Seriously. What would be surprising is if they were not. Proprietary Software gonna Proprietary Software.

I’m fairly certain his conduct during the proceedings themselves would have landed me or anyone else in jail by now. (And/Or with a fine that required us to do more than lift up our couch cushions.)

People keep trying to convince me it’s not evidence of two justice systems.
But it is.
- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 2 weeks ago:
Frozen stuff works great, everything from fries to eggrolls.
You will start to get an idea how long things take after you have it. Many things now have airfryer instructions, or there are lots of “how to make xxx in an airfryer.”
Generic airfryer instructions are usually pretty close for ours, but any given model may have its own cookbook with times for different sorts of things (ours does) and after awhile you’ll get a feel for how to nudge generic instructions to fit your model.
For a very small number of specific kinds of breaded things, I’ll spritz them with cooking spray when they go in to help them get more like they were fried in oil, but that’s really personal preference and I only do it on a couple of things.
Get one with a big enough basket. Things need to be cooked in a single layer. You can pack it pretty full, but single layer is important.
- Comment on figs 1 & 2 3 weeks ago:
I feel fairly confident that the proportion of people who would say such a think is vanishingly small.
- Comment on figs 1 & 2 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but we don’t say “your ham has a tuna hoagie in it” because someone tossed the pig a tuna hoagie one time.
- Comment on figs 1 & 2 3 weeks ago:
I recently heard that the center of a fig is actually a dead wasp. That seemed unlikely, but I googled it. Turns out, it’s not true. But it’s closer to being true than you might expect.

Wow, I thought for sure this was BS, but just tried it and got the same response as OP and you. Interesting.

My fingers didn’t type what my brain was thinking, sorry. I can see how that makes no sense.

You’ve missed out on some lively debate then.

We can agree to disagree.

The usual argument against pre-emptive defederation goes something like, “Well we should wait to see what kind of influence they will be on the fediverse.”

en.wikipedia.org/…/Lawsuits_involving_Meta_Platfo…
theintercept.com/…/meta-gaza-censorship-warren-sa…
arstechnica.com/…/netflix-ad-spend-led-to-faceboo…
We know what kind of influence they will be. They will be the most anti-consumer, exploitative influence the law will allow, and probably a little bit more than that, because it’s been their entire history, and every few days we get another headline confirming that it’s who they are.
And while there is a lot they can do even if many instances refuse to federate with them, there’s no good argument for going along willingly, IMO.

Link this next time someone is complaining how unfair it is to refuse to federate with Threads.
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 1 month ago:
I hope when you eventually realize police aren’t to be trusted it’s not that you dug in your heels all the way until you had a tragic encounter with them that actually affected you. That seems to be the threshold for a great many folks, and it’s a huge contributor to the slow progression of police reform.
Good day to you.
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 1 month ago:
Cop statements aren’t evidence, they are cop statements. Should I link all the cases (Let’s start with Walter Scott) where what cops said was true wasn’t?
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 1 month ago:
Then why is your entire contribution to the thread a deflection of any suggestion of consequences?
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 1 month ago:
The narrative that all those officers, except for one, wanted the KIDNAP VICTIM to be shot and killed is so deranged and incomprehensible outside an American mindset.
The idea that you have to have wanted something to happen to face consequences for it happening is going to set a lot of folks free from prison though.

This is from 2020. You absolutely can use Little Snitch or a similar firewall to block this traffic.
We agree how sinister and dystopian it is to need to work against your hardware/os vendor for something like this though, right?

Everyone misquoting the guy telling you that you read the sentence wrong, and ignoring that you already said the breasts came out juicier in an air fryer. (they do)
- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 1 month ago:
I’m not here to convert you, but this is just as dismissive as OP. Yes it’s a convection oven. We also have a full size convection oven. It does not cook things as dramatically faster as an air fryer does. It’s not the same experience at all.
I say this as someone who literally said, “so it’s just a small convection oven” until we got one. We have used it literally every day since getting it ~2 years ago.
It’s not just any of these things:
- Toaster oven
- Small convection oven
- Small oven
There is so much air moving around in an air fryer that parchment paper without food holding it down gets immediately sucked against the circulating fan filter (which we learned the hard way) and lighter bits of food (like cooked bacon that you might toss in for a quick reheat) will swirl around inside the cook basket.
It may not be for everyone, but it absolutely does cook food faster than in a regular oven, sometimes by an astonishing amount. We have a short but significant list of things that we also think are noticeably better from an air fryer, and nothing I can think of that we’ve tried comes out worse.

Well, it’s unfortunate that you skipped the first part of my comment, but don’t let that dampen your oddly deep hostility.

“Read the wiki” in response to questions is literally Arch’s explicit community flavor. They used to plainly tell you at the forums that it would be the first response to any question that could be answered by the wiki. (They still may, I don’t currently run Arch)
Almost literally any other distro is a better choice if diving into the wiki isn’t how you want to start things with Linux.
This conversation can only happen by me being the person OP is mocking, BTW.
