  Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

  The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper.

  Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

  The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

  Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

  “With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

  Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what’s really stupid about this

  Notepad existed for decades, resisting the general trend of Microsoft software, and it continued to do one thing, and do it well (for the purposes of this argument, let’s not get started on line endings)

  If someone wanted to do more than just view text files, there was wordpad, a stripped down word processor, that would have been the perfect application to add support for markdown to.

  Except they killed it, because enough people must have realised that the word processor bundled with the OS did everything they needed without having to pay Microsoft a subscription for Word.

  So now Microsoft is trying to turn notepad into the rudimentary word processor that people expect to come with their OS, destroying the thing that made it useful

  Reminder that 99% of think tanks are just organisations that pay for studies that help the owner’s ideological goals.

  Always look at the owner of the think tank and people involved and decide if it’s just propaganda before you listen to a word of reporting that originates with them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you all know these things can be pickled???⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code

  Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you all know these things can be pickled???⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment

  But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed

  If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There isn't a person on earth that doesn't look cooler with sunglasses on.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There definitely exceptions

  Gotta say those flippy top ones only look cool if you can pull off a full 80s beach holiday look with it. Those light reactive ones kinda end up giving history teacher vibes rather than cool vibes any time I’ve seen them. Oakley’s when not on a ski slope (and even then tbh) kinda makes the wearer look like an out of touch boomer.

  I’m not a big fan of those super thin 90s styles coming back in, but some people can definitely pull them off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, what a monumentally shit take from OP

  There are people out there losing family members, many of them forever, over politics

  There are millions of people who don’t feel safe leaving their house right now due to politics

  Millions more worried about straight up losing their house and everything they own over politics

  People worried about where their next meal is coming from

  People worried if they’re gonna be able to afford to continue to fucking live

  Others wondering if there’s even going to be much of a world left to live in

  Many people thinking about politics are doing so because they do not get a choice. No one wants to think about any of that, they’re being forced to by the reality unfolding around them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like you misunderstood me on purpose…

  Funnily enough I thought you were playing along with the bit, so I guess I misunderstood

  Figured “enlightened vim user” was a bit more of a giveaway than it apparently is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vim is hardly an IDE unless you have added a shitload of plugins (which is fine if you want to do that, arguably a plus to have the option)

  Notepad++ is way too bloated for a “simple notepad replacement” and often lacking when you need something more serious than that

  Although I guess vim never shipped with malware, so I guess it’s lacking in that particular notepad++ feature

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of this would have been easily avoided by its users if they had just listened to the enlightened and switched to vim

  I’d rather never turn my computer on again and run away to live in the woods than use notepad++

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people […] write […] comments […] and hope AI picks them up

  Really quite sad if there’s even one person out there doing that.

  This is also as much of a grift as any SEO that claims to have cracked the code of getting to the top of results. Even if they have figured something reproducible, it will get fixed. If someone can manipulate a search engine to provide results different to what it would otherwise do, that’s a bug they will fix
