Whoa, wait... diorama maker? Is that a hobby or a side gig? Do you have examples you could share? I'm quite curious as to what adult-made diorama's look like outside of something like DnD.

Even if you convinced me that PFAS are 100% safe and benign and absolutely never make it from the pan into our food....I'd still support banning them because of how nuclear they are to everybody involved with or living near, wherever they're manufactured. Seems like a lot of unnecessary risk just for a slightly more convenient non-stick layer.

I'm confused. What exactly is the plan when you build all of that?

Followup: I created a Scuba magazine, and added a few hashtags to it. It pulled in a few posts from mastodon, but not as much as I'd expect, since my mastodon account that follows the same hashtags sees a lot more action.

I presume my magazine will only grab toots from federated Mastodon servers, but since I'm not following them directly, I'm not really sure how to force federation with them, or how to tell a bunch of Mastodon servers to send their toots our way.

Subsurface

Its dive planning and dive logging software. It's also the only software I'm aware of that can actually pull the data from my dive computer, which uses some crappy proprietary cable and software. The fact that subsurface exists and is automatically in Linux repositories is what finally allowed me wipe out my aging and barely functioning computer, and revive it with Linux.

Thanks a bunch for all that!

I guess technically, it's still accurate to say, "if I can't choose water..."

Good thing you CAN choose water though.

Everybody that is currently in a bath/shower.

Yowzers! I assumed 5%was "has ever experienced long COVID" or it would be heavily weighted toward older people or something. No, the numbers are a lot more evenly spread than I would've guessed, and the National average for CURRENTLY experiencing long COVID is like 6% or something... Wow...

It surprises me because I can't think of anybody I know that complains of symptoms of long COVID, and I'm 38. It's s not like my friends and family are all young , fit people who are too stubborn to show weakness. This data kinda shocks me.

Oh thanks, I shall.

I was kinda oblivious to the world of FOSS until simultaneously switching to Lemmy and also resuscitating an old computer by installing Linux. It took a long time for me to wrap my head around the fact that people are just cranking out parts of OS's, or pw managers, or file zip utilities for shits and giggles in their free time, and not even charging for it. A game or two as a passion project I could understand, but who sits down after work and plods through a zip utility?

After years and years of "if the service is free, you're the product" it really takes some time to rewire my brain. It's almost enough to make me wish I went into software instead of mechanical, so I could pitch in on something.

Is it true that if you download from the GitHub you won't automatically get updates? Does the app update itself internally?

I've heard so much praise for Thunder but I don't see it in the Google play store or f-droid, and I don't trust myself to keep it up to date manually.
