TOTK performance on switch is not bad at all. I don't know where what perception came from. I haven't experienced any low frame rate issues after 100 hours.

I have a bad sense of direction IRL but an excellent sense of direction in games. I don't think it necessarily transfers. I love open world games.

The IARC ruling [...] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [... and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.
From the article. ^^^
This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a "possible carcinogen" and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.
Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There's a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and "the dose makes the poison" is a common refrain in toxicology.

Nutritional yeast is also amazing. Gives it a cheesy flavor, and it's healthy to boot!

I prefer to airpop it in the microwave and then spritz EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on afterwards. EVOO is delicious, and unrefined oils like EVOO retain more flavor if you don't heat them.

So instead of 'up' and 'down', you have a clickable emoji-menu like list of tags like 'interesting', 'boring', 'funny', 'WTF!?', 'Quality', 'Trash', 'Educational', 'CAT', etc...
I'm not sure about this. How do you decide which qualities users can rate? How do you ensure those qualities work across instances with different languages / cultures? You're also taking something which is extremely low effort and making it take significant more time and effort. I think the simplicity, universality, and low effort of upvote / downvote are all strengths.

The only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a "no logging" policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.

I cook Jamie Oliver's "basic tarka dhal" all the time. It doesn't take that much time in my experience, and being a basic recipe it lends itself to lots of variations. Highly recommend.

I've always felt that pair programming is more useful on early stages of a task, where there is enough doubt about implementation details and discussing them is worth.
Is pair programming the right way to address unknowns around implementation? It seems like a brainstorming / whiteboarding session might be a better fit.

“The research has been very clear that cursive writing is a critical life skill in helping young people to express more substantively, to think more critically, and ultimately, to express more authentically,” he said in an interview.
What research? This sounds pretty far fetched to me.

I look at it from the standpoint of federated social media dethroning the reigning social media "monopolies". Companies like Facebook, Twitter, and now Reddit have shown that they want engagement at all costs and will prioritize profit over people. The faster they die, the better.
From this perspective, numbers and growth are important (although of course they're not everything): People won't jump ship to a new platform unless there is a critical mass of users, because a platform needs a sufficient number of users to provide the same variety of user generated content and communities that people have come to expect.
More people using federated social media also means more developers, better apps, and a better user experience for everyone using it.
There's a snowball effect, and maybe one day we'll get out from under our rich social media overlords.

I do this sometimes with TV shows. I have a library of things I know I want to watch at some point. I roll a die and watch what it tells me. Honestly, I've been pretty happy with the process.
And it doesn’t really matter if it’s technically a trust.
I recently read his article about [enshittification](https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/) and watched an [interview where he talks about "chokepoint capitalism"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vluAOGJPPoM). I also really like scifi and from what I've heard he writes scifi. What scifi book(s) of his should I start with if I like these political / economic views of his?
When researchers examined mice that had recovered from severe influenza, they came upon a surprising discovery: Taste bud cells had grown in the animals' lungs.
On an article I see: > > > boosts (x) | reduces (x) | favourites (x) > > What does "reduces" mean, what effect does it have, and how does a user reduce a post? I see the link to boost a post, and I see "more" but this doesn't contain a "reduce" link.
If you're like me, you have a habit of typing reddit.com whenever you have some time to kill at a computer. Kicking habits takes time, so as you develop a new habit of typing kbin.social (or lemmy.world or whatever the case may be), consider a browser extension that blocks or redirects traffic from reddit to your desired new social media destination. For Firefox, I have found these to be helpful over the last week: * [Block Site](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/block-website/) * [Redirector](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/)
