Source? Or did you just came up with that category based on your own personal experience?

Perfect choice! Just try to keep beef at minimum, if you can, because it is the most damaging one for the enviroment.

We could all try and do a bit with our daily choices:

  "Tofu has been crowned the prince of protein by a scientific scoring system that measured human health, sustainability and affordability.

  ...

  To assess the environmental impact of each food, MacDonald compared the greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, land use and water use involved in producing 100g (3.5oz) of protein from each food.

  Tofu was judged the best in this category, followed by chia seeds, quinoa, beans and sunflower seeds. Meanwhile, pork, beef and cheddar cheese came last."

  Object.prototype.message='alert\x281337\x29';Array.prototype.toString=Error.prototype.toString;Error.prepareStackTrace = Function;const x = new Error;x.valueOf=x.stack;+x;
Well, that's a mouthful! So many years and JavaScript still can do the most amazing, weird, awesome, scary, obscure, and sexy things in the world of coding.

So can we hire back those Oracle workers to write some code now?

Re:What Your Bluetooth Devices Reveal About You on Monday February 16, 2026 @10:15AM (#47036057)
Tangential, sort of: in the early days of mobile phones for the masses, when there was no WiFi/3G in the underground, I will often enable Bluetooth in my phone, look for nearby devices and try to match names and looks.

That was before everyone had their "John's IPhone" or "Samsung A55" boring names everywhere and some of us cared to personalise our device's name.

Anyone else played this game?

Also he became a father[0] around that time. Everything adds.

I mean, you should totally go and rewatch it, don't let me stop you from enjoying again the movie!
Re:Hackers (1995) Animated Experience on Friday February 06, 2026 @10:28AM (#46914014)
Sadly, looking through the code, doesn't show up any "GARBAGE" file easter egg to be found.

Amazing stuff, nevertheless!

Too little too late, already ditched the whole ecosystem after so many years and devices.

Well, they have this list in their repo: https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Compariso...

Only one I can see is (slightly) less RAM use.

Sanding and polishing, likely.

Have you check https://pitch.com/ ?
Yes, and I do the same. However, Kids Corner was a curated list of apps that you chose to share freely without password/FaceID.

I don't want to lock my browser, photos, maps, etc. behind FaceID. I want to hand my phone knowing they will only use one or two apps and the fun stops when they hand me over the device.

That's parental control, that's not the same. I want to hand my phone to my kids and let them access only one or two apps that I have listed as allowed.

I don't want (yet, but it will come) for them to have their own device that I control as you explained.

Slightly off-topic, but as this will require kids to have access to an unlocked phone...

I remember Windows Phone had the feature of "unlocked apps", which you could run without having to unlock the phone: think calculator, browser, games. It was called Kids Corner[1].

Have any other OS (iOS/Androind) copied anything similar to that? This app will (or at least in my case) live in a place like that, where they do not have access to the whole platform.
