  • I actually used this for the first time last weekend (for a concert ticket). Worked well enough to display the QR code, although the labels were all sorts of messed up (although that might just have been the file itself).

  • TIL about Swatch Internet Time, a decimal time system that has no time zones.

    Jump

  • A timezone is a constant (barring DST shenanigans) offset, which works for all the hours of the day. I can look at my watch here in Germany and I know that it's 8:15 in New York right now. So I know that it's still early in the day for my buddy Jeff.

    In the same-time everywhere logic, I would need to remember specific times, like "people in New York usually start working at 15:00 and stop at 24:00", which is just plain inefficient.

  • Can anyone share settings for Kia EV9 integration?

    Jump

  • There seems to be an interval in which the app actively actively polls data from the car. It defaults to 4h and only during daytime.

    I guess if you set that to a very short internal and the car is not currently charging (at which point the 12V battery does nothing) there could be quite some battery drain.

    That said, draining the 12V battery of an EV to the point where you get problems seems difficult.

  • I had some that looked exactly like this

    Jump

  • I remember showing up for tenth grade, looking at the list of assigned classrooms in the first day of the school year. Instead of the usual the digit number, it said "C1". My classmates showed up, and we're just as confused as I was.

    The C turned out to be short for "container", which we found in a corner of the school grounds.

    That said, being able to quickly go outside in every break was pretty neat. And the school actually did get a second building only a few years later.

  • I think locking apps to only their own files is a terrible idea.

    If a program creates unencrypted, unsecured files on disk, those files should absolutely be free game for any other program. Because if they're not supposed to be read, they should not be unsecured files on disk.

  • It's still an entirely pointless waste of energy for digital drug money.

  • The whole genocide or not discussion just distracts from the obvious fact that Israel is commiting war crimes for which they should definitely answer, even if the total extermination of the Palestinian people is not on their agenda.

  • Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

    Jump

  • the time limit should be way longer given how long previous versions of Windows have been supported.

    What version would that be?

    • Windows XP: 2001-10-25 to 2014-04-08, ~12.5 years
    • Windows Vista: 2007-01-30 to 2017-04-11, ~10 years
    • Windows 7: 2009-10-22 to 2020-01-14, ~10 years
    • Windows 8/8.1: 2012-10-26 to 2023-01-10, ~10 years
    • Windows 10: 2015-07-29 to 2025-10-14, ~10 years

  • Fun fact: there was an attempt to ban the NPD years ago, but it was deemed unnecessary because they never got enough votes to be a serious threat to democracy.

  • What is your prefered way to get audiobooks/podcasts/ebooks for your audiobookshelf?

    Jump

  • I found a free and foss alternative to OpenAudible that seems to work fine: https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect

    There's a sister project to convert the aax (m4b) files, but I found that to be unnecessary.

  • Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox

    Jump

  • The new presentation blurb is really annoying bad at hiding itself.

    That said, new teams finally supports multiple accounts, so I don't have to keep using a web app for the second one on my work laptop.

  • Putin says past U.S. elections were rigged

    Jump

  • Historically, it was implemented because in the 1800's, a lot could happen between an election in, say, Wisconsin, and the time the electoral college member arrives in Washington DC.

    The US being the oldest democracy might have a nice ring to it, but realistically it's just means that there's a lot of outdated baggage attached.

  • TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off

    Jump

  • The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.

    So don't eat seal liver either.

  • Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service

  • They're still working out some kinks, but yes, the new UI of Thunderbird 115+ is pretty good.

  • Germany: Sahra Wagenknecht launches new political party

    Jump

  • These people being part of Die Linke (literally The left, Germany's left-wing party) were one of the reasons that party was unvotable up until now.

    Die Linke will surely lose some (crazy) voters to BSW, but might gain some from the SPD (social democrats) or the Green party in return.
