We grew all kinds of vegetables growing up, and potatoes were one of them. We kept them in a big wooden bin in the cellar and they very rarely, if ever, rotted between seasons. Would use what was left over in the spring for planting (a lot of them were already growing by that point lol).

Moisture is an issue. Dogs knocked their water dish over, and some of it went under the door into the pantry where a bag of potatoes was sitting. I didn’t notice it for several days, and those did rot. Rotting releases more moisture which spoils any adjacent, and so forth.

So I guess as long as they stay cool and dry, they’re golden. Though once they start sprouting they’re less ideal to use for cooking (and difficult to peel, too).

If Trump somehow wins, they’ll complain he’s shooting the wrong people in the penis (but still support him)

In case he can’t afford it in commissary, better send him some topical cream for that topical burn.

Weirdly, that’s the only moniker he went through that I didn’t recall.

That’s a mouth full and may not fit in the available headline space. Can we compromise with an et al ?

I have no idea, TBH. I’ve always bought them in bags where they could “breathe”, and those all eventually start growing (rather than rotting/going bad) if I forget about them in the pantry for too long. The only ones I’ve ever bought that were plastic-wrapped were big, baking potatoes. Maybe it keeps them from sprouting for a bit longer?

Didn’t realize that was the same thing. There’s a lot of fuckery going on right now, and I guess I just lost track.

Whoever’s running the vote manipulation bots doesn’t like this post:

I normally don’t concern myself with such pettiness, but someone is clearly doing this with an agenda and thinks they’re operating in the shadows. So just trying to add some context to the downvotes where I can.

Update: Lol, they just spun up https://ttrpg.network/u/umwagkpn to give it another downvote.

Update 2: https://lemdro.id/u/dybyzgnn spun up and tagging in.

Update 3: https://lemmy.cafe/u/evtmowdq reporting for duty 🫡

Not a word about what, if anything, is going to be done about that.

The Guardian reports that the emails reveal a “behind-the-scenes network of county election officials throughout Georgia” who are "coordinating on policy and messaging to both call the results of November’s election into question before a single vote is cast, and push rules and procedures favored by the election denial movement."

HTC tried to make it usable with their TouchFlo (I think that’s what it was called) skin, but once you veered out of that, it was a mess, yeah. lol.

Which is kind of sad because under the hood, it was pretty advanced for its time.

I don’t think I’ve ever had them mold/rot on me (unless they were in plastic packaging). They usually start growing before that, and I’ll sometimes plant them lol.

Regardless, all of us combined are a grain of rice compared to the real meat and potatoes AI trains on

Absolutely. It’s more a matter of principle for me. Kind of like the digital equivalent of leaving fake Amazon packages full of dog poo out front to make porch pirates have a bad day.

Let’s go, already!

How you can help: If you run a website and can filter traffic by user agent, get a list of the known AI scrapers agent strings and selectively redirect their requests to pre-generated AI slop. Regular visitors will see the content and the LLM scraper bots will scrape their own slop and, hopefully, train on it.

I love that some insecure person spun up a brand new account on an open-reg instance just to downvote you 😆

Your comment is 1 hour old, that account is 54 minutes old (as of this writing)

Would do no good to disclose the username (admins can already see it if they want to do anything about it), and yes, it fits the pattern of the vote manipulation accounts mentioned here

I had completely forgotten about that aspect of it until you mentioned it lol. I just remember rarely seeing WM after getting that Android build on there.

Technically true, and niche devices with QWERTY keyboard like the ones from PlanetCom still exist. But they don’t really benefit from economies of scale, are prohibitively expensive, and are usually at least a generation behind in hardware.

Plus Apple started, and Samsung joined, the “thinness wars” that got us to where we are today. Slide out keyboards were definitely a casualty of that, and I still hold some hope, albeit slim, that those could still make a comeback.

It’s been a while, but I think that’s mostly how mine worked. You had to launch it from within Windows Mobile, but after that, only Android was running the device. Android booted from the SD card and basically kicked Windows mobile out of memory and took over from there. AFAIK, WM wasn’t still in the background, at least on the Froyo build for it. I want to say that’s the case since the TP2 didn’t have much RAM, and Android ran way too well to be sharing memory with Windows Mobile lol.

Regardless, my interest in building and running custom ROMs was born the day I did that lol.

I blame Apple (and then Samsung for copying Apple) for stealing this form factor from us.

Didn’t have that one, but I did have the HTC TouchPro2 that came with Windows Mobile but was able to shoehorn a functional version of Android “Froyo” on it. Peak smartphone form factor limited by the technology of its time. Shame.

Right?!

That’s actually my current setup :)

Got some old analog cameras at an estate sale, gutted them, and put some Pi + camera modules inside. Couldn’t get the original optics to work with it, and they lack PoE, but they’re otherwise doing well (3 years and going). Just occasionally have to reboot them more than I’d like.

Haven’t messed with v4lrtsp server, but zoneminder has been good to me. Will check that out.
