I am from a country formerly colonised by the British, one famous for tea. I have found that the best way to annoy British people is to casually drop a teabag in a mug of cold water and stick it in the microwave. I don't even like tea. I do it just for the trolling entertainment.
@fesshole that’s an excellent way of having a cup of scalding water explode in your hand when you take it out of the microwave.

@fesshole I think you'll find the British have more important things to care about right now. Such as the communist atrocity being inflicted by the present government.

@humeanbeing I've been looking very carefully for any “communist atrocity” since Labour's general election win and I haven't seen one yet. What did I miss?

@fesshole so you’re American. Well, commiserations, old chap.

Do you know how little that narrows it down? (Four or five countries, depending on who do you ask) -

@BonehouseWasps @satsuma @fesshole I expect it helps. I know instant coffee powder causes a fine foam to appear when microwaved in water. (We have many ways to make coffee in this house, but when my wife has leftover coffee in the flask from the day before, we will pour it into cups, add a dash of instant coffee powder, microwave then top up with boiling water. We're not coffee snobs, and this is a good way to avoid wasting the leftovers.)

@fesshole I'm not even British and this just upset me!

Brit: yes.
Tea Drinker: no.
Number of f1cks given over this: zero.
If it amuses you: do it.
Seems like a waste of resources, but so are many forms of entertainment and we all need that at the moment.
Try again. -

@fesshole@mastodon.social lmao
frankly a lot of british tea culture seems very superficial and pretentious
people need to stop being snobs about heating up water for tea in the microwave, it's a perfectly fine way to get a single cup of tea
heating a mug of water in my microwave for 90 seconds brings it up to 180F/82C, a good temperature for most teas -

@fesshole I came here to witness the multitude of responses from “aghast” to snark. The #fediverse does not disappoint.

@fesshole Hey, I did that during my college days...Lucky the microwave didn't break, what with those metal staples...

@fesshole and sadly they are wrong, and should microwave their own tea

@fesshole that sounds decidedly gross. At that point, why not use dishwater?

Courtney Marie Andrews – Valentine (2026)
Fin dalla prima nota, la voce di Courtney è ciò che ti cattura: intima, limpida ed emotivamente precisa. Gli arrangiamenti di Valentine privilegiano trame acustiche e raffinate sfumature elettroniche; nulla è troppo elaborato, e questa sobrietà lascia respirare le canzoni. Questo non è un disco da festa. È un album da camera da letto, da ascoltare a tarda notte – tranquillo, intr... https://artesuono.blogspot.com/2026/01/courtney-marie-andrews-valentine-2026.html

MicroPythonOS graphical operating system delivers Android-like user experience on microcontrollers
Yesterday, I wrote about Ariel OS RTOS for microcontrollers written in Rust, but there’s another interesting open-source operating system for microcontrollers that will be covered at FOSDEM 2026: MicroPythonOS. While Ariel OS is designed for secure, memory-safe, networked IoT applications on microcontrollers, MicroPythonOS targets applications with graphical user interfac…

@kim @karlauerbach I'll note that Perl mostly isn't that way. It is backward compatible to an absurd degree. I can't explain why that isn't a feature many people consider valuable enough to choose it over Python (I do, but don't have a choice at work). But I'm excited to be able to use Go for most of my new code, including at work, and it also largely avoids the problem (via a wildly different mechanism, but the end result is I can distribute my software to any Linux box and it Just Works).
