Last year, I wrote this article about dating apps privacy ❤️🔒

It has a focus on queer dating apps for Pride, but I think it contains valuable information for anyone using any dating apps.

If you are currently using a dating app,
or thinking of using one, you might find some useful tips and warnings in there: privacyguides.org/articles/202

Good news! By 2028, Toyota expects to make electric cars with a 1000 kilometer (600 mile) range with batteries that can be charged in just 10 minutes!

They're using 'solid-state batteries'. Currently a lot of car batteries use an organic solvent with a dissolved lithium salt. The new solid-state batteries replace that flammable blend with a glassy solid containing compounds of lithium, sulfur and phosphorus. They charge faster, they have 10 times the energy density, and don't easily catch on fire. But they are tricky in various ways.

Toyota wants to win the race, and they've teamed up with a Japanese oil company that will manufacture the battery material. But Mercedes-Benz and other companies are also in the race. The activity in China is particularly intense, as you'd expect.

RE: hachyderm.io/@mweagle/11605483

This was the push I needed to finally export all my old Evernote data and close my account there. I haven't used it in a few years, but I just don't trust Bending Spoons (the current owners) with my data.

@obsidian is all round a much better option for me.

Everyone should follow their joy but I just think fallthrough behavior in switch statements is an absurd design decision

"But then multiple cases can share code—" yeah wow that super aligns with people's mental model of what "switch" means

You can tell it aligns because if you do fallthrough the compiler will ask you if you were serious and you have to set a flag specifying that you were

"Backwards compatibility" aptly named because this behavior is backwards

『 日本で新型コロナによる死者が初めて報じられたのは2020年2月14日(死亡は2月13日)でした。陽性が判明した東京のタクシー運転手の義理のお母さんでした。それから6年、わかっているだけで15万9,805人の方が亡くなり、多くの人が で苦しんでいます。2月13日を、コロナ死者、コロナワクチン死者を悼み、医療従事者に感謝し、コロナ後遺症、ワクチン長期副反応の方に心を向け、パンデミックを忘れないための、コロナ追悼の日として提案したい。

HOW DOES IT WORK:

Once a day I post a poll

You follow me and answer the polls

Each day I will compare all of the responses, and let everyone know who else you currently have the most answers in common with!

You will only be included if you follow this account! Unfollow at any time to unsubscribe.

----------------------

In theory it doesn't matter if the poll is posted here or on another server, as long as it has the correct fediMatch hashtags. But I can only calculate based on votes that my server receives so I'll probably only see results for polls that have been posted here.

----------------------

I don't particularly want to open up registrations on my own server, but it would be cool to have a dedicated server for this. If the users are on the same server as the matchmaker bot, then it can more easily see votes they make on polls hosted elsewhere, enabling greater federation of the question set. Such a server could also host multiple matchmaking bots, utilizing different algorithms or attracting specific communities, but operating on the same question set. You could add additional hashtags to questions for use by various bots: questions tagged "dating" could be ignored by friendship matching, or questions tagged "silly" could be ignored or deprioritized for "serious" matching.

If you want to see me build any of that, boosts and follows are motivation!

If you want to build any of that yourself, fork me on Codeberg!

I could see he was curious, but I knew he had no interest in lengthy history lessons, so I said, “I can do it in 15 minutes. I can give you a 15-minute history lesson that will explain ICE and our current politics.”

“Can I use a timer?” he asked.

I said certainly.

I prepared the lesson, and my nephew started the timer.

Zvažte rodičovství, dokud není pozdě – k tomu nabádá francouzská vláda své obyvatele. Dopisy plánuje rozeslat všem 29letým lidem, a přispět tak k řešení tamní klesající porodnosti. Kritici francouzského programu vidí hlavní příčinu v dostupnějším bydlení nebo mateřských dávkách. Podle ministryně zdravotnictví jde spíše o snahu dovzdělat veřejnost v oblasti plodnosti.
ℹ I v Česku narozených dětí od dob covidové pandemie radikálně ubylo.

Bezmála dvě stě tisíc lidí protestovalo v Mnichově proti současnému íránskému režimu. Účastníci demonstrace provolávali hesla na podporu Rezy Pahlavího, syna posledního šáha.
ℹ️ Pahlaví na bezpečnostní konferenci v Mnichově prohlásil, že si Íránci nepřejí reformu, ale konec režimu ajatolláhů. Apeloval na zahraniční lídry, aby toho pomohli dosáhnout.
