In case you want a good recipe for sauce:

• One can puréed tomatoes
• One can diced tomatoes
• Spices. This is whatever your taste is, like garlic, onion powder, the seven components of Italian seasoning, white pepper, hot pepper flakes, etc.; I recognize this is kind of “restofthefuckingowl”, but I just have a big Mediterranean mix I keep in a jar.
• Kale leaves, torn
• Crushed sliced almonds (bag of sliced almonds and crushed by hand)
• Sour cream (I used Tofutti vegan sour cream; can’t attest to dairy-based)
• Olive oil
• Diced, sautéed oyster mushrooms

I went about this in a dumb way and only sautéed the oyster mushrooms, but for better flavor, you could sautée with olive oil, crushed garlic, spices, almonds, kale, and oyster mushrooms, then pour the tomatoes and sour cream on top of that once you feel they’re cooked well enough.

I know that’s high-effort compared to jarred, but the flavor is really something. Take out everything but the tomatoes, olive oil, and spices, and you can still have a really good but almost-no-effort sauce.

I would honestly recommend against Ubuntu. I had the same issue: tried Ubuntu because it’s “the beginner distro”, and it turns out it wasn’t that at all. Ubuntu for me was a cobbled-together piece of shit with a terrible UI, corporate enshittification, and a major breakage around every corner. After a while dual-booting on my laptop, it started taking ~4 minutes to boot into it. Windows, meanwhile, was taking about 30 seconds. It also nuked my config twice, so everything I’d set up to mitigate Ubuntu’s default “person who designed this just had their eyes dilated” trash was undone. I quit Linux for years before giving it another try, because if this broken trainwreck was the “beginner” experience, why would I want to go further?

If you want KDE (which I think is the best DE and it’s not even a little close), I think you’ll find a nicer experience in something like Fedora. Fuck, I think you’d experience less maintenance burden with something like CachyOS, although please don’t treat that as a recommendation. I use EndeavourOS now, and I would genuinely go out and buy a macOS device if my only Linux distro option were Ubuntu (that’s not high praise of macOS) on the grounds that it’s such a poorly designed hunk of dogshit.

You’re putting up a generous definition of “white”. Trump’s face color is more saturated than that of most Latinos I know.

We actively teach kids to pattern match and “guess” what the other words are from the ones they recognize.

Unless you’re talking about something totally different, that just sounds like using roots and context clues – a normal, healthy, and constructive way of understanding language.

Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don’t deserve to be dragged down to the same level as the pond scum with a badge that did this.

We need one of these for every field.

Yeah, I saw the comment in the report; the Lemmy devs wisely keep that information static. As long as they don’t change it back, I’ll let this be a warning.

The inverse of that South Park episode where Butters pretends to be a girl to steal their future-predicting technology.

Rod Blagojevich. I can safely assume the uploader hasn’t been rightfully convicted of any of the reprehensible acts Trump has issued pardons for.

Especially ironic given Trump pardoned this corrupt piece of shit.

I feel like this video has somewhat interesting bits sprinkled within, but for the most part, it sets up a problem most people already recognize, never actually explores why it happens (besides vaguely “money”, which I think anyone could guess), and then interviews Don Norman to give the most obvious “no shit” and high-level explanation for creating intuitive designs. We also get the solution to the door problem – which is also trivially obvious.

Vox imo is usually good and in-depth (at least their written work is), so while inoffensive, this really surprised me.

Oh, you’re going to have to elaborate on this. I want to feel your suffering.

Hai, froggy.

NDT’s not even going to mention that Santa probably solved or approximately solved the traveling salesman problem for a complete graph of several hundred million vertices embedded in a spherical topology?

efforts to extend Xorg’s life or replace it with similar alternatives continue.

This is 100% true, but the efforts are negligible and not even worth consideration.

• Xorg maintainers are doing just that: maintaining it (and, for the most part, begrudgingly). It will continue to exist for a long time, but that’s the only remarkable thing about it.
• XLibre is made by some anti-vaxx conspiracy dipshit who thinks ^ is an exponentiation operator in C and who got kicked off Xorg for being a moron who did functionally nothing of any importance while carelessly breaking things like the ABI. Enormous quantity but zero quality to speak of. It will go nowhere and only has any crumb of relevance because of the maintainer’s virtue signaling.
• Phoenix basically just started, yet Linux outlets are tripping over themselves to report on it, showing there’s very little real work to speak of in this space. It’s a nothingburger of a story. It doesn’t even do basically the only thing X11 is even good for anymore, which is support legacy applications.

As GNOME and KDE drop X11 and DEs like Cinnamon adopt Wayland, more and more actively maintained applications will stop giving a shit about X11. Even if they don’t explicitly not support it, none of the developers will be using it, and most of the userbase won’t either; thus, applications’ support for X11 will just rot away if it isn’t outright deprecated. Obviously X11 will always have a base of legacy applications, but you’re going to be seriously hard-pressed even two years from now to find someone who would use X11 over Wayland – except for specific and severely outdated hardware, conspiracy nutjobs, and the rare case where XWayland doesn’t properly support a legacy application.
