My word, some good news! Hopefully the extension happens and all my country-boy dreams can come true

We got a rice cooker that can also be a slow cooker, which is another useful strategy. Chop stuff up in the morning, chuck it all in, set it going then eat whenever you want.

Our primary motivation was weight loss ahead of our wedding, but the guiding principle should transfer: make it super easy. We’ve found that the lowest effort method will win out over all our intentions, so we’re rolling with it.

An example: chicken curry with rice. Also a disclaimer, we have a couple of appliances that make stuff slightly more convenient but I’ll put the alternative down too.

It takes around a minute to wash the rice then chuck it in the rice cooker. you can get microwave rice cooker pots or just use a pot on the stove. Once you’ve got the weights and timings dialled in this produces perfect rice just as you’re going to serve with no interaction during.

Then cook the chicken breast and set a timer for when the rice will be ready. We use an air fryer, but used to use the oven.

5 minutes before the chicken is done whip up the curry sauce.

Then it’s just serving - rice goes in the bowls, slice the chicken and put on top, then pour on the sauce.

Whole process looks like this:

• start rice cooking
• start chicken cooking, set timer for 25 minutes
• go do something else for 20 minutes
• start heating the sauce
• when chicken timer goes ding, put the rice in bowls
• slice the chicken, add to bowl
• pour on curry sauce

Total cook time is around 26 minutes. Total interaction time is around 10 minutes.

It’s also super cheap.

Edit: forgot to mention that you can cook whatever veggies you want in the same thing as the chicken and don’t need to adjust your timings

I see this same issue every now and then on lots of different places, and now it’s happened to me. I think I remember someone saying it happened after their instance got a Lemmy update?

I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.

My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

It’s not a fix but a little work around if you don’t want to reinstall:

Edit your password and just re-enter it, then tap save. Seems to achieve the same thing as reinstalling to get a new Auth token.

Agree totally with the feedback Re no information on authentication being dropped. A little splash banner or something would suffice, and then the ability to try authenticating with stored creds again

I found that editing the password and re-entering it then saving was enough. I guess it’s just having to refresh the Auth token?

Okay, clearly you’re just here to to be contrary or whatever. Maybe you don’t like that people have different opinions than you. Maybe you’re a Zuck fanboy and can’t hack being on the wrong side of the fence. Maybe you’re part of some FaceBook/Meta conspiracy to brigade.

If you’re so smart and confident that you’re correct, why don’t you show me the bit where GDPR doesn’t apply? Burden of proof on the accuser and all that.

Here is a link to a search, where the first page of results is showing that when Facebook bought WhatsApp this exact same issue popped up - what was once two distinct services suddenly started sharing data, despite user dissent. We’ve seen this before, and people are pissed off just like before.

I hope you step on some Lego in a dark room. You could use that to post to your Threads account! 🤙

I forgot about the anti cheat stuff. That may well be an issue - some VM toe-dipping appears to be in order for me

Actually it’s more like being upset that Facebook friends show up in WhatsApp.

The user in the link is upset because their IG profile is now visible in a different service and they did not explicitly consent to this.

And of course there is such a thing as a Threads account, you even refer to it in your second paragraph. Just because they share a common IDP doesn’t mean they aren’t a distinct service. It’s effectively single sign on without the appropriate privacy protections.

It’s cool that you’re into the whole thing, but other people aren’t and they have a right to be pissed off. GDPR and the like weren’t created for no reason.

Worried about the Red Hat nonsense at all? I’m not super plugged into the news on it all.

No, it’s just that users don’t like systems where you have to opt out by default. Like you used to have to opt out of shitty marketing emails after a purchase, but then we changed that to opt in and everyone is happier.

It’s not stupid, you shouldn’t be able to discover users in one service from another unless those user have explicitly opted in. It’s not a technical issue, it’s a principals issue.

In this case, you create a Threads account and you should be able to discover everyone else who has also made a Threads account (cos that’s the point), but you shouldn’t be able to see Instagram only users unless they have explicitly said that’s ok.

This is probably all ‘explained’ in the T&C’s, buts that’s getting into a whole other thing

Firstly, like everyone else is saying, petition your instance admin to defederate - any instance that allows that sort of content isn’t somewhere you want to be affiliated with.

You can also block the user posting stuff - I’ve had to do this with the weird anti-trans spam on that dankmemes community. Depending on what you are using you may or may not be able to do this, but the default lemmy web client will let you.

I’m glad see high effort shitposting has taken root over here too

I sincerely hope you aren’t lying because I will accept this as fact and act accordingly should I ever see something I think is a huntsman spider

Jedi: Fallen Order

First whole play through on Jedi Master (hard) difficulty and didn’t collect a single extra stim so just had the two you start with

How’d they taste?

@Cevilia@Lemmy.blahaj.zone has the most correct answer I think but I want to add my opinion as a refugee.

Right now newer Fediverse users like myself are experiencing a new level of choice and autonomy that we didn’t get with the other centralised services. EEE is a practice that slowly erodes that freedom by diluting our user base and eventually forcibly absorbing it.

An analogy:

The centralised services (Reddit, Facebook, etc) are a city and we used to be citizens. However, we took exception to how the city was being run and protested. In response, we were told ‘tough luck, like it or leave’, so we left and are now outside the city walls.

We enjoyed a lot of what the city provided so we’ve started our own village and built the tools so that other people can start their own village too, all in the hopes that this collection of villages will eventually function like the city but without the small group of councillors who were in charge of everything.

Now the councillors are peering over the city walls, seeing that we’ve got some basic services set up and are starting to attract more villagers and that means the stuff we’re making is pretty cool. So they’re expanding their city wall to a point that’s right next to our village and telling their citizens to visit us to look at our cool stuff, and will say that it is actually the city providing the cool stuff because they were generous enough to allow the citizens through a gate. Eventually they’ll try to expand the wall around our village too and the citizens will like this so too few people will say anything about it.

Now we could just move again and start a new village, but should we have to? Why would we bother when we can just put up a magic invisible wall of our own that stops the city seeing our cool stuff, but still allows the citizens to move to the countryside with us and become villagers.
