Our stovetop is having issues and I’d had a similar thought, so I’m hanging out to hear people’s reckons on this too!

This statement is an interesting one - we absolutely need to be pushing large companies to reduce their emissions, because they have a huge ge impact. But you’re on the money here - here’s a really good write up about it, but that stat includes “use of sold product” in its emissions - aka us using those companies’ products. We’ve got a huge part to play here - climate action requires both pushing for corporate responsibility as well as individual changes.

I think this is what I came here to say, too! Bags of MSG are soooo cheap, I have a tiny jar of it next to my oven and it’s so satisfying and so much fun to taste what you’re cooking before and after adding a sprinkle of MSG. Amazing difference!

I’ve learnt to add umami in lots of other ways, but for some recipes, msg really is a good hit.

Butterflied roast chicken was the single recipe from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat that really nailed home so many of the lessons for me - especially about seasoning your meat overnight! Amazing what a difference it makes - one of my fave easy cooks now!

I think it’s less to do with the traits themselves and more to do with the person and how they’re perceived. As other people have said - people get more of a significant impact from role models they can identify with or look like them. There’s so much room for role models of all types, but if we’re thinking about masculinity specifically, so many young men and boys only have masculine folk in their lives who, for example, don’t share their emotions - and this pattern affirms the idea that it’s not ‘manly’ to be vulnerable.

More people who express themselves in a ‘masculine’ way modeling these positive traits show other people with similar identities and expressions that it’s possible (and good) for them to do it, too.

I currently use nextjs and prismic for my CMS - while there are some nextjs themes and starters, it’ll probably require some coding (which I enjoy!). A benefit of next is that it has incremental static regeneration, so can update pages without having to rebuild the whole site.

I’ve also used Sanity on pretty much every other site I’ve built and it’s fantastic!

I’m looking at rebuilding my blog from scratch at the moment - I kind of have a whole different purpose for it now. I’m looking at Astro instead of Next, and thinking about TinaCMS over sanity - partly to try something new, partly because the speed and simplicity of Astro with a visual builder writing markdown is exciting to me!

Absolutely try some function key combos - I did something similar this week by setting my keyboard to “ma” and not “mao” this week and got an Arabic script instead of te reo Māori and all of a sudden none of my keybinds worked, but hitting fn+alt+f2 got me to a tty and saved me.

I’ve been using it for the last week and really enjoy it - I’m on an m1 air and asahi is so much snappier than macOS, which is saying something because it still sings!

There’s a few key hardware features still missing - mic, speaker, and the thunderbolt port (so hdmi and external displays) that are preventing me from driving it fully because I do a lot of presentations at work, but it’s quick enough to boot into mac when I need to.

Occasionally there’s something that doesn’t want to run on arm architecture, but there’s usually an alternative - and it sounds like 4k paging is close.

Give it a shot! I’m invested cos I wanna hear more people’s take on it 😅

Oh yeah that’s a good idea actually - I use fastmail too and I don’t mind its UI, but I guess I could also play with its css to make some changes!

This is great, thank you - I’ve been leaning towards mutt or neomutt, but this looks like a great solution!

Oh, thank you! I’m glad you found it useful - I did too.

I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!

Multiple shortcuts, I imagine - the one in this screenshot looks like “dg” to search DuckDuckGo.

This is incredible - I love this style! Really thought it was a photo at first. It’s got such a nice depth to it - nice work!

Congrats! This must be so exciting - I’m excited for you! Housing in NZ is wild at the moment and I’m thinking so much about our living situation and where we might be headed - I’m so keen to get away from the instability of renting, but also to travel, and our housing market is totally inaccessible, so I’ll be watching along with interest!

I loooove making lasagna and thought mine was good, but I’m so excited to try this bolognese sauce recipe! I use Samin Nosrat’s pomarolla sauce which is pretty great, too.

This is such a strange read - the article starts by talking about how Gen Z are prioritising wellbeing over wealth (true and so important to talk about) but then just totally rags on them for having no motivation and ‘delusional’ thinking? It touches so briefly on how the norms and expectations previous generations had are now absolutely inaccessible for so many, then criticises them for ‘manifestation’ and not just trying?

This is so worth talking about but I think a much more useful and interesting analysis would be looking at why manifestation is on the rise, and why so much focus is on wellbeing over wealth - and how exactly traditional goals like home ownership and retirement became so out of reach. But that would require more than just name-dropping late stage capitalism and actually acknowledging its failures though, huh?
