  I prefer the simple dy/my/dy/my format (with the year reversed for added ease of use). For example, today would be 14/02/70/72.

  NIST and ISO have stopped responding to my emails, but I’m optimistic that the Türk Standardları Enstitüsü will eventually adopt it as their preferred standard.

  Thanks to mods, all Dragon Age games have nudity.

  They’ve also featured the ability to swap your character model with Thomas the Tank Engine. With big tiddies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Congo questions Apple over knowledge of conflict minerals in its supply chain⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This, to me, is one of the biggest fallacies of tech companies claiming they care about sustainability goals. No matter the application, most of our hardware is made with materials that come from central Africa. Those mines and facilities are largely controlled by China. Whatever you think of China politically, you have to recognize that many of the sustainability disclosures that, say, Apple is making are premised on these mines self-reporting compliance with certain standards. In practice, miners are using outdated, poorly maintained equipment. Commonly, they’re using shovels and even their hands.

  You can write all the cutesy reports you want with stock photos of green leaves, hands holding soil, and smiling “farmers.” Unless and until you’re directly funding better means of extracting raw materials like cobalt from the ground, companies’ claims about their commitment to ESG should be completely dismissed as nonsense.

  Based on the shadow, I’m assuming the plane that took these photos is approximately 3 miles long.
