My wife grew a person this winter, so I haven’t been able to even clean out last years leftovers from my greenhouse yet, but two of my spice plants (not sure if it’s the right term) has sprouted again on their own (Oregano and Chives) 🥳 And I started housing a grape last year that I hope has survived winter, just have to remember watering it and repot it if I can find the time for it. My mother will probably bring me some tomato and chili sprouts if I ask her, she always ends up with way too many of both 😅

I… Am… grooo…

That’s true, I was just so baffled by how inconvenient and inefficient this suggestion was. I’m reminded of one of these photos, which I think have been used for many internet proposals/legislations in the past:

Probably, but in theory you would be able to take out in a fork. Inconvenient, but doable hopefully.

While I could see maybe the larger companies operating in France agreeing to implement this, I don’t think they would be able to legally force a smaller foreign open source browser developer into the same practice? Take qutebrowser for instance, the developer is from Switzerland. Unless their website is hosted in France, I don’t see how French law applies to him, nor the site he is hosting the browser on? They would have to use ISPs to block the website, but even then, you could still get it through GitHub. Maybe GitHub could be forced into removing the browser as Microsoft probably have a French office, but it still seems like a legal and practical nightmare to actually enforce this through the browser. As someone else mentioned, pushing rules on ISPs seems like a more doable thing if you WANT to oppress people (which I am also against of course).

I got a greenhouse from multiple family members as a combined birthday and Christmas present. Some plants like tomatoes and chili love it there. Some others die because of the heat. Others again love it too much and grow too quickly, becoming too long and thin to support their own weight.

Also, a “problem” I’ve had for the two years I’ve been trying to get some vegetables is being pessimistic about how many seeds will sprout and getting WAY too many. And once they’ve all happily sprouted I don’t have the heart to throw them away, so I end up having a hard time finding enough space for everything. Luxury problem I know 😅

Oh, I hadn’t realized chat apps were covered by it, but that sounds promising! Thanks for the link 🙂

This one I hadn’t heard about until now, do you have a link to some more information?

Then I would definitely dig out my old eye-patch and captains hat again 🏴‍☠️

An alternative to self-hosting and piracy, if there’s something you really want to watch, just buy a month, then immediately cancel the subscription to whatever service has that show, after all the episodes has aired. I usually spend between $30-$50 in total on streaming services in a year this way, and as a principle, I call it “buying a month” as opposed to “subscribing.” Right now I’m waiting for Secret Wars to finish on Disney+. Will probably watch the last few MCU movies and some other stuff during the same month so that’s probably up to 10 shows/movies for $whatever-a-month-goes-for these days. Might do a month of Netflix later in the autumn, as I have a few things I want to watch there now that didn’t quite justify buying on their own. And no, I very rarely rewatch anything, so I don’t really worry about loosing access to them in the future.

About the extra battery, I’ve considered getting one myself, but it sounds a bit like a hassle having to turn off the phone while swapping them out? Or can you connect it to a power source while swapping to keep it on?
