I didn’t mean that the feature is universally available. I meant that lots of people will intuitively start moving their mouse to find the cursor, because our eyes are good at spotting motion and because it might be placed somewhere which matches its color.

Maybe not everyone starts shaking rapidly enough to trigger the feature, but well, you don’t want it activating all the time either…

I believe, we call those “live service games”…

Man, you almost feel bad for them, because clearly some effort went into this. It’s not like they just slapped high-res textures on and called it a day. You can tell, because that would’ve looked better.

But I don’t actually feel bad, because no one forced them to remake such a recent title. You don’t run that risk, if you remake something that actually looks bad in the first place.

I mean, trailers are going to pick the best-looking scenes. The comparison video linked in the article seems like it’s trying to be neutral and lots of scenes just look worse in it. I haven’t seen the actual game either, though…

Well, the black turtle bean specifically has a hard ‘shell’, so you use it when you don’t want the beans falling apart, like in burritos or salads.

That’s also part of the reason why I think they’re neat, they just look damn aesthetic:

But interesting point nonetheless. I have been trying them in tomato sauce, and maybe the hard shell is holding them back in that case…

You need to be on Plasma 6.1+.

Then it’s under System Settings → Accessibility → Shake Cursor, although I think it gets enabled by default.

I was going to suggest setting a delay in Spectacle, but seems like the enlarged mouse cursor does not show up in screenshots, even if you set “Include mouse pointer”…

Man, it really is like an extremely dense but dedicated intern. Does not question for a moment why it’s supposed to make fun of an interval, but delivers a complete essay.

Just make sure to never say “let’s eat Grandpa” around an AI or it’ll have half the leg chomped down before you can clarify that a comma is missing.

Because shaking your cursor to spot it is kind of universal?

I enjoy how you had to hold it very specifically this way around so that none of the spirit level bubbles were in the middle.

Don’t have much experience with beans, but I quite like black turtle beans. Still struggling with making them, though. The canned beans often fall apart and I haven’t yet tried with dried beans, as those are quite the commitment to prepare. 😅

Hmm, sounds like you’re maybe aiming a bit too high, with how many ingredients are involved. Like, yeah, it’s good to eventually get there, because it’s nutritious and yummy, but they add quite a bit of complexity in preparation and then getting everything cooked to the same degree.

I cook a lot, but if more than a handful of ingredients are involved, I need to prepare all of them and put them into little bowls before I even think about turning on the stove.
And then, yeah, as was already suggested, cooking them separately (microwave or otherwise) and then just combining them at the end, that will also help with not having things overcooked or undercooked.

But yeah, when I say I cook a lot, most of the time it’s noodles with tomato sauce two or three ingredients + varying spices.
Maybe you can find some simple recipes you like to eat+make regularly, then try playing around with those recipes (e.g. swap out an ingredient, try out different spices) and every so often you tackle a bigger recipe.

I guess, maybe you could also pick out a complex recipe you want to make and then try to cook simple meals which involve a subset of the ingredients, so you can get some experience with that ingredient…

What the fuck, man, why is this so accurate? Reading the meme, I thought I’d rate my normal pain as a 4. Then I read the non-chronic pain scale and realized the description matches a 7, which is exactly where this chronic pain scale maps it.

I don’t know, if there’s any hosted instances of it, or how mature it is, but one of the Lemmy devs has experimented with using the frontend of phpBB (basically the software for old-school forums) with a Lemmy backend: [email protected]

To my knowledge, they had some pretty quick successes with it and one might be able to just slap this onto a server right now…

All the initiatives I’ve read so far, did have pretty concrete suggestions for how laws should be changed. In my experience, law makers will gladly consider a suggestion, because making laws is hard. Yes, that means lobbying is rather easily possible, but consumers are the group that does the least amount of lobbying.

“Röntgen sicherheits schrauben dreher” reads like someone’s really out of breath…

On a phonetic level, some specialist will be able to discern the different E-sounds, but they’re still very similar. It’s definitely not like the English pronunciation where it’s completely different sounds.

What the hell, it’s originally Spanish where all the Es sound the same, then it got popularized by a German brand, where all the Es sound the same, how did it become Merceydees in English?

Yeah, I had to figure out what it really is from Wikipedia and my two reactions were:

• Ubisoft has a ‘universe’? Huh, I guess, they do have a few franchises there.
• That actually sounds reasonably interesting. At least it’s not just yet another uninspired shooter.

And like, yeah, lacklustre marketing puts it quite well. I had heard of XDefiant before, but all I got from that was that it’s a shooter, which made me fall asleep immediately.
Had they sold it as “You ever wanted to pit the Splinter Cell guy against the Far Cry bandits?”, I would have at least remembered it.

But to be fair, a lot of games are currently coming out. It is difficult to be seen for pretty much all titles…
