Sauces for what? A lot of sauces you can buy pre-made and are perfectly acceptable—also some sauces you would not normally make yourself, e.g. soy sauce.

Sauces as in dipping sauces, I normally use pre-made hot sauce.

You can also make a lot of passable pasta sauces very easily. One way is to fry up garlic, chilli, and any other aromatics you like in a pan. Add white wine. Add parsley. Add pasta water. Add spaghetti (or other pasta).

Another pasta sauce I like that’s very easy to make is just putting silken tofu and miso paste into a blender/food processor and blending until creamy smooth. There should not be any chunks; it should be completely smooth and creamy. If you see any lumps at all, keep blending—it will get smooth. That makes for a good creamy vegan sauce you can put on pasta or other things.

It is “ready”. The 0.3 branch and the 0.4 branch can be thought of as different compositors, and the 0.3 branch is a fully-functional compositor in its own right. Some people will never upgrade to 0.4 because they either prefer 0.3 or can’t be bothered to make the transition.

Also the way you quoted that made it sound like the 0.4 release has been a WIP for years. Believe it or not 0.3 was not the first River release… They haven’t been planning the RWM release the whole time.

River!! It’s a Wayland dynamic tiler, which sounds like it’s what you’re looking for. I really like it. I’ve been using it for a few years and have been happy.

Note that they’re currently undergoing a significant rewrite for the 0.4 release which will break people’s setups. However, the 0.3 branch will continue to be maintained indefinitely for those who don’t want to switch.

These days the vi command on your machine is almost definitely actually vim just running in a mode with limited features to emulate vi.

They should be pretty on it for security updates. Librewolf is also hardened compared to upstream Firefox so if security is a concern, you’re probably better off using the fork anyway.

If it’s so easy to “use wrong” then it’s badly designed software.

Nobody’s saying it’s mandatory. People don’t want their web browsers to be full of bloated AI slop. Why should there be the AI components of Firefox on my hard drive if I’m never going to use them? Why should my web browser be full of low quality features I’ll never use? It’s enshittification. Not to mention the very quote you’re pasting specifies that it’s opt-out, not opt-in.

It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.

I don’t know what websites you’re using, but default uBlock Origin works completely fine with all the websites I visit, and it doesn’t use AI. It just uses blocking rules.

I’ve been through surgically induced menopause and I’m fine? It’s a bit baffling and honestly misogynistic to suggest that basically any woman from middle age onwards is incapable of doing a degree. I don’t think menopause made me stupider.

I think this question greatly depends on where you live. Is uni free where you live? I’m guessing not from you mentioning the cost of a degree and debt. Then how does the debt work? In some countries, the government issues student loans that are repaid much less stringently than most loans, and it’s not a big deal.

Depending on how the system works where you are, I’d weigh up the financial cost of going back to school vs what you would gain from it. What are you looking to get? Education for the sake of education? A better job, such that the financial cost of the degree will repay itself? The uni experience you missed out on? Something else? How much do you value that thing compared to how much it will cost you?

Jingle bells and sleigh ride reference modern christmas traditions (Santa)

New Year’s is celebrated by everyone

I mean, for a lot of people the lunar new year is more significant than the solar new year.

In any case, I guess it’s twofold—the proximity of xmas and solar new year mean that a lot of christmas songs double as new years songs, and also that there’s more culture and tradition associated with christmas than with the solar new year.

That’s interesting… I like getting chunks of carrot and celery in my soups. I deliberately cut them large, about as large as you can get whilst fitting on a spoon, for that reason.

It does, but people of any gender can be abusers etc. It is a real problem that lesbian survivors of abuse from a female partner find it difficult to escape their partner because their partners are e.g. allowed into women’s shelters. It’s also not hard to understand that the environment of homophobia and misogyny leads to many women and girls getting into toxic relationships with each other where abuse can develop. I say this as a lesbian who was in some unhealthy relationships in my teen years. A lot of lesbians have similar experiences. I’m not saying that lesbians are predatory on a level comparable with straight men, but I am saying that narratives around abuse and violence completely ignore the violence that LGBT people may experience in their own relationships. Judging by OP’s profile picture they are also a young lesbian.

In most cases cutting causes a physical change not a chemical change.

Lesbians exist.

I just did.

Just htop. Never found a reason to switch
