  • What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

    Jump

  • Yes exactly. Embrace and extinguish has always been Microsoft's strategy. They'll release their own distribution and either make it slower and more complicated than Windows, so that everyone thinks Windows is the better OS, or they'll make it a cloud OS like Chrome, requiring recurring payments to use Office 365 and everything else.

  • There are many aspects to that question, I could for example say that what hundreds of people eat in a restaurant in a week has to be of consistent quality and perfectly hygienic. I could talk about how knowing when to add salt to a dish makes the difference between stale or juicy lentils. Or that a roux tastes so much better if you just sauté it for a few minutes, which anyone would always do if they just knew about it, and it's the job of a recipe to tell them.

    But in the end, I dont think cooks are more pompous about their craft than carpenters or painters are about their work. They wouldn't use steel screws for wood or a broad brush for corners. It's a craft and people get angry if someone gives wrong explanations.

  • The fact that milk is added as a binder/emulsifier + flavor-enhancer doesn't suddenly turn it into a fucking "ragu". Further, even if gravy was the wrong term for this sauce, the correct one certainly isn't a ragu. This is much closer to a velouté [...]

    I think it's much closer to a béchamel. The recipes I've found dont really create a roux first, but if they did, a Bechamel is exactly what you're creating if you add milk instead of water or broth and mix it until your wrist falls off.

  • Sorry but that is a ridiculous source, they forgot to add yeast to their yeast dough and just went with it. If they dont care about doing things the way they believe it tastes best, why bother with recipes at all?

  • I think you're complaining that your lemmy client displays the alt text over the image. Mine does that with videos, which I also find annoying, but not with images. In any case, it is a client issue, so you could ask your developer nicely for an option to disable this behaviour (or look in the settings if it's already possible)

  • I often hear americans (even scientists) say that they prefer the Fahrenheit scale for weather forecasts, but I believe the perceived higher accuracy is an illusion. Forecasts aren't that accurate for any given micro climate.

    For example, I don't care if my weather forecast says 26°C or 28°C, I know it's "short sleeves" weather and when I look at a few graphs at the end of the day, it's been 25.6°C two meters above ground 100 meters south of me and 27.3°C in the garden, but only for 5 minutes etc.

    On 21 April, Germany will deport me – an EU citizen convicted of no crime – for standing with Palestine

  • Oh but it does. So much so, that even the clerk who was given the task remonstrated. You can look it up here: https://fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exklusiv/2025/04/proteste-berlin-ausweisung/

    Her reasoning:

    According to § 6 para. 2 sentence 1 FreizügG/EU, the fact of a criminal conviction alone is not sufficient to justify the aforementioned decisions or measures. Only criminal convictions that have not yet been expunged from the Federal Central Criminal Register may be taken into account, and only to the extent that the circumstances on which they are based indicate personal conduct that poses a current threat to the freedom of movement.

  • You can absolutely want peace and even agree to concessions to Russia to reach a sustainable peace, but this point is absolutely valid: there must be security guarantees, otherwise Putin will just use the armistice to rebuild its strength and attack again.

  • Ceiling fan for heating and the Mrs.

    Jump

  • Look, she has a point too. Let's say your skin has a temperature of 30°C and the moving air has a temperature of 21°C. As the air moves past the skin, heat is being exchanged more efficiently from skin to air, cooling the skin.

    You have a point as well, the room is heating up more efficiently for basically the same reason.

    I suggest to turn on the ceiling fans while heating up the room for like half an hour or however long it takes to reach ± 1°C of the desired room temperature, and to turn it off afterwards.

  • Yeah well and ideas occur to you after you've experienced something and by proxy that is one reason why people will always put their own basic needs above some abstract idea of a better world and everything. As opposed to "just think about a better world and talk about it and people will believe in it and fight for it". Which doesn't work, in case that's news to anyone. Although in the 1840s, it really was.
