One of the points here was those syntaxes no longer work

• search engines are usually free text, with no concept about fields
• the syntax you specify usually depends on specific sites implementing “filtering” which is usually a lot more annoying to use, and people here complaining that no longer works. Plus that’s limited to a specific site
• google search specifically, used to accept syntax like quotes to match a phrase and plus or minus to indicate required presence or absence, but those no longer work.
• certainly part of it is merchandisers using SEO for greater attention rather than better match

I’m currently looking for a new light fixture and haven’t yet found the magical search phrase to get there or a site with filtering that works. Of course it may not exist but all my attempted searches so far return random junk, so I don’t even know

It turns out many of us do search for specific terms when we want specific items.

When you say trends, is it among people not baking long enough? I love gooey cookies as well, but that looks raw.

Recently I used store made cookie dough (because “safe to eat raw”!) in a cast iron pan to make it more like a brownie, maybe like this. Surprise, it’s much thicker than a standard cookie so needs to be cooked longer than the directions say

Sorry to hijack your thread, @Lost_My_Mind …

Wish y’all could have made it. All My guests did come, but there was a ton of food and a lot leftover

Boston. I’m serious too

Oh man, I did not need to read this now ……

I have people coming over today. They cancelled on a previous weekend and are hemming and hawing. The event is that I have a smoker and and want to make all kinds of new foods. I have $100 of meat, an elaborate salad and sides. Dessert also goes on the smoker. I just want someone to help eat.

This weekend’s feast is duck. Dry brined, stuffed with oranges, and smoked. Or chicken, to bribe a picky eater to come.

But it’s cold and rainy so the outdoor seating is out and I don’t really have space inside . I have an afternoon of cooking ahead that I was so excited for but have lost my motivation, dreading wasted time and money if they don’t show up

I like the one with turning off half the lights. That seems like an effective signal while not being confrontational.

Sometimes it’s just pure obliviousness and you really need to speak up.

One of my embarrassing moments was shopping at a teacher store to supply my ex’s classroom. We were kind of enjoying the afternoon so taking our time, no big deal. Then the store people started coming over more frequently to ask if we needed help. No thank you. Eventually we make our way to the register and were shocked to discover the store closed half an hour ago. wtf, why didn’t someone kick us out, or at least stop being so damn polite and tell us they were closing since we clearly didn’t realize it? I’ll never forget the cringe of keeping people so late, and we were just enjoying leisurely shopping that could have finished long since

We have a scanner that does that on every build.

It blocks builds for dependencies with

• licenses not acceptable to Legal
• serious or critical vulnerabilities.
• political messages, even if you agree with them
• we may also add a criteria to block non-release dependencies.

As a developer, you’re free to use anything that works

I have yet to figure out how my company views contributing back to open source. I don’t know of anyone actively doing that, but it turns out we host a few originals of open source. I’ve been trying to improve development processes, get tools and dependencies up to date …… but then I ran into things where it’s a bigger change because of the downstream opensource dependencies and because it’s not really owned by the company

No one brought up ai yet? No, srsly ……

My opinion on these licenses is theoretical since I haven’t actually developed any open source.

However an analogous scenario which DOES affect me, and most people here ….

• I’ve posted my opinion online in various places. Offered freely to the public to do as they please.
• I’m fine with companies making money off providing the aggregate of such efforts to the public, such as by advertising. However my pseudonym retains credit and the audience is open

All well and good until AI came along and everyone sees a potential jackpot. And there’s Reddit, wanting a bigger share of that jackpot. They’ve taken the idea a step farther and I’m not ok with it. I guess I don’t like the restrictions and I don’t like the extra levels of profiteering: Reddit makes money off providing my content in a limited form to private companies. They in turn make money off AI trained by my content, to a limited audience and there is no longer a portion credited to my pseudonym. Technically they’re in the right since I never thought to prevent this scenario, but they’re not using it in the way I expected/intended/ was told

Plus now there are services that make this easier. I use “Hide my Email” in my iPhone but I’m sure there are other such services. It generates a unique email address that forwards to my real email, and stores it in the password manager. At any time I can simply click to stop the forwarding and it’s gone

It seems to work! I only wish I had it sooner since most spam is from accounts where I had to use real email

It really seems to be two 2️⃣ problems

1. They’re not kiosks, they’re an assembly of components that don’t always work well together
2. The stupid scales. I understand they want to prevent theft but they don’t, they just inconvenience people. If you want to control theft, either pay a cashier or maybe use cameras

A throwaway reference to another thread on here …. Someone tried to sue a restaurant when he choked on a bone in his boneless chicken wings. The court ruled he can’t sue because “boneless” is just a style of cooking and doesn’t make any claim about whether that meal has bones. …. That kind of misrepresentation, and dodging responsibility should be illegal. All sorts of scamming the customer should be illegal and isn’t

If I can go on a bit of a rant, I do believe in the power of the market to shape our lives, our economy, our society. Conservatives got that part right. But a market is only “free” when everyone plays by the same rules and has same facts and knowledge, free choice. A market is only beneficial when it is shaped by regulators to benefit society. A market is only sustainable when it incorporates externalities. If Conservatives are gung ho about free markets, they need to step up and do their part. While there’s a nice theory about the usefulness of Marketting, the primary use is to lie, subvert, fool, distort the market, and THAT should be illegal

Boneless chicken with bones

Also, check back in a month. Sometimes a domain squatter will just never at, hopin to flip it before the registrar takes it back

Oh. Yeah. Nothing to see here. Everyone carry on

Nitpicking here, but I’ve never seen anyone actually spell out the word “quote” in this context, when typing it online. We have a special character for that

it’s very clear that the the EPA is allowed to act

Are you sure about that? Did Congress spell out how to handle those specific pollutants?

Didn’t apple add support for controllers a couple years ago? Maybe I’m misremembering, but why isnt that a bigger deal for people who want to play serious games?

For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)

I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts
