I can always tell when a product uses stevia because it leaves a bitter aftertaste to me, but lucky if your entire family can't notice it!

My partner and I can always detect it, even if we had no idea it was there and in small amounts. We have to start looking out for its use more and more because finding out something has stevia is really off-putting 😩

Glad you are okay. I got out yesterday too and the scenes of the city were just an absolute mess. Glad the cell towers are back online, so many people I saw yesterday were just trying to find a spec of reception to get even a single text out to their loved ones to let them know they were still alive.

It's going to take quite some time to repair all the damage and get power back up, but I saw the National Guard rolling in as we left with tree chippers 🙏

Opinion? Try again. It's called slander.

You do realize Vancouver has rioted 2 out of 3 times after losing the cup on game 7?

I happily use Fedora for workstation purposes but hate to admit I use it, so it's an accurate critique. It's a great operating system though, naming aside.

My husky got sprayed once on a late night walk. She was so confused -- she just wanted to be friends!

She got two jets: one in the facial area and another on her rump. The stuff near her face came out relatively quickly (think a timeline of months), whereas the spray on her butt really got the chance to soak in to her double coat. It would still smell ~5 years later if she got wet, just absurd staying power.

It did eventually fade or, at the very least, became less distinguishable from the general smell of wet dog

It literally was in the opening paragraph. Previous years keynotes are available in a playlist here, so I assume they'll do the same for this year's keynotes as well. The event only just ended yesterday.

Open Source Summit 2024 keynotes. I don't think any of the recordings are available yet.

The malicious code is only thought to have affected deb/rpm packaging (i.e the backdoor only included itself with those packaging methods). Additionally, arch doesn't link ssh against liblzma which means this specific vulnerability wasn't applicable to arch. Arch may have still been vulnerable in other ways, but this specific vulnerability targeted deb/rpm distros

I hope you're right and this isn't about them getting ready to DRM brush handles to brush heads. Sonicare brush heads are ridiculously overpriced compared to the knock offs

I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

This is a feature of SATA devices too. Use UUIDs in your fstab unless you enjoy playing musical chairs with your mount points

Been a sync user since 2010. LJ has taken a lot of breaks but has always come back

You need to use chown if you want to own the libs

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

I don't actually know the answer, but I couldn't resist digging at least just a little bit. My gut tells me that it's probably related to rad fem in some way, like with gold star lesbians etc and that somehow trans people are involved.

The only thing I could really find was the term "bi lesbian" which is just a way to invalidate the identity of multiple groups of people at once.

I think maybe some people might be uncomfortable identifying as a label of lesbian, and there are other ways to express this, like wlw. Also for some, lesbian still carries a stigma or implies a connection to porn. Maybe that just means we should work on reclaiming it though, instead of shunning the label

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

A bit late to your comment but they simply don't want you to talk to a human. It's that easy. Talking to a human results in empathy, which results in giving away of deals the management doesn't really want you to give out.

They'd rather you get frustrated at being able to not reach a human and then you just give up and be a good sheep and pay what you're expected to.

Oh, unless you want to cancel, in which case it will take no less than 10 different humans bouncing you off various departments and scripts because making it easy to cancel also results in bad metrics

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real -- hopefully it comes this week.
