Avoid categories where a lot of items have fake specs (storage devices, LED bulbs, anything that claims a runtime on a Li-Ion battery)
I’d say be aware rather than avoid. E.g I bought a $10 camping lantern that claimed 2.5 times its true capacity, but it still runs for hours and is a great, well designed, if flimsy, product for the price.
The sort option by “orders” is good for this. Far from infallible but still useful.
That’s a much broader term.

I’ve had buffalo wings, and American barbecue. Also I’ve been to American Thanksgiving meals with weird things like sweet potatoes with marshmallows on. So I’ve had some American ethnic food for one thing.
I’m curious why markdown works better for you?
I just switched to denote - liking the simple elegance.
I’m skeptical - I was recently eating outside literally watching three of them come at my ankles while people sitting right beside me were being left alone.
Yep, I was thinking Lemmyversary.
Your analysis is good but you conclusion is … fucked up.
We’re not facing a problem, we’re in a predicament.
We always have, we always will
That’s a statement of religious faith. We have barely ever even existed so it’s plainly nonsense, and there is no rule of the universe that we must continue to exist or that we cannot unfixably destroy our planet’s ability to support us. You’re just baselessly asserting “they’ll think of something”.
Ah yes, the No it wont argument.

Not really. KDE Connect does all sorts of things, file transfer being just one and really not in the same way. It also does notifications, media controls, remote control, …
And everything syncs with your desktop Firefox(es).
My entire Samsung appliance experience is one dishwasher but it was so shit that I was happy when it broke after 18 months and I will never buy another Samsung appliance. Didn’t clean things and smelled like death if we didn’t manually clean it once a week and run it empty on sanitize and never leave the door closed. Searching the internet told me it was widespread and people were considering class action lawsuits.
It looked nice though. And was quiet.

it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the “just missing a good editor” joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.
(personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had ctrl next to a.)
I really f’ing love Emacs, and… this is true. I’m still constantly learning, 3 decades in.
But that’s part of its appeal - it’s a constantly evolving, you tweak and modify it for your needs, and you grow and change together.
I hit the Compose key and then =/ gives ≠, but I don’t seem to be able to enter ≈. For that and more obscure characters I’d open Emacs and run insert-char.
I naively thought it I may as well take a job using Go, as learning a new language is broadening, and some people like it, so lets find out first hand… I knew it was a questionable choice, looking at how Go adoption tailed off a while ago.
Turns out I hate Go. Sure it’s better than C but that’s a very low bar, and C was never a good alternative choice for the use cases I’m encountering. I’m probably suffering from a codebase of bad Go, but holy shit it’s painful. So much silent propagation of errors up the stack so you never know where the origin of the error was. So very much boilerplate to expand simple activities into long unreadable functions. Various Go problems I’ve hit can be ameliorated if you “don’t do it like that”, but in the real world people “do it like that” all the time.
I’m really starting to feel like there are a lot of people in the company I’ve joined who like to keep their world obtuse and convoluted for job security.
