Most amazing egg thing I’ve had was an egg white whiskey sour. It was at a bar, but I’ve successfully recreated it at home.

I took care of a friend’s chickens for a week or two once. I was carting off eggs by the bucketful. I would try it if I had the land, and dump the excess eggs on my friends for veggies from their gardens.

Good point. I ate the most eggs when I was in my wannabe gymbro phase because it’s cheap and easy protein. No longer.

Also, if you want to have more than one war at a time you’ll need to purchase add on slots for $4.99ea.

As someone with a lot of time spent in Europe and the US over the last 30-40 years, it seems like Europe is often happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first. I also think American music and cultural exports are spreading our cultural degeneracy around the world for a long time and Germans slurp it up. I really hope the better education system will immunize them against the worst of it, but the rise of the AfD makes me doubt.

No shade to Gnome, because there is a place for them in the ecosystem, but this is why I moved from Gnome 2 to KDE (with a few stops along the way). One size will not fit all.

KDE for the desktop and xfce for the laptop

That’s what every company/organization I’ve ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a “modern” style… (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).

I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don’t know if I’ll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I’m just a Lemmy guy I guess.

Most airports do it like this, but I’ve been to places hat need a transit visa just to get to your next flight. Odds are you are correct for a US connection.

I could go a lifetime without ever using OneNote again. That goes doubly for a web version.

Serious question: how do they avoid siphoning up data from states or countries with data protection regulations?

I’m relieved that people are so into labeling even if they don’t understand it. You can’t become informed without information.

Not surprised at the stupidity. People are dumb, selfish, and entitled. Americans are a great example, but it’s not only Americans. We just did the speed running version.

It might be a dumb question, but how does it have it’s own OS like a NAS, or is it basically a box attached to the host and everything is done via software? I encountered some confusion between enclosures, DAS, USB array and some of the other terms I was seeing.

Huh, I hadn’t heard of CachyOS. It seems like everyone went Arch>Manjaro>EndeavorOS. It looks good from the screenshots and I like seeing my favorite DE/WMs in there. If I don’t know what any of those acronyms and technical terms on their page mean, would I still get something out of it? I’m about due for my every-few-months wipe and reinstall.

We’ve been on similar journeys. I started with Ubuntu Warty Warthog and happily remember all the desktop effects lost to time (emerald window decorations anybody?). I went through a Windows phase and settled back into Linux. My newest epoch is the age of self hosting and I’ve been learning a lot especially since the advent of Lemmy. I also play games, but I’ve been using a fully segregated Windows PC for that, though I’ve used Linux in the past.

The last time someone asked this question a lot of people said Mint packages are too out of date. I love Mint, I used Mint for several years, but the graphic driver stuff seems to depend on being very up to date. Someone else could probably explain it better than me. Perhaps it’s not relevant anymore, but I would look into it.

As for KDE, it’s really good now. I used to cling HARD to Gnome back in the old days and really disliked KDE, but things really got shaken up and KDE has been absurdly good for a few releases now. The steam deck even uses it. Also, a lot more distros seem to have releases for more than one desktop environment now. I guess what I’m trying to say is stuff you used to like may suck now and stuff that used to suck could be S-tier. Good luck getting back into Linux. Don’t get discouraged. It’s gotten a lot easier since old timers like us were hacking around on Ubuntu in the early 2000s.

Crypto-quantum AI+ MaXX?

This is probably not a universal experience, but buttons are often faster. Not a car example, but my Garmin Venu watch was a touchscreen and it sucked compared to my Garmin Fenix which is 100% button controlled. I also type way faster on a tactile thumb board than an on screen keyboard.

Its been a few years, but I think it was a Honda Fit.

I consider it space-age. I haven’t driven a non-Mazda that seemed as well thought out and functional. I wish I could rip one out and put it on my non-Mazda car. I breath a sigh of relief that my partner didn’t buy the Honda with a long finicky touchstrip to control the volume instead of a knob.

Same, I’m hoping “ol’ reliable” will last another 200k-500k miles so I won’t have to decide if I want to ride around in a privacy invading, poorly designed smart automobile, or if I’d rather just ride my bike everywhere. To be fair, my car is only around a decade old, but it’s old enough to be missing most of the smart tech, and none of the car’s functions tie in with the stereo.
