  The device you’re looking for is called a coffee syphon. Like this one from hario www.hario-canada.ca/products/hario-syphon-tca-2

  I’m waiting for it come back in to style. I’ve pitched getting beige racks with this on the side en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn’t worth rewriting them.

  Plenty of languages around now that don’t have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.

  Now a days many businesses choose Go.

  I’ve been saying this. I’m curious to see who wins out. In this case it’s populist bullshit vs American coffee retailers. Let’s see who comes out on top.

  Part of that joke though is that they’re both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.

  No it’s because they take a horse sized chunk out of you when they bite you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a fast charger too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My one plus can charge 0 to 100 in about that time.

  It does this by moving some of the charging circuit into the charger and having 2 cells in the battery.

  Probably just gold vinyl that would only last a couple years anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just my hardware? It is not your hardware

  Am i using linux just wrongly for years? Not really

  Is it my fault? Not really

  The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss.

  Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.

  I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.

  All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?

  Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

  If you were a good manager you would have the skill to successfully manage that and everyone would be happy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

  At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

  They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

  The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.

  Doesn’t have to last a life time, just till their old enough to change their dumb name to something less “unique”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children is bugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How can the rules be more lax? More than half of aita reads like rage bait written by chat for.

  Care to elaborate?

  I use the app from the AUR and I don’t think I’ve had a single problem in 3 years.

  I would be perfectly content if it was just a content update.

  The word cancelled has lost all meaning.

  Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

  www.cookingforengineers.com is one I enjoy. The recipe charts are pretty much all you need but the more detailed bits can help.
