"We did what we did not by accident, and we will not return the money to them."

Hungary's minister just confirmed the seizure of $40M+ in Ukrainian state funds was a deliberate operation - and threatened to do it again until Russia's Druzhba pipeline reopens.

For several years now, public EV charging points in Amsterdam have also been used to provide temporary power supplies for construction projects and events, for example. The city is now actively promoting this as an alternative to diesel generators on construction sites.

i don't know about Amsterdam but the building code here demands "construction outlets" for that since "ever". Never heard a diesel generator, except for compressed air. And where is the problem in hooking into some cable? That's done in an hour. I guess some weird legal issues are the true culprits for the use of generators.

So, because I'm cheap, I buy clearance food at the local grocery store, sandwiches, salads, microwavable meals, the stuff you find up in the deli or prepared food area, freeze it, then defrost it when I'm ready. This stuff isn't expired, but it is sell by the day I get it.

Today's second lunch/first dinner was going to be chicken tenders, corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. Took the lid off as you have to remove it to microwave it, and…

The mashed potatoes are grey. Ummm, yeah, I think we'll skip that.

I have no clue how ya'll actually FULLY clean your fountain pens, like, fully residue-free.

By now I've accepted I'll just need a seperate converter for each ink, as I don't have the feeling any non-metal part ever gets fully clean with just water.

Ah well, time to let it all rest in water over night for the occasional ink refresher. πŸ˜…πŸ˜­

Where are the Thinkpad people on the fediverse? I’m becoming slightly open to the idea of having a computer that isn’t a MacBook, for the first time in, well, since Macs. Apparently the Thinkpad is the one to go for but I now discover they have a whole load of numbers and letters.

Looking at the specifications on YouTube for β€˜greatest Thinkpad ever’ or β€˜Thinkpad to install Linux on’ type of videos it looks to me that they’re fine for boring office stuff but I’m using Macs for art and design, and the thinkpads they all mention seem to have basic non-retina screens.

I should point out that I’ve never ever used the β€˜windows’ OS, so have never used non Mac computers, but I’ve slightly used Linux as a user (not an expert) since the turn of the century but not on a serious level for art, not while I’ve got Macs sitting around.

Is there an ideal Thinkpad for Linux for art and design? That doesn’t cost too much? That’s still maintainable and repairable? #Thinkpad#Thinkpads

As someone who does UPS-style deliveries using a Chevy Bolt, I can tell you the efficiencies are the best reason to go hybrid or electric, and any business owner who's not considering it is a fool

public travel in and around the town Nuremburg is currently replacing all Diesel Bus with electric Bus, now already more than 100 of them
in reply to Laberpferd

Yep, electric and alt fuel buses are fairly common, its the heavy and super heavy equipment where such a thing is difficult and always interesting and good to see

Day 8, can we keep this up? Well, we can definitely keep rocking, with I Need A Lover, a song I associate with Pat Benatar, don't we all? However it was written and first recorded by Johnny Mellencamp on his first album in Australia, but not released until his second album in the US.. If'n that name sounds familiar, yep, its the name John Cougar Mellencamp originally went by. I've heard his version, but I still can't see anyone else but her singing it, and it was on her debut album.

Gov Katie Hobbs struck a blow for sanity in #Arizona, vetoing an attempt to create a Turning Point Arizona license plate in memory of Charlie Kirk. They also refuse to allow a Sons of the Confederacy license plate in Arizona, thank goodness.

Guess people will have to stick to driving lifted trucks to show they're racist. They can have fun paying $5 a gallon gas! 🀑

in reply to Scary Austin

It is unusual to have a vehicle license plate named after a celebrity. I can't think of any other ones, but there are so many specialty plates. There are lots of animals and plants and charity causes. But not celebrities. That confederate thing though, Arizona is basically the lost confederate state, founded by confederates after the civil war.

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah

Hello all! I deleted my account on techhub.social not too long ago. I've decided to try self-hosting my mastodon account for funsies. Lets see how this goes. I guess this counts as an #introduction

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Anyone know of an avatar software I could use for my videos? I typically do short talking head videos on my Android phone, and thought it'd be fun to replace m'self with my fursona, or perhaps my ponysona or even have a choice of my characters. I did a quick web search, and everything I found is AI which seems unnecessary and likely overkill for simple motion tracking and animation, since I don't expect its motions or mouth movement to be an exact match to mine.

" If you have no trial, no release date, are denied medicines or sanitation, then they are death camps. Constructing and running death camps for racial, ethnic, or national groups is a capital felony under USC Title 18 Chapter 50A Section 1091(a). Whether in peace or war times. So much as planning to do so is also covered under that law. With no statute of limitations."

People are being held in "detention centers" right now who've committed NO CRIME

Can I please have some opinions from accessibility experts / screen reader users?
We have a button with a dropdown list to perform actions (publish, unpublish, etc.) on selected items. The button is disabled when no items are selected. What is correct: disabled or aria-disabled? If aria-disabled, do we need to put more information on the button apart from the name "actions"?
I have already read some explanations, but I'm still unsure.

in reply to Viviana

I heard from another expert that aria-disabled is more correct because disabled buttons don't get to tab order. So it depends on your intention.
