Formerly u/CanadaPlus101 on Reddit.
This whole thread seems like a paranoid psychosis symptom. Because you stopped your meds, you’re no longer feeling well. You just can’t tell.
I may or may not know “the business of psychiatry”, but your psychiatrists definitely do. So do mine. I’m not trying to be mean, here, either.
Users in general, or active users? Reddit probably has tens of billions of inactive accounts.
If it is active users, and Lemmy-Piefed is suddenly growing, that’s great, though.
A few years back, that really felt like where things were going. Now, everything’s coming apart; you can’t really have a quiet sleepwalk into the great benevolent authority watching everything, when it’s not clear which authority that would be.
Loud shifts into surveillance are possible, like sometimes happen after a new regime is established, but that’s a different beast. People will kinda know it’s fucked, even if they go along with it.
No, you should take your pills. Those aren’t the kind of pills you stop taking when you’re better.
Much, much less. Reddit has some fraction of a billion active users, going by it’s status as one of the big world platforms, while we have some fraction of 10,000, so more like 0.001%.
Yeah, it seems likely that even if a longhouse had one big kitchen where the whole clan prepared their maize, the skills to run it would have been fairly evenly distributed. Maybe in only one gender, or even a subset of one gender, but if there’s 200 of you and you’re always together, not much will be secret. Ditto for a bunch of peasants on one manor in Europe.
You should really have a way to change up the texture, as well. Even if spaghetti, a pizza, lasagna and shakshuka are all starch and tomatoes, they feel different.
Since I see a few people just posting their favourite websites, I’ve gotten some good vegetarian stuff off Cookie and Kate.
Eh. We’re more like bugs than we like to pretend.
You know, you don’t have to be a chef, but some vegetables wouldn’t hurt. They don’t even have to be fresh.
Not a gourmet 12 course meal. Just cook simply to feed yourself. This is a basic skill.
It’s a massive distinction that nobody explained to me when I was a kid, too. 10% of the effort gets you 90% of the result. The gourmet shit, where you hunt for a million weird heirloom ingredients, is mostly a flex.
Stopped scrolling for Budget Bytes. Awesome website!
my parents cooking consisted of 1) BBQ a piece of meat until it’s real dry and 2) microwave a can of veggies.
Yeah, come to think of it, old white people are the real offenders, there. Good food existed both before and during their time; it’s not that they didn’t have the chance.
That being said, canned veggies are an underrated ingredient.
What kind of cooking isn’t prep+assembly+processing, in some order?
I really wish cheap public cafeterias were more of a thing. We don’t spin our own clothes, or weave our own baskets anymore…
The first few zoomers I think of cook just fine. Although, there’s one that undercooks everything, because she’s impatient. A couple are actual foodies who will put serious effort in.
What exact age group are you thinking of? Teenagers haven’t really had much time to learn.
Yep. A lot of stuff was Windows-only on Steam, and from what I’ve heard, some of the Linux versions were iffy.
Neat!
The slow march of FOSS continues.
It’s a monokernel that was already outdated when written, and has basically been hacked to do modern things. When Linus retires, maintaining it is going to get difficult.
Systemd is really common, but not ideal. I’m running it now, and it works fine. But, for how long? The Unix philosophy exists for a reason!
That being said, what you’re talking about exists on Linux. You don’t have to use packages or package managers. If you have a bespoke, personal system to keep track of the versions and dependencies, the kernel and other low-level components (cue the “if I can interject” meme) can run your pile of naked executables just fine.
The same thing goes for BSD, and GNU Mach once it’s ready to “daily drive”. And, yes, there are GUI settings managers, although they vary.
Oh yeah, how is Wine gaming going? It was meh like a year or two ago.
Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the details.
Wonderful! Glad to hear it. The last thing I heard was just the slow shrinking.
It can’t really go wrong, since it’s an open standard. Slow, steady growth will get us there eventually. Or intermittent growth.
Boo!
