I really like making my own za'taar, but it's really hard to find sumac locally these days. Really though, I know there is no real spice substitute for it, but I checked online for fun...

"Buy za’atar. It has sumac in it."

Sure but sure but sure buuuuut-

Maybe I’ll do some hunting this season and collect some for making into spice



@Gargron Was wondering if there was a cutdown Mastodon server option for people who don't want to host other users, but just want to host their own account? Basically their server would just be a profile that they own and could use to access other Mastodon servers.
in reply to DestructoDisk

Yes, there is an option called single-user mode that does that. There are also light-weight alternatives (possibly with different features) like @gotosocial.



With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

I use shampoo and conditioner soap bars, which also eliminates plastic as well as palm oil. I make my own soap too, making sure that none of the ingredients contain palm oil. I wish there were labels on bottles to say 'this contains palm oil' in big writing, but then, would it stop the majority of consumers using their favourite brands? I get the impression so many just don't care.

I finally decided to record an audiobook, a small autobiography from a very unknown guy from the beginning of '900.
Translated it, got some spare time, and then found out I couldn't because of copyright.

Now I'm spending time writing emails instead, very cool

@neauoire found a bug(?) in rejoice: .x^3 prints xxx, but y^3 .x^y prints xxxxxx...x (32769 copies)
in reply to Mia

Oh! Nice catch, it fails to understand it as a symbol, gimme a minute.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

pushed a fix, should be live in a minute.

I'm currently working on fixing another bug, I'll make the check for application parallel to fix this kind of issue:

blue red/[blue blue]

Where this passes by checking that blue is in the bag once, two times, and it really shouldn't.

I don't trust services that use GenAI fullstop.

Machine learning? Fine. GenAI/LLMs branded as "AI"? HELL NO!

I made sure to disable it as soon as I found that it was an option.

I don't know much about sailing, but maybe if the wind is right, this thing turns from human powered into wind powered?

This resonates so much with the cover of the book I'm currently reading, /Les mains vides/ by Elio Possoz (and not just the cover, it's a great eutopia/climate fiction/solarpunk story)

(See merveilles.town/@artsun/116159… 😀)



Planches no. 24 cover! It had been a long while since I did a full color illustration that wasn't a photo study, so this was really refreshing.


Knowingly using a piece of software that *BY DESIGN* fabricates text is not "hallucination" - it is fraud. I'd be prosecuted if I sat down and invented references for submissions in a court case. I'd lose my job as an academic if I did the same for a paper. Someone explain why automating fraud has somehow made it completely fine and consequence-free?

The very tiny remaining few of us who still give a crap about "not lying" need to fight to bring back real consequences for fraud, fabrication

RE: thecanadian.social/@ElbowsUpfo…

Later today, after I shake off the lingering effects of a vacation, we will be announcing a contest where you can win your very own #Plushtodon AND 2 excellent books from #Fediverse champions. Yes, there is effort required to adopt one of these peach coloured cuties because this incredible value is worth working for.

Stay tuned...

#DigitalSovereignty #MastodonCanada


Teaser:
A #Plushtodon Posse, all recent immigrants to Canada, are hanging out in a beach area in Ontario. It's not quite speedo weather yet (they are European after all) so they are catching up on their reading. They're also helping out with house sitting chores but with adult supervision because of their height and lack of thumbs. Soon they will be moving to new deserving homes in the #MastodonCanada community, along with their favourite reading material.
