You should make another prediction now for what social networks will be like in another 7 years
Do you think Tabletop would be the right place to discuss Dimension 20 or other actual-play content or would that be better categorized in something like entertainment?
Thank you!
My wife and I met 8 years ago playing Dota 2. Now our friend group is all late 20s early 30s, and we mostly play pve games like Darktide a couple times a week, but when we can we also meet up for tabletops. We will definitely continue playing games since we enjoy them. My in-laws just retired and they have gotten really into pokemon go. My mom never really 'got' any game but now she's really into Lego and jigsaw puzzles. One of my friend's parents are also really into tabletops and will sometimes join us. It's super cool that you and your kids have a hobby that you share and bond over, and I hope to have that with my own child someday!
Honestly I didn't really think too much about it, I used to use a simple on-off rice cooker but it kept on burning and sticking on the bottom. I saw an article that said Zojirushi is the best and the rice is the same consistency from top to bottom, and it completely worked as advertised. Now we have a Zojirushi water boiler and steel waterbottles as well, all their stuff is so high quality.
I have a wheat allergy so I eat a lot of rice. I wanted the best rice cooker and got one from Zojirushi that uses a microcontroller with fuzzy logic to sense and compensate for if there is slightly too much or too little water. It does take noticeably longer for it to cook the rice, but it comes out perfect every time. It also has different modes for white rice, brown rice, semibrown rice, and rice porridge. The white rice setting is also perfect for quinoa, although for quinoa the water ratio is 1:2 instead of following the marked lines on the pot.
For rice porridge: I'll season with garlic salt and ginger, and cook it with onion and black mushroom. Serve with lime and jalopeno.
For quinoa: I like to substitute 25% of the quinoa with millet, and cook it with Consommé, golden flax seed, and lemon.
For brown rice: diced or shredded carrot works really well since the brown rice cooks for longer. I'll usually season with garlic salt, ginger, cumin, and curry powder.
For white rice: it normally has to be plain to add to something else like curry or a stir-fry, but my favorite white rice dish is cooking it with lots of bok choi, season with salt, fresh ginger, white pepper, sesame oil.
I'd really like Entertainment to have subcommunities for Movies, TV, and Streaming.
I appreciate the transparency especially the link to sh.itjust.works's update. As a newcomer, one thing that confuses me about the fediverse is how communities with different moderation policies can be federated together. My impression now is that a comment has to be moderated separately by each instance in which it appears, so either a larger number of moderators or more advanced moderation tools would be required compared to a similarly sized community in a centralized network. Hopefully you continue to have productive conversations with the other instances and these issues are eventually able to be resolved.
Pardon my confusion since I'm new to the fediverse as well, but isn't every Lemmy instance like the super instance you are describing? You can access any community on any instance from any other; there are commentors in this thread from beehaw.org, lemmy.world, lemmy.sdf.org, programming.dev, and many others.
That was a fascinating writeup, and those interjections of dialog were great! Never used elasticsearch, but I can definitely empathize with work grinding to a halt because a library has incomplete or outdated documentation. Missing object structure for a function's parameter was a recent one for me as well.
It's so bad I no longer even try looking for an official doc before going to chatgpt. Way more often than not it gives an explanation and sample implementation faster than searching for existing resources, and it's also so nice to just be able to ask a follow-up question and immediately get an answer.
There was something about the shape and color of the old wings that always made me thing there was an alert dot, like they didn't fit in. I really like the hexagon background, colors, and wings, in the new logo.
But I think the shape of the bee itself could be improved; I'd round bottom instead of having a stinger point. And if the thing on the top is a crown I think it should be a different color, otherwise I just have no idea what that thing on top is, maybe I just don't know enough about bee anatomy?
