Nutritional Yeast is a good savory seasoning that supplements b12
Iodized salt is a good source of iodine and doesn’t really taste different from the fancy salts when it’s dissolved in a sauce or stock, so use it as your cooking salt and you’ll be fine

Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 year ago:
While accurate, we’ll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 year ago:
Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such

Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US
- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 1 year ago:
I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!
In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.
The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.
I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.

- Comment on What's the difference between a proxy and a VPN 1 year ago:
In a technical sense, a consumer VPN service is really more of an encrypted proxy than anything else. It tries to obfuscate what network traffic and activity you’re actually participating in by both appearing as the endpoint for your connection, and the destination for the connection of the sites you visit and internet services you use.
A true VPN does more than that, allowing multiple computers that are not sharing a router to communicate with each other as if they are. Certain IP addresses are local-only, such as any IP starting with 192.168.x.x. This means that when you access the broader internet, your IP is different than the one used when you try to use your WiFi printer on your same network. They’re both addresses, but one is the address of your whole network while the other is the address of your computer in that network.
For businesses and other organizations, a VPN is a useful way to allow users to connect using these local-only addresses without physically being connected to the network those local addresses are valid in. You don’t have to expose the printer to the Internet, you just need to expose the VPN service to the Internet, and then allow VPN users to connect to the network when they need to use the printer
- Comment on Magic Mirror on the Wall, who has the smallest p of them all? 1 year ago:
Which is sad because a lot of science is just ruling things out. We should still publish papers that say that if we do an experiment with too small of a sample, we get an inconclusive result, because that starts to put bounds on how strongly a thing gets affected, if an effect occurs at all.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 1 year ago:
East Asian languages aren’t pictograms. Most use phonetic alphabets. Among those that don’t, very few characters use visual resemblance to convey meaning, and no language uses primarily pictographical characters.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 1 year ago:
While true that the term originates from Japanese, it’s important to note that emoji is a loanword that has been adapted into english by changing its pronunciation subtly, and replacing its spelling with a phonetically similar one in an alphabet not used in Japanese.
This is similar to when words and phrases are used without much adaptation in the middle of sentences that are otherwise in a different language. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about English and how it mixes loanwords (such as “calque”), calques (such as “loanword”, where individual parts of the word are translated then recombined) and entire unchanged terms (such as “je ne sais quoi”) freely, and to varying degrees depending on where you are and who you talk to.

That’s why, with any potentially lucrative hobby where success is based mostly on luck, you should only do it for fun while you save enough money to try it out full time to see how you like it. But you shouldn’t quit your day job until you have some GOOD evidence that you’re not going to be dirt poor if you pivot to doing your hobby full-timd

- Comment on color-coded and pool-approved 1 year ago:
Well that’s also true with 2 colors if the bros just make a checkerboard pattern.
What you mean is that an arbitrary number of bros could section the pool into any arbitrary collection of shapes and with only those 4 ball colors you could guarantee there’s a way to fill the sections where each bro-bordered segment has a different color on either side.

- Comment on Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG 1 year ago:
So if your character abilities aren’t just multipliers for a number-based system under the hood, it’s not an RPG?
- Comment on Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG 1 year ago:
I mean, define ‘RPG’ because to me, any time you choose how your character evolves and grows as the game progresses through a story, that’s an RPG.
- Comment on Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG 1 year ago:
I don’t think those genres are mutually exclusive. I haven’t played RDR1 but RDR2 is definitely an Action-Adventure RPG. You level up Arthur’s stats throughout the game and can choose different moral paths that affect the ending. That’s playing a role.
