Forget other “forever games,” isn’t TikTok like the biggest competition for gamers time, attention, and money these days?

Thank god. It’s been 3/4 of a year, and we’ve got what? 2 so far?

My mom came from the UK. Even though I was born in the US, it was long enough ago that I also have British Citizenship by default (even though I’ve only ever spent 4 weeks of my life there on vacations). Filed the paperwork and got my British passport last year just in case….

My M1 MacBook Air has 8GB RAM, and it grinds to a halt every time I get more than 10 browser tabs open. Sometimes when waking from sleep, it’s like 5 minutes before the thing becomes responsive again…. So no, 8 GB is not enough in this day and age.

I’ll stick to my 30-40 olives, thanks.

Isn’t that what the secret service is for?

Well, then what happens when you make things so expensive that people can’t afford their consumer goods anymore?…

I’ve made homemade sushi before… it’s actually really tasty and not too difficult. Hardest part is getting the rice right.

Steak. It’s surprisingly low effort to get a really tasty one, just gotta know the process.

Salt and throw in a low temp oven with a temp probe alarm, then go and have fun. When it hits temp, pan sear for 60 per side and you got something tasty with like 3 min working time.

My mom just never made em good. Cook em up right (don’t overcook so they go all sulfury) and add some good seasoning (and onions), and you’ve got something really tasty!

HDR, or Dolby Vision? From my research, anything less than the Panasonic UB820 either has missing features, or longevity issues.

Even still, 180 euro is well above the under $40 you can lots of DVD and even Standard Blu Ray

Personally, I grabbed a MakeMKV compatible UHD optical drive from eBay for $150, and just remux my discs to Plex… and then use CoreELEC on the Ugoos AM6B+ to ensure proper Dolby Vision and Lossless Audio support…. but I know that’s not exactly a mainstream option.

 

Tuesday Night Special:

  • Kimchi (store bought)
  • Oven Roasted Cauliflower

Today’s Memorial Day special was USDA Prime Ribeye from Costco, homemade potato salad, and sautéed cauliflower.

Steak was cooked on a Weber grill at 225 till internal temp of 105, then seared in blazing coals for one minute per side. Came out a perfect medium rare!

So lets say my home instance is Instance A, but I'm browsing Community 1 in Instance B. Now in that community I see a comment that I want to reply to with a link to a comment I saw in Instance C, community 2, just because I think it's the most relevant to the discussion.

If I use the URL from the 2 chains "link" icon, that will send users to https://instance.a/comment/####### on my home instance. So that will send anyone from another instance who follows my link, to my instance and log them out of their account....

If I use the URL from the rainbow network "link" icon, it will send the user to https://instance.c/comment/#######, thus logging them out of their account on their instance (unless instance c happens to be their home).

But what about users coming across the conversation from Instance B? Or Instance D or F, or H? Is there a way to format the URL for that link such that anyone can follow it without moving to another instance, and/or logging out of their home instance?

This feels to me like it would be an important core feature of a platform like this.... otherwise when sharing ideas, usability becomes... challenging.
