So wouldn’t the fees be proportional to the price? The added taxes on a tiny cheap holiday home would be cheap too.

Those are all protocols for accessing an entire calendar or sharing your whole calendar, not for general-purpose inviting one user to one event.

Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

I agree with you, but politics is complicated. If she felt like continuing to fight for nuclear at that time would be unpopular, it might not have been worth it. It probably would have made it impossible to achieve other goals.

Bulk mayo makes sense if you’re a restaurant or cafeteria or running a summer camp or something like that. Probably not for many other people.

I think there’s a huge range of stuff that’s legal but that many people might want to filter out because it’s gross or disgusting.

The tag “NSFL” may have been created for the most egregious pictures (that might be illegal in some cases), but it was generally applied to a much wider range of stuff in practice.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

Chromium and Android really are open-source. There are hundreds of products like Electron and Fire OS built on top of them without any involvement or consent from Google.

Just because Google Chrome and Pixel phones have some proprietary code doesn’t mean that Android and Chromium aren’t open.

Actually, just changing the file name doesn’t change the format. If it works, it’s because whatever place you uploaded to already supported webp.

If you download a webp file and you really want jpg, you need to actually convert it, not just slap .jpg on the end.

It’s also just an open file format. Anyone could implement it, and in fact I found dozens of completely independent implementations of webp decoders on GitHub in various languages.

There really is no secret ulterior motive in this case.

Yes, anyone can write a book! If you have an idea, write it!

If your only goal is to finish a book, check out https://nanowrimo.org/ for inspiration and support just for to force yourself to write and keep writing!

If you want to publish it, self-publishing is surprisingly cheap, if you’re happy if you only sell a few hundred copies, many just to friends and family.

If you want to publish a real novel that appears in bookstores and gets featured and advertised, you need to submit it to publishers…and be prepared for LOTS of rejection. Some of the BEST novelists I know write 10 books for every 1 they get published. Now imagine the worst writers!

My prediction: verified video will start to become a thing.

Phones will be able to encode a digital signature with a video that certifies the date, time, and location where the video was captured. Modifying the video in any way will invalidate it.

Same for photos.

People will stop believing photos and video that don’t have a verifiable signature. Social networks and news organizations will automatically verify the signatures of all photos and videos they display.

Technically this is already possible today, it just needs to become mainstream and the default.

I’d create a GitHub issue and discuss it with the developers first. As long as users can opt out it might be reasonable.

But having a lot of people use the extension in the meantime would prove the demand.

Lemmy is more like Reddit, Mastodon is more like Twitter.

In other words: Lemmy has communities (subreddits) and hierarchical comments for each post. Mastodon doesn’t have either of those things, but it has following users and following hashtags.

Despite being different, they have some interoperability because they use the same federation protocol.

I like allrecipes because it has lots of variations for the same recipe and reviews for each one.

No, it’s not perfect. Reviews suffer from a first-mover advantage.

But…I can often get a really good idea if I search for three recipes for the same thing and then compare what they have in common and where they differ. The comments are great, too - they point out flaws and potential substitutions.

Curated recipe sites are great, but very few of them have good quality control - there are some excellent recipes, and also some duds that you really wonder how they made it in there.

No. The GPL for Linux applies to the Linux kernel.

GPL only says that one particular program has to stay open. It doesn’t say that everything else on the same computer has to be GPL.

Most Linux distros include software with a wide variety of licensed. Many people run commercial software on top of Linux.

Android doesn’t have to be open-source. Just because it uses the Linux kernel doesn’t mean the rest of the OS has to be open-source.

Android is open-source because Google wanted it to be. They wanted to monetize it differently, not by charging money for the OS.

Most people take one 3-month driving class when they’re 15 or 16, then take one test, then never get tested again for the rest of their life.

Actually, open-source software can be great for accessibility and I’ve been testing Lemmy with a screen reader.

Overall Lemmy is pretty close right now once a few roadblocks are removed. The audio captcha was broken, I helped fix that in the code just a couple of days ago but it hasn’t been released yet (at least not in lemmy.world).

After that I mostly see more subtle issues, not complete deal breakers. I haven’t started looking at moderator features, though.

I wonder how long before we start seeing some plausible but fake AMAs
