Here's an example from the BBC:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeUM1WDoOGY

Why Do Cats Miaow? | Cats Uncovered | BBC

Though just to mix things up, the BBC Earth YouTube channel appears to be using title case capitalization in that title, which is typically an American English style, there. The main BBC YouTube channel appears to use the more-usually British English sentence case capitalization.

So I expect that there's always the possibility that people aren't always super-religious about the form of English that they use.

The intention behind the unsolicited shipments has not yet been clearly clarified. Possible is so-called "brushing scam", the experts speculate. This is called fraudulent tricks that have the goal of falsely driving sales figures up or receiving user reviews. Seeds are suitable for this method because it is easy and cheap and can be sent as a letter.

I remember when NPR Planet Money did an episode on this some years back.

Was inexpensive trinkets out of China being sent to the US then. Doesn't have the invasive species aspect there.

156: Prohibition of outraging religious feelings

(1) No person shall outrage the religious feelings of any caste, race, community, or class by words, either spoken or written, by visible representation or signs or otherwise.

(2) A person who commits, or causes to be committed, the offense referred to in sub-section (1) shall be liable to a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years and a fine not exceeding 20,000 rupees.

I wonder if they recently increased the severity. This overview of blasphemy law says that Morocco normally only gives two years in prison.

Woman in cat mask runs amok with knives, answers 'meow' to police officers

I wonder if the article author translated it or whether she was speaking English.

Cat meowing

English: miaow (UK), meow (US)

Korean: 야옹 (yaong)

Boost Functionality for true Neapolitan Pizza

Oooh, that's gonna piss someone in the EU off if the EU has it as a protected geographical indicator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ooni_(company)

Ooni is an outdoor pizza oven company based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R46730/R46730.2.pdf

For geographical indications (GIs), which protect distinctive products from a certain region and apply primarily to agricultural products, the UK and the EU agreed to protect each other’s GIs that existed as of December 31, 2020, under each side’s own GI scheme.

The EU protects True Neapolitan Pizza: new regulation and certifications

Authentic Neapolitan pizza is now protected in the EU by the geographical certification "STG" (or "TSG", traditional specialty guaranteed). The European Union, with Regulation 2022/2313 accepted the request sent by Italy to protect the name and methods of preparation of one of the main symbols of Made in Italy in the world.

With this decision, therefore, no one will be able to use the name "Pizza Napoletana" (or "Neapolitan Pizza") unless accompanied by the wording STG.

New rules for the protection of the authentic Neapolitan pizza

To avoid imitations or improvised interpretations of Neapolitan Pizza, the EU has expressed its willingness to protect this typical specialty of the Italian culinary tradition, rewarding the certification only those who follow the original recipe. Among the characteristics of STG certification:

  • cooked in a wood oven [emphasis mine]

I think that it may be legal, since it sounds like Italy got the "Neapolitan Pizza" protected post-Brexit.

While this has been functional and reliable, i cannot stand the UI, its slow and sluggish and overall hasn’t been a great experience to configure.

Router: ER605

If your issue is just the Web UI on the router, most network hardware that I've run into has some kind of CLI interface.

It sounds like you can set up SSH to the thing.

https://superuser.com/questions/1680383/how-do-i-gain-root-command-line-access-to-a-tp-link-tl-r605-router

First you have to enable "Remote Assistance" which apparently enables SSH access. Then SSH into your router

ssh user@routerIP

I noticed on a mac that Ventura no longer accepts lower hashes so you have to update the ssh config file on Mac's (and perhaps other Distros) with the following:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config

then add to the bottom:

HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa <<enter new line as I don't know how to edit in this forum>> PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

Then Save.

When you log in you have to enter the command EN (to enable, similar to a cisco router)

From there, type help.

Thats as far as I've gotten. Help shows a bunch of config and show options.

After you have entered "en" for enable, you can enter "configure" to get to config options. Type help after Configure, lots of options there.

Didn't this happen a while back? I mean, I'm not saying that the financial issues are resolved, mind.

EDIT: Ah, yeah, some other people have pointed it out.

Is the British Broadcasting Corporation a hamburger or a banana?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago

I'm sure that I have before when a character is oxygen-deprived, but I can't remember exactly when.

I think I did when watching that scene in Event Horizon where a character is momentarily possessed and enters an airlock and initiates the decompression sequence to space, where he's briefly exposed to a hard vacuum before being knocked back into the airlock by a rescuing crew member.

I haven't watched the video


I would generally rather have text form content


but if Rossman is announcing the same thing that I just read about elsewhere, it's not a removal of sideloading. It requires that a developer register and provide Google with personal information for Google to let them create packages. Assuming that Google is willing to let the F-Droid developers register an account (which I assume they have) and sign the F-Droid package, it should not restrict installation of the F-Droid package.

However, you wouldn't be able to use F-Droid to install any packages that didn't conform to Google's new requirements.

I doubt that the restriction is at the store app level, but at the package installation level. That is, I would expect that the F-Droid or Google's store app or whatever says "install this package" and the OS refuses.

https://developer.android.com/developer-verification

Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices.

Step 1

Verify your identity

You will need to provide and verify your personal details, like your legal name, address, email address, and phone number.

If you're registering as an organization, you'll also need to provide a D-U-N-S number and verify your organization's website.

You may also need to upload official government ID.

Step 2

Register your apps

You'll need to prove you own your apps by providing your app package name and app signing keys.
