Shit I still don't want to buy a new fridge. But having a working fridge instead of a dead, partially disassembled fridge in my kitchen would sure be nice....
@sundogplanets
Recommendation: If you buy a fridge, do *not* by LG. They are champions of the short-life refrigerator.
Health data is some of our most personal data, and most wearables companies are behind the times when it comes to basic privacy practices and transparency. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/most-smart-watches-rings-and-bands-lack-basic-transparency-reports-and-key-privacy
It seems like a shipping-address form would be make a good standalone web component. I don't suppose one already exists?
I suppose the problem is that it's either just-a-form (no web component necessary) or it has to access an address validation API – and then it's not really stand-alone. So maybe never mind.

"For | was hungry and you gave
me food, | was thirsty and you
gave me drink, a stranger and you
welcomed me"; Matthew 25:35
For | was hungry, and you voted against the school lunch
program that provided me my only meal of the day, | was
thirsty and you voted against clean water legislation, a
stranger and you deported me without due process to an
infamous prison in El Salvador.

@mathew I dislike that DAZN is apparently pronounced "Da Zone" and not "Daz'N"
I love that Lina Khan uses phrases like "existing monopolists" ✊
Hi @elricofmelnibone! The values on which the EU is founded: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights.
You can read more here: https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/principles-and-values/aims-and-values_en
@EUCommission Nothing but vague lip service to "rule of law" and "human rights". Pretty much every recent EC proposal or action has been aimed at eroding democracy and violating basic human rights.
I have a couple vinyl albums of Stuff Smith on the jazz fiddle and I love them so much
I'm almost tempted to find a way to digitize them for preservation purposes
I've looked in the regular places out of curiosity, as I would never never do a piracy and I couldn't find the albums there either

"Chevron Will Explore a Pipeline Bypassing the Strait of Hormuz"
Building a pipeline in a growing war zone that is intended to directly challenge the regional power should be easy
The hope is investors are gullible enough to believe that at least
