Depends. Here in the EU even Aldi sells linen and >90% cotton clothes sometimes. Some of my best short sleeve linen button down shirts for summer were 10€ at Aldi

H&M, C&A, etc… All also sell cotton and linen for just a bit more than their polyester.

I don’t know about america, maybe you have to search it out more, but you definitely would have to go to actual clothing stores and not target, Walmart, etc… They definitely sell them though. I mean, jeans are not polyester and everyone can buy jeans everywhere it seems. Also linen and cotton lasts longer than polyester clothes.

Just a warning though. Aluminum antiperspirants can cause skin irritation and absolutely cause aluminum salt stains on clothes (bright yellow pits on white shirts).

Also there is a correlation link between aluminum levels and Alzheimer’s, but nobody had proved causation so it may be an unrelated coincidence.

Easier just to shower, scrub well, and use deoderant. That is usually enough for the average person, just not heavy sweating people or people in very hot environments.

PSA: Also wash your clothes (without fabric softener) and stop buying polyester. Much of the “BO stink” is from sweating in polyester clothes and not washing them for a few more wears. Plastic doesn’t absorb and dry out the bacteria so it is much much worse than cotton, linen, or wool. Also use vinegar as fabric softener, it doesn’t smell after the final rinse cycle and it doesn’t leave a waxy film on your clothes that keeps the bacteria nice and comfortable like formula softener.

Except apparently Robertson isn’t used anymore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson_screw

The contemporary square-drive screw has all but replaced the Robertson screw proper and is commonly referred to as a Robertson because it has practically identical drive dimensions and the same colour identification system, but the contemporary square drive socket has parallel sides rather than tapered.

So it is a square drive, not Robertson.

If you want to go really cheap, you can get a used Chromebook for like 50€ and put PMOS on it for full blown Linux 😂

I was part of tech support for work until last year.

My list of ridiculous bugs is quite long… Even down to basics like the microphone, using Microsoft office at all, windows explorer, and opening teams had bugs where people’s work laptops were unusable for day to day tasks.

I cook a lot (not a chef by any means but just a hobby home cook).

Heat masks a lot of flavor. I always think that if the food that I make tastes bad cold, it was shit food to begin with and the heat just hid it.

Texture is another thing, but my food goal is that my meals taste as good cold as they do hot.

Do you have any concrete examples of this being enforced in practice?

All I see:

• our data still gets collected
• our phones, TVs, wiretap “assistants” still spy on us and upload all of our information to personal datasets that companies can access
• “deleting your data” as per GDPR is just a database flag/row that says the data says it is deleted
• EU just authorized any and all companies to spy on your communications 24/7, 365 days a year
• freedom of speech/expression doesn’t exist here any more than in America, maybe less

Our right to privacy (freedom right pillar) is literally daily being violeted 1000 times over and the most I have ever seen happen is a slap on the wrist 0.01% of yearly revenue fine that didn’t change anything. Companies can fuck you over all they like unless you have a 10million € army of lawyers…

Also how is it going in Germany with the Palestine protester that had been locked in solitary confinement (known torture) for 23 hours per day for the past almost year after a show trial kangaroo court where they wouldn’t allow even any independent record of the trial inside (violation of both dignity and justice pillars)

There is precious little enforcement of many rights, so we absolutely cannot take them for granted and have to fight for them on every front.

Hopefully since the EU high density desktop/server RAM industry is pretty much nonexistent (as far as I know), they won’t tax it to hell.

China RAM vs US RAM, they are both not EU “allies” now so there should be little reason.

Oh oh oh I can do this one.

6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

Fuck HMD Global (then Nokia brand) and their absolute trash USB ports.

Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

That is vibe coding.

And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

That is vibe coding.

So the top 3 contributes are

1. An LLM
2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

Isn’t the aurora store not updated anymore? Or is that just their fdroid store alternative?

For FOSS programs I use Neostore which is quite good.

Setup is incredibly bad. They have a very very strict set of parameters to be able to log in at all. I have pretty much given up OK it as there is no way for me to log in for the first time with default admin credentials. It simply doesn’t accept the states environment variables on docker and you get 1 attempt to log in before it gets stuck in a loop and you have to purge the image and every volume and file to get a second attempt.

Most laptops and computer monitors are LCD (by an extremely large margin)

Dark mode draws MORE power that way because people turn their screen brightnesses up to see anything. Meanwhile I can use light mode on my computer during the day with screen brightness on 5% and see just fine. Less eye strain too with a soft cream background or even beige and black text.

Plus then my eyes don’t get burned up when browsing to an app or website that doesn’t have built in dark mode support.

Do you think TSA/CBP is going to check the flash data lines to see if the MCU is scanning the flash internally?

This isn’t a standard USB flash controller… You would need to break the casing and physically probe it to figure out that something was off as far as I can tell. It’s not like the MCU broadcasts that it is scanning to the USB port.

You would have to be hitting the stick pretty hard, not just a normal file scan to notice the timing being slightly too long in a small portion of the scans. The bigger problem would be that the flash drive would be brand-recognizable if it ends up being mass produced that they might auto-confiscate it, and of course the default file that it searches for being known.

Aren’t votes meant to be anonymous to avoid retribution?

Isn’t the public ledger identifying information to be used by authoritarian violence on every single voter in that case?

Huh, I have come across their posts on random big communities multiple times and I don’t remember ever seeing porn or anything even nsfw (besides text, but that is debatable if text deserves an NSFW tag)

Some of it might be practical.

E.g. selling knit plushies or hats so people in your community get food quality items and at the same time you get more funding for your hobby and don’t have 100 hats lying around.

But yeah. I dream of an alternate reality where I could just go borrow a community oscilloscope when needed for a project since I don’t have the €450 right now to put to that. (My projects require at least 100 MHz 4 channel and might as well spend the extra 50 for a good Siglent with 10x more memory depth)

You can buy github stars and forks nowadays.
