Oof, this brings back PTSD for a lot of us that have worked with developers like this ☝️

I think your brain probably wanted to say “home remedy”.

Don’t know why, but this title just made me realize that King Arthur and Robin Hood are both brands of flour.

The steam deck won’t pull past 3A anyway (all usb C cables are rated for 3A), so unless you’re using a USB-A to C cable, you should be getting full speed, unless the cable is damaged.

An opposing viewpoint here, from a couple of rice snobs – I’ve spent 30+ years (my entire life) with a rice cooker so I’ve never questioned not owning one.

Ours broke (the gasket did, after 10 years), and the company that made it no longer exists (Sanyo), so we tried just cooking rice on the stovetop for a year before we bought a new one. It’s now been 2 years without a rice cooker, and we don’t plan on buying one of those fancy Korean ones I’ve been eyeing.

We found the rice tastes better (a bit of burning at the bottom adds flavour), and we don’t need another appliance taking up space. The only thing I miss is the keep warm functionality, but now we just freeze the leftover rice and microwave it (or make fried rice with it).

And now we have more counter and cupboard space to buy other gadgets, as we’re cooking enthusiasts.

For large amounts of rice we luckily have a pressure cooker.

Or just pay Kagi. If you’re not paying they’re gonna have to get their money somewhere, and search is expensive.

Only somewhat related, but I’m pretty sure that photo is from the law courts in Vancouver, Canada, and the spelling makes me suspect it’s AI generated.

Surprised I don’t see this one, but slave trade chocolate (which unfortunately is most chocolate).

There are some lists out there, but we try to avoid all chocolate unless we are sure it isn’t harvested with slave labour, even partially.

I mean going from Unilever to CeraVe which is owned by Nestle might be a sideways move at best.

I pay them to not get ads and not sell my data (and for higher quality searches than DDG) – you know how they say if you’re not paying, you’re the product?

Given that search actually costs X, once you’re cogniziant of it, you have to decide whether or not you want to pay X for a search, or find alternatives.

But the problem is that this is what it costs for a search that doesn’t sell your data or advertise to you. Search is expensive.

Fortunately you do get into the habit of just searching sites directly, like wikipedia, MDN, archwiki, etc., rather than using up your general purpose searches.

It’s this, or sell your data to Google for free searches.

And maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s just not sustainable for searched to be paid, but Kagi is really transparent about their pricing. It’s just expensive unless it’s subsidized by ads or data collection.

I wonder if there’s a federated solution for this, which means that you just need a techie friend who can self host this for you

Wonder if there’s enough interest on lemmy for a replacement for the esphome subreddit.
