Als je de keukens uit andere landen wilt verkennen is dit echt een briljant boek. De vraag erachter is “als in dit land vegan de norm was, hoe zagen de klassiekers er dan uit?” Dus niet “vervang de kip door vega kipstukjes” maar “walnoten horen ook bij deze keuken, dus doen we die ipv gehakt”. (En veel tofu, seitan en tempeh.)
Te “from scratch” voor ons op het moment, helaas.

Why are we this deep into Covid and 2025 A.D. and you’re getting “would you feel comfortable if I put on a mask” when you’re in the exam room? Like, that whole office should know your respirator and air filtration preferences before you confirm that appointment time. There should have been at least one uncomfortable conversation with the office staff via phone/email long before you roll up to their reception desk.

Maybe you or somebody you know has a #Windows10 computer, which works perfectly fine, but will lose support on October 14 because it cannot be updated to Windows 11 for hardware support reasons.
Please, do not turn the computer into unnecessary e-waste but keep using it and give it a new life by installing #Linux on it. There are plenty of advantages in doing so, the biggest one being it's waaaayyy cheaper.

In één klap snapte ik waarom de pogingen tot een inclusievere wetenschap gedoemd zijn om te mislukken https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/in-een-klap-snapte-ik-waarom-de-pogingen-tot-een-inclusievere-wetenschap-gedoemd-zijn-om-te-mislukken~b17bb137/

The main argument I've heard for having only buttons for volume control is so it can be controlled by a remote or software, and while that prevents using potentiometers, I don't understand why that somehow prevents using a rotary encoder for volume control. Sure, you don't have nice hard stops at the max and min volume, but twisting a knob is still much better than having to button mash volume up/down

I do laundry at my aunt and uncle’s house and take them dinner as thanks. Part of the evening ritual is watching the news, which is jaw-droppingly off the hook for someone who gets most of her news from Mastodon and word of mouth. The ads are Very Special, too. I am sooooo far out of their target audience it’s like an alien culture.

I'm so deeply ad-blocked and click-bait blocked (and I don't really do things like Netflix or cable) that when I see an add on a screen on the subway I'm like a person from the past and horrified, scandalized, astonished, and generally much less able to cope than most people I think.
Because it's the only video ad I've seen all week ... maybe longer.

Calling yourself "the best Node.js framework" with no further qualifications or context is a surefire way to make me distrust your project...

A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other thing 1/2 ☀️
Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉
