  My parents always gave me cooking pots. Small to medium sized ones with two handles are easy to grab and easy to clean. If you need to “use” it repeatedly, you can just put boiling water in it in between uses

  You could choose between chat and chat + stream ban before, why would you want a stream only ban?

  I bought server drives because the price/TB was lower, and I want to give you just one hint: Server drives tend to be very loud

  I mean, at least you will have the brainrot without profiling, censorship and potentially clients that make it easier to get off the brainrot

  It’s configurable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mastodon age verification⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be totally down for some trustworthy and transparent verification service that does not store or hand out your data. Since pretty much everyone will need to verify for whatever at some point, I think this would be awesome to have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The last couple updates made it better, but I wouldn’t exactly call Element a smooth experience. For example it recently began to try and access a keyring that doesn’t exist, ignoring the one that I already have readily available, and that works for everything else.

  This is the latest in a long series of frustrating experiences with Matrix in general. To this day, Element isn’t stable, and Element X is somehow worse. It is, imo, a very promising option, but it is also far from perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re past that point as well. 4k @ 240 Hz is so good, most people won’t be able to tell the difference to an 8k, 480 Hz monitor. Even if they pay special attention to it. Probably not even in A/B testing.

  There is still room for improvement in the area of HDR, but monitors are almost as good as they will ever get.

  What kind of inconviniences? I have experienced literally none - except you may need to enable DRM. That’s one then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI controls is coming to Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is still NoScript, which is arguably much better than that, since it offers more granular control

  I would stay at home for an okay income and kids, although, as an IT guy, I could probably still work from home part time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is also important to note that the bible was curated (and probably even edited) by the Catholic Church in the past. So what you read is basically only what they wanted you to read to begin with. I would really like to get into the apocrypha at some point - especially into alternative descriptions to the biblical canon

  I skip articles where the headline contains "slams’ at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Praise where praise is due: They did pump out a ton of free updates. Does this compensate for the terrible state the game was released in? That’s something everyone needs to judge for themselves imo.

  Does the game have what they once promised now? Is it “good” yet? I think that’s a more difficult question. If I was to criticise Hello Games for anything, than that even now they have not met some of the expectations they set. At least not for me personally.

  And I’m not talking about bs speculation or hype, I am talking about things they have said would be in the game, some of which are still not here, and many of them feel like an alpha version of what you would expect. I can’t help but feel disappointed even today.

  They can speak, they just act like they can’t in front of foreigners. I am learning “Dutch” and am 100% convinced this whole language is a hoax
