My mom has been squatting in my apartment for a year and a half. I'm really looking forward to having my own space again. Neither of us chose this and it's clearly affecting us mentally.
That's a giant asterisk. My mom regularly oversalts her soup and I wish she didn't. Some restaurants (especially fancy restaurants) salt their food so much it's borderline inedible. There's no good reason for them to do that. Arrogance perhaps.
Even my own tastes in salt vary greatly from day to day. So I wouldn't even trust myself with getting the salt amount right for myself if I cooked for myself alone. As soon as any other human is implied, it just gets riskier.
Those suspended magnetic mouse wheels could be different in that way. How could I tell for sure? Without disassembling the mouse and almost certainly breaking it in the process because I'm extremely incompetent with my hands, I mean.
A lot of people are against it because they see it as the first step towards evil, but I still think we should have some sort of recommendation algorithm. New content discovery on Lemmy is way too manual for normies like me.
The sign-up process should be streamlined. It's really intimidating to have to choose an instance when you don't even understand what the heck that is. And then there's the manual account validation. I'm not sure what the solution is but we might want to find one.
And we need to do something about the extremists. They have a right to exist, but the abnormally high prevalence of American-coded communist/anarcho-communist content that just casually talks about executing the rich and the like is weird and intimidating even to me, a decidedly left-wing person. Americans, who are famously doubtful of communism, probably run away from the platform seeing that. And as for non-Americans... Well the proportion of content that's specifically about American politics is even higher than on Reddit, which is saying something.

And yet, I wouldn't go that far.
Is he trying to radicalize people? Damn, that's just comic book evil.

I meant even I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo. DDG asks you about whether and how often you want AI answers
Oh my god. They're serious.
I caved and switched when Google started giving me a full large chat window (not even just a small AI overview) by default when I ran a search.
Honestly I've tried salting a few times and for the little difference it makes... I don't feel it's worth the trouble.
But thanks for the info, I honestly hadn't thought about the details.
I can just salt it in my plate. Feels wasteful to put a ton of salt in the water and dump 99% of the salt in the sink anyway.
Plus, sometimes, I just feel like keeping it unsalted entirely. Depends on the sauce etc. You taste the subtle sweetness of the noodles more that way.
Just use whole wheat pasta.
Stir literally once. No salt, no oil, no additional stirring.
What. Why. That makes no sense.
There's no way in hell we have the resolution to see continents in another star system.
Linux is the most widely used OS in the world, if you include servers.
If servers' OSes can't be legally used in California anymore, that would be funny.
Linux distributions should react by asking users to confirm they're not in California. They'll backpedal fast.
He's only 66?! Damn, he looks 80.

Instructions unclear. Threw handful of basil at wall.
What kind of nonstick coating? Surely not Teflon?
Well there's a focus on American events, American billionaires, and the distinctly American flavour of extreme policing

Huh. Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try the next time I play.
