  • Fancy peasant's gruel
  • Kallioapina Kallioapina 1w ago 100%

    Huh, this stirs some memories about a cabbage, carrots and potato 'gruel'/stew our mother used to make when I was a kid in the early 90's. Our country was in bad economic depression at the time, and our family was having it hard. I remember hating it as a kid.

    I think I'm gonna improvise a pot of something similar in the weekend, maybe I'll appreciate it more nowdays.

    Thank you for sharing.

    I'm just embracing my inner peasant in this ever increasing modern techno-feudalistic worldscape.

    Yep, nostalgia is a powerful thing. We used to eat it with vanilla sugar as kids, that works wonderfully well too imho.

  • My fancy peasant's gruel. Semolina gruel that turned into porridge like consistency (see I can afford the wheat, no need to water it down) with cut up wiener pieces in it. I'm sometimes fancy like this.

    Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim
  • Kallioapina Kallioapina 2w ago 100%

    Its working for me now, I tested it this morning. Even tried swithching the user agent back to Firefox and yep - Youtube gets magically some buffering problems with it.

    Close youtube tab, switch user agent back to chrome, clear cache and restart the browser: no buffering problems. What a bunch of assholes.

    I've reported this earlier to EU competition ombudsman, like a about a year ago, and they confirmed then that they were getting reports about the issue, Google of course denying the practice. Hopefully they are working on some punishment for Google in the background.

    What was the so called spiritual part of abstaining from these, or in in general, on this whole thing? No need to answer if you dont feel like it or whatever, just thank you for your insights.

    I have never encounteted a PWA that works better than a website OR an app - this from users actual usability viewpoint. They are a cancer, that sits right in between the worst of both worlds.

  • YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes

    Actually, does anyone with the knowhow know if the rules and filters made for uBlock work any differently in Chrome, Firefox or Safari? Arent they just html and javascript?

    I'm a humanist, and the last time I played with html was in the 90's, so fuck if I know about anything thats happening beyond the ui.

    There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.

    Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!

    And people like you are the reason I'm suspicious of all Canadians here. Actually met a yank who first identified himself as a Canadian. Wasnt too happy when he got told on his assholeness.

    Dont be an asshole, dont be a fake Canadian. Sorry for my suspicion to any actual Canadians.

    I dont mean to hate on Mullvad, but its got its problems too - mainly because it seems to be too unknown even to admins maintaining different services, bringing problems to its everyday use.

    I tried to start using Mullvad as my daily driver, but had to go back to FF because so many of our university's and its affliated services wouldnt work with it at all or would make it a pain to do simple tasks with all the shit web ui -services, portals and their logins that is the modern academia/work environment.

    Well, at least I educated about 4 service admins about the existence of Mullvad before going grudgingly back to FF, or rather with these past years controversies, SusFox.

    I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is 'ad', not add.

    Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It's also a security feature in the post-2000's internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

    You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.

    Started reading The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan as my new fiction book. Surprised that it seems pretty good for vampire fiction (though admittedly I have limited experience with the genre), at least the first 50'sh pages.

    As my non fiction I just finished reading Schools and styles of Anthropological Theory, ed. Matei Candea. Good enough brief overview of the development and larger discourses affecting anthropology as a discipline.

  • A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name. Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips. These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
