sonar_un··on Eat Real Food
It's not just way stronger, it's basically conclusive.
sonar_un··on Eat Real Food
There is a massive amount of research that shows that Vegans are healthier as a population than Vegetarians and definitely meat eaters. Lower risks of nearly every preventable food related illnesses, including cancer. Having this new government health pyramid flies in the face of nearly all current research.

I think that anyone paying attention knows exactly what he meant by that comment.
sonar_un··on Immich v2.0.0 – First stable release
The storage template is nothing like managing your photos within the app, moving them to different, more specific, folders. All it does is allow a type of folder structure on the main drive where the upload directories are, but if you have a more specific file structure, it doesn't allow you to manage this.
sonar_un··on Immich v2.0.0 – First stable release
For me Immich has been good, but not great. I keep going back to nextcloud photos if I really want to do any work, like sharing images and file management.

I really don’t get having all of your images in a a library and not in a file structure. Immich can look at your external libraries but it can’t really do anything with them. I can’t injest, say my iPhone photos and then later categorize them and move them to the folder structure for more secure and stable long-term storage. I’ve wanted to like Immich and what they are doing, but I am fearful that they won’t be around forever and I will have just another wandering database of my images that I can’t really move to another platform when inevitably comes along.

sonar_un··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
I spent 2 days trying to get it to run in a VM and it was not playing well. So I just gave it up.
sonar_un··on Liquid Glass in the Browser: Refraction with CSS and SVG
Ok, this was the funniest comment i've read in a while.
sonar_un··on Copyparty – Turn almost any device into a file server
Yes! Bring back RSS
sonar_un··on Eggs US – Price – Chart
I've been vegan for over 15 years, but even when I was vegetarian, I never really considered eggs to be vegetarian. Though some people do.
sonar_un··on Terminal colours are tricky
Terminal colors are tricky, which is why I outsource all of my colors to more capable people. Personally, I like Catppuccin (https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin)
sonar_un··on Mp3tag – Universal Tag Editor
I use metadatics frequently as well. Great program.
sonar_un··on JPEG XL decoding support in blink issue has been reopened and assigned
What a disappointment.
sonar_un··on JPEG XL decoding support in blink issue has been reopened and assigned
I just saw this too. I didn't see anything that was related to the discussion internally about reopening it. But I hope we can finally get full browser support for JPEG XL.
sonar_un··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
The moral of the story, don't rob from rich people. If you rob from poor people, with MLM, or fraud, or money laundering, thats fine. But if you rob from the billionaires, you're being put away for life.
sonar_un··on Old vs. new growth trees and the wood products they make
He made a video not too long ago about old-school windows and some of the ways that they can be still efficient and beautiful. But the kinds of projects that he works on are not really "passive house" type buildings.

sonar_un··on Old vs. new growth trees and the wood products they make
I absolutely love watching Brent Hull videos and I am kind of shocked to see his page on HackerNews. For those of us who are into aesthetic design and back-to-roots craftsmanship, this is the guy to watch.

He had a video a couple of years back on this exact subject. https://youtu.be/cWX4PgCFk7c

sonar_un··on The epidemic of fraudulent DMCA takedowns
Classical musicians are too poor in general to fight this.
sonar_un··on The epidemic of fraudulent DMCA takedowns
Classical musicians fight a similar battle every day with Sony, UMG, and Warner filing copyright on every single piece of classical music posted online.
sonar_un··on Live Map of Swiss Trains
I was just on a train from Paris to Genève and was looking for a map just like this!
sonar_un··on 3D Map of Shinjuku Station in Three.js
Please do Les Halles next. I need that!
sonar_un··on Should I replace my 56k modem with a 28.8K Modem? (2001)
I still remember the modem string that I always used.

sonar_un··on First automatic JPEG-XL cloud service
IOS 17 also added HEIF/HEIC support to their browers, which IMO, is HUGE.
sonar_un··on First automatic JPEG-XL cloud service
From what I remember, Firefox was basically neutral on it, and didn't want to extend resources to it if it wasn't adopted at wide scale. Chrome basically said that there wasn't much interest so they weren't going to put resources towards it.
sonar_un··on Customers don't want chat bots
The thing is, I wouldn't be asking for support if I was able to find a fix for my issue in the first place. ChatBots are unable to fix the initial problem because the system used to fix said issue doesn't already exist in the account tools. Human intervention is required to fix the problem, so therefore chatbots are completely useless in this context.
sonar_un··on Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens
In a way though, Apple tried to solve the problem with haptic feedback. What is completely lacking in all touchscreen controls these days is any kind of feedback. So Apple actually recognized the need for a feedback with touchscreens and invented a solution. Industrial designers didn't even try to "solve" this problem.
sonar_un··on UK airport scraps 100ml liquid rule with new scanners
I have found that Airports equipped with the better Smiths hi-scan machine, laptops can stay in the bag. Screeners also seem to let a lot more through. I travel with a ton of cameras and equipment and when I see a modern Smiths machine, my bag makes it through much easier.
sonar_un··on Multi-Account Containers
I wish Firefox just had proper profiles. Multi account containers are absolutely no replacement for proper profiles with separate bookmarks, extensions, cookies, etc.
sonar_un··on Builder's Remedy goes into effect in many California cities tomorrow
City planning is much too simplistic for the metropolises of California. Region planning is more apt.
sonar_un··on If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel (2014)
There is one in Zurich very similar as well. With the representations of the size of the planets.
sonar_un··on Why there's no 'Dijon' in Dijon mustard
Löwensenf is amazing, my favorite mustard. It is much more intense than regular Dijon mustard, even more than the Edmond Fallot varieties.
