How is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

Thats so cool, thanks for the plant milk history lesson!!

Thats bit of history is super cool, thanks for sharing! I will remember that

While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

While that’s true I don’t think Bernie is trying to say every district, he’s disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can’t be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

(Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn’t been a bad representative I’m excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)

Thanks for posting this :)

I can’t get to the store very often for medical reasons so I’d been looking for ways to eat more fresh veg that dont go bad immediately. I’ll have to check out some of the recipes mentioned

This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)

It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I’m not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved

Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you’re hoping to build with more people?

Man this sits at such a messy juncture in my eyes. I’d like folks to be safer. I don’t think policing is a great way to protect folks.

At the same time increasing the dependence on surveillance and tigher integration of surveillance with policing is not a solution without grim risks, that I think ought to be included in that conversation

Man, thats cool as fuck

That looks tasty af!

Holy SHIT Godot is moving fast, the page is like a mile long!?

Carbonara is delicious and its definitely not a recent invention

Wheres the revolution by depeche mode is pretty good :)

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ll have to keep paying attention to them. I wish vegan dairy things would get cheaper. Especially since the processes involved in making some of them them often dont seem like they should be that expensive.

Oats are dirt fucking cheap and you can make them into oat milk at home with a blender (I dont have a blender 🥲), why does oat milk cost so much?? I know cows milk is like massively subsidized but part of me feels like its also gotta just be a tax from it being a specialty product, on top of not being a commodity the same way cows milk is.

Dairy has definitely seemed harder to reduce than meat so far, mostly just cause dairy alternatives are just considerably more expensive. Vs like comparing chickpeas/lentils/beans with pork or chicken, where the legumes are just way more affordable

I have an eating disorder and am disabled and unemployed (ie poor.). I’m literally in the process of cutting down on animal products as I can anyway, thats why I’m talking about finding ways to replace stuff and it being easier to cut out meat. I already have my why, and yes, it is actually hard, some people’s circumstances are easier place from which to make a given sacrifice than others.

There is no ethical consumption, and there are a million ways to be fighting the injustices of the world. No one is doing all of them, including you. I’m doing the best I can.

That looks fuckin delicious!

I’m not vegan myself but I’ve heard vegan cheeses have gotten better, how do they hold up these days?. Theyre probably cost prohibitive for me so I’ve mostly been learning incidentally vegetarian dishes (I’ve found it harder to sub or cut out dairy than meat so far), but its always cool to learn about interesting food stuff!

Thats really good for folks to know, thanks for mentioning it!

I’ve not seen this with potatoes before! Maybe I’ll try this when I make chickpea curry sometime

I do like to add chopped peanuts on top for some crunch though :) it makes the chickpea texture more enjoyable for me

To add to all the other answers about what to use and whatnot: try a few distros and desktops out by putting them on a flash drive and booting from the flash drive (this is the same process for typical installations)

Distro, or who the linux based OS is built, updated, and distributed by, mostly matters long term, but something that will keep working and be stable (in the colloquial sense, not technical sense like for servers), and that has a friendly and welcoming community, are definitely things to look for. Mint and ubuntu both have stellar reputations in both of these regards, though many folks (including me) have issues with decisions being made by the ubuntu folks these days. Fedora is pretty stable but has less of a big community with support for new people, and manjaro has a lot of newer users and is built around serving newer linux users, but the project is sometimes run in an awkward way that can cause issues if you’re not choosing to manage your packages with intentionality (thats what I hear anyway). Debian is rock solid, and I dont know much about the community, but the versions of software available in the repos may be old unless you’re installing a flatpak

Keep in mind, not all distros will support every desktop, so you may find your chosen desktop isnt available on the distro you find most interesting. You can theoretically install whatever desktop on whatever distro, but as a new user I dont reccomend doing this.

Definitely try out a few different desktops. “Desktop environments” are bundles of software that make up the desktop graphical user interface, and will make a big difference in the look and feel, and general user experience that you have on linux. There are a bunch of options- the two biggest projects are GNOME and Kde plasma. Gnome has a reputation for being more mac-like out of the box and has very specific workflows and usage patterns, and kde, more windows like and flexible to what the user wants. But both are customizable. Kde has lots of built in settings and options, gnome offers very few, but supports user made extensions that change the desktops look and behavior. Give both a try and try out the customizations for each (play with kde settings, see if you can make it more what you want. Install some gnome extensions, see what the options look like). Cinnamon is another desktop thats very windows-like but has a great user experience. Xfce is a well run project but predominantly aimed at being lightweight so it runs well on older hardware, you’re less likely to be in its target demographic
