Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.

yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

Australia has plenty of insolation and most power consumers are packed densely enough not to worry about the upkeep of large grids.

Aside from uranium, we also have a much more plentiful thorium to use as a fission fuel. We definitely are not running out of that. But, thorium power plants can be more expensive, and byproducts of thorium cycle are less valuable, so it’s worth comparing that to running a renewables-based grid again.

Anna’s Archive is the world’s largest collection of pirated books, scientific papers and more. Recently they turned to pirating music as well, starting by dumping 86 million tracks from Spotify.

All of the scraped content is available in the form of BitTorrent shares, so you can always download parts of it and spread them further.

The OP wants a convenient way to access this collection and play music from it.

Crusts like this generally require a lot of steam in the oven

Fair enough!

And shaping/forming a loaf that stays tall when being baked on a flat surface takes skill, lots of practice and experience.

Or a fairly inexpensive machine that will do it for you. Of course though, there’s a special pleasure in making a truly artisan bread with your own hands. But hey, it’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing. Best to see it in action.

But then again, I speak from the side of low-scale industrial baking. For a home baker, all this machinery will be an overkill.

Nuclear power is non-intermittent and can be used pretty much anywhere. With a push for small-scale reactors, there’s a good chance for smaller places to get their own nuclear power plant, reducing stress on the national grid, and for power plants to be constructed in a much shorter timeframe.

Also, both Russia and China have floating nuclear power plants that can be transported to regions with water access on demand.

Solar and wind are cool, and quite cheap by themselves, but energy storage is a massive and expensive headache and limited placement options mean the grid should be robust enough to accommodate them with minimal power losses.

Ready to be killed, I guess

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.

Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.

Lol, yes, it can be done, but it needs to be packed or cut from one side only, otherwise it will likely fall apart.

(Also it’s an ungodly abomination and there are certainly better options to do this with)

Baking in a rectangular shape allows you to make a space efficient bread that you can easily stack and transport. Also, it is very predictable, can fit neatly into your toaster, and can be cut in triangles.

Making bread on a flat surface allows you to minimize costs of entry (not only don’t you need the forms which are relatively cheap, you can go with simpler/cheaper ovens), and this kind of bread has a more pronounced crust, which many people like.

Also, rectangular bread is harder to leaven for a long period of time as it comes with numerous technological complications down the production line. This affects the aroma composition, making rectangular bread less attractive for those who want the traditional “bread” taste.

Baguette, as I already mentioned, has a unique crust and crumb texture defined by the shape and baking conditions. Many people like it that way.

ELI5: dough can take any shape you give it.

You can load the dough into a metallic shape and close it with a lid, and you’ll get picture 1.

Or you can make a ball out of it and leave it be on a flat surface, and it will naturally expand to look like picture 2.

Side question: narrow shape makes baguette have a more crispy texture, which many people like. It’s also usually produced using a special kind of sourdough, which makes it have unique and rich taste. People eat it as is (just biting it from one end to another) or make small open sandwiches by cutting it in slices and putting all sorts of toppings on top of them.

Beautiful answer!

A small point from someone working alongside bread industry - small bubbles in toast/sandwich bread are not due to the type of yeast used, but due to intentionally low time for second stage mixing and, as you mentioned, low time for resting and leavening. You can absolutely create huge bubbles using the very same yeast, though, if that’s your goal.

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

Also differs person to person, but I think there is a useful highlight in here.

Traditionally being the “dominant” gender, men are expected to show signs of attention towards women to “earn” their affection (which the meme is essentially about).

But when it comes the other way around, it both breaks the social script and gives men something they severely lack - feeling that they matter, that they are worthy of attention, that they can be loved for who they are and not for what they do. And when someone is ready to break traditional norms and actively wants to give you something you never even hoped to receive, it lets the guard down pretty rapidly.

Overall, the solution to both, in my eyes, is for women to show more of such behavior, normalizing women initiating relationships and showing their affection from the start.

The reason men often go after women despite being refused is that culture often mixes “no as no” and “no as playful yes”. If women would be casually able to initiate relationships, signals would get much clearer, sparing everyone a ton of discomfort and allowing to actually build the culture of consent. Also, there would be less space for manipulation through abusing people’s needs.

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

If God is truly this powerful, He’s a psychopath.

He can create us perfect and kind and loyal, and specifically chooses not to. Instead, He bullies us into serving Him, going for a murder spree in the meanwhile, knowing full well it is entirely avoidable.

All to show how much He loves us.
