Toward an annual budget
We in the Finance Working Group have determined that the co-op should develop a cohesive annual budget. We currently take in far more than we spend; our current balance of ยฃ24k, for instance, exceeds our total spend over 5 years of ยฃ22k.Loomio

Roblox and the Unreal Editor for Fortnite sure are popular, but you know what would be better? An open source projects, where creators can actually own what they make rather than being attached to Roblox and Fortnite. The Mirror wants to change that.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

I asked my Japanese girlfriend what she thought about the stuffed toy: "It would not sell. It is not cute enough, and it is way too big."
I also expected her to say it is way too big. Space is so scarce in Japan. It is mostly mountains.
yes your girlfriend is cute, but the Japanese are the world experts on making cute stuffed animals.
Is it mostly men on Mastodon in Japan?
I do want you to make money.
Beatrice โTillyโ Shilling was born in 1909 in Hampshire. She became an aeronautical engineer & daredevil motorcycle racer.
In 1936, Shilling joined The Royal Aircraft Establishment. 5 yrs later, she led a team that designed a device to prevent Merlin plane engines from stalling during flight, which helped the Allies win WWII.
Shilling was also the 2nd woman to earn a Brooklands Gold Star for lapping the track at >100mph. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatriโฆ #science #history

Long awaited community update is here! Introducing PineVox and bone conduction headset (help us find a name!), IronOS progress, PineNote insights, and PineTime news! We also cover cluster failure, state of services, and the future of the community upโฆpine64.org
Bone conducting headphones, eh?
Was originally going to say PineVibe, but a couple of people got to that name before me. It's honestly a good name.
Since that's taken, how about PineBand, PineBeats, PineBuzz, PinePulse, or PineRezzin (resin/resonant).
Bonus: PineChime would be a good name for a doorbell cam.

Using Lemmy since the reddit blackout, quite a nice place.
When the blackout began, it wasn't quite ready: the servers couldn't handle the load (not only because of the hardware, but also because of Lemmy itself), moderation tools wasn't good. But the situation improved a lot since then.

Latest comic: Electric vehicles gone wrong
I'm fine with the soft, whirring spaceship sounds that some EVs emit as a safety feature to alert people that they're moving. The new Dodge Charger EV comes with a deafening 126 dB roar, which is just plain obnoxious.
#cars #ev #evs #transportation #gender #marketing
WTF? However marketing asshole who came to with that idea should be suedโฆ
126 dB is well above the danger threshold. People are not supposed to be exposed to 90-100 dB without par protectionโฆ
Or even 85 dB, actually, if it's long exposureโฆ
USA: We make stupid ginourmous electric cars with fake engine sound at 126 dB.
France: We make anti-protesters grenades that produce a 165 dB blast to equip far-right-voting brailess militarized cops.
