That's fair! I'm not trying to downplay the accomplishment at all. In that way even nuclear fission is really cool.

It was just a big dissilusionment moment for me way back when I learned how the electricity is actually generated.

Yeah, I mean it makes sense. My inner child wants there to be some sort of magic that splits the atomic nucleus (or in the case of fusion... well you know) and harnesses the energy through some sort of fancy magical-to-us-commonfolk process.

Kettles are great, but not whimsical or fantastic.

How would they use it to power a reactor? Is it like a regular nuclear reactor where you essentially boil water to power a steam turbine?

I swear a part of my inner child died the day I found out that nuclear reactors are essentially big kettles.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I’m not saying that obesity is good, but I also don’t think we can judge people for it. If someone is learning how to love themselves, who are we to stand in their way for it?

Maybe they need that self love to push them forward and lose that weight? Maybe not. Regardless I don’t think telling people how they should or shouldn’t dress will bring anyone any sort of good.

It’s that old saying “if you don’t have anything good to say, perhaps don’t say anything at all.”

The train always stops at the slutstation.

Oh cool! I was trying to find if there was a Tesseract community, and instead I found the creator! I'm loving the client!

Is it posisble to contribute to it? I have a few thoughts as a UX person.

We all have our own attractions, that's fine. However, people don't have to meet our standards of beauty to exist and take part in society.

Why would we need game emulators in music apps?

That's fair, I just kind of put up with the fact that they don't.

Haha, you remind me of a brief period in 2014-ish when I tried to use Linux on an AMD laptop. It was a complete nightmare, nothing even remotely similar to my current issues with SuSE Tumbleweed. Fans going haywire, backlight issues, overheating. Gosh.

I've heard good things about the System76 laptops, it's definitely enticing. Though I'm also interested in those modular Framework laptops, but they're not available in my country.

Yeah, Tesseract is fantastic. Though I'm sure you could use Alexandrite with .ml as well, provided the client and API versions are compatible. Tesseract has some additional discovery features and such too, I believe.

For all we know though, one might even be able to migrate from Lemmy to Sublink. Like I said, they could swap over from Lemmy and we might not even notice it. I don't really see the problem.

Yes! Teflon offgasses when heated up, and birds have extremely sensitive lungs. They die really fast from the gases.

You know the expression "canary in the coal mine", right? It's because caged canaries were used to detect methane or carbon monoxide. If the canary died, it's time to get the hell outta there.

This is a problem with self-cleaning ovens as well. So if you keep birds, avoid non-stick and don't use the self-cleaning function of the oven unless your bird is out of the house and in a well-ventilated spot because it's quite likely to kill it.

Yes but that requires someone else to do the work. If Sublinks takes off instead, why stick with Lemmy?

Anyway it’s all conjecture right now. We have lemmy, things are working just fine.

I don't get why you're being downvoted because these are in general good tips.

I assembled my PC myself, off the shelf parts of course (I don't really do electronics) but it's not a locked down SOC or anything like that. My first foray into Linux with it was a bit too early because the kernel on the OS I tried hadn't been updated to support my CPU. That was a bit of a headscratcher because the problems manifested in an interesting way.

It doesn't change the fact that setting things up with Linux is a lot of extra manual work, which at some point the benefits of doing it will outweigh the inconvenience of it, but I've not reached that point yet.

A dear friend of mine keeps birds, and she exclusively uses ceramic cookware. She swears by it, and honestly I get it.

I'd completely forgotten about carbon steel, but you're right!

It really isn't that big a pain if you know how to use them. Carbon steel is also a fantastic option.

Barely useful. Stainless steel and cast iron can achieve an almost equal non-stick effect, and handle much higher temperatures without toxic offgassing or stuff chipping off and ending up in the food.

Leaden flatware works too, but why use it when we have ceramic?

Teflon isn't necessarily even easier to use than cast iron or stainless steel, I think the main issue there is that the education around how to use cookwear is very poor. It's not just pop on the stove and go.

I’m fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don’t want to go to that trouble, just like people don’t want to learn to cook.

I'm kind of in that boat, it's not that I can't solve the issues; I've used Linux for years. I work as a software developer, my entire day is about solving problems, sometimes it's IT related, CI, dependency updates, build tools that cease working properly because of it, integration scripts, migrations, etc. and sometimes it's more of a workflow thing; how do I best implement a solution that gets a user from A to B in the smoothest way possible?

In that way I'm like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don't have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.

Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don’t want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There’s just too much I don’t like about the way it’s managed. Also, winsecure.

I can get behind this 100%, which is doubly funny because I make my money as a .NET developer. I work with various Microsoft platforms on a daily basis. As a developer the experience is honestly really comfy, they've done a good job there. Teams can fucking go die though. What a nightmare product.

I wish I felt this way. I installed SuSE Tumbleweed a while ago, and while I overall liked it, it was so finicky. My bluetooth ceased working after updating a bunch of stuff and I never got it working again. I feel like things are very rarely plug and play with Linux, something Windows has gotten pretty good at since, well at least XP.

Back when I used Linux as my daily driver, around 2007-2011 I was okay with that. Sure I had issues every so often, but I didn't mind spending time to solve them. Nowadays when I spend 8 hours in front of the computer for work, if I want to spend more time in front of the computer it's generally because I either want to enjoy a game, or experiment with music, what have you, and having things spontaneously crap out on me would drive me nuts.

Maybe SuSE Tumbleweed wasn't the right choice. My thinking there was; a rolling distro will always be up-to-date, no more big OS upgrades ever, I'll just set things up the way I like it and that's that.
