@thor Yeah, some harmless things like sodium carbonate an citric acid are E-substances.
I've got myself a couple of packs of stevia-based sweetener and It's overstated on the package that is contains 5 E-substances. I've checked them out and none are even remotely harmful. I think their marketing dept and the package designer did an outstandingly bad job with that.

@thor I only had it in Russian and did this poor man's translation using Google Lens so everyone could enjoy.
Didn't know that they only use it in Europe though, TIL.

@thor This is what it takes to know that you'd better stay away from them! 😂

@roboneko
Purrfect! 😹

It looks artificial though, while moon is a natural satellite…
Yep, we can argue about anything 🤣
@thor

@jdarnold
Can't believe this is real 😅
@annika

@Rezard Надо рассказать об этой акции Росатому.
Росатый будет рад 😆

@iska@mk.starnix.network OMG I even use some such cards and it never occurred to me PCMCIA has CIA in it! I have to be more careful 😅

@thor OMG, that's a trypophobic nightmare!
I don't think I have an actual disorder, but some things, like the image you posted and this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU7dj5oVIjo
make me feel a bit uneasy 😅

@gemlog I'm pretty sure the collapse will happen sooner or later. TBH I was expecting this since 2014, but I underestimated how corrupt the European politicians were, so they let it slide then. I was planning to leave ever since, but first the failed attempt at building long-term relationship, then COVID and now this 😩
Yes, a lot of people in the West don't trust their governments and look for alternative sources of information, RT just fills this spot.

@gemlog Qt, aside from being C++, is good from developer's standpoint — it's the easiest way to get cross-platform GUI app done that is consistent across all the platforms, but I always found it aesthetically displeasing from user's perspective. I have to admit though, it did get much better since Trolltech days 😂
Still, it's not my cup of tea.
I get why you dislike Sailfish and all things Jolla, now that I know your story.

@gemlog Yours at least looks nice, like a normal phone 😅
This thing looks like one of the rugged ones, esp. with this case I got.
A friend of mine had this model so I knew what I was in for. She was always interested in alternative ROMs and OSes, so I got one too to tinker with and maybe help her with her phone later.
I like it, the battery is beefy, if you get rid of all the cruft, it lasts 4 days easily, like I'm back in the good old pre-smartphone days 🤭

@thor Did yours have any humans at all in it?
I had a dream like that. Mine had one person who I had to meet. All other living things were gone. Although it was kind of scary, I liked that dream, I tried to write a song based on it, I may still have draft of the lyrics somewhere.

> Windows install has a weird bug that auto-sets the time forward four hours
Do you have a second OS installed?
I have an old Mac Pro, I use Boot Camp to run Windows on it and when I reboot to Mac OS X, then back to Windows, my clock is several hours behind. That's because Mac OS X (and Linux) store hardware clock in UTC and Windows expects local timezone.
Maybe you have something similar 🤷

@ZySoua
So it's like… a Proust thing?
All girls in À la recherche du temps perdu were based on his male lovers.
Damn, why did they make it look like a girl if all they wanted was to fuck a sea lion? 🤷

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Yeah, and you can have both! Some have their boobs built in, others have to share them with the ones who have them built in 😅
But everyone should get a cat 😸

@gemlog
> I quit IT and work on a christmass tree
I wish I could do that, but life's hard. My godforsaken country, Russia, is going to collapse really soon I think and, as I don't want to go down with it, I'm looking for a job abroad so I don't really have a choice — tech stuff is all I can do 🤷

@gemlog That's quite a story!
> suck up better to isp's in europe
And they've failed even at that I think. Now that everyone is moving towards VoLTE and they don't move fast enough, they only have it in beta. If they don't come up with support for that soon, phones running Sailfish might become useless in some countries.
I never was a fan of Qt — both Sailfish and UbuntuTouch are Qt-based, but it's nice to have choice anyway.

@gemlog
Poco X3 Pro. Poco is some sub-brand of Xiaomi.
Nice model, just look at these specs: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_x3_pro-10802.php
I have a 8 Gb RAM version. It has 256 gigs of really fast UFS 3.1 internal storage and I put a 200 Gb SDcard in it on top of that.
CPU is powerful enough to build Mesa in 2-3 mins.
I still remember the days when my desktop computer wasn't powerful enough to run Alone in the Dark and now I carry this in my pocket, wow 😲

Oh, yes! One of the Signal's founders, Moxie Marlinspike has interesting thoughts about this: https://moxie.org/2013/06/12/we-should-all-have-something-to-hide.html
No, despite my nickname being phonetically close to his first name, I'm not him. I had it long before I knew what Signal is, probably before it existed, it's just "me", but with a nice hex flair to it.
I don't like Signal, but his blog has some interesting thoughts.
