@howrar @nullpotential He’s made some videos that have rubbed me and others the wrong way - most notably a video on self-driving cars that ended up being a Google-sponsored propaganda piece.

@HubertManne I suspect that dropping the letters at a doorstep isn’t the hard part. Letters require their own sorting infrastructure which can actually be quite complex, so doing this probably lets them streamline behind the scenes.

@alyaza As someone who’s still very covid-conscious and an agoraohbe, takeout being widely available has been a boon. Still, the commentary on the experience lost resonates with me. I generally tend to favor certain kinds of meals that I know are going to tolerate being in 3 layers of container for half an hour and still be pretty good. I don’t tend to get apps or dessert, since that just prolongs the degradation. It never occurred to me that restaurants would be actively prioritizing menu items that deliver well, but in retrospect it’s obvious, and I think it’s a bit sad to think about. There are so many meals that are much better served fresh and plated nicely in courses rather than slopped into a box.

And before anyone chastises me for being “lazy” or relying on extractive services, I highly favor ordering directly from the restaurant and picking up. The deeply abusive nature of Doordash et al towards both customers and restaurants is not lost on me.

@knokelmaat @Beachbum If you’re referring to the fact that she @ mentioned OP, that’s not her specifically trying to call him out. She’s responding from Mastodon (as am I) which just handles all post replies like that.

@brickfrog @far_university1990 The dev saying it’s about “information on how to fund the project” is being… misleading. Windows binaries from the project are paywalled, so alternate builds being distributed via Winget presents a pretty clear threat to that funding by being free and more convenient.* They’re well within their right to not distribute their own builds for free, but the misleading way it’s framed here is not endearing… especially given this is a fork of another piece of FOSS software that will happily provide you Windows builds.

* As an aside, it really is so much better to have stuff distributed by a package manager. Who the hell wants to download an installer from Patreon for every new release, honestly. Some devs drive me crazy with their insistence on asinine distribution channels.

@agressivelyPassive You should still clean your kitchen though, that’s my point.

@agressivelyPassive @technom That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don’t need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren’t strictly necessary, but they’re very useful for managing that history.

@SubArcticTundra Because the flavor goes into the water! That’s why soup broth tastes good. Try chopping up half an onion, boiling for 10 minutes in a pot with enough water to cover them, then taste the water.

@baggins I’m afraid I’m not familiar, but that does sound good!

@MangoKangaroo @21Cabbage There are lots of options, but personally I like serving them with rice, fried onions and kale! You can either pan fry them, or spread them on a sheet tray in the oven with the onions. I simultaneously make seasoned rice cooked in vegetable stock and a teaspoon or two of the same spices I cooked the chickpeas and onions in. (I like ras el hanout, but you can use whatever seasoning you like.)

@LoamImprovement @jarfil The egg is being used to form a sauce - you limit the heat it gets so that it doesn’t curdle. Classic carbonara is done with fatty pork like guanciale, so you get a sauce that consists of rendered fat and cheese with egg holding it together and making it creamy.
