  • I have a cousin who works deeply in advertising and marketing infrastructure. He's a code guru who helped to build advertising engines for Facebook and now works deeply in the industry. He has told me to my face that my efforts to delete ads from my life is stealing from him. Coincidentally he uses Linux and a suite of privacy and security products to hide his identity. Rules for thee but not for me.

    What's the most efficient way for peeling potatoes by hand?
  • Given that the skin has up to 12 times the nutrients of the entire potato it covers I personally stopped peeling my potatoes in most situations. It also adds a great crispy texture when you're roasting or frying. With that said, you do you when peeling. If it's cathartic to peel it all in one piece go for it. Or you can cut the potato in half and simply use a knife to trim the skin off like a sweet potato.

    How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers?
  • Basically this. Knowing the right questions and context to get an output and then translating that into actionable code in a production environment is what I'm being paid to do. Whether copilot or GPT helps reach a conclusion or not doesn't matter. I'm paid for results.

    What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?
  • It frequently does sadly. it's run by one guy and I think it is starting to cost quite a bit to host. I'm pretty sure it's hosted in Canada and our Internet and hosting costs here are asinine.

    What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • You can actually get a sharpening attachment for it that screws into the neck of the tool. Then you use a grinding disc and pass the scissors across it at the set angle. Only need one pass usually. And take the scissors apart first lol

    What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • As a homeowner, a Dremel. I've replaced half my tools with a single device and counting. Best 80 bucks I've spent on useful stuff in ages. You can get literally anything as an attachment, Lol. I'm waiting for the attachment that will do my taxes.

  • Game is an absolute masterpiece on top of it all. This kind of game needs unequal levels of support. They knocked it out of the park AND they did it all in the right way. I'm encouraging people to buy it and play if they like RPG, tabletop or even just interested in forgotten realms. One of a few games I've purchased for full price on Steam.

    I'm going to play the whole of Baldur's Gate 3 with a controller and you can't stop me
  • Been playing on the steam deck and it has been an excellent experience so far. Play the game with a banana for all I care. More people need to experience and support Larian's masterpiece.

    Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?
  • I was trying to use connect but sync is just l... Better. It feels the way it should and makes interacting with Lemmy feel familiar. Long love the fediverse.
