You might've heard this concern about veganism: "I couldn't live without cheese!" 🧀

And indeed, the vegan cheese that's available in supermarkets is often… not great so far.

So I wanted to show you how to make a simple, quick & cheap cheese from cashews! It's tangy, savory, and has lots of protein!

@blinry mit dem Pürierstab war es schwierig, die Masse richtig klein zu bekommen. Ist jetzt halt extra chunky. Und sehr lecker! Danke fürs Teilen 🤗

I like this visualization a lot. It shows "the article count of European Wikipedias by language family", arranged to resemble a map of Europe and parts of Asia (maybe it's a "Eurovision Song Contest definition of Europe?).

It's an interesting way to discover all the not so obvious Wikipedia languages, like Bavarian.

Here's the original, from the Wikipedia article about Wikipedia itself: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#/media/File%3AEuropean_Wikipedias_article_count_2019_map.svg

Wie benutzt ihr Schutzstreifen?

Ich sehe 2 Optionen und ihre Folgen:

  1. Schutzstreifen benutzen und mit viel zu wenig Abstand von Kfz überholt werden (sie fahren an der Linie entlang)

  2. In der Mitte der Spur fahren und von Kfz angehupt und ausgebremst werden (nachdem sie "endlich" überholen konnten)

Beides macht mir enorm Stress und beides passiert viel zu oft.

Würde gerne hören wie ihr darüber denkt.

The benefit of Docker is that it makes it easy for folks to run software they don’t fully understand. The downside of Docker is that it makes it easy for folks to run software they don’t fully understand.

@janl
what's your take - is it a net benefit to lower barriers to entry?

Like npm made it much easier for everyone to publish their own packages, while Maven had (has?) massive gatekeeping.

I'm mostly taking "tech is very annoying" away from this 😄

Having worked on jQuery and a Docker hosting service, I can relate 😅😎😂

Ich suche einen Leitfaden oder Handbuch für Maßnahmen zur Prävention von Krankheiten in Kitas. Hat da jemand eine gute Seite? Oder Organisationen die man kontaktieren kann?

Unsere Kita hat aus Corona null gelernt und hat außer "Kranke Kinder und Kollegen nach Hause schicken" praktisch nichts zu bieten. Und muss dann ständig Gruppen schließen, weil so viele krank sind.

Exciting announcement: @bleeptrack and I will create a 2.0 version of our open-source Git learning game https://ohmygit.org! 🎉

For the first time, you'll be able to play the game directly in your browser, using a real Git in a tiny Linux VM!

And for people whose first language isn't English, the game will come with other language versions!

Thanks to the @PrototypeFund for funding these often-requested features!

Is it really coincidence that Mastodon's insistence on description (alt text) for images and large-scale scraping of images to feed generative image machine learning models happens at the same time?

Using “team size” as a measure of success is a really bad idea.

Is this an obvious observation or should I blog about it and explain why?

Blog! Bonus: Talk about how this applies to departments (or not). Mine has grown from 50 to 90 within a year or two

I find this fascinating. Maggi had a very strong presence on German TV in my childhood/youth, so it looks like a very German brand to me (even though it's Swiss). Nestlé, who bought Maggi in 1947, apparently produces it for various Arabic markets as well, which an Iraqi store in Köln than imports and sells here, completing the circle.

My game launched today.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2293660/He_Fucked_The_Girl_Out_of_Me/

It took a lot of pain to get to this point. My worst fear is that it will be met with a wave of hatred or silence.

Steam's algorithm due to the nature of this game will likely work against it being seen.

Please boost if you can.

@taylormccue Steam tells me it's unavailable in my region (Germany) 😔

CC @Beurkeek - seems like this could be interesting to you, both the game itself and the Steam meta around it.

I wrote something about Bulgarian coffee vending machines: https://bassistance.de/2023/07/09/street-coffee-in-bulgaria/

Photo collage of several details of a coffee vending machine in Bulgaria, much more rustic than the other photo.

I want to know what the phone's camera app is doing when I'm turning it on and for a few second there's a kind of flicker (I assume a kind of interference between the frequency of some lamp and the camera), and then that flicker just stops.

I guess there's an algorithm running that detects this interference(?) and adjusts to avoid it?

Might be a good time to re-read https://vas3k.com/blog/computational_photography/ about computational photography. It's been 4 years since I've read it, but I assume a lot is still relevant and up-to-date.
