Somebody once told me that it’s easier if you bring the water to a boil first before you put the eggs in to cook, as well as putting them in cold water afterwards. It seems to work for me.

I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft says it's going to focus on the things that matter for Windows 11, such as improving performance
2·8 hours agoShouldn’t the focus be on Windows 12? I thought it was supposed to be released in 2025.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•All the different Star Trek series on a triangle graph
12·2 days agoHuh. I’ll have to give Lower Decks a chance; it’s the only one with the name Kurtzman attached that I haven’t yet watched and been disappointed by.
Their definition of EVs exlcudes cars that run on petrol. Great!
Their definition of petrol cars excludes hybrids that run on petrol, which are still in the lead for market share. Not so great.
Anyway it’s a start.

Technology@beehaw.org•ATproto: The Enshittification Killswitch That Enables Resonant Computing
6·3 days agoStill waiting patiently to see whether venture capital eventually turns Bluesky to shit despite all the fancy words, or whether it eventually grows up and starts federating with the rest of us.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Most of the misery in the world is the direct result of too much money in too few unscrupulous hands. This is not only the cause of the vast majority of human suffering, but also of climate change.
5·3 days agoThey that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Technology@beehaw.org•Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February
9·3 days agoTheir UK traffic was down by only 77%? Should’ve been 100% to begin with.
I guess it’s for the best that they’re going after the porn sites first with the “age verification” scam. It’s typically easy for their users to go somewhere else, and it gives a lot of people some first-hand experience of how jarringly intrusive and unsafe it is when a web site asks for official ID or biometric data.

Linux@programming.dev•Xfce Desktop Environment Is Getting a Rust-Based Wayland Compositor
11·3 days agoIf they have to change the names of things, Xfce users are probably fine with taking it one letter at a time.
I’ve used it occasionally to chat with fellow NetHack players.

71·3 days agoPitch for a new Star Trek series: Let’s get an AI to mash together every single tired old sci-fi cliché we can find, except for the ones associated with Star Trek.
!silksong@indie-ver.se should be the lemmy-style link to it, which I’ll just put here so I can follow it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Americans, what do you have to say to people who lived through governments being over thrown at the hands of your country?
3·6 days agoI checked your profile to see if all your posts were as stupid as this one and was quite impressed. It’s a constant stream of rage, hate, Trump, Epstein, WWIII, death camp, MAGA, pedophiles, [deleted by mod], China, Doomerism, don’t be a pussy, reddit, murder, evil. I hope this is just your grimdark shitlord alt and not your whole personality.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder how much the Rent is in the Alphabet City NY neighborhood now 🤔
3·7 days agoBased on my memories of Alphabet City in the 1990s I assume that by now it’s all $15000/month luxury suites.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The lyrics to "if you're happy and you know it" imply you can be happy and not know it
18·7 days agoShe took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they had been happy; and they clapped their hands.

Technology@beehaw.org•Europeans set to launch an alternative to X. It’s called W
3·8 days agoWell, it’s not perfect but it’s better than the way federation works on twitter, or X, Bluesky, or — we can probably assume — on W.
