Dark chocolate might have health perks, but should you worry about lead in your bar?
Dark chocolate bars tested by Consumer Reports exceeded California's daily maximum allowable dose levels for lead or cadmium. But a toxicologist says eaten in moderation, it's nothing to worry about.NPR

History Of DXVK: Vulkan Makes Linux Gaming Possible
DXVK is one of the most important pieces to the Linux gaming puzzle but have you ever been curious about it's early history and how we got here.==========Sup...YouTube
I'm so happy!
I applied as uopeople student with sheerID and storytel and I got accepted. I thought they will reject me but they did not 🎉
Also, I'm happy to see the university I'm in is listed among other universities, it's like pointing and saying "oh I'm there" (I know it sounds dumb 😂)

I just want the Trappist-1 system,
7 planets shining bright,
From TRAPPIST-1b to TRAPPIST-1g,
Each one a cosmic sight.
I don't need any presents,
Just the wonder that you bring,
Your planets orbiting around,
The star that makes them sing.
I just want to explore you,
Discover all your secrets, too,
From rocky worlds to gas giants,
The mysteries you hold true.
Chorus:
All I want for Christmas is you,
Trappist-1, oh how true,
All I want for Christmas is you,
The beauty of your cosmic crew.

Now imagine if Mastodon didn’t exist and this was happening.…
Aren’t we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?
Hopefully we’ll get lucky again…
Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech that’s in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic “projects” that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.

The Future of Internet Regulation at the European Parliament
A brief write-up of my talk at the EU Parliament last week with embedded videos of my talk and a link to my slides.Aral Balkan
Unless I’m mistaken, not until it was up and running. Please correct me if I’m wrong @Gargron. Did you receive any EU funding for Mastodon at the start and is there an ongoing/permanent funding stream from them that’s not based on implementing certain features/specific deliverables?
(Because there should be.)
@Gargron @violetathena @NGIZero
I encourage you to get more funding because you need to face growth, exponential growth. And all on AWS will not make it on the long run.
@Gargron @violetathena @NGIZero Thanks, Eugen.
That’s exactly the issue I’ve raised twice at the European Parliament now. That we need funding for organisations not features and we need it at the start, not after it’s impossible to ignore that something works and is being used (because not everyone can or should have to undertake the burden of getting to that point by themselves. Some of us do, but if we require that as a rite of passage we’re going to limit the potential for alternatives.)
