I’m a white American, my diet is mostly classic american derived from french and Italian cuisine. My first vegetarian cookbooks were focused on slow cooking beans into soups, stews and chilis. I like effort, I have the time and I like to learn and have fun. I guess the biggest problem in my diet is I dont like cold foods, so interested in making salads warm, or room temperature with a warm sauce or dressing? I think I like savory flavors the most, and I’m a fan of bitter, too.
Many of these commanders had to work their way up the ranks too! They proved themselves in combat. This isnt always true, but many great commanders did.
This is horrifying, I didnt realize these animals are actually farmed and not trapped / hunted.
Materials and fabrics have some such a long way there is no need for fur in terms of density of warm material (winter coats) or for softness.
There are other uses for fur like makeup and shaving brushes, where fur is the best but for almost all users, plastic brushes will do a perfect job.
I would be really excited to see a day where even leather is replaced by a superior alternative, and I’m very curious about waxed canvas, and any other waterproofing that doesnt involve PTFE chemicals.
Omg. Are you right? I really highly prefer Quake Live, and the feel of it. I loved CS but stopped watching when the Saudis came in. Havent interacted much with Valorant, but I’m susceptible to arguments that it improves on CS in mapping, which of course CS is about to fix.
My main issue with esports is just the timing, I’m 26, I was excited about it when I was 16 - and it failed to take off in time. We had big tournaments but not the fundamental technological and design progress that I was hungry for. So I’m open to your opinion on many fronts.
Aaaaaaaaaa Yep. Its insanely buggy and to their credit the devs are working on the bugs. I find the opposite perspective more compelling: a game worth GOTY in its concept design and execution has launched just as buggy as any other title.
The libertarian left is not on cope. I am not coping. No really I have not left my room. There is no cope left for me, they are using the entire supply.
If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....
This is kinda horrifying to me but maybe like with open offices or whatever its not that much of a difference? Everyone can see each other all the time anyway?
On the other hand, there are 100% human-made voiceovers of this character and they are also awful. Just awful. But because its a human I have some respect for their creative efforts.
Mastodon has the responsibility to promote diversity in the Fediverse
I love the Threadiverse. Compared to the microblogging Fediverse’s sea of random thoughts, Lemmy and kbin are so much easier to navigate with the options to sort posts by subscribed, from local instances or everything federated. You can also sort by individual community, and then there are the countless ways to order the posts and comments (which are stored neatly under the main post, by the way). That people can more easily find the right discussions and see where they can contribute also means that the discussions tend to be more focused and productive than elsewhere. Decentralisation also makes a lot of sense, since it is built around different communities. All that’s needed is users.
Things were going quite well for a while when Reddit killed third-party apps, prompting many to leave and find the Threadiverse. However, it is quite difficult to entertain a crowd that has grown accustomed to a constant bombardment of dopamine-inducing or interesting content by tens of millions of users, if you only have a couple hundred thousand people. This is causing some to leave, which of course increases this effect. The active users have more than halved since July, according to FediDB. The mood is also becoming more tense. Maybe the lack of engagement drives some to cause it through hostility, I’m not quite sure. Either way, the Threadiverse becoming a less enjoyable place to be, which is quite sad considering how promising it is.
But what is really frustrating is that we could easily have that userbase. The entire Fediverse has over ten million users, and many Mastodonians clearly want to engage in group-based discussion, looking at Guppe groups. The focused discussions should also be quite attractive. Technically we are federated, so why do Mastodonians interact so little with the Threadiverse? The main reason is that Mastodon simply doesn’t federate post content. I really can’t see why the platform that federates entire Wordpress blogs refuses to federate thread content just because it has a title, and instead just replaces the body with a link to the post. Very unhelpful.
The same goes with PeerTube. There are plenty of videos on there that I am quite sure a lot of Mastodonians would appreciate, yet both views and likes there stay consistently in the tens. Yes, Mastodon’s web interface has a local video player, but in most clients it is the same link shenanigans, may may partly explain the small amount of engagement. This is also quite sad, because Google’s YouTube is one of the worst social network monopolies out there, if not the worst.
And I know some might say that Mastodon is a microblogging platform and that it makes sense only to have microblogging content, but the problem is that Mastodon is the dominant platform on the Fediverse, its users making up close to 80% of all Fedizens. It has gone so far that several Friendica and Hubzilla users have been complaining about complaints from Mastodonians that their posts do not live up to Mastodon customs, and of course, that people frequently use “Mastodon” to refer to the entire Fediverse. This, of course, goes entirely against the idea of the Fediverse, that many diverse platforms live in harmony with and awareness of each other.
The very least that Mastodon could do is to support the content of other platforms. Then I’d wish that they’d improve discoverability, by for instance adding a videos tab in the explore section, improving federation of favourites since it is the dominant sorting mechanism on many other platforms, and making a clear distinction between people (@person) and groups (!group), but I know that that is quite much to ask.
P.S. @feditips , @FediFollows , I know that you are reluctant to promote Lemmy and its communities because of the ideology of its founders, but the fact is firstly that it’s open source and there aren't any individual people who control the entire project, and that the software itself is very apolitical. In fact, most Lemmy users both oppose and are on instances that have rules against such beliefs, so I highly encourage you to at least help raise awareness on the communities. Then, of course, there’s kbin, which isn’t associated with any extremism at all. As a bonus, it has much better integration with the microblogging Fediverse, but it is a lot smaller and younger, and still very much under development.
Anyways, that was a ramble. Thanks for hearing me out.
I find mastodon boring and I just think people who wanna use defederated twitter are different and more common than people who wanna use defederated reddit. Peertube though, now that is a compelling argument.
