Mayonnaise on pizza is surprisingly common in Finland, e.g one local pizzeria near me puts garlic mayo on certain pizzas – enough that there’s more mayo than tomato sauce. For some incomprehensible reason they also put the mayo under the cheese. As you can guess, it was repulsive. However, BBQ sauce and bacon pizza is a nice combination, which is also normal here.

Truffle mayo did work in some pizzas, in moderation.

Given that there are engineers involved I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was deliberate. Trying to get potentially offensive or otherwise NSFW acronyms past marketing without them noticing is practically an industry-wide joke at this point, which is why they are so prevalent in the FOSS space. (no marketing staff to complain)

If that’s true in this case, though, hats off to whoever managed to get it though to official commercial standards

That, or the system has a transparent lockout, where if you type your password wrong for e.g. 3 times it’ll stop accepting new tries for a specific duration to stop people trying to guess the password. I’ve run into this type of brute forcing prevention multiple times, though IMO the correct approach would be 2FA coupled with proper passwords instead.

Quickly played the storyline of Detroit: Become Human through for the first time, some Dishonored for nostalgia and fell back to playing the PS2 games I never had the console for back when I was a child.

Most of my recent hours have gone to Rayman 3, and there’s a big heap of PS2 games to go through after that. I’ve noticed PCSX2 doesn’t consume much battery, so my typical travel games tend to be PS2 games as well.

There are different versions for interior and exterior use, using different types of glue. At least OSB/0 and OSB/1 can be used for internal applications and are considered safe. Not that I would trust a landlord doing this to select the correct board type, especially since the safe variants might have some issues with the humidity exposure in a kitchen.

But there still are many cases for using OSB indoors, e.g. behind drywall to give it some more strength (instead of more expensive plywood). Wouldn’t want to leave it exposed in a kitchen though, it’ll get messy if it’s not properly treated, and in the picture it doesn’t seem to be.

For local usage on linux there’s virt-manager, has been good enough for my use at least, and the integrated spice client has relatively good graphics performance for normal desktop use.

Edit: don’t know about a good gui for running qemu on windows, though

Wouldn’t say so, loads of people and organisations use it as a pseudo-CDN of sorts AFAIK

Many do, for long term archival at least, but tape still has only 30 years lifespan and has other limitations. As an example, the media wears relatively quickly when in use, so if there’s a need to access the data even relatively often optical media would make sense. That’s often not an issue in archival though.

I find it funny how whoever originally created this meme somehow ended up using a picture of Macintosh II (or IIx, IIfx) to represent a computer. An over 30 yo mahcine, which while capable of speech synthesis is not going to talk to you without being requested, unless you’ve configured something very incorrectly.

Feels a bit like a floppy disk still being the save icon; computers are still being presented with floppy drives and a CRT monitor in clip-art and such.

SEO is of course a problem, but it’s been a problem for a long time, and there are ways around it for those who know how to seek information. Proper use of keywords, blacklisting sites with known spam information, searching specific sites, mandating specific words and phrases to be contained in the search etc. It’s true, however, that information has become less discoverable during the latest decade – at least reliable information has.

While AI-written spam articles and such have been a pain sometimes, gatekeeping content is in my opinion as big of a threat to the proper use of search engines for finding information. As more and more sites require you to log in to view the discussion (social media is the worst offender here) much of the search results is unusable. Nowadays the results lead to a paywall or a login wall almost more often than to a proper result, and that makes them almost completely useless. I understand this kind of thing for platforms which pay for creating the content, e.g. news sites, but user-generated content shouldn’t be locked behind a login requirement.

I fear the day StackOverflow and Reddit decide the users’ discussions should be visible for only logged-in users. Reddit has already taken the first steps with limiting “NSFW” content to logged-in users only (on new reddit). Medium articles going behind paywall also caused some headaches a while back.

In Finland at least, and AFAIK most other European countries as well the law mandates drivers stop if they see a pedestrian about to cross the road. We have “intention to cross the road” buttons too, in some intersections with limited visibility or a lot of traffic – but by no means are you required to use them. From the looks of it crosswalks have the right of way in the US as well.

I can’t really understand the assumption that people don’t need to pay attention to the road because of some button. In a sensible legislation the driver is responsible for the accident even when the pedestrian is jaywalking unless they literally jump in front of the car from behind a bush or something. If the police rules you had a realistic chance to avoid the collision you, as the driver with a license meaning you’ve had the necessary tutoring, should be at fault.

A Nokia 5310, before moving over to a ZTE blade gen1. Really liked the XpressMusic phones, and their proper headphone out and proper signal levels when using it. Trying to use the aux on car stereos with any following smartphones before my current Xperia 5 III was hopeless, since the maximum voltage levels were so low you had to turn the amplifier volume up to 11 just to hear anything…

I wouldn’t call OLED a minor upgrade – considerably better battery life and color rendering. Also better blacks without background bleed, which is a major annoyance when gaming in dark (bus, plane, bedroom etc.)

800p is for a good reason – although e.g. 1080p would be more crisp, personally I’d pick better colors and higher refresh rate over resolution in this case. When gaming with the APU, most games (especially AAA) can’t be upped to 1080p either way without considerable performance drop. I kinda understand the need for higher resolutions from a strategy gaming standpoint, but to me at least the compromise isn’t worth it.

When PPI is considered with standard viewing distance, it’s still better than my 1080p 13" laptop. With proper anti-aliasing there’s no need to push it further, at least IMO it’s not worth it compared to the reduced performance.

2560x1600 would make a bit more sense, as you could drop the resolution to 1280x800 without having to smear pixels due to pixels not lining up in the smaller resolution. That would also be better for strategy games. Don’t really know how good the panel availability for those is, though, since it’s probably using a tablet screen.

If you’re using powdered detergent, make sure yours doesn’t have zeolite as the water softening agent. It will deposit in the machine, and starts eventually covering the fabrics with a talcum-like powdery substance. It gets especially bad if you either have to use a lot of detergent because of hard water, or are overusing the detergent.

Zeolite was brought in to replace phosphates due to environmental concerns, but it has its own problems with the washing results.

One other thing that often ruins the freshness of clothes for me is overly scented/perfumed detergent. The smell can get quite overwhelming, and contribute to a chemical-y smell and feel.

Just in case someone misreads this, add the vinegar as the softener, so it’s not in the first load that contains the detergent. The detergent is a base, and relies upon that fact to get rid of some of the stains, and vinegar as an acid will neutralize that. Vinegar is meant to be in the rinse cycle when washing laundry, where it can help get rid of any extra detergent by neutralizing it and do any other magic it does.

Also, though I don’t usually encounter them often, do note that vinegar can wash away zinc and silver oxides used for some sterile clothing, and can supposedly damage lyocell.

But overall I second these suggestions. Most times the amounts listed for detergent are far too big, and you can often get by with less.

And we’ve nowadays taken it even further, in spoken Finnish we’ve even got rid of the “hän” and mostly use “se”, which is the Finnish word for “it”. The same pronoun is used for people in all forms, animals, items, institutions and so on, and in practice the only case for “hän” is people trying to remind others they consider their pets human.

Context will tell which one it is.
