Yeah, the texture is not the best, but I found that cooking oats in water and adding frozen berries makes it really good taste-wise. And a colleague told me that adding milk to oats cooked in water is almost the same as cooking them in milk.
But man, adding semolina to your oats and cooking them with milk makes suuuuch a good breakfast because the semolina provides a tasty dense medium in which the oats are suspended.
arXiv doesn't have peer review as far as I know
I read this in chief O'Brien's voice
Seven Spires!!!
If an evil spirit cast a curse on me that I cannot listen to anything but Seven Spires, I wouldn't be too bothered.
They're a symphonic metal band, they released an amazing album this year "A Fortress Called Home".
I've been using MetaGer for a long time and have been very satisfied with it. So sad to see it go. Time to look for a new search engine.
> MetaGer, the privacy-focused search engine of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, will no longer exist in its familiar form. It will still be possible to use the token-financed service. Nothing will change for members and users who use MetaGer with a key. However, it is the ad-financed search that has ensured the main part of the revenue and thus the operation and further development. Unfortunately, this “normal” search is no longer possible as of today. This is just as dramatic as it sounds: it is no longer possible for SUMA-EV to continue to employ staff. All employees are being made redundant, as are the offices.
>The reason is that Yahoo terminated our contracts unilaterally and without any notice on Monday. Upon request, we were merely informed that Yahoo would no longer be operating the business in Germany. For us as the operator of MetaGer, this means on the one hand that we no longer receive any advertising revenue, which has been used to pay for office space, servers and employees. On the other hand, we will also no longer be able to deliver our search results as part of the ad-financed search. Only with Yahoo did we have a central deal to receive search results in return for advertising. This no longer applies.
>What happens now? MetaGer's supporting association, SUMA-EV, will continue to exist. It will also still be possible to buy a key for the token-financed search and search with MetaGer. With this model, MetaGer will still be able to query paid search engines and deliver the results without tracking as usual. We will also continue to work for SUMA-EV and MetaGer on a voluntary basis to ensure the operation of this small niche, but this will of course be on a very small scale and not what MetaGer is all about. MetaGer-Maps can also no longer be operated in this context. The plans to become bigger and to one day provide a really good alternative to “the big players” with its own index (or European index) have of course died with this termination by Yahoo. And that is what is really sad.
And that "no poop challenge" that was everywhere on lemmy about a year ago. Not sure whether that was a lemmy thing or wider, as I don't use anything besides lemmy.
I'm glad a local culture is growing here naturally, but I didn't expect it to be beans, jeans and no poop
I got the notification that it's on sale now. I'm buying it today and can't wait to play it when I get the time
Thanks for mentioning Photon! I just tried it and it has a much better look and feel than the default lemmy UI. Though I noticed that I cannot collapse comment chains (or don't know how to), and on one occasion when someone posted a huge format video in the comments, the video was rendered over the comments below it, which didn't happen in the default UI. But other than that, it's great!
All in all I wouldn't mind if this were the default frontend, I'll probably keep using it myself.
I know how you feel. I often find myself typing :w into notepad/word at work to save something. Or when I log into a machine that doesn't have the vim extension in vscode I constantly type /something to search, only to realize that I actually wrote that in the file. Then using 'u' to undo just adds more characters and people look at me like I'm on some drugs. Just embrace it!
:wq
Interesting, I thought their beaks were just some hard material, like our nails. Didn't know that there's bloodflow there.
Exactly my experience. I often heard stories of vegans being like that, but I never ever saw it so I thought it was just made up to belittle vegans.
Then I joined lemmy and found out that I'm apparently in favour of massacres, slavery and rape because I consume meat/milk/eggs from time to time.
I imagine the vast majority of vegans just go about their lives and resprectfully discuss the ethics of animal consumption when the topic comes up, but these loud militant members really make vegans look bad and they sure as hell make it so that even less people consider going vegan
I remember seeing to mod in the post commenting on someone's mention of North Korea. First he posted an image detailing the deaths caused by the US and South Korea during the Korean war, and that was it, no mention about NK specifically. Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens. Then when someone said how everyone who fled NK said so, he said how they only do it for the shock value to get stories out and make money out of that, or something like that.
Basically people like that find anything anti-US as good, and if you say anything bad about those countries, they'll ask for proof and then call whatever you provide fake.
That is a big question which I am sadly not equiped enough to answer adequately, as I have not invested that much time into anarchist works. What I can give is an example from Kropotkin's book "Mutual Aid":
He mentions how in village societies every dispute was treated as a comunal affair. If no resolution could be found, the case was brought to a group of people (can't remember specifically how they were chosen), and they would pass a verdict and resolution. The disputing parties could then either accept the verdict, or they would be excluded from the community. By excluded I mean that they would not enjoy the hospitality and aid of other members, and would thus have to leave the community. So if you are deemed a problematic member and won't change accordingly, nobody would exert power over you, you would just cease to be a part of the community. Obviously if someone got violent, self-defence would be acceptible.
As for feminism, I know that there is a thing called "anarcha feminism", but I don't know any details.
And that's very unfortunate that that's the most common perception of anarchism, because all anarchist theory focuses on how cooperation beats competition. The "anarchy" in the name means that nobody has rule over someone else, but rather all members voluntarily help one another because it's the most efficient and safest way of living.
You might be thinking of this:

Where he mentioned that the desktop is unique in that it has to support thousands of different devices for all kinds of people, and that most people don't really care what their computer is running as long as it works.

Seven Spires released a new album back in June. This is my favorite song, but the entire album is amazing.
Yeah, Adrienne is amazing, as are all the band members. But there's just something to her vocals... The only band I listened to religiously before Seven Spires was Sascha Paeth's Masters of Ceremony, and guess who the vocalist is.
AFCH is sooo much darker and heavier that the previous albums. I regularly get goosebumps from listening to "Where Sorrows Bear my Name"
I came here to mention Seven Spires! After listening it through about 40 times, it is by far my favourite album ever, topping Solveig (for which I'm in a minority I think).
I like and liked a lot of bands, but only Seven Spires made me completely obsessed for 2+ years
Most of southeastern Europe uses Viber as the "default messaging app", so it does vary by region.
I actually like the idea of being able to see how many upvotes/downvotes came from specific instances much more than seeing the actual users. It would cover some of the positives mentioned in the github discussion:
-Could help fight bot and multiple-account voting (if we assume that people who make multiple accounts do it on the same instance)
-Could help identify voting-patterns from specific servers (obviously)
And then if something looks suspicious, the admins can already see who voted, so they could check out whether some user is abusing the mechanics.
I find that this approach might be worth talking about, but making user votes visible to all seems very unnecessary.

Some black metal from Serbia. Below are the lyrics and my translation
Zalutao pod veo košmara / I wandered under the veil of nightmares
Često usnim brisan prostor / I often dream of a cleared space
Negde i nigde, na granici svetova / Somewhere and nowhere, on the edge of worlds
Dubok je koren strahova / The root of fears is deep
I sanjam... / And I'm dreaming of...
Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma
Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here
Peku se na tihoj vatri / They're burning on a silent fire
I žrtve i dželati / Both victims and executioners
I sve što još ne poznade smrti lice / And everything that had not yet known the face of death
Obgrliše kosturnice / Was embraced by ossuaries
Zastao je dašak jave / A breath of lucidness lingered
Ko u šaci zrno soli / Like a grain of salt in the palm
Možda se i iskobeljam / Maybe I'll get out
Kovčezi nam nisu okovi / Coffins aren't our chains
Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma
Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here
Tu je neki zid, ruina / There's a wall, a ruin
Pored polje puno crkotina / Next to it a field filled with carrion
Gasovi i isparenja / Gases and fumes
Na sve strane plamti litosfera / The lithosphere is on fire on all sides
Obliven znojem, budim se / I wake up covered in sweat
Kraj istih ruševina, gde sve / Next to the same ruins, where everything
Što poznade smrti lice / That knew the face of death
Progutaše kosturnice / Got swallowed by ossuaries
