Somewhere I read that bread has most of the essential nutrients for humans, except for vitamin C. That would mean that prisoners who were sentenced to bread and water could last many years if they had fruit occasionally.

I guess the kind of bread, and the reduced caloric needs of prisoners, play a huge role here.

Some continuous glucose monitors are MRI-safe, and they keep working after it. Just adding another data point.

It’s not mythology, testing was crucial so you wouldn’t ship a broken cartridge, which was very costly than a patch download. It made financial sense to test throughly, and more than that, develop carefully.

I think the only guys that made a working game in a week were Atari VCS developers, and IMO it wa a combination of the limited hardware, and the skill of a few legendary programmers.

Today we get games that dwarf the entire software stack of computers decades ago, but they’re made loosely, knowing they’ll ship broken and need patch after patch until it doesn’t make financial sense, and then they’re abandoned.

My most recent experience is Fallout 76 on Steam, and by god it is a bag of bugs despite being the bread winner of the franchise. For example, a long-standing bug is that once it starts, and offers to press any button to sign in, you have to wait about a minute before doing that, otherwise it will likely hang. This has existed since launch, and after numerous patches it hasn’t been addressed yet.

It doesn’t mean “never improve”, though.

Seems they’re working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.

– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!

My own penmanship would give their penmanship tetanus if they fought.

Tepache. It’s a Mexican fermented drink made with pineapple peels, piloncillo, and a few spices. It’s delicious, refreshing, and super cheap… well, until some entrepreneur eventually discovers it and makes it ultra processed and expensive.

Woah there boi, we prefer the name “Reddit Expats”, we no simple refugees or immigrants

“We are under attack, faithful Monerites! Shove more coal into the energy plants! Carbon will set us free!”

“We didn’t want to inflate our valuation with circular investings, the market made us do it! We are the victims here!!”

That’s donations, and I’ve donated to less projects that I’d like, because it would become costly very fast. Mainly things like Wikipedia or Jellyfin.

Ive contributed to several projects, code and translation, but you can really expect every user to be a programmer, or every programmer to contribute to every piece of software they use.

Besides, contribution is not a protection from capture, just look at MySQL.

Self hosting doesn’t make you immune, though. See how Plex evolved, for example. Self hosting plus free software that isn’t abandoned or compromised is the way, but idealistic developers need to take bread to the table too.

So the way maybe is self-hosted + libre software + a non-profit supporting the project. And that can too be corrupted, for example, the Mozilla Foundation and Google’s influence.

Always be ready to migrate.

I’ve used Libre 1 for years, they work reliably. They will usually fail in the first hours of use, but otherwise work well for the 14 days.

Always keep a standard glucometer at hand, because these monitors can be affected by temperature and humidity.

Hobbies are certainly gender-biased. I haven’t met a female iron scrap sculptor in my life, ever. Conversely, I have known several (five IIRC) female painters, but only one male painter.

Disclaimer: I mean real life meeting, social networks or YouTube don’t count. YMMV.

D-did I say MAGA? Oh my goodness, I meant MEGA! Anyway, carry on.

Heck no. Last time I tried to make an account, someone had to invite you, or you had to prove yourself to them by showing your GitHub as if it was your CV.

Lurking is free, so I went to check what these pro hackers were posting and commenting: many links were already in HN, and the quality of comments was similar. No loss there.

Any alternative you could suggest? I migrated to HN from SlashDot many years ago, because the discussion was mature, and shitposting/jokes were frowned upon.

To this day I haven’t found something similar.

Parent comment meant willingly. People weren’t agreeing to install Backorifice even then.
