That looks great, it’s making me hungry… good thing I’ve got bread going in the oven myself in half an hour! :D

Trails in the Sky FC remake begs to differ.

Classic Bethesda!

I’m gonna start the Trails series (again) with the remake of Sky Chapter 1. I played a fair bit of the original before but when I saw the remake announced I dropped it.

Many of those wireless issues are because the ISO doesn’t include the firmware rather than it having an older kernel - usually because the firmware isn’t free software. Have seen loads of posts where after installing through ethernet or a tethered phone everything works.

It’s not new. It would usually have been included in their regular release but now they have moved to a longer release schedule so need to release these HWE ISOs instead.

Current Mint kernel is 6.14 I think which is from last year so not that old.

I don’t think it was missing. They’ve moved to a longer release schedule (next will be end of this year) so now they need to release interim ISOs for kernel hardware support changes.

we’re lucky this isn’t $120US

£85 GBP is pretty much $120 USD (it’s $114).

One of them was me. I only used facebook for marketplace. Went to renew my listings one day and it asked me for age ID verification to relist a Pink Floyd boxed set. I then instantly deleted my account.

Researchers from King’s College London studied 498 infants born in St Thomas’ Hospital, central London, between 2015 and 2020. Of those, 125 were born prematurely, 54 at less than 32 weeks – classifying them as “very and extremely preterm”.

Using their mothers’ home postcodes, the researchers estimated the amount of pollution – including nitrogen dioxide and PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter – they were exposed to during each trimester of pregnancy. Then, once the infants reached 18 months old, the researchers gave them a standard clinical test to measure cognitive, language and motor skills.

Those infants exposed to high pollution in the first trimester scored on average five to seven points lower on language tests, compared with babies exposed to low pollution. Premature babies exposed to the highest pollution levels in the womb across all of pregnancy scored on average 11 points less for motor skills than those exposed to low levels.

There’s absolutely nothing scientific about that at all.

AFAIK it was the EU that forced Apple to adopt USB-C, at least on iPhones, dunno if that applies to their laptops too.

I’ve been reading Michael J Sullivan’s Elan series. I’m on Esrahaddon now with just Drumindor to go after that. Read the first 10 pages of Farilane and ragequit it… a jarring departure from Sullivan’s usual style and a protagonist so infuriating I quit (fortunately it’s pretty much a stand-alone). The rest of his books are really good though :D

Bought a new Kobo Clara BW a few weeks ago and put KOReader on it. Very happy with it - a nice upgrade over my 12 year old Kindle.

You’ve got a bit more to go to catch up with Mel!

That’s not kibble.

Here’s some real Human Kibble™.

I pointed it out because the article is nostalgia bait for this “Project Zircon”.

And in celebration of the cheat code’s 40th anniversary, Konami has opened a commemorative webpage on the official site for its Project Zircon. The largely user-built world of this Web3 game platform is still under development, but is expected to include the Konami Code somehow as it grows.

Blockchain, NFT, “play to earn”… nope.

We will do better

I can’t believe anyone believes this anymore. They’ve been doing mea culpas and promising to be better for over 20 years.

Pop the kid on and crank the heat to high

Hansel & Gretel flashbacks intensify

This is what it’s like for Europeans to follow American recipes!

1 cup of any liquid… no problem, that’s 240ml.

1 cup of raisins… who fucking knows.
