  • You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends. Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.

    I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.





  • Yes BB seems to be the closest option but in order to unlock it’s bootloader you also need to authorize on some manufacturer’s site which is (to my understanding) a concern in the “consumer’s right to repair” way - if I can’t upgrade a system after its support ends the phone becomes e-waste, and giving your phone number, name, email address to the Chinese government is at least questionable from privacy standpoint. I could be exaggerating though



  • Exectly my thoughts recently! My smartphone is starting to show some problems with its screen and it’s a Xiaomi device which makes it very hard/unpleasant to get root access to reinstall the OS (you have to download a windows app and use it to share your data and reasons for voiding your contract by asking to get root access) so I thought maybe there are non-touchscreen smartphones and when I tried looking for one I only got dumb phone suggestions and I realized that such a phone would have to have a specific version of Android that is not designed around touchscreen technology. I’m not sure what I want, but the options seem to be polar extremes without a middle ground option, something between a smartphone and a dumbphone that will be helpful in detoxifying from doom scrolling and yet still usable for productive activities.

    I really hope that in the near future we’ll see some change in the direction towards smartphones that are not made only for watching videos, playing games, but to some combinations of useful ideas from both dumb and smartphones, like having a decent screen to be able to use maps and with also a “mechanical” keyboard or smth. But then again physical keys will have problems like if they would be made from cheap plastic, there always will be downsides…






  • Lovely. How do you pour the liquid from the jar onto the bottles, with funnel and some filter? I’m also making exactly the same thing right now.

    But there’s this one weird thing - has anyone experienced panic attacks after drinking ginger bug sodas? I did my first gb a few months ago and it was interesting experience but at the end when I’ve drank almost all of it I’ve experienced a very unpleasant sensation. I’ve decided to try again recently and now feel something similar - after drinking a glass of gb tea soda I feel uneasy and very thirsty and even disoriented :/ The first time it was even much worse. I have to say I’ve had a glass of beer yesterday, maybe it has to do with this too… Just curious if someone had experienced the same






  • 21 Century Fox studios who had the rights for the Alien franchise have been obtained by Didney like 5 years ago or something so that is a reference to Alen Ripley character who is now one of the didney princesses, and the alien queen from the second movie os ofcourse the didney queen💖

    Edit: I have a very smol brain and didn’t read the part about pants crapping befor leaving a comment so yeah just some adjacent trivia then, the character on the picture kinda still looks like Ripley



  • To the contrary, lacto fermentation increases concentration of vitamins in food:

    “Fermentation is indeed a process which allows an increase of content of some vitamins in food. For instance, over the last decades microbial fermentation has been increasingly investigated as a valuable alternative for natural folate (vitamin B9) production, and as a sustainable technology based on renewable resources [25].”

    “diverse functional food components in the developed fermented cucumbers, such as active peptides, free amino acids, organic acids, oligosaccharides, exopolysaccharides, and vitamins may increase, but detrimental microbes, oxidants, and hypersensitivities may decrease and eliminate using innovative fermentation processing technologies (Liu, Wang, & Deng, 2023).”

    Basically the lactobacilus and other beneficial bacteria eat primarily the carbohydrates, they don’t consume vitamins
