Don’t forget that her anniversary is coming up soon:
I prefer the simple dy/my/dy/my format (with the year reversed for added ease of use). For example, today would be 14/02/70/72.
NIST and ISO have stopped responding to my emails, but I’m optimistic that the Türk Standardları Enstitüsü will eventually adopt it as their preferred standard.

Yeah, this is pretty painful to watch. Trump is a piece of shit, but he’s way more forceful and even somewhat coherent. Meanwhile, Biden’s just above a whisper and is somewhere between stuttering and rambling.
I use Voice by Paul Woitaschek (available on F-Droid). It has a nice, simple interface and a few really useful features. I’ve gone through dozens of audiobooks in various formats with it and haven’t had any problems yet.
I can’t believe you’ve done this.
This, to me, is one of the biggest fallacies of tech companies claiming they care about sustainability goals. No matter the application, most of our hardware is made with materials that come from central Africa. Those mines and facilities are largely controlled by China. Whatever you think of China politically, you have to recognize that many of the sustainability disclosures that, say, Apple is making are premised on these mines self-reporting compliance with certain standards. In practice, miners are using outdated, poorly maintained equipment. Commonly, they’re using shovels and even their hands.
You can write all the cutesy reports you want with stock photos of green leaves, hands holding soil, and smiling “farmers.” Unless and until you’re directly funding better means of extracting raw materials like cobalt from the ground, companies’ claims about their commitment to ESG should be completely dismissed as nonsense.

My favorite part of this entire article is the author referring to Trump as a “former game show host.”
You have to successfully run at least three consecutive macros in order to unlock the Hatsune Miku skins.
My brain scrambled “war cash” into “car wash” and I was ready to grab my pitchfork over legislators getting free car washes.
I’m gonna laugh my kidneys off if E. Jean Carroll winds up being his undoing.
Good. Regulators should be able to order large-scale actions like this, especially when personal safety is at risk. I’d rather not be driving around with a possible claymore mine a foot from my face.
