Most powdered detergents contain high amounts of salts which aren’t particularly good for anything downstream of your dishwasher.
I’m unsure of a salt-free dish detergent, but I can gleefully recommend Oasis Biocompatible Laundry Detergent for everyone, but especially anyone with a septic or greywater laundry system. It cleans great and breaks down naturally into plant food.
I get the joke, but also I was shocked to see in the article:
Thunderbird for Android runs on mobile devices running Android 5 and above.
Who out there is still running Lollipop?! That came out over a decade ago. You can’t even get Thunderbird through the Play Store because Google Play Services dropped support for 5.1 back in July. I have so many questions.
Can you elaborate on your request? What feature is it lacking that other browsers deliver on?
Cool story bro. I once ate pineapple while watching a Golden Girls rerun.

Looks like someone out there had the same idea.
They’re currently selling a packaged system for ~$5k, which is a bit pricey, but maybe worth if you’re full time on the van life. Looks like you could probably fit 2 of these units on a typical roof, obstructions permitting. Alternatively you could do one tracker and one flat unit.
It looks like ground based 2-axis tracking systems can be found for ~$500-1k, you’d just need to bring your own expertise to mount it to the roof and program the controls yourself.
Semi-unrelated: others mentioned painting your van white (which you already have) but I’ll raise you one better - consider painting it with an IR-Emissive cooling paint, e.g., https://i2cool.com/
There’s unfortunately few products on the market at this time, but keep your eyes peeled.
I know little about Proton Pass, but how confident are you they don’t also use a proprietary SDK with their open source apps?
The harm side comes in multiple forms:
Harm to the animals; by removing their nutrient dense food source, and feeding them sugar water in its place, impacting colony health
Harm to the ecosystem; by mass producing honey bees we are choking out other pollinators, and the selective breeding for honey bees prioritizes output and makes colonies more susceptible to disease and collapse.
Even if you feel like the bees we’re farming lead a good life, that life comes at a cost of other species - we are choosing a winner in the food web in a way that could be done less harmful for similar end result (i.e., plant sugars / syrups). Much of veganism is about harm reduction.
Knowing the importance of pollinators to our food supply, as a vegan I would probably not have much of an issue with pollinator farming if there goal was maintaining biodiversity, instead of min-maxing profit.
How’s about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?
I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law, AB 2426, to address concerns over “disappearing” purchases of digital media, including games, movies, music, and ebooks.
Does it count as a story element if they have two of the main characters send you back and forth on meaningless fetch quests about 42 times to advance between major plot points?
It’s not uncommon for some folks to live well past 120, but I hear OP’s uncle is exceptionally spry for an older feller. Almost looks like he hasn’t aged a day in the last 60 years.
I wonder if those numbers have anything to do with the fact that Payday 2 is pretty regularly on sale for like $2,for a mature game, while Payday 3 is $40 for what is essentially a public beta based on the amount of things they’re having to fix/change/update.
Saw this question posted elsewhere, so I’m paraphrasing somebody else, but the privacy benefits of Graphene OS are ESPECIALLY impactful if you’re using invasive apps. The whole point of setting up all of the extra sandboxing, storage limits, network restrictions, yadda yadda yadda, is specifically for people who might need or want to still leverage some apps from bigger, less trusted providers.
I’ll flip the question, if you’re only using trusted, vetted, open source applications, do you even need GrapheneOS? Why not LineageOS, which also comes free of gapps?
And this also fully neglects the inherent distinction between privacy and security. Maybe you trust google knowing you called your mom last night, but you don’t want your oppressive conservative government accessing your phone to view your Signal messages to your Grinder date. There’s more to privacy than just the number of times your phone pings Google Telemetry servers.
Worst thing? Someone with access to your password can now break into the associated account, and use that access to snoop or potentially permanently lock you out. E2EE data could be lost forever if they change the password and 2FA.
More likely? Unless you reuse passwords, or the associated site has been recently compromised, pretty low odds of compromise. If you suspect your 2FA has leaked, just get a new secret, easy peasy. Most reputable sites should alert you to a login on a new device, potentially giving you time to react or alerting you of snooping.
If your secret leaks without context on what site it’s associated with, then unless your name is Taylor Swift, odds of someone associating it to a site, let alone the matching password, are astronomical.
Lemmy and snarky references back to Reddit like that ex-girlfriend you’ve “totally moved on from”
You running the Trump campaign in your spare time?
I love that the cover image for this article about buying Chinese EVs is a car from a Swedish manufacturer (Polestar, owned by Volvo). Western media really knows jack shit about the Chinese EV market.
No Jira ticket, no fixy.
“Septic safe” is a pretty loose definition, and usually means “this will not break anything” not “this will naturally break down into something that is not harmful to the ecosystem outside of your septic tank”, but it’s usually a good start
