I switched to a French Press recently-ish. Instead of 4 or 5 cups of weaker coffee from my single serve drip thingie, I have 2 strong cups from my French Press and am ready to go. I’m thinking about trying a pourover to see how that is. Espresso is tasty and strong, but I don’t think I’d want it NEARLY enough to justify a machine. I usually only do espresso when I’m traveling, makes me feel fancy having a latte in the big city haha.

All that said, coffee is very individual. There is no “right” answer. If you’re happy with drip, than drip is the way. :)

So why not use a dripper?

Whereas a drip just passes through the coffee, a French Press is more of a steep. You get a stronger taste from it than you would on a drip.

Espresso is a whole other thing, expensive to get into at home. It uses a much finer grind and (IIRC) the water is pushed through under pressure.

Funny how Congress “can’t just legislate over SCOTUS” but only when it’s an issue of human rights. Corporate rights or Capital interests? BULLDOZE THAT DECISION BABYYYY

Yeah, there’s any number of reasons a kid might not have a costume. Finances, health, sensory issues, the list goes on.

Its free candy day, who gives a shit just give out free candy! ❤️

Totally fine when they do it.

I’d argue those people were necessary, what with how public opinion works.

If we’re in a tug of war and you’re pulling with 10 pounds of force, I can’t beat you with 2 pounds of force. In context, you won’t beat “ITLL MAKE YOU GO BLIND AND KILL YOU” with “heeey, like, jot always, maaaannnnn.”

As always, reality is somewhere in the middle, but we wouldn’t have had the progress we did without the other extreme being loud and out there.

All is legal in the eyes of capital.

With every bonkers reddit/twitter move we get new waves of milquetoast liberals.

I just wish someone would tap the sign of “no, claiming Harris is the answer to all our problems on ml instances won’t go well.” So tired of threads from .world types crying oppression when they’re banned for screeching hate at people but cheer when .world mods kick us for posting a source or some other mundane bullshit.

I always see unhinged folk making bad faith arguments or outright shit talk shriek about being banned from ml instances for “disagreeing” then turn around and cheer when .world bans you for linking a source or something.

Thats not even a weightlifter body lol.

Incels just think anything other than questionable consent with somebody who looks like a child is actually gay.

I didnt enjoy it but my friends that do have lost days to it lol

I’m glad it worked for you, it borked the fuck out of my system 🤣

Does anybody use Titan Mail and have an opinion of how this compares?

You’re not wrong, but the underlying traits that make them that way is also what drives them to build FOSS software instead of maximizing their income potential at any and all costs. Meanwhile, most users just suuuuuuuck.

It shouldn’t fall on developers, but maybe the community should normalize finding a willing representative willing to listen to all the hot garbage the community throws at devs and have that person monitor various channels then relay only the relevant stuff to the Dev. Cause as it stands, difficult or not, FOSS devs are working for free and dont deserve the hate they get.

I always imagine people who die on this hill just admiring the title screen of every game in their library for 5 seconds and calling it a gaming session lol.

Yes

I can’t speak to how often, but it definitely happens.

Its a perception thing, they see it as “I dont have to’learn’ anything I just follow these tutorials” even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.

Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.

Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I’m pretty tired of what they’ve been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I’ll do the same for it.

This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people “Linux too hard booo CLI…now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI.”

Or do you mean they should shrink, fire people, and downscale

I reckon I do. Google is like 80% of their funding or some shit, which hinders other search products while affecting user experience in other ways as well due to their influence. If they reined in the scope of their product, they could work on a lower budget which might allow them to work towards breaking free of that oversight. As I mentioned, I don’t think most Firefox users want half this crap they’re working on anyway, but they’re caught in the tech “infinite growth” loop where they ““have”” to crank out bs features or else be considered irrelevant.

Just make a solid browser, work in solid mod support so I can make it my own, and maintain it. I have my own tools to use instead of pocket and whatever else, I don’t need Mozilla to do that.

In terms of workers being let go, if they scale back they can at least let people go in a respectful manner instead of them just showing up to a sign on the door lol.
