Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.

(edit: the official TapTap's Cooking Adventure Thread🧵)

This one came out iffy but it's mostly my fault. I didn't want this one (missed the chance to pick)

Should have trimmed the green beans better, I added potato water back and shouldn't have, but it tastes good so who cares. I already put some of the potatoes in a tub so it looks unbalanced

Looking at #keyboards again, keychron seems like the top option for customizable tenkeyless, any other suggestions?

I'd like something a bit more colorful than black, maybe pink. Thinking tenkeyless, not sure about the even smaller ones. I do use the arrow keys sometimes

Every article about #mastodon vs #bluesky:

"Mastodo is so WEIRD and CLIQUEY! It's TERRIBLE! It only has a few MILLION users, it is DEAD."

"Bluesky is so WEIRD and CLIQUEY! It's WONDERFUL! It just reached a stunning HUNDRED THOUSAND users, it's SO ALIVE!!!"

My ground beef/etc is never super brown. Do I need higher heat, more cooking time, or what to fix that?

Tastes fine, but doesn't look as good for photos.

Alright, got 13 empty spice bottles, what am I missing?

Only things you actually use/recommend!

I didn't put black pepper, salt, Himalayan salt, or sugar in a bottle. Also not leaving the saffron in a pinch-able tin was probably a mistake but it looked better this way.

So how good is this Sussy Vide stuff anyway? I'm a Lazy Bitch but I always feel like I'm gonna screw up a steak in the oven. I like the concept but it sounds a bit fussy. And obviously I gotta pan sear it too right?

Do you sear then toss it in or finish with a sear? Do you need a special thingy or would I probably just use a pot I already have?

Another Analogue question:

The Duo will have a CD drive, but I don't have any NEC stuff. Is it possible that FPGA cores will let you play PS1/Sega CD/Saturn stuff on it via the real disk?

Also how collectable are the games for the systems the Duo naturally supports? Thanks to ebay and COVID "Entrepreneurs" I know I have high prices ahead of me in any system but...

Per last night's stream, I still maintain that #JackBlack did not get hired to be on #sesamestreet, he just actually found himself at Sesame Street one day and taught Elmo about Octagons and they just happened to record it

Something too rarely mentioned in articles bemoaning Mastodon is that my 500 followers on Mastodon give me many times more

engagement

than my 2500 on Twitter.

Thanks to no #Algoshit, people actually SEE your posts if they want to. It's actually a social network again instead of a rich-get-richer "hey did you see this 1 million retweets thing (which you probably did, because it got 1 million retweets, but here it is again)"

It's an interesting experience to watch something you've seen before but forget (or THINK you forget) while high. You feel so fucking smart.

Actually pot just makes me feel smart...which I actually am smart, I'm just so used to it it doesn't feel good anymore. (Ironically that might not be the best phrasing, but hey, I'm high)

((Also always been more of a "convey the meaning" kinda guy instead of flowering up the language.))

Voice acting is fascinating because I remember the acceptaby acted, emotionally stunning Silent Hill 2 bit of

"It's hot as hell in here"

"You see it too? For me, it's always like this"

Almost as much as the almost entirely pointless and hammily acted Silent Hill 1

"Have you seen a little girl? Short, black hair. My daughter."

And if you played both games I can almost guarantee you heard the voices as you read.

A thing to note about the Russel Brand thing is sexual abusers are almost ALWAYS serial offenders.

This is why it's common for multiple women to come forward at once (individually, intimidating, but sometimes when people find other victims it's emboldening).

Right-wingers love to call this smear campaigns, but in reality, smear campaigns like the one against Biden and the MANY MANY Project Veritas false accusations usually come from one person w/ no evidence.

are there 60% #keyboards with cherry mx browns (or equivalent)?

Thinking about replacing my current, I think it's a razer blackwidow. with my stream deck and CATS I could use the extra space and I'm not very impressed by the MX red...like, switches in it. I like knowing when it's actuated

"x is making people violent"

Looks at the grand total of human history

I'm...I don't want to alarm anyone, but I'm pretty sure we are just violent.

I use Steam and all but the "games shouldn't be more than $1" attitude so many people seem to have developed is really maddening. And definitely helped curate this mobile era of total shit.

Of course, we're still getting great single player premium games, so I don't think it's mattered toooooo much. But still very disapointing.

Do electric toothbrushes usually go bad pretty fast? My old electric toothbrush I found in my downstairs bathroom was already dead. This week my fancy Smart rechargeable one died (turns on but the motor stops), only 3? years old.

I guess the AA battery ones are cheap enough to replace, but the Bluetooth one with the app is NOT
