I was referring to both to say you can get similar functionality on Sync, but Flipboard has its own charm.
- Comment on Americans' refusal to keep paying higher prices may be dealing a final blow to US inflation spike 2 months ago:
*Maybe in Texas regarding insurance being more than transit. When I lived there my car insurance was $160/no because of all the uninsured, dangerous drivers. And by those I mean Americans to be clear. I moved north and I’m laying $55/no for insurance…
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 2 months ago:
It’s fancy. Sync for Lemmy really lets you customize things, but I do like the default flip actions, font sizes, layout. You can make custom groupings of content you want to view. I forget what the branded term is, but it’s like you can make your own magazine and flip through it.

- Comment on what's your fav recipe manager? 6 months ago:
Supercook for recipes with filters and based on ingredients you have on hand.
Really helpful. I tried probably 6 apps a year ago, including Paprika, and nothing came close. Voice to text for adding ingredients is awesome when you come back from the grocery store.
When looking for recipes, you can spice things up by filtering for recipes where you’re only missing one, two, or three ingredients too, which really opens things up.
This past week, it suggested some amazing dishes I hadn’t tried before. One was a tofu dish with 6 cloves of garlic with skin on, onions, red pepper flakes, lime, and super firm tofu. Delicious over basmati rice.
The other was a pecan streusel coffee cake. Didn’t even know I had ingredients to make this. Freaking delicious.
The recipes pull from across the Internet and they do a great job removing the fluff to show you just the recipe, but if their coding messes up you can always go directly to the recipe source too.
You can favorite recipes of course too.
Finally you can start a shopping list there too. So let’s say you’re browsing for some new recipes and you have that filter on for “missing 1 ingredient”. Simply add it to your shopping list along with whatever else you need. If you are diligent about updating your pantry in the app as you use up ingredients, you can also just review all food you have and use the app to keep building your shopping list for the rest of your normal supermarket trips.
It’s an all around great app and totally free without ads. I assume they sell your pantry data and grocery list data to stay afloat. Which… I really don’t care about.

But can it do things like dig trenches and remove small to medium sized plant roots? I got some jobs I need help with and this is like 1/6th the cost of quotes I received.

It’s easy and it started with that.
- Comment on Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV 8 months ago:
Google is not the ads industry. Google is a small part of it. I know ad sellers that partner with Google and 60 other data brokers to know when you’re taking a shit.
- Comment on Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV 8 months ago:
Cookies don’t even matter for advertising anymore. They don’t need them. You leave breadcrumbs everywhere. Literally where you are, your wifi connection, browser used, browser build, device used, screen size, Google account logged into a browser, just to name a few. They string all this stuff together over days, weeks, years… you’ll slip up at some point no matter how diligent you are with something big, like that Google account login, a share from social media… there’s so much more lol
- Comment on Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV 8 months ago:
Some advertisers know their market and pinpoint, others just drag net to see what sticks. You’re getting the equivalent of cold calling for ads. If you show interest in something even once, you’re a target.
- Comment on Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV 8 months ago:
I dabble in marketing for my company. Let me just say advertisers don’t need a damn cookie to know who you are to serve you ads. Even across multiple devices. There are so many methods… literally over a dozen when cross referenced tells companies exactly who you are, even on vpn, even incognito.

- Comment on DocuSign to lay off 6% of workforce, or about 440 jobs 8 months ago:
They wanted $30k for like 6k envelopes a year for my company. With Conga Sign, it was less than $5k for UNLIMITED. They didn’t adjust pricing with competition. They need to shrink or go extinct.
- Comment on How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea? 9 months ago:
I can tell you from experience. You definitely can’t, but I can start and run an online e-commerce business by myself to give you a shoestring budget.
So that being said, if using Shopify for ecommerce, Adobe for creative, paying for your domain name with Namecheap, and registering your business with your local government, it costs me about $220/mo to run an ecomm business by myself.
Realistically, you could use open source replacements for Adobe products too, but I like their stock imagery as well. Take that out, and you’re at about $120/mo plus processing fees for each transaction.
If you don’t need an e-commerce site, you can use something like light speed for a free website. Even WordPress. Add free social media for a boost.
So now this means you’re down to only $20/mo if not using an e-commerce site.
You can learn everything you need to run these sites between dev docs, support articles, forums, blogs, and YouTube videos. All free.

Yep. My sub expired recently and I didn’t renew. Inflated bs. Now I’ll just cycle streaming services. So dumb. Doing the same with Disney and their awful pricing.
