Very nice presentation!

It’s one of my favorite breakfasts too, at least as far as the ingredients go

I like potatoes to be a bit starchier and stickier than fried so I cut them into bite size cubes, but then I slowly roast them in a pan with some olive oil until they become fluffy and soft, then add crushed cumin and coriander seeds, red pepper flakes of whatever kind I happen to have, and fresh oil before increasing the heat and sort of stir-frying the spices into the crust.

I’m partial to poached eggs, or Gordon Ramsey style scrambled eggs.

I like to pre cut bacon into squares, like four-five squares per strip of bacon, and I stir-fry them in the same pan I make the potatoes in. I like the texture of some starch and leftover spices on the bacon.

I’ll try your method too some day. Thanks for sharing.

They didn’t reverse it in the sense that they went back to human operators. They got rid of the AI by getting rid of the service altogether by the looks of things.

Preach it.

I recently started studying social psychology, and sadly the main takeaway from my initial venture into the field is a confirmation of how unaware and automated the average person is.

Middle managers, marketers and the average customer are all caught up in a perpetual feedback loop, constantly enabling each other’s addictions. It doesn’t help that these demographics overlap as managers and marketers are customers of other marketers and managers, turning the feedback loop into a vicious cycle.

We need deliberate efforts to archive everything efficiently.

We also need a way to decouple everyone’s personal info from publicly available information about them, keeping in mind that not all publicly available information is intended to be that way.

Storage ain’t cheap and it definitely ain’t infinite.

This is a way harder problem than “the internet” being a bit more mindful can solve easily.

Not to absolve any companies from responsibility or anything.

Really? What kind of lake are they now? Oh, meteor lake.

Remind me when they are at “toxic waste lake” or “out of lakes, sorry”

I don’t know about rebooted but I think Overwatch 2 should be debooted and revert back to 1.

No, it doesn’t, I say.

I think this is a sensible suggestion. Maybe it could be implemented through privacy settings. Right now, you can hide your subscriptions (they are public by default btw, fyi). Maybe it’s possible to make it so you only upvote anonymously.

The stuff you already boosted have a line under the boost button. You can take your boost back by hitting that again. It doesn’t delete it from your followers’ feeds obviously but it makes it easier for it to be overtaken by something that’s boosted more.

One thing to know is, the up and downvote buttons don’t do anything to the placement of a comment or post. It’s a general like-dislike marker.

If you want to upvote something as in the reddit functionality, boost it.

Boost is a repost or retweet on mastodon, and in the microblog sections of kbin.

On thread comments, a boost pushes the top level comments to the top of the stack. It means “this is the shit, everyone’s gotta read this first.”

On the threads view, a boost pushes a thread up the list but not all the way to the top, so it’s practically an upvote.

In all cases, if you have followers, it pushes the threads and microblog posts you boosted into their feed.

And this is why we shouldn’t keep saying “it doesn’t matter which instance you sign up on” to newcomers.

I think the best approach would be to make a list of the most vibrant and general purpose instances, at least a few of them, and direct people to those. Once they figure it out, they’ll find their best fit anyway. If their initial experience is in a particularly slow or very niche instance, they might abandon the platform altogether due to the wrong impression they get.

That’s exactly what happened to me with mastodon because the first instance I signed up for was too niche and too small. It just felt dead. It was the same three or four people posting disjointed stuff and never interacting with each other by the looks of things. I figured it out in time but that was a bad first impression nonetheless.

I think you might have just sold me the game. Someone should pay you.

The bane of my existence in any pvp game is crowd control mechanics.

In general, I hate every player skill in pvp games which take away the opponent’s ability to play.
