First one is def interesting, but a little too chip tune for my taste (still cool though). Definitely liking the second one. Will check out some more of them. Thanks.

The former but will settle for the latter. Amazing description, BTW. lol

Also yes 😆

Not that, specifically, but I get annoyed when people post screenshots of videos that have the “play” icon on them. My dumbass clicks on those 9 times out of 10.

South Park: What Scientologists Actually Believe

Beyond that, it’s a cult / pyramid scheme.

Also, check out Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath documentary for a good insider’s perspective.

It’s not the documentary, but here’s Leah explaining the scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-FrI5Hqto

I’ve seen those both on YouTube and at festivals. They’re pretty cool.

Personally, I don’t even like opening a can of biscuits because of the ‘pop’, so I don’t know how I’d feel about using one of those at home. lol

I do prefer to pan pop, but sometimes I’m just lazy and want to throw it in the microwave and only press one button.

Probably at the point they went to the app store, searched TikTok, and clicked “install”.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

I did eventually learn that (read it somewhere), but by that point, I’d started using the air fryer. I’m also not above eating cold pizza straight out of the fridge lol.

Air fryer is the best

It really is. I was late to the air fryer game assuming they were just another kitchen gimmick, but once I caved to peer pressure and bought one, I can’t imagine not having one.

but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer

I think that’s what the “Pizza” button on mine does. You can hear it kicking on and off at a weird cadence similar to but more frequent than defrost, so I assume that’s how it works.

Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza

I’ve never tried that, but we have baked deep dish style in a cast iron frying pan.

The pizza button works pretty well (I think it varies the power kind of like defrost does), but civilized people should always either eat leftover pizza cold or reheat it in the air fryer lol.

The only one I can really see is !statistics@lemmy.world but it doesn’t appear to be active at all. The only moderator for it hasn’t posted anything in a year or so.

Looks like some “if you build it, they will come” is needed.

Not sure of the procedure, but you may reach out to the LW admins to see about taking over the community if the mod is confirmed AWOL.

Mid 2000’s microwave. Has buttons for popcorn, pizza, potato, bacon, and beverage.

Yeah, mostly. It’s a third party UI that you’d use in place of (or alongside) any other. Works on mobile (optionally as a PWA) and desktop.

Not sure if lemmy.ca runs it directly, but the hosted instance is unlocked so that it can connect to any Lemmy instance.

Sadly, Lemmy doesn’t provide crosspost information in the feed; the frontend has to detect those duplicates and roll them up itself.

Not sure if any other UIs do, but Tesseract will match crossposts on title as well as URL (the default UI only uses URL). I wrote that behavior in specifically for what you described; I was annoyed by seeing 3-4 duplicate posts to different communities all in a row.

It’s not perfect since the crosspost rollups only happen if the duplicates are fetched in the same batch, but it does help a lot.

Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.

I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.

We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

• It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
• At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

The sound of a dog making the “uck uck uck uck uck uck uck bleeeech” gets me out of bed fast.

Update: Found the banner. Thanks, Wayback Machine!

Wait until you hear about the Windows file copy dialog.
