You can embed SRT subtitles in the ALT text of a video on Mastodon, and the subtitles will be displayed by the web player.

:mindblown: Amazing feature.

I don't have any extension to block ads... Since I block them from DNS directly. Just use a DoH resolver with an ad blocking list(s), e.g. AdGuard Home.

This also work well in ChromeOS and Android (DoT).

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again https://www.tomsguide.com/news/youtube-is-loading-slower-for-users-with-ad-blockers-yet-again

On PC, just use a piped instance.
On Android, just use NewPipe. Or LibreTube via a piped instance.

I forked SteamOS for my living room PC https://iliana.fyi/blog/build-your-own-steamos-updates/

Interesting to know more about SteamOS.

I love systemd timers, but I wish there were a native MAILTO feature like cron.

Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Chargers.

Yes. Please.

But why not 100%? You have a gasoline stand? Then you have a EV charging stand as well.

I'm trying to clean my floor properly, but it's just a mess.

I don't even know what kind of flooring it is. I think it is a vinyl wood look-alike.

There seems to be wax on it and to clean it properly you have to remove the wax and put on another layer.

What a mess.

Anyone have experience with Japanese flooring?

Cool but that's also 7 years of bloat. :reverse_grimacing:

News in other parts of the world: murder on the streets
News in Japan: tourists leave trash and are in the way when taking pictures of Mnt Fuji together with a convenience store. Because of that, a black sheet to prevent the famous view was setup.

Now news reports that holes mysteriously appeared in the black sheet, so tourists again take pictures: https://youtu.be/EsRWvIL2fSc?list=TLGG6z_fQeTK7MsyODA1MjAyNA

Gotta love the news here :)

@globalc yes and no. First of all these bad tourists are really a nuisance. 🖕 Them.

And then we have murders as well. E.g:

@globalc I don't understand what you mean here? What incident? Just the floating caterpillars? I do hate them, but they can be avoided or you just break the thread with a stick.

At the local super market:
I passed by here many times, then I started to wonder why this fridge with sweets is not located near to the other food area. These here need to look tasty to pet owners, and then be bought for their pets :)

Seeing these, @hananoaki commented along the lines of "well, overaging population, many people having pets instead of children..".

@globalc @hananoaki that's totally normal cakes that humans can eat?

Going back to Tokyo.🛫

On the Sky Liner.

Tourists caused a commotion upon entering the train due to seat conflicts. I checked their tickets and informed them that they were on the wrong train.

How could someone not notice this? "Your ticket is only valid for the 11:02 train; this is the 11:42 train..."

The trail I followed was impracticable and at some point I was not able to find where to go, no more signs on trees... Went back and took another trail.

Bing is down. So is DuckDuckGo... It's just a big wrapper after all.
