@vegan

anyone know a brand that sells graham crackers without honey or palm oil? I can't seem to find any that are

Cleveland

@urbanism

"In those metros, pedestrian-centered places are within easy reach of people of color, people with low income, and people with less educational attainment. Cleveland topped the report's "Social Equity Index" rankings; Baltimore, Cincy, Detroit and Philly also made the top 10, while St. Louis landed at number 11."

"Cleveland's current mayor has announced an initiative to transform the Ohio community into a 15-minute city."

how to cook plain scrambled JustEgg?

@vegan

I've never cooked scrambled chicken eggs so telling me to do it like that is useless. Their website is terrible (on mobile at least) and search engines don't work like they used to... I just want to know how long until it's cooked, if I need to put oil in the pan, and is a spatula really necessary over a spoon? What's this about flipping and curdling? I'm totally lost here. I've scrambled tofu before- is this the same?

If you have , do alternative fonts in apps help with the reading experience?

If yes, are Atkinson Hyperlegible or OpenDyslexic useful fonts to use with ? Are there others (that are freely redistributable).

The attached screenshots show what this would look like.

Please boost for reach.

duckweed,

@Tusky something where lowercase l and uppercase I aren't identical, please. and without mismatched spacing between numbers/letters

duckweed, to linuxphones

can an average person use a linux phone?

@linuxphones

I've been reading some articles about mobile Linux and many of them state one must be an "advanced user" or that the software isn't secure. How true is this?

I already use Linux on my laptop, but I'm not a software developer or anything like that. Would I be able to slap a new OS onto an old Android phone and be on my way, or would I run into problems?

duckweed,

@InFerNo mastodon has shorter character limits than lemmy

duckweed, to saltlakecity

Which American city is best for raising free children?

@citylife

With 90s-and-earlier style independence. Could it be Salt Lake City? Inspired by this:

"Utah Free Range Parenting Law [...] says that letting your kids play outside, walk to school, wait briefly in the car (under some circumstances) or come home with a latchkey is not neglect unless something else seriously bad is going on."

duckweed,

@Stoneblackdog overpolicing is a huge problem here, CPS (child protective services) and the police have taken children and put them in foster care for things like this. They target Native, Black and poor families. It didn't used to be like this. 9/11 made some people extremely paranoid and the culture has never recovered unfortunately. Canada has some of these issues too now.

It sucks that my government thinks "ipad kids" locked inside all day are better off than kids who play outside.

duckweed,

@Stoneblackdog The cynic in me also believes the daycare industry may be responsible for this. Some people spend thousands of dollars per month on daycare. That's crazy to me. When I was a kid and my parents were working I just stayed with other family members. But many people are isolated without extended family and the daycare industry exploits that.

duckweed,

@lemillionsocks true. but I think 9/11 really exacerbated the problem. It seems like kids began staying indoors and at home way more in the 2000s than the 90s... of course some of that is due to video games.

duckweed, to arcticautism

anyone read or watched Life Animated?

@arcticautism

It's about an autistic person who communicates via Disney quotes.

I read the first chapters, but some parts seem fake. Plus, I don't have much tolerance for "autism parent" perspectives. The author says he wanted his kid to be a famous successful person & how he wants to "reach inside" & connect with his son who "vanished" when his autism became apparent. "Changeling" narratives make me uncomfortable.

WTF... To delete #Threads you also have to delete #Instagram

Vice: Threads Instagram 'Trap' Shows Why Facebook Should Have Been Broken Up Years Ago >>> https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvjvb5/threads-instagram-trap-shows-why-facebook-should-have-been-broken-up-years-ago

“I deactivated my threads account already but it turns out you can’t delete your threads account without also deleting your Instagram account so maybe just don’t sign up!”

duckweed,

@mastodonmigration hey, getting people to delete instagram counts as a win in my book!

duckweed, to mastodon

and speaking of @Tusky I have an issue. is there anyway to save my tabs so they don't reset to the defaults each time I log in and out?

Let's make LibreOffice accessible for everyone! Say hello to Michael Weghorn, our new Developer, who'll be focusing on accessibility improvements – like making LibreOffice more usable for people with visual impairments: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2023/07/04/welcome-michael-weghorn-new-developer-at-tdf/

duckweed,

@libreoffice very nice, I love libreoffice!

duckweed,

@arya48 @preston Yeah it doesn't seem fair that Shaddiq got imprisoned while Prospera and others went free. On the one hand I understand wanting to break the cycle of violence/revenge, but they could have at least acknowledged how abusive Prospera was. She should have faced some consequence.

I also wonder if the souls of Elan 4, Norea and Sophie got transferred somewhere or just Ericht...

bento recipes and inspiration

@vegan

I have a bento box with separate compartments I want to use, but I've never made bento style meals before so I'm looking for ideas.

What would you do for a free 55-inch 4K TV?

  1. You must use the TV daily.

  2. There's no way to hide constant ads.

Is surveillance capitalism acceptable if companies are being upfront about it and "you’re in on it"?

@Tutanota I only use my TV for gaming, I don't have cable or anything like that. I hate ads

duckweed, to gundam

Norea

@gundam

Norea was a daughter of Eve in Gnostic myths. When Noah didn't let her board the ark, she burned it down and he had to re-build it. GWitch's Norea attacking the school is a retelling of this.

The mythic Norea is later attacked and rescued by a figure named Eleleth. Eleleth -> Elan 5

Wikipedia has a good summary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norea

Sophie is a ref to Sophia, a huge figure in Gnosticism, but I'm not sure how to interpret her Gundam counterpart.

duckweed,

@gundam I noticed this and was surprised that no one else seems to be talking about it. There's a lot of references to other things in this show. I don't know if there are other Gnostic inspired characters besides these three. I'm going to look into it more.

duckweed,

@nevemsenki @WhiskyTangoFoxtrot Yeah, I think a simplified plot and smaller cast would have been better

duckweed, to fediverse

I'm looking for or groups (or anything fedi) for some niche interests:

duckweed,

I'm open to #kbin too. Some more things I like or am curious about and want to find on the fediverse: #UnitarianUniversalism #Druidism #Kemeticism #Gnosticism #FaithfullyLGBT liberal/inclusive religion in general #TheLionKing #Bluey #CozyFantasy #SFWFurry (whole account must be sfw) hmm... that's a decent list for now. Still looking for a fedi community dedicated to the more polyfidelity side of #polyamory as well.

duckweed,

also looking for groups. maybe. if there are any decent ones. there is a lemmy community but it's memes, not discussions...

I did take a peek at the hashtag but didn't find much of interest... I'll look again...

duckweed,

is there a group like r/buyitforlife on or ?
