Not quite what you're after but Seep's sponges are compostable. These are what I use, I cut them in half since they're pretty big otherwise.

Shouldn't that be "wasn't"?

You can definitely use a third party keyboard on iphone. They only force you to use their keyboard when entering passwords, which I can undestand their argument for.

How about better paternity leave for everyone?

Historically, Android has been “built and optimized to run with a 4 KB page size.”

In most CPUs, dedicated hardware called memory management units (MMUs) translate addresses from what a program is using to a physical location in memory. This translation is done on a page-size basis. Every time a program needs more memory, the operating system needs to get involved and fill out a “page table” entry, assigning that piece of memory to a process. When the page size is 4 times larger, there is 4 times less bookkeeping. So, the system can spend more time making sure your videos look great, games play well, and applications run smoothly, and less time filling out low-level operating system paperwork.

As device OEMs add more RAM “to optimize performance,” they will adopt these larger page sizes. Android 15 added system support — by refactoring the OS to be page-size agnostic — for this “increased page size, ensuring your app can run on these evolving devices and benefit from the associated performance gains.” This is supported and available to test on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series. This results in performance improvements like:

  • Faster app launches: See improvements ranging from 3% to 30% for various apps.

  • Improved battery usage: Experience an average gain of 4.5%.

  • Quicker camera starts: Launch the camera 4.5% to 6.6% faster.

  • Speedier system boot-ups: Boot Android devices approximately 8% faster.

I wish we lived lived in a world where we could tell the US to just fuck off.

What about the fly-tippers themselves?

I didn't make it, but I did enjoy eating it.

If it has to be a DE then I'd go with XFCE, otherwise I'd probably go with openbox.

It's been a while since I properly paid attention to things in detail, so was wondering if there's anywhere which allows you easily compare local MPs and party policies.

 

Just thinking in terms of compared to microplastics and toxins in recycled plastic.

 

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix in relation to fans being forced to leave Thursday’s practice session after an hourslong delay.

Dimopoulos Law Firm and co-counsel JK Legal & Consulting filed the suit Friday in Nevada District Court on behalf of 35,000 fans who purchased tickets to Thursday’s practice run, the legal firms announced Saturday.

Just nine minutes after Thursday’s’s practice session began, a water valve cover came loose and damaged multiple F1 drivers’ vehicles. That led to a 2 ½ hour delay, with a 90-minute second practice session beginning at 2:30 a.m. Friday.

Fans were forced by police and security officers to leave at 1:30 a.m. Friday and weren’t able to watch the session.

The defendants named in the lawsuit are Liberty Media Corporation, doing business as Formula One Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix and TAB Contractors, Inc. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, negligence and deceptive trade practices against the defendants.

“We will vindicate the rights of the fans that traveled great distances and paid small fortunes to attend, but were deprived of the experience,” Dimopoulos Law Firm owner and lead attorney Steve Dimopoulos said in a statement.
