How many of you microwave water for tea?

  • Does the staple cause any issues?

    • Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain.

  • Why?

    • Just.....why?

  • It doesn't need it, it works totally fine without it.

    (Also, FWIW, the toothbrush itself connects via Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi)

    • At least it works

  • OOPs

    • Absolutely Legend

  • I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I'm really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

    The cost has been ~$20 so far (I'm still tinkering with it).

    ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw

    Edit 2: I asked it "how might I streamline my deployments a little?" It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

    The script didn't work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked "what went wrong here?" It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

    I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I've had so far

    • look left and right before going over the street

  • Wow, I can't believe I almost forgot about netbooks

    • Google Drive alternative?

    Jump

  • Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don't remember any of them 🙃

    Though, I don't really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.

  • I've been trying Peergos lately, and I'm pretty happy with it so far.

    Google's nagging offers for free trials of Gemini made me realize that I was basically handing data over to an AI company 🤦🏻‍♂️ So I've been looking for an alternative too

  • I started to go down that path, but then I heard that there were problems with data corruption

    • Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

    Jump

  • I learned a bit of Esperanto, many years ago. It's crazy how easy it is to progress in that language, compared to natural languages.

    • Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

    Jump

  • I've been learning Portuguese (Brazilian) off and on for a while. I'm mostly okay-ish at reading it, but it's nearly impossible for me to understand it when spoken.

    Jump

  • This might be a weird question, but: Did you have a particular reason to learn Swedish or Norwegian, or is it just for fun?

    I've been interested in learning Swedish or Danish, but I haven't been able to find a practical reason to. I hear that almost all of them speak English pretty well, and will prefer speaking English with you if you visit their country. (The curse of being a native English speaker who likes languages.)

    I would have had easy access to a native Danish speaker, but sadly, my Mormor ("mother's mother") passed away just last night. Her English was perfect as she lived in the US for >70 years, but her beautiful accent is what originally sparked my interest in Scandinavian languages.

    • Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans

  • Have you ever considered not being like this?

    • Any other baristas on here?

    Jump

  • Yep, that's the main problem: I live alone, and only drink 1-2 cups a day.

    I could try practicing with like soapy water or something (I think I've seen that in a YouTube video at some point), but honestly, I'm just not motivated enough for that kind of effort. For me, my coffee looks pretty enough with my "abstract art" 😅

    • Any other baristas on here?

    Jump

  • Not professionally, but I got way into learning about coffee during the pandemic. I now have an awesome espresso machine.

    I'm horrible at latte art though

    • It's only a class war when we fight back

    Jump

  • Huh, yeah that is kinda weird. 🤔 If most cops and politicians are trying to kill most people, then there should be a lot of self-defense pleas flooding the courts...

    I'm just an internet comment though, not a lawyer or whatever

    • You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning

    Jump

  • You guys are really making me consider GrapheneOS.

  • Did you find a Google Drive alternative? I'm strongly considering Peergos, but still kinda shopping around.

    • How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • Doesn't that apply to pretty much all platforms though?

    • How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • I mostly browse Lemmy, but I occasionally check Reddit. I never really got into the microblogging types of platforms (Mastodon, X, Bluesky, Threads, etc) for some reason
