Mayo and mustard are definitely what came to mind for me. And if the two, mayo is far more useful. Sandwiches of every kind, it's the base for numerous spreads and dips, and it even goes great on stuff like sushi. You can mix it with so many things to make unique and interesting sauces. Eg, I use chipolte and garlic mayo for many sandwiches I make (and sandwich like things such as wraps). Sriracha mayo is a classic in sushi. It's usually the basis of a good fry sauce.
There's some games where audio can be utterly amazing and completely make the game for me. Persona 4 and 5 are both like this. The music is so iconic that it's the extremely rare case of me actually remembering video game music. I almost never do that. I'm not saying I don't enjoy game music, but most of it just isn't memorable to me and I will never be able to recognize it if you played it to me and asked me where it's from.
Beyond music, voice acting is the other big one for me. But I don't usually have concerns with the voices themselves. It's the animations that I constantly dislike. I swear, 95% of games suck at matching lips to audio. It constantly just feels wrong.
As for sound effects, I don't notice them much. But on the topic of audio, I really hate when games depend on audio or even worse, positional audio. I'm hearing impaired and have a cochlear implant. I basically only hear in one ear. I don't have directional audio. And I'm not good at detecting small changes in sound, so I can't easily do stuff like locate the source of a sound. If a sound is loud and distinctive, I'm fine with sound indicators, but if it's a quiet or subtle sound, I can miss such indicators. Of course, there's also other people who have it worse, so game devs should avoid making sound a dependency to do things.
I wonder what's the reason for the change? The article just mentions vaguely about the EU tightening border security. But is border security from Canada really a concern? Or did we just get swept up in a larger change?
I'm personally of the opinion we should be going the opposite direction. It should be easier to visit, work, and immigrate/emigrate to and from similar countries.
Yeah, it's gonna really suck for some people who forget to do this well ahead of time. They'll have to cancel vacations or the likes. Most trips, you currently just bring your passport with you and that's really it. Nothing to apply to ahead of time.
Hopefully it's something that airlines will make part of purchasing tickets, so that you can't forget it. But it seems like this means you basically can't do last minute trips anymore. If you possibly could have a need to travel to the EU on short notice (eg, you have family there), you probably need to just keep this permit valid all the time. It would really suck to not be able to visit a dying family member because the permit could take weeks.
Mega threads should be per event though. Eg, "Trump gets convicted" would be a mega thread. You wouldn't have an "everything Trump related" mega thread.
IMO the important thing is removing duplicates and pushing people to post to the most relevant communities (and for us regular users, only upvoting the post in the most relevant community). As well, Lemmy itself needs better means of combining the same post across many communities.
When I say removing duplicates, I also mean for a given event, not a literal duplicate link. We don't need 5 posts from different media sites on the same event unless a new one is significantly different.
That's the issue I've been noticing a lot. Every major news site wants to post their own opinion piece on how dumb Musk is (can't blame em) and it feels like every single one of those will get posted to some Lemmy community.
Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I'm both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don't want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.
I actually just watched a really well done YouTube video by Some More News last night about this very topic. Their ultimate conclusion is mostly the same and they show how it has changed so much in recent years and include various examples (as well as examples of how liberal humor differs).
Robots need calories too (just they usually eat "food" like batteries or gasoline)! Clearly they are a ghost. Or a Walking Dead zombie. Those things defied physics.
I'm not sure if it's even just as easy as "use Firefox" like the original comment implies. For your web browser, sure. But presumably these root certs are used by all apps. And thus many apps that depend on the internet would break (most wouldn't do what Firefox does and being your own root CA certs).
And quite frankly, a significant number of Texans. Those people in Texas's government are only in the government because a massive chunk of people voted them in, and then another massive chunk said "I don't care lol".
Let's be honest, PGP has major usability issues. I mean, a standard that just tells you to "figure it out" with regards to key exchange? And while I'm sure there's plenty of people who've tried to make central services to handle the key exchange part, none have actually gotten any significant usage or seemingly even agreement.
I don't think it would much reduce spam, though. If you use email in a closed environment of sorts, you already can reject email from people you don't know. If they use trusted email providers and you require SPF and DKIM (as most modern webmail does), spoofing isn't really a concern, at least not if you have an allowlist of senders. And if you're not in a closed environment, presumably you'd have to share your public key very widely, making it accessible to spammers too.
That reason is wages not keeping up with inflation. Eg, if the US min wage kept up with inflation, it'd be something like $25/h (vs $7.25 federally today). I think you'd be able to afford an extra buck a month for music if you got paid that much more. And that's just inflation. Don't look up tying it to productivity cause that'll just be sad.
The specific term, for anyone wondering (or who may be facing this) is "constructive dismissal". If your employer significantly changes the terms of employment (hours, location, job duties, etc) to make you quit, it is legally viewed similar to firing.
Don't forget banning excess eating, red meat, sugar, and staying up too late. Let us work together to create our utopia of perfect, boring humans who are peak physical specimen, exactly the way we want them to be.
I'm personally all for banning smoking in public places (besides designated areas and specialty clubs). I agree that exposing people to secondhand smoke is rude at best and a health risk for them at worst. But I do think that especially in the comfort of your own home, you can do what you want (with the caveat that if vaping has similar odor issues as smoking, I see it entirely reasonable that renters can be required to smoke outside).
How are cult classics like that scored so low by audience score? Critiques I can understand cause being elitist is like their whole schtick. But audiences at least have self selection to filter to people who like the idea in the first place.
Incidentally, I always felt that films need two kinds of ratings. One for people who view the movie as "their kind of movie" and one for people who don't. Because it's completely meaningless to me if, say, my grandma doesn't like the new Marvel movie. That's not her thing. I wanna know what people who like other Marvel movies think!
