  • Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don't know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that's high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.

  • Chinese researchers can access medical information from half a million UK GP records through UK Biobank, despite western intelligence agencies’ security fears

  • Total nothingburger. BioBank is a research dataset used for cohort studies. There's about 500k volunteers who contributed some genetic material, demographic and lifestyle information, anthropometrics and physiological measurements. It's mostly used to discern possible genetic and lifestyle factors for chronic disease. It's not like they're getting access to the whole NHS database and stealing DNA to build supersoldiers.

  • Soulseek deserves a mention for music

  • Seeing hexbear pop up in my feed honestly made my day. Welcome back, I've missed you folks.

  • What is your worst experience with appliances?

    Jump

  • Partner bought me a pet feeder with built in webcam. Worked great for three years until the servers went down. First and last time I trusted any internet connected appliance .

  • Is there any virtual pet device/app where you are the pet?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's a few. Habitica comes to mind, but the generic term for this is "gamification".

  • What should one follow (via RSS/here/elsewhere) to tune into strictly non-commercial stuff?

    Jump

  • I mean there is peertube for video content. I know my instance runs aNONradio which is pretty eclectic music and talk radio, but there are probably other similar streams. There's quite a few services for CC licensed music. Personally I listen to a lot of actual play RPG podcasts, which are probably right on the border of hobbyist / side hustle stuff. More indie and low budget than say, critical role or the like, but still partially monetised, even if only to cover costs.

    Jump

  • Depends what you mean by "non-commercial" and "stuff". Does community-supported via Patreon count? Are you after music, video, fiction writing, non-fiction, comics...

  • Had a dream about drinking alcohol again and feeling like shit. Why is this happening to me? I hate drinking alcohol. I don't know why my dreams keep punishing me.

  • Brains do weird shit when you're not around. Try not to dwell on it.

  • What word looks weirder and weirder the more you look at it?

    Jump

  • This is true, but anecdotally it happens quicker with some words than others.

  • how is it to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays?

    Jump

  • Hospitality worker here. Working weekends means less time to socialise with friends who are on a M-F schedule and less opportunity to attend events in general because they're usually scheduled on weekends. You'll have to put more effort into staying in touch with people and finding things to do on your days off.

  • [RESOLVED] Looking for simple self-hosted image editor / resizer app

  • With a little fucking around I'm fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.

  • Pebble smartwatches are back as 'Core,' starting at $149 with 30-day battery life

  • Core 2 Duo.

    Uhh.. Did nobody check with Intel about this?

  • [Ghost Blog] The social web beta is here

    Jump

  • There's a repo for it maintained by ghost, but you have to do the install and setup yourself. Can't vouch for reliability, never used it.

  • [Ghost Blog] The social web beta is here

    Jump

  • Pretty sure if you self host your own ghost install it's already available.

  • I have a terrible feeling it's a compromised webcam.

  • I suspect that's kind of the point, or at least works in their favour. If you don't know about it, you're probably pretty new here and therefore a better candidate for a victim.

  • Did Leonard Cohen ever cover the song Woke Up This Morning (Got Myself A Gun)?
