    There's also Megablocks, the precursor to Duplo. And there are also Micro Megablocks, the same size as LEGO. The kits for Micro Megablocks were much better than the LEGO kits, making slightly larger models but using only standard bricks. The LEGO models were smaller, depending on many custom pieces specific to the kit, which were pretty useless for general brick construction.

    Not only are Duplo blocks *like* Lego blocks, they *are* Lego blocks, and I don't just mean that Duplo is a Lego brand and produced in the same factory, the two systems are actually compatible.

    A Lego 2x2 block fits and sticks to the underside of a Duplo block, and the nob on the top of a Duplo block fits with the pillar in the middle under a Lego 2x2 block.

    That's the reason the Duplo nobs are hollowed-out circles rather than the filled-in circles Lego blocks have! And it's why Duplo undersides have little tabs along the inner edge -- they're not necessary for fitting with Duplo nobs, but they're essential for grabbing Lego nobs!

    happy original software freedom day!
    on this day, 37 years ago, Richard Stallman launched the Free Software Movement, and the GNU Project, to build a user-freedom-respecting operating system, so that all users could do their computing in freedom

    In the Netherlands (which the Dutch call "Nederland") the language is called "Nederlands", so that makes sense. Perhaps English speakers couldn't differentiate between "Nederlands" and "Deutsch", which corrupted to "Dutch".

    And why do we call the country "Germany" and the inhabitants "Germans" when they call their country "Deutschland" and themselves "die Deutsche"?

    • F-Droid

    Disturbing reports that Google Play is threatening to kick out Mastodon apps. See:

    https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/104763960269049818

    App stores have a track record of acting capriciously & are also easy targets for gov't censors (including Trump). This is why alternatives like @fdroidorg are so important for user freedom.

    If unfamiliar: F-Droid is a free & open source app you can use to install other Android apps, with focus on free & open source software. Get it here:

    I do like the taste of onion bagels. When the other bagels in the bag acquire an onion flavour it's a poor experience at best, almost certainly leading to the purchase of a *real* onion bagel. #AOBFS #AcquiredOnionBagelFlavourSyndrome

    @bobjonkman @blacksam Would that still be true if you actually liked onion bagels?

    Asking because, although I don't eat bagels at all, it seems to me that you're probably unusually sensitive to the flavor of onion ... which would likely be the case if you disliked that flavor.

    If there is one onion bagel in a bag of bagels, they're *all* onion bagels...

    How come no matter what flavor bagel you buy from the bakery, it's always, to some extent, an onion bagel?
