That sounds actually awesome.
It was fantasticly coffee
I have no idea what that means, but it still sounds pretty good.

1·4 days agoTry telling that to your mother who’s been handling the turkey for decades.
You get what you get and you either like it or you shut up and pretend that you do, because that’s your mum and she’s tired and hasn’t seen you in weeks and turkey is always a little dry, trust me I know, I’ve been doing this since before you were born, eat it with some cranberry sauce, have you seen your cous…

1·4 days agoI can and have cooked turkey for myself.
I have "won" at turkey.
When I lived on my own and worked in the restaurant industry, I took it as a point of pride to figure out how to do it well.
I tried brines, but found that simple salting and leaving it on the bottom shelf overnight was easier and just as effective.
And that cutting it up and cooking each part via sous vide was a more reliable way to cook the meat to an even tenderness.
And that I could still brown the skin on a cast iron pan on high heat afterwards.
And then experiment with sauces and dressing and spices because that’s where a lot of the flavor and fun came from (for me).
And then decided it just wasn’t worth it. Not when I can cook a chicken, a duck, and a Cornish hen for half the effort.
If you want to go through the effort and expense of doing it because that makes it special to you and you enjoy it, more power to you.
But Thanksgiving seems more like ritual torture for the vast majority of people who do it because we collectively accepted that it’s “what you’re supposed to do”.

3·4 days agoI support your right to love turkey at any level of doneness.
I should have specified that it’s not worth it to families (or grocery store employees) to collectively pressure everyone in the country to buy a turkey during the same one-week period.

94·4 days agoRather than all of that stress, I’d rather we collectively agree that it’s just not worth it.
Cook smaller poultry.
It’s easier to cook evenly and it usually tastes better anyway.

Maybe it wasn’t the user interface after all.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photosEnglish
2·8 days agoTl;dr:
- PhotoPrism: Local AI with strong privacy but heavier setup.
- LibrePhotos: Same, but less polished, more community-built.
- Immich: Best self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
- Ente Photos: E2E encrypted, low-maintenance, most “plug and play”

World News@lemmy.world•Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 yearsEnglish
1·8 days agoThe last two paragraphs are tangentially about the fire, and don’t engage with the anger at all - which was the subject of the headline.
It’s like I was watching a news segment where they stop reporting and cut to a talking head who started analyzing political responses to the fire.
How much Chinese companies are donating to relief efforts and the political parallels of an election being delayed (covid before, the fire now) are tangentially related, but in my opinion, that’s no longer focused on “Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 years”.

World News@lemmy.world•Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 yearsEnglish
11·9 days agoTL;Dr: They want the Hong Kong leader to focus on the renovation company’s possible corruption, not the bamboo that didn’t burn.
The Hong Kong leader responded to the fire by promising to replace (traditional Hong Kong) bamboo scaffolding with (mainland China) steel, because they’re claiming it might have been an accelerant.
Residents argue that this is a distraction (most of the bamboo is still standing) from the real issue: the company doing the renovation/maintenance seems shoddy/corrupt and should be investigated.
At this point, the article gets unfocused and jumps around a lot.
By the end, she’s talking about the upcoming elections being compromised by the Chinese government.

11·9 days agoI set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.
Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.
My users don’t want to fiddle.

75·10 days agoSo Plex has downgraded to [insert the word below feature parity] with Jellyfin.
Even if Selfridge’s entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the “full quote” is the better quote.
I can’t imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes “the customer is always right” is more correct of a saying without “in matters of taste”.

If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.
I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)
If the key doesn’t unlock features, what does it unlock?
Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a “Supporter” tag next to your name on the app settings?
The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don’t change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it’s a valid question.
What does the $100 server key unlock (besides “supporter status”), since features aren’t paywalled?
They’re totally different.
Greektasy has steamy romance with inconveniently attractive brooding werewolf-pire enemies-to-lovers plotlines, whereas Romantasy has the same thing with a different name.
