Sure, but that’s a backhoe used on a shovel problem.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.

Hah, yikes. Kombucha wants oxygen anyway. Just cover it with a paper towel or coffee filter or something.
- Comment on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency 3 months ago:
It goes to show that people are complex, and contain multitudes. Cherrypicking isn’t a bad thing. The older I get, the harder I find it to get along with strangers, because I’ll have some point of contention with them. :/

I can’t speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(

You can share lemmy posts on mastodon but not the other way around, I think.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 3 months ago:
Linux has had a long history of worms and viruses, fortunately (sorta) thanks to its server legacy. Dumb and lazy server admins have given it pretty good ‘secure by default’ behaviours and cultures.
Desktop users though: while different set of challenges.

Among my friends it’s more like 30%

Huh, this is the exact design of some of the bathrooms at SFU. I wonder if it’s fairly common?
- Comment on Air Canada's chatbot gave a B.C. man the wrong information. Now, the airline has to pay for the mistake 4 months ago:
My only complaint here is that the judgement should have had way more punitive fines. A simple refund was not enough compensation for the horseshit they put him through, and is in no way enough motivation to stop the practice of providing misinformation.

Nebula is a creator run coop, I believe. I’m happy to pay for that, and do.

I have crowdsec on a bunch of servers. It’s great and I love that I’m feeding my data to the swarm.

“Biodiversity net gain” snort. That’s the kind of person who pays down the credit card $100 and decides that a $20 impulse purchase is fine.

Nah. A little butter and brown sugar and cinnamon, it’s basically rice pudding.

Raw egg cracked in and beaten to temper and cook in piping hot rice. A little soy sauce. Maybe some sesame seeds.

- Comment on 1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please. 6 months ago:
Of course not, I’m not saying anyone’s lazy. I would encourage people to learn how to do it, though! It’s one of those things that is surprisingly easy and can save you some cash and fridge space.
You’re not always going to be cooking a million other things. Sometimes you’re just pulling cheesecake out of the freezer, and at that point a quick whipped cream batch is nbd.
- Comment on 1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please. 7 months ago:
I was counting that. And buying heavy cream is something I would usually do anyway. Buying the prewhipped stuff takes no less effort than buying a carton.
It would definitely depend on your comfort level.
- Comment on 1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please. 7 months ago:
Sure, but it’s only a bowl and a whisk. I just rinse them, too.
I guess everyone has things they find super easy and this is one of mine.
- Comment on 1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please. 7 months ago:
I never understood premade whipped cream. It takes two minutes to make. Cream, bowl, a little liqueur, tiny bit of salt, then go to town. Use a mixer if you need one, a hand beater isn’t expensive.

In fairness if you have basically unlimited thrust, maintaining a forced orbital position would be pretty cheap, you could hover as close as you want.
