a great way to address this problem…

Is Blue sky activity pub connected so that we can follow people from Mastodon? I don’t really follow people (and as a result don’t use Mastodon much), but I’d love to follow him!

I think people like this need to be immediately referred to behavior health specialists. They are clearly in need of some serious healing. Regardless of how you feel, you don’t need to be a horrible human AND ruin things for others.

Why can’t they just be horrible humans… quietly?

I seem to have a visceral reaction to advertisements. It’s very physical.

The short answer is that the Google Play version won’t actually block anything because it breaks their terms of service. So that version just tells you how many trackers and what the trackers are. I still use some of those apps and even respect them (e.g. AP News, AccuWeather), but it completely boggles my mind how they’ve loaded so many trackers into their applications… 🫤

Longer answer: To actually block trackers and ads, you need to use a third party source to download the app so that it’s fully functional. By providing the app that way, they don’t have to abide by Google Plays rules.

The link above is for the F-Droid “app store” version, which is one of the more well-known “stores.” I highly recommend F-Droid. They host free and open source (FOSS) applications. For most everything you use, there is a FOSS alternative which will be ad and tracker free.

Want a simple ad-free calculator, go there. Want to watch YouTube ad free, go there. Want to download an ad free Lemmy client, go there. Etc etc.

Hurrah for high quality FOSS software!

Yep. It’s becoming more and more common for folks to know that they can do it, but it certainly isn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t that long ago when I caught my partner listening to music on YouTube with all the ads and I blew their mind away by installing NewPipe. They just had no idea.

Yep, that can work per device or per network. I’m a big fan of Tracker Control because it’s going to work on any network. It’s also highly customizable.

Fortunately, you can block all those ads on Android. Check out Tracker Control: https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid

Because I’m not privileged enough to afford it without.
