Ummm... What?
Did you give your number to anyone you’ve met recently? I certainly know a few people who would flirt like this 😅

Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

Trans people like me are facing segregation now. We need parliament to restore our rights
I genuinely don’t understand how the right wing have managed to pull this off. What a horrible outcome.
It hasn’t come up yet, but if I see anyone telling someone not to use a particular bathroom for any reason I will be standing up to them.

Please pick a password starting with ad and ending with min
I had one of those “fancy” Vodafone routers included with my broadband which had a stupid rule set on choosing the WiFi password. It’s my network, not yours, stupid router. It can be as insecure as I want.
Anyway the rules were enforced by the JavaScript so it was easy to bypass until I got my own router to replace it with.

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
I’ve been using this for a while now and the only thing I’ll say is that a lot of videos don’t have alternative titles, so since it’s all crowd sourced I feel that the best solution is to have more people using it.
Brilliant idea regardless.

If you still have a land line you can dial locally without even an area code. This worked in most countries. Some mobile phone networks kept this tradition although in a weirder way: you could dial locally when physically located in those areas, and your phone would display the area code you were in on the its standby screen. Which worked as long as you weren’t on a border between cells and it picked the wrong one.
Over time this went away.
I don’t think this is what you have experienced, but it was a nice thing that blurred the lines between land line and mobile phones for a little while, and I think it’s interesting.

Mayonnaise may unlock secret to ‘never unstable’ nuclear fusion
Reply in thread
Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was only manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
The Mayonnaise is probably still down there, we just need to convince a submarine of billionaires to go and collect it.

IKEA's new smart plug to track power consumption could launch soon
I hope they’re still Zigbee devices. No info I can find at the moment but I quite like that I can use Trådfri stuff with Zigbee2mqtt and I’d love to add more functionality

YouTube disabled SRV3 subtitle uploads and started deleting them on existing videos
I have random issues with youtube subtitles in general. I often watch foreign language videos, occasionally for learning. Except sometimes whilst they work in the video’s language, the translations don’t…until I reload the page, or quit the browser. Or on specific computers which never have issues. 🤷♂️

I think Doordash is changing its delivery fee after you go to check out
I go and look up the place I am searching for on Google Maps, see if it has a direct website / ordering system and always prioritise going direct if I can. Many now do, and by and large they have lower fees / lower minimum values since they don’t pay such a high premium for the platform.
