  • With Induction Stoves, Chefs Discover a Foolproof Path to Perfection | From Michelin kitchens to home wok burners, induction delivers consistency that gas can’t match

    Jump

  • I plan on buying one of those countertop wok induction stoves. I hear enough good about them to want to try. Range oven, I need a new one and have planned on induction for a while

    Think NSA surveillance is bad? Come to Denmark—their surveillance includes your DNA. Literally.

    Jump

  • The US just pulls headline. I remember a long time ago seeing the CCTV setup in the UK and being pretty WTF is going on here. Then I remember Czech Republic talking about internment camps citing US Japanese internment camps as a good example of justification. Then I remember Italian court cases over seismologist not warning people enough/not being predictive enough to prevent deaths in a major earthquake. Or the groping of a girl and being let off because it didn't last enough time for it to be considered bad by the judge. For all the headlines the US has. Then of course I feel like it's been at least 15 years of trying to pass anti-encryption/anti-privacy laws. US makes headlines, but something about European conservatism/traditionalism/paternalism makes the whole continent feel like a powder keg to me. Also the neo-Nazis

  • What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

    Jump

  • Their only chance there was the late 90s to early 2000s. MS is one company compared to the totality of mega corporations using Linux and MS also uses a lot of Linux. More money at play in the server market than the general desktop OS market. Linux is the server OS

    The US government increasingly uses Linux. Other countries pick up Linux at a faster rate than the US. A higher percentage of people use MacOS today than 20 years ago

    Digimon Story Time Stranger Game's Trailer Previews Story

  • The link in "onto the next challenge" is to an Intel page

    Introduction to the Xe-HPG Architecture

    I was hoping it'd link to FEX-emu. Would have loved if they went full time on that. Still, age 23 and done all that. At 23 I finished college and by age 30 still felt like a junior developer, mid at best

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • Mobile desperately needs hardware with first class open source drivers and firmware to get away from Google/Apple/Microsoft controlled software platforms. Phones have been super powerful for a long time beyond what most need. We can take hit in theoretical peak performance to build up a better ecosystem until the market is large enough that the big money has to address the market

  • Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Valves the only one with a major digital store. Everyone else is making money off hardware margin and frequent hardware releases. I want a smaller one though. Pretty much a Switch 2 sized handheld. Maybe even smaller. Different levels of portability. Like I don't need to be on a device that can run at 15-30w like current Steam Deck competitors when I'm just trying to play Persona 5 on an airplane. You can play that set at lowest TDP on a Steam Deck and hit 30fps

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • If email tried to make it today rather than the 90s/early 2000s, that shit would have never been adopted by the big players. They'd all have come out with their own proprietary mail system. Google's doing their take on embrace, extend, extinguish

  • Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

    Jump

  • Screw google. I'm buying phones that can run postmarketos or any normal Linux applications mobile OS. Need to grow the normal Linux phone market. Someday there'll be a Steam Deck moment for mobile operating systems

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Got to grassroots a more open platform over some decades like desktop Linux. Once a RISC-V phone comes out running some relatively normal Linux distro is out, I'll buy it as a tinker with phone. At least it'll be a portable battery powered device to run full desktop Linux when docked

  • The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis

    Jump

  • Democrats all mostly sound like most lawyers. Very trained but not vocally talented enough to be the local news anchor. Very mediocre orators for a very long time only getting by because nationally Republicans sounded just as robotic until Trump. Democrats need people that are fiery and probably funny. Bill Clinton and Obama, both win off Republican failings and incumbency being good things at the time as stability was valued. Reagan/Bush recession and Ross Perot for Bill Clinton. Iraq/Afghanistan and great recession for Obama. Incumbency advantage for the presidency died by 2016 and Hilary Clinton didn't have the sound bites trump could churn out

    Democratic voters and orgs need to elevate the vocal firebrands across the country. Local elections through federal. Public engagement matters. Social media metrics. 2016 Chuck, we'll get 2 moderate Republicans for each blue color democrat we lose, Schumer not getting sacked from party leadership was terribly uninspiring. Same with Pelosi at the time especially with the uninspiring reaction the democratic house had with the 2018 young progressive squad that got voted in

  • Benchmark leak for 'Valve Fremont' could be a Steam Machine running SteamOS, with an RX 7600-level GPU

    Jump

  • That would need to be low end gaming PC, not that that's a bad experience just that such a PC shouldn't be much if any more expensive than a PS5. Maybe it'll be real cheap for OEMs to clear off the shelves of 7600 cards but I wouldn't want to recommend anyone anything less than an rx 9060. Good performance bump over the 7600 and FSR4

  • UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole

    Jump

  • I'm certain a lot of politicians and veterans are bitter over the lack of universal adoration they get in their own countries. Politicians certainly annoyed with how easy it is for victims of war and veterans against war speaking out against enlistment. Politicians and the rich want their populaces to be patriots whereas the Internet makes people jaded when learning their countries history and present in detail.

    I'm certain that's the real reason internet censorship picked up steam. The Internet has poisoned the well for so many countries when trying to build out some unified national message of righteous action. Can't like how negative the public reacts to bills described as for child safety. Internet makes it real easy to call it another manipulative cry of wolf. It's got to be the #1 marketing trick for the rich and powerful. #2 being those foreigners are evil. But shit now people see people across the world are mostly just getting by not even participating in politics or don't even have any voting power and are just caught in the crossfires of the power hungry

    Today there are no heros from the invasions across Asia west to east. In recent times you don't get a marketing bump for fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya, wherever. That's problematic for patriotism and public support for future war fighting. Every government leader now has a mixed legacy while alive that makes their memory mute in history compared to WW2 and earlier leaders who committed just as much or likely far worse terrors but enjoyed widespread domestic support while in power and adoration in retirement.

    National anthems before sporting events are tacky whereas just like 15 years ago damn near everyone bought into those. I swear one day there will monitoring software and crackdowns on hitting the mute button during national anthems and commercials

    Tales of Xillia Remastered Revealed for Consoles and PC

  • Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Real-Time Combat Is Really Changing Things Up

    Jump

  • Monster Hunt Stories has some solid drama. You play as natives that try to live in harmony I'm with monsters but sometimes a monster prophecy happens and you got prevent the monster apocalypse with your monster friend and villagers while uncovering the human conspiracy behind it all. Simple common premise for children stories that's always good when the drama is executed well

    Doesn't bombard you with a ridiculous amount of talking cutscenes where people say nothing like modern Pokemon games. At least since Sun and Moon but maybe all the 3DS Pokemon games started over explaining everything

  • Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Real-Time Combat Is Really Changing Things Up

    Jump

  • We need to hype up more Digimon Stories and Monster Hunter stories. Their narratives have so much more effort and the designs at least for Digimon can encompass a lot of creativity like Pokemon. Dragon Quest Monsters hopefully grows too

  • LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

    Jump

  • My understanding is that Proton Docs web editor is a markdown editor and I've seen people complain about the limitations there but I'm not a power user to compare with. Don't know how well collaborative annotation/suggestions/replace would work with markdown. Fully out of my knowledge base but interested in learning what office text document abilities can't be done in markdown. There's still ODF for whatever markdown can't do

  • Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface

    Jump

  • This guy's got to know pervasive would come off bad. Ambient bad too

  • A record low level of Americans drink, and a majority now say alcohol is bad for your health

  • I'm of the opinion that there's no reversing a fertility crisis until we make teenage pregnancy great again. A 25 year old has seen too much, knows too much

  • Far-right populists top polls in Germany, France and Britain for the first time

    Jump

  • Colorism and religion. Like Jews being made to wear an armband for easy identification. Black people in Europe are easily identified. East and southeast Asians are easily identified visually. The darker skinned middle eastern peoples are easy to identify visually as non-European.

    Every country has historic minorities but it's more recent that migration across huge distances became common so that adjacent skin tones and visually identifiable features from far away became common in huge numbers.

    In Australia, pretty much all the mostly genocided countries, there were programs to breed the savage out of natives. That being taking children mostly young girls and raising them to be married off to white men and after enough generations of this, they would visually look European and would graduate to being a white person.

    Europeans in discrimination discourse seem to acknowledge far less easy visual markers for discrimination than the mostly European descendant inhabited former colonies where multiculturalism would be just as much colorism as regional differences in tradition old and new. Like in the US, Canada, etc significant migrations of people from the former states of Yugoslavia. Their children joined the default American or Canadian identifier in those countries because they're visually European descendant and no longer have the accent. But even with an accent because they come from the adjacent culture that dominates in the US and they fit the color, they face less default discrimination than minorities with easily distinguishable visual differences. They can't easily be identified as outsiders until they speak but if they can nail a close enough to a common domestic regional accent, then they can be treated like a native better than the people with native American, African, Asian characteristics

    You have natives, native Hispanic, black, Asians that have been in those countries for decades to long before Europeans arrived but are identified with a qualifier. Native American, African American, Asian American, Latin American.

    Like I don't think I've ever seen a Europeans call China diverse because Han Chinese is distinct from Manchu which is distinct from Korean which is distinct from Dai. Uyghurs look distinct enough that white people see them as distinct from Chinese but I have not seen that same for Hui people or all the other distinct Muslim minority groups in China.

    The same with India. Colorism and religious and ethnic visual markers that vary significantly in visual identification that cause groupings and discrimination in local communities to federal governance. These two are geographically large with huge population countries.

    In the same way Germany and Spain have distinct historic minority groups, so do Japan and Vietnam before getting to immigration to those countries from like India let alone the large ethnic Chinese populations in those countries but I'm certain almost everyone in Europe and America would look at them as monoethnic. People out here generally don't look at a Chinatown in Thailand like they do a Chinatown in the UK and Thailand and China are right next to each other but historically have vastly different languages, different religions (I'm including the difference of folk religions and school of buddhism and the resultant syncretism). I never hear these countries spoken up for their experience in handling minority groups and multiculturalism because they have historic, tracing back centuries to over a thousand years, old minority groups that aren't easily visually identifiable. It's different than modern migration minority groups. An Indian minority in Vietnam is far different than one of the common historic minorities of Vietnam that trace damn near the whole minority groups existance to modern day Vietnam

    So minority groups like Basque and Catalans will experience minority life far differently than people from Africa and Asia. Just subsetting to Muslims, Muslims from northern Africa and the Middle East can expect different treatment from people they've never met based on skin color and Muslims can expect different treatment if they look Malaysian, Indonesian, Hui, etc because in Europe and the anglosphere, Muslims aren't expected to look like southeast asians or chinese

  • A record low level of Americans drink, and a majority now say alcohol is bad for your health

    Jump

  • I'll drink occasionally and eat an edible occasionally. Pretty much only socially. I don't get the people who obsessively have to explain why what they're using recreationally is actually healthy. Been around people like that since I was a pre-teen. About middle aged now and they're all a bunch of burnouts including the sad they missed out in their teens/early 20s that decided to dive in late 20s because they watched all the YouTube videos on the benefits. All burned out. Not just alcohol and weed. All my acid, shrooms, ketamine, 2c-i, peyote, dmt, whatever friends - damn near all of them burned out and talk like teenagers in their 30s and 40s. Most generally don't even they're enlightened anymore and just want to chill with drugs

    Moderation folks. Don't make drugs your religion or personality and you won't have early emotional burn out in life
