Izaro , in This community lately

I know that switching away from a Chromium based browser would be great, but Firefox just can’t compete with the Chromium bookmark system. That was actually the main reason I switched to Brave instead of Firefox a few years back, and from what I can see, Firefox still hasn’t changed anything about their bookmark-manager. :/

ReakDuck ,

What do you mean? What is special about brave’s or chromiums bookmark manager?

scrubbles ,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Right what platinum coated bookmarks are they using? Firefox syncs bookmarks, has them organized by folders, has a bookmarks bar, can pin them to the start page, idk what else they need

Izaro ,

As I’ve stated in the other comment, I mainly ment the UI. But there is another feature I like to use, which is the window-specific bookmark manager. I usually keep my browser activities separated with different windows(e.g. one for youtube documentaries and one for learning). With the Chromium manager, I can have one manager-tab per window. That’s not possible with the Firefox manager. It’s a small thing, but hey, it’s convenient.

Then again, the bookmark manager wasn’t the only reason I chose Brave over Firefox. If I remember correctly, I had three reasons why I chose Brave in the end:

  1. The bookmark manager - Reasons are stated here and in the other comment.
  2. Brave Ads - The privacy respecting ads make my mind feel at ease when using an adblocker, as I’m still contributing something.
  3. This one is the weakest one: Firefox just felt slower for me, to be honest.

I would’ve just put up with point three, but in order to leave the first two, Firefox would have to have other features I really want tu use. And that’s the problem - it doesn’t have those.

Izaro , (edited )

I probably should have specified that I meant the UI. You can do everything in Firefox, but for me, the Chromium UI just looks nicer, it’s “cleaner” for me, even if it comes at the cost of having the address-bar in a submenu, for example. Because I use the bookmark-manager quite often, that’s a majority points I consider. For 99% of the people, Firefox will do the job just as well as Chromium especially if you just use the bookmarks, not the manager. For some it probably looks even better. It’s just preference.

I find it funny that RDR is being framed as a Rockstar issue, when it feels more like a Sony issue. RDR has been backwards compatible on the Xbone since 2016. The reason Rockstar has to make a port is because of how poor PlayStation is at backwards compatibility

You can add too much cheese to bechamel when making mac and cheese. It turns the sauce from smooth and velvety into spackle.

Don't lie, you'll eat that spackle and enjoy every minute of it.

Enjoy is a strong word. ‘Tolerate because I’m poor’ is the proper term.

UndefinedIsNotAFunction ,

It’s probably just me, but are rouxes and bechamels just like REALLY hard to get right? I fuck em up every time, so I refuse to make cheesey sauces by hand anymore.

Duranie ,

Before I started caring about my waistline, I used to make giant batches of home made macaroni and cheese a few times a month. My recipe is simple, but I recognize it’s also probably an abomination when compared to proper techniques, but here’s the thing - it’s easy, forgiving, and it works!

Forgive my lack of measurements. I’m going to try, but I’ve just winged it for years.

3-4 cups of milk in at least a 2qt saucepan. Slowly heat to almost a simmer, stirring to keep the bottom from scorching. As it’s heating, really mix about 1/2 cup milk and a couple fat tablespoons of flour. You want a good amout of flour, but loose enough to still be able to pour. When the milk is starting to ripple, slowly pour in the flour mixture while whisking.

This would technically be the hardest part. Don’t add all the flour mixture yet. Flour thickens the most once it comes to a boil. Mix/whisk in about half, see how thick the mixture gets once it starts to bubble (watch for hot spatters!) When I make it I want like a gravy texture - not runny, not pudding, somewhere in between. Not thick enough? Add more flour mix. Too thick? Add a splash of milk. You just need it to bubble slowly for a couple minutes to achieve it’s full potential.

Once you’ve gotten a decent texture (remember it will thicken a little more after cooling) take it off the heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, whatever seasoning you want, just be careful with salt until you’ve tasted it with the cheese. Now that you’ve stirred it a bit, add your cheese and let the remaining heat melt it. Depending on if you’re using shredded or cut a block into chunks, you may have to warm it a little on the heat if it gets too cold, but DON’T bring it back to a boil. There’s a risk some cheeses might break if you do. Don’t get it too hot and you should be good.

I fought with making a proper roux too many times. My “nobody knows what I’m doing alone in the kitchen” version was far easier (forgive me real chefs 😉.)

shottymcb ,

You can buy some sodium citrate off amazon. It’s the emulsifier that makes american cheese and velveeta work, you’ll get a smooth sauce with much better flavor than velveeta. Just google sodium citrate mac n cheese for a recipe, it’s pretty easy to make.

teft ,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Super easy if you follow this recipe:

Take 4 tbsp butter in a pan. melt it

add 2 tbsp flour. whisk for 3 minutes.

slowly add 1.5 cups milk and vigorously whisk it into the butter and flour mix (slowly is key here too fast and you’ll end up with lumpy sauce)

Once all the milk is added you should have a smooth but thin sauce. Cook your sauce until it reaches a consistency that you want then add your cheese (I add 100-150g of parmesan to this for alfredo or 150g of cheddar for mac and cheese sauce). Remember that the sauce will thicken more once you take it off heat.

Edit: Also spices are on you. Spice it however you like starting with at least some salt since the milk will take some salt away from the cheese.

UndefinedIsNotAFunction ,

Ok, maybe that slowly bit is my problem. It always ends up lumpy. So, that’s gotta be it! Thank you!!

teft ,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Make sure you’re whisking while you add the milk. Slowly adding the milk and whisking are the keys to making it smooth. Some people will even just add the milk 1/3 at a time. So add a half cup while whisking, get it integrated, then add another half cup, repeat til all the milk is in.

Overwatch 2, the game that promised PvE…doesn’t have PvE.

And then, Blizzard being cunts.

ThunderingJerboa ,
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

I mean didn't they just add the pve? Yes they horrifically downscaled it and its honestly insulting gamer were sold a premise but were given a downgraded game especially after they killed the original one. I just think its a bit disingenuous to say it has no PVE, when its there but pretty bad.

learningduck ,

Do pve missions from the first game still available? I don’t follow it much.

I think one part that people are outrage about OW2 are those PvE DLC contents with $15, but yeah, it come with coins that worth the battle pass. So, actually it’s kinda cheaper.

ThunderingJerboa ,
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

At the moment, there are none of the archive level. Which is super silly. So you only get 3 missions with some cutscenes with them.

I offer you a cup of really good coffee. Like, REAL GOOD. I hype it up for months, maybe years. Get you really excited for it.

And then I give you a tiny cup that holds approximately 2 tablespoons of cold Folgers.

ThunderingJerboa ,
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

Your point was it doesn't have PVE. I'm not here to defend their shit PVE* and I even make a point to say it is fucking scummy they killed their OG game for this garbage but lets at least deal with facts right now. They have a PVE you have to pay 15 bucks for (and you don't even get to play the ones from the original game for some stupid reason)

PunnyName ,

It’s false advertising. Full stop.

Hyperi0n ,

No.

You start with a really good cup of coffee but are then offered the best coffee. So they take your really good coffee that you already paid for and toss it out, break the machine that makes the really good coffee and then serves you garbage coffee in a slightly smaller cup and then spits in it.

even overwatch 2????

Xusies ,

Yes, a 13 year old game getting a crappy port job to last gen consoles and being sold for $50 is awesome.

And yes, the unpolished Diablo 4, with less content than a plain cheese sandwich, is awesome.

And yes, OW2 replacing the original entirely with the promise of a fully fledged PvE mode, but instead delivering the same type of simple PvE missions they already had in OW1, is totally awesome. /s

We should have a “sort by controversial” for when you want to have some “lemmy and popcorn”.

amio ,

Usually it turns out it's just even lower effort than the memes already on Lemmy etc., and you almost definitely know what they're gonna say. Might as well write some random transphobic talking points on a board and throw blindfolded darts.

... I assume, haven't seen them yet.

Edit: it was stonetoss, so I'll go ahead and award myself the prize for absolutely fucking NAILING that.

This post is pro-LGBTQ+. The above commenter was agreeing with OP, not calling OP anti-trans.

praeceptorem666 ,

When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. You should really make your life better to a point where a vapid meme isn’t the highlight of it

Ubermeisters ,

I have a general rule of thumb where any commenter on social media using the word “vapid” is not to be paid attention to in the slightest. Here I am breaking my own rule though to let others know of this easy trend to spot.

I’ve never once seen a commenter use this term and not be a douche. Just saying. It’s on the troll bingo card.
