I really dig this! Fun way to make some quick tree designs.

FFIV?

Sounds like it's trying to adapt to people that can't put away their phones.

Crazy that the USB-A housing is big enough for that. Makes me want to avoid anything that's not C to C.

Edit: someone pointed out there's an option for C to C 💀

Yeah I was hoping the smaller form factor would make it difficult to fit in extra malicious hardware.

Depends on how they're made. Eggs I make in my carbon steel pan are awesome.

Such a wonderful show. Glad it's getting another season.

IT'S HAPPENING! THEY'RE GOING ON A DATE.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End -- season 1 was wonderful, and season 2 has been great so far.

Poop in a space bag.

Enjoying the show so far, but I'm curious how the plot will progress. Feels like we're still establishing characters.

From everything I've heard, avoid Samsung. Their customer service is apparently garbage.

I've been using an LG one from Costco for a few years now. It's super quiet vs our old one. We did have an issue with the motor, and had to pay for a technician. That being said it was an all inclusive service, so he not only installed an updated motor super fast, but also ordered and replaced a bunch of other parts for no additional cost.

The Supreme Court is taking up a case on whether Paramount violated the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by disclosing a user’s viewing history to Facebook. The case, Michael Salazar v. Paramount Global, hinges on the law’s definition of the word “consumer.”

DC Comics Boss Says Anime & Manga’s Advantage Over Western Comics Lies in Storytelling & Young People’s Desire to Have Something of Their Own - Anime Corner ( animecorner.me )

“The stories told in Japanese manga and anime are incredibly powerful. I often find myself wondering, ‘What is missing in Western comics, and why aren’t they able to achieve the same flavor?’ Also, I think manga has an ‘advantage’ over American comics, which are mostly about superheroes, and that’s where the ...

dance_ninja ,

As much as I have enjoyed DC/Marvel superhero comics, they feel restricted in what they can do. They need to still make their world tied to ours in some fashion. There's no real change. Characters come back to life after a decade. Writers rotate off after their arc is done. Crossovers complicate everything. Things usually feel politically safe.

That gap seems to be addressed by Image comics, like Saga and Monstress. That being said, they're geared more towards adults, while manga publishers are usually marketing towards a younger, broader audience.

Anyone else looking for the Saddam meme?

I created my first (tiny) Python library! PyMicroConf: a tiny TOML config handler ( github.com )

I was working on another random side project and wanted to define configs like Pydantic-Settings without actually pulling in all of Pydantic into my project, so I started writing a custom config class which turned out generic enough that I could break it off into its own thing. ...

dance_ninja ,

Thanks for sharing! I've been using TOML for some simple user-friendly config settings. It's great to see more structured approaches to using it.

CBS News report on ICE officer’s injuries drew ‘huge internal concern’ ( www.theguardian.com )

Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous “US officials” on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” after the incident. ...

Great job C BS News

All the more reason to use my IEMs... At least when I'm not flying.

dance_ninja OP ,

They don't have active noise cancelling.

I'd agree security needs more attention when developing protocols and products, and I'd also consider Bluetooth simple. That being said, I know plenty of folks that don't like the Bluetooth pairing process, especially those without a technical background.

Fast Pair is really convenient, and I'd say it can open the door for a lot of new experiences, but I do wish the developers put more effort into their TARA.

Yeah...I don't want Bladerunner 2049 cuisine.

I thought Germans had unions for that nonsense...Is there a German ghost union?

For the Google-specific stuff, maybe just use a different browser that supports it? My current approach is multiple browsers, but minimize Google/Chromium as much as possible.

The Democrats have never been very good at messaging their accomplishments.

That sucks that you got banned with such a vague reason.

I stopped using my Reddit account after they blocked Sync from working. I still use the site now and then on the browser for casting a wider pop culture net and niche content, but I've tried to shift to the Fediverse where I can.

Some industry groups and engineers have long warned that hidden handles can jam or fail during collisions, fires, or power outages, complicating rescue efforts.

Yeah that concern makes sense.

Automakers have expressed their willingness to comply with the standard although they face a costly redesign.

Every change release is, sadly.

A Toyota body engineer told the National Business Daily the company is preparing mechanical backups inside hidden handles to comply with the new rule.

Great idea -- as long as they're easy to find in case of an accident.

Whitmer is only governor through 2026. Dems still have their primaries to rally behind a candidate, and Detroit's mayor, Dan Gilbert, is running independent.

If the XML standard is overly complex, does that mean it'll be a bigger pain for MS employees to maintain? Sounds like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

Definitely noticed that with Mastodon -- there's not a whole lot of folks talking/reacting with one another. I suspect it's related to the user base (doesn't have critical mass, demographics, or activity) or a discoverability issue. Bluesky, on the other hand, has a whole lot more engagement on a host of topics.
