Plant based cheese is god awful, its congealed oil textured. Milks have been great though
We need to up our game on many many fronts. We need more investment and harder turn toward deomcratic socialism to fully reap what is being sown.
Yeah and one thing autoritarian regimes are known for is sufficient oversight and regulatory rigour!
They are a piss poor insular dictatorship, it is reasonable to expect lacking standards and outdated methodologies as they do not have sufficient investment for cutting edge processes.
He takes part in society yet he critiques it.
This isnt a gotcha, if he did this in private he couldnt champion it.
It should be more eye opening that his path to critique relies on thos he critques, making the case that they are too engrained.
Apple is delaying new features for everyone...new siri anyone?
This just tells me these featuers are anti-user
I was only telling my wife today that I am nearing moving to apple as a result of their AI approach.
Too much outsourcing and third parties involved in android implemtations. I dont have data security with them, I'd hope they implement this well.
Yeah but canucks in the EU means Europe now has a border with the US which raises concerns also
Unregistered how? Do you need permission for more?
Who is storing photos with meta? I get they ae accessing them but they are likely stored on icloud of gdrive. Both of which I would prefer over microsoft. Tbh I would prefer stone tablet carvings to microsoft.
Meh, they could just as easily land on me, a fly bug landing on something wouldnt stop me eating it. That kind of cautiousness is a recipe for disaster
We are not circling the drain and our defense spending wont be enough to stabilisie his economy.
What you need to be wary of is how thr EU takes big tech contracts like Palantir into everyday lives.
Americans yearn to walked on.
This will be addressed in the EU, it is anticompetitive
They are complicit by only striving to be less evil. Would you be happy between choosing a rape and murder of your parents or just a murder? One is clearly less than the other so we should be happy with that over the alternative.
One is clearly preferrable, neither is acceptable.
Dems had power for enough time to change elections and did not, thus enabling this regime.
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
Always, everytime I pressed attach picture and they pulled up my pics in their viewer I knew.
Yeah...they are watching and doing nothing...a failure and an accessory. The results are the same whether they are there or not, when they could prevent atrocities.
This who is better bullshit doesnt matter, they are complicit.
Just FYI, I would imagine anker have plenty of exploits but I appreiate the recommendations.
I want exactly this set up. I need different ones for bedtime, swimming and everyday wear

Play Store is Bad
The playstore is really poorly laid out. I dont know how to leave a review anymore. Every description has the same nonsense first instead of a description. Sometimes you can select the app developer to load their page with all their apps and sometimes you can't. When did it get so bad?
I just wanted to flag an issue with an app and the review function isnt there.

Coming from Gsuite
I have to say I am not enthused but here we are. Why is nothing centralised? Calendar in outlook, calendar in teams and no specific calendar app to have open in a tab all day.
My query for now, how do I set up an out of office in my calendar. In google it was click, out of office, toggle to reject new or existing meetings and save. I try it in outlook calendar and it ooen viva insights, I do it on there and try to open the app fully but it is just stats and no out of office tab or setting.
Everything is hidden.

Hello all, I made the jump. Its been hard and I am here for some help
Hey! So I have always wanted to make the jump to linux and pc gaming and figured I would do them both together. I would not consider myself techy, just aout tech literate in that I am aware of how much I dont know.
I have linux mint, on a mid to late i5 w/16gb memory. I wanted initially to make a home server but I have jusy been poking around and ended up trying to play all the games I have in attic through emulators and the like.
So I got loads of emulators, I use Cartridge which is a Lutris fork. It just seemed cleaner and worked when I tried it out. In that I had been booting into PCSX2 and finally playing MK Deception again. After three evenings poking and gaming PCSX2 shuts down every time I try to boot a game.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and changed from 1.7.xx to 2.2 to the nightly 2.3 (I think). I cannot get it to work.
I have so many questions but if I could get back to Konquest I would be so happy, and bother you all later.

Mint, Steam, PCSX2 and Dualsense
Hey,
I recently made the jump to linux. I wanted to sart PC gaming and figured I would start as I mean to go on.
I am having an issue with getting my ps5 controller connected. Steam recognises it, everything mapped fine. I open pcsx2 and it thinks its a dualshock 2. I cannot get it to work in game. I have remapped and everything but when I get to a menu, the D pad will work but selecting an option won't.
Any advice appreciated.

I just want my gmail signature to match betweem desktop and mobile app.
Can someone please tell me why the gmail android app does not allow for this? Is there some system condition that disables this feature. It is surely related to android becuase iOS has signature matching.
Google owns every step of this.

Wedding Confusion
I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.
Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.
The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.
I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.
I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.

What is a discreet way of waking myself?
I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.
Is there anything else?

I need music from a 2009 Aussie Movie that doesn't appear to have made a huge impact - Beautiful Kate
I watched beautiful Kate years and years ago, my first Mendo movie, and I loved the music. I used to listen to the main theme and "this little Bird" on YouTube but the latter has been removed from everywhere I've searched.
If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Problems on problems - Mint can't see my wifi card.
I check the spec and it has a wifi chip but the os can't see it.
I had a wifi toggle on windows 11 when I got the PC and also when I used a mint USB boot. Driver manager sees nothing to update or install.
The mint community page has failed to post my question a few times so now I'm here.

Philips Hue Sync Box alternatives or successes?
I want to get a sync box but they are not 4k120. The FancyLEDs box only has one input meaning I can't use a PS5 and set top box or Apple TV.
Any advice or successful set ups?
Not sure if this is a real thing or a fully fleshed out thought
I am looking for speakers, decent quality and nice looking that doesn't stand out too much. I want it on a bookshelf in the kitchen and another in the sitting room.
I want it to connect to a home server but also Spotify/streaming. And I'd like them to link together.
Basically I want the house listening experience to be seamless when going between different rooms, 2-4 speakers. Audiobooks and some music would be stored on a Nas and most music and podcasts would be Spotify.
I'd prefer to interact with it through my phone, Android if possible but not completely necessary.
In my head I imagine walking into a new room and tapping the speaker with my phone to switch to that speaker.
Is this a real thing?

Why can't code be uncompiled?
I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I'm wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can't take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?

Comic Book lingo - Help me
Hey, I've just been getting into a couple graphic novels and I've really enjoyed Invincible the show so I got the first book/comic.
I checked Wikipedia for clarification, there are 25 issues in the run but then there are compendiums and complete libraries...both of which cover different things?
The compedemdium Vol 1 says it covers #1 to #47 and that's 22 more issues than I thought there was so could you help me out with the lingo used in the space?

Tartine, do I need a dutch oven for a home oven with a steam function?
My oven has a steam function, I can heat and steam the oven on high before putting the loaf in.
Do I still need a dutch oven?

Long press on links to show the link address.
Pressing images open the image in the viewer which currently doesn't happen for me in comments on posts with images directly posted.
Option to disable all data saver options, I'd like all images to open at the max resolution.

Can we get an easy way to filter out keywords?
On relay for Reddit there was a function where I could use keywords like "Putin" and it would filter out all posts with that word in it's title.
I yearn to clean up my frontpage.
The Missing
Just finished season 2 and wanted to discuss. I think it was a little bit long toward the end and behind the first season but otherwise it was enjoyable. The actress playing the daughter was very good, creepy though.

Back to working out, could use some pointers
So I've been out of the game a couple of years, I did a bit of calisthenics but I'm too fat now to go at that and also I was never flexible which brought a bit of a wall to that path.
I've about 10kg put on past my resting happy weight and 13-15kg past my prime. I'm looking to drop weight first and foremost and maybe build stamina.
I have my own barriers tl push through, hoping this restart takes but mostly I now have to be self motivated because a change in location means no classes only gym access.
So... Could anyone provide a quick 45-60 minute routine to get me started. I'm 183cm and 100kg.
