  • Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons

  • I used linux mint long ago. My biggest worry about a linux system is my Nvidia card.

  • My coworker opened edge when they added the new ai bullshit and thought the desktop was infected by a virus and started panicking.

  • Removing all the popups at work about scheduled updates, news, ads in a workplace with 8 desktops and zero people who speak English is my favourite past time. Thanks Microsoft.

    Also that post prompted me to remove windows from all my devices that still run it. Not that I didn't think of it yesterday.

    I'm familiar with debian-based Linux distros and run Xubuntu on my travel laptop. It occasionally freezes and needs a forced reboot but otherwise runs ok. Any suggestions on what to install on this more powerful one? I use it for gaming but play older games.

  • What kind of network is Lemmy looking to be?

    Jump

  • R****t felt like the place for tech savvy people when I first joined a decade and a half ago (I feel old now). It was confusing and I had no idea how to use it but the content was better than 9gag which was hugely popular at the time. Felt the same way about the fediverse half a year ago. Now it's all natural to me.

  • Anyone else have a shoulder cat?

    Jump

  • Lately my cat starts meowing while standing at the shoe dresser. As soon as I go there he tries to climb on my shoulders. I bend over a bit and he climbs on my back and wants me to go around the house. I was enslaved as soon as he entered our home.

  • Time for a better community name

    Jump

  • Keep it as it is. This is how I found it and it's fitting.

  • Do you still get the "it's Friday!" feeling?

    Jump

  • No, because after a Friday half the time comes the dreaded 13 hour shift which sucks my energy enough to not be able to do anything on Sunday.

    Healthcare is a bitch sometimes.

  • Kiyv oblast is not Russian last time I checked. The bears, wolves and workers might have a bone to pick with you though.

  • Floss Comparison: DMC vs CXC closeups in post

    Jump

  • Oh my, doing the craft gods' work! Amazing work. They nailed the colours almost completely.

  • What and who to follow on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I follow hashtags that I like and if I like a person's posts I'd check their profile out and follow them. I also look at who interacts with my posts, and give them a follow as well, if I want their interests to show up on my feed. I also follow a couple of a.gup.pe groups. Bookstodon is a fun one, I got some cool suggestions there. They were also integrated with lemmy but I haven't seen them work well here for now.

  • Neil deGrasse Tyson Complains That “Dune 2” Isn’t a Shining Beacon of Scientific Accuracy

    Jump

  • After his interview about plant aliens coming to Earth and looking in horror at how people eat vegetables, I refuse to listen to anything that this man says. I used to really like him as a kid, shame.

  • Most forgiving brewing method?

    Jump

  • I have a 1L french press jug that I fill with 80g of coffee, coarse grind (34 on 1zpreszo JX) and top with cold water making sure all the grounds are wet and stirring lightly to make sure they're all wet. I leave it in the fridge for 12-18 hours and filter through the mesh. I dillute with hot water or just microwave it after dillution if I'm too lazy to boil (blasphemy I know). I sometimes mix it with tonic water or ice and drink chilled.

    Make sure to pop it in the fridge. Room temperature extracts the acids somewhat which isn't to my preference.

  • Most forgiving brewing method?

    Jump

  • Cold brew, followed by French press. With cold brew you want a coarse grind but it doesn't really matter THAT much compared to pour over. You just dillute to taste. I do it in a french press so it's easily filtered. The french press is also forgiving. I've oversteeped by 5 minutes and the coffee is still drinkable. Lately I've been mostly drinking supermarket generic Arabica bean brews since I'm on a tight budget but I wouldn't do cold brew with specialty coffee anyway!

  • Buying in bulk

    Jump

  • My cat is so food motivated he eats absolutely everything. Obviously has a preference for wet food with gravy so I buy a bunch of different flavours in bulk but he's happy to eat the same thing every day. He also loves olives, bread (wholemeal more than white, sourdough has an advantage too. Local bakery bread is where things are really at. Supermarket bread is a mixed bag, he usually ignores it because it's crap), seeds, nuts, potato chips, lentils, hummus, yogurt, and grass.

  • Stitchy mail! And a question for any other UK stitchers

  • Yay! Science!

  • Stitchy mail! And a question for any other UK stitchers

    Jump

  • My main worry about CXC is how it holds up after being washed. I haven't used them so I can't vouch but I had no such issues with Ariadna and it was what I started with at first. A lot of the kits local designers assemble also use this brand, if you want them to make it cheaper, so it seems to have proven itself in Eastern Europe at least.

  • Stitchy mail! And a question for any other UK stitchers

    Jump

  • @MrJameGumb@lemmy.world I'm a big fan of Ariadna. Costs 0.50$ (0.35 from my local stores). It's cotton, holds up well and it's made in Poland. The colours wash well and I often mix it with DMC to reduce costs. To the trained eye there might be subtle differences but I don't see them. Their palette is similar to DMC but with a different numbering system. They have most colours DMC has to offer but they're not always a complete match so bw aware of it when you swap. I don't see any difference while working with it quality-wise.

    A quick duckduckgo search led me to this store thst ships internationally

    Also if you don't mind cheap Chinese retailers I'd reluctantly recommend CXC. You can read more a out it on Sirithre's blogpost about it

  • Greece legalizes same-sex marriage

    Jump

  • Don't get me wrong, Bucharest and Sofia are rather LGBT friendly as long as you know where you're safe. (I've only visited both for a couple of days on a number of occasions). I can't speak about other cities but the Orthodox Church is really strong in Romania. Bulgaria on the other hand has soccer extremists/fascists who are particularly dangerous and tend to mob on their targets so it's hard to even find the culprits by the authorities... Not that they even bother unless it's a murder.

    In fact I had a mob of Bulgarian hooligans in Bucharest of all places yelling "Look dude Rapunzel!" pointing at me (I present masculine but have rather long hair). I felt realy threatened and uncomfortable but I realised they didn't know I spoke their language and I was in a crowded place so it all passed.

  • Greece legalizes same-sex marriage

    Jump

  • Bulgaria is an example. The LGBTQ+ community is discussed only during the annual pride parade. Sofia is rather liberal but the rest of the country is highly conservative. The people in power are likely in favour of marriage equality (or most don't care that much so they just vote with the flow) but it's a political suicide given the opinion of the most active voters. If you decided to run a country-wide poll, most people would be against gay marriage. The general attitude is "I don't mind gay people as long as they're not in my face". Except many have stronger opinions than that. Especially men.

    Speaking of men, the Balkan macho culture created a fear of gay people (literal homophobia). On a regular basis I hear men speaking about being afraid of being raped by gay men in certain situations (think massage rooms, men's locker rooms, bars).

    Football hooligan extremists are especially dangerous because they go on witch hunts for marginalized groups and would attack (and sometimes murder) anyone who looks gay, Turkish, ir has a darker skin colour just for sport. There are still partly unresolved murders of LGBT youth commited a decade ago.

    In fact I'm surprised about Greece, they must be the first ortbodox christian country to legalize same sex marriage and they're very religious compared to us.
