+1 for never updating my extensions if they work.

Was setting up a new dev environment today, and Thunder Client ~~is~~ WAS my go-to for doing API testing. Now the free version is no longer compatible with VSCodium OR code-server. And on top of that, they've shoved in AI where it was neither needed nor wanted.

So, can anyone recommend an alternative to Thunder Client? Basically just need a way to do GET/POST tests through code-server / VSCodium. Preference is for something that works in code-server since I use that for just about everything since I'm constantly moving between devices.

For now, I've just copied the 2+ year old version from my old dev environment to my new setup, but that's just a temporary measure.

The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" -- a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles. We spend hours glued to our screens. "Analog bags," as they're also called, are one way millennials and Gen Zers are reclaiming that time. "I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.

The 31-year-old keeps one bag at home in Northern California, carrying it from room to room, and another in her car. The trend has quickly spread on social media, part of a bigger shift to unplug. Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025 -- up over 330% from the same period last year, according to TikTok data shared with Axios.

"It speaks to an incredible desperation and desire for experiences that return our attention to us, that fight brain-rotting, that are tactile ... that involve creating over scrolling," says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.

One in six laboratory-confirmed bacteria tested in 2023 proved resistant to antibiotic treatment, according to the World Health Organization. All were related to various common diseases.

The proliferation of difficult-to-treat bacterial diseases represents a growing threat, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance Report. The report reveals that, between 2018 and 2023, antibiotic resistance increased by more than 40 percent in monitored pathogen-drug combinations, with an average annual increase of 5-15 percent.

An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

New research coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC has found that AI assistants -- already a daily information gateway for millions of people -- routinely misrepresent news content no matter which language, territory, or AI platform is tested. The intensive international study of unprecedented scope and scale was launched at the EBU News Assembly, in Naples. Involving 22 public service media (PSM) organizations in 18 countries working in 14 languages, it identified multiple systemic issues across four leading AI tools. Professional journalists from participating PSM evaluated more than 3,000 responses from ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity against key criteria, including accuracy, sourcing, distinguishing opinion from fact, and providing context.

Key findings:

• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems - missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC's results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

Was watching an old episode of Mama's Family the other day and this was mentioned. I had no idea what it was, so I landed here. Probably gonna give this a try sometime this week because it looks amazing. I also don't see casseroles very often anymore.

Solved. Thank you @sandbo00@feddit.org . It's an MHF4 connector. Will leave the post up for future people with the same question.

I've been playing around with an Orange Pi Zero 2W the last week. When I finally got the point of putting a case together, I was going to replace the little whip with a U.FL->SMA cable for an external antenna. However, the U.FL connector is too large for this.

This connector is the same form factor as U.FL but about half the size.

Is micro U.FL a thing? My Google-fu is failing me, the acronym stew is thick here, and I'd really like to wrap up this project with a nice external antenna. OrangePi hasn't been helpful - they just call it "Wifi + BT Antenna connector" like that explains it all lol

You give it a weigh, give it a weigh, give it a weigh now.

The DVD screensaver was perfect: unobtrusive and did what it was supposed to do: prevent your CRT screen from burning-in an image. On top of that, it gave you something to look forward to when it would perfectly hit a corner (which some people thought was a myth; sadly the GIF version does not).

Now, any screen in your home is fair game for intrusive ads. Why make something simple, elegant, functional, and unobtrusive when that otherwise idle (or even in-use!) screen can be crammed with ads.
