The girls an hour before they were killed by Russian missiles. A 19 year old girl died on the spot yesterday, and her 21 year old friend died this morning in Zaporizhzhia ICU.
Tragic. Fuck Putin.

EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime
The salient point (emphasis mine):
Federal law requires the EPA to conduct safety reviews before allowing new chemical products onto the market. If the agency finds that a substance causes unreasonable risk to health or the environment, the EPA is not allowed to approve it without first finding ways to reduce that risk.
But the agency did not do that in this case. Instead, the EPA decided its scientists were overstating the risks and gave Chevron the go-ahead
Anyone can use Resist bot to write their representatives for free. You basically write a short letter on mobile (ios app or text "resist" to 50409 and follow the prompts), and it'll format and send it as a fax.

IANAL - anecdotally businesses here ask forgiveness rather than permission, and penalties are a pittance. They usually do not even have to admit guilt in court. An individual may win their case, but their advasary has its own dedicated legal department and comparatively infinite resources.

Sync for Reddit is dead
Really loved sync, and on principal have quit reddit. I don't know if it does anything, but when I need search results from reddit I view the Google cached version instead.
Looking forward to sync for lemmy (I NEED a read-on-scroll for lemmy, I don't know how everyone else is handling it).

What are y'all anticipating in the chat tomorrow?
Keeping my expectations low in the hopes I'll be pleasantly surprised.

The sync dev is working on a sync for lemmy, I think he said aiming for 4 weeks. He made a channel in his discord for info.

A notice regarding unauthorized game modifying software in Diablo IV

You can see videos of turbohud used with d3 on youtube. It adds, for example, item/skill texts rather than just an icon, more detailed dps meter, and a larger minimap as an overlay, etc. I don't know if any of it should be considered cheating.
Also, for what it's worth, the TH4 site says it disables itself when pvp marked.

Steam Deck is at sale: 10% to 20% off

So many, it's really impressive. Vampire Survivors to Elden Ring (with coop mod and Discord running in the background on SD), to No Man's Sky, to Diablo 4 (through installed battle.net added to Steam as a Non-Steam game on the SD) all run great.
Also, if you have a good pc you can run the game there and stream it to the SD, extends run time on battery by quite a lot.
