Scammers keep targetting people in my life with: :antiverified: "seed oils are bad"
Here's the reality check: :verified: "it's palm oil that is bad, according to the actual research"

Review study finds Palm Oil is unhealthier than alternatives: "Palm oil consumption results in higher LDL cholesterol than do vegetable oils low in saturated fat and higher HDL cholesterol than do trans fat-containing oils in humans. The effects of palm oil on blood lipids are as expected on the basis of its high saturated fat content, which supports the reduction in palm oil use by replacement with vegetable oils low in saturated and trans fat. " [1]

and if they think driving species to extinction and releasing huge amounts of CO2 is unwise, you can show them palmoildetectives.com/2021/03/ and bbc.com/future/article/2021102

@vidzy@fosstodon.org Vidzy is still very new, so there's no clear link if you want to try the mobile app. To get the app go to:
github.com/vidzy-social/vidzy_
then click "VidzyMobile.apk " to begin installing.

Otherwise, you can use it in your browser by going to:
vidzy.codeberg.page/
click join a server, join the recommended server (only two currently) then follow instructions.

As of 03/05/25, I have been unable to upload on mobile and browser, but I could comment on browser, like on both, and both were comparable to tiktok in smoothness. Very occassional lagging, but TikTok lagged sometimes too so color me impressed.

🆕 blog! “ManyTag Colour eInk Badge SDK - Minimum Viable Example for Android”

Last year, I reviewed a Four-Colour eInk Name Badge - the ManyTag HSN371. The hardware itself is perfectly fine, but the Android app isn't great. It is complicated, crash-prone, and not available in the app-store.

After some back-and-forth with the…

🆕 blog! “Change the way dates are presented in WordPress's admin view”

WordPress does not respect an admin's preferred date format.

Here's how the admin list of posts looks to me:

I don't want it to look like that. I want it in RFC3339 format.

I know what you're thinking, just change the default date display - but that only seems to…

"Feb 18, 2025
The Insane Logistics Behind Building Wind Turbines. Hearing about how massive wind turbines are built is one thing, but seeing it is another. Last year, I got to visit the Bekevar Wind Farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, months ahead of its completion in November 2024. So, what did I discover on my turbine travels? What can we learn from Bekevar? And just how do they handle the insane logistics of building such a massive project?"
