you don’t get dibs on a land after you left it for thousands of years.

You may want to explain why those people had to leave this land, tankie.

I am not sure if that quote is helpful. Reality is humans long for companion of some kind, we are social animals and that includes us on the spectrum. Company becomes a option when you are assured that it is there for you if you need it. But it is not for most of us.

Why does smoked salmon look 'raw'? And why does it taste so different from a cooked fillet?

I don’t tend to eat much fish, but in the supermarket earlier I saw some smoked salmon which didn’t need cooking, and some salmon fillets which did. They looked the same really - both ‘raw’. I decided to buy some of the fillet. It was nice, but a very different flavour from when I’ve tried smoked salmon in the past....

It's salmon, you can eat that thing raw if you like, like beef too, just that with salmon you have to fully freeze it once to kill potential parasite worms.

Runny eggs are normal eggs I think, who boils them to the full hardness?
I mean sure it's raw beef, bacteria will love it but as long as it's fresh and well handled it can totally be eaten raw, unlike pork or chicken for example. I don't mean rare, I mean raw, fully uncooked. Steak Tartar or carpaccio for example, two absolutely delicious meals.

Why are people against big companies joining the fediverse?

Tl:dr: Perhaps I am just uninformed on the issues, but I don’t see what the big deal is with a company like Meta joining the fediverse. If anything, I think it is a very good thing, as it puts more attention and dev time into making it a more functional and better place. So what is the issue?...

@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

Facebooks only reason to make Threads a ActivityPub compatible application is likely to not be considered a so called gatekeeper by the EU. That's all. No secret plot to destroy the fediverse.

The main thing I worry about is that Instagram users get into the fediverse, and they are just so incredibly bland. What kind of people think posting a picture of their face while being on some place is peak social interaction.

As someone who first switched to lemmy, and then quickly switched to kbin due to rampant de-federation in the lemmy world, I say I just first heard about lemmy.
But, Kbin is much more modern, and spectating the changes done in the last days alone, it moves fast and attracts many developers while all lemmy 0.18 did was breaking federation with kbin. I can fully recommend the switch to Kbin, its that good.

There is also the issue of Lemmy being developed by a group of genocide denying tankies.

About Tildes, it seems to be more of a clone of Digg in the old days.

Kbin.social was not really ready to accept a large user amount until a few days ago when they did a large update to the infrastructure, also a little more then a week ago the site still had stability issues and would error out a lot. That just changed and now it is ready to grow faster. But, so far 51k users on kbin.social already.

Besides lemmygrad and explodingheads which are truly legitimate cases, defederation just hurts everyone. New users just expect to sub to the communities they like on reddit. That includes NSFW because that simply is something people want, and it never was an issue on reddit. The whole discussion on larger lemmy is childish and prude.

And about the developers, lemmygrad is largely isolated, but lemmy.ml is not and those same tankies run that. In fact its also the only lemmy instance that blocks all kbin instances via blocking the kbin user-agent. The development is also still largely steered by those tankies.

A API is in the works, and once that happened apps should pop up like they do for Lemmy.

@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

I am not even speaking about LemmyNSFW and the discussion around what should be allowed on there and the discussion if they allow CSAM or not. It hit me when my favorite furry focused instance got blocked from feddit.de which was my home on lemmy because it has two mild NSFW communities on there. Nothing illegal, nothing legally questionable. Still de-federated.

You should always use the language you are most comfortable with, and for ernest that simply is PHP. Its not what I would have chosen either, but things like the facebook and telegram backends are in PHP and they certainly work very well.

@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

If you like Lemmy, you should really try out Kbin. Its mostly the same but better. You can still sub all your lemmy communities but with a much more modern interface.

You can not really have 100% alcohol. It's really hard to get the last few percent of water out of it. Destillation is useless at that percentage and drying agents are used, but even they can't get all water out. Denatured just means that there is a bitter tasting chemical mixed in so it won't be drunken by those wanting to avoid alcohol taxes.

I understand it's normal to want to be in a relationship, but how do you feel happy when you aren't? (kbin.social)

I'm 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I've started to want to settle down. I know it doesn't happen overnight. But recently it's been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values....

Idk I think the only things making me feel not good about being a kiss virgin is my brain trying to make me feel sad about it and seeing other people showing love and affection to another.

Is it my goal to copy them?

YSK: You should dry off beef before cooking. Doing so promotes the Maillard Reaction, which will make the meat taste and look better. (www.seriouseats.com)

Why YSK: When you cook meat, any water on the surface must first evaporate before much browning can occur. You want to get as much of a Maillard reaction as possible in the limited cooking time you have before the meat reaches the correct internal temperature. Removing the moisture first means that the heat of the cooking...

There are people who cook wet meat? I mean there are people who do not know that baking soda is a wonderful tenderizer.

Not more or less then they can already do by just using web bots.

On Kbin, users can block whole servers, but also subscribe to whole servers.

I mean, its easy to do the switch. I started on lemmy and switched to kbin and it feels just so much more modern and welcoming.

I still don’t understand why anyone would still be using Twitter today

Lots of content I want to see is on Twitter and the alternatives those content creators use are like Instagram or even worse. If I have to choose between Twitter and Instagram, then Twitter is the obvious choice, still.

Every once in a while I check who is now on Mastodon, and I am always happy when I see a few more users I like. But then I look and many people rather look for Project 92 or Bluesky from Jack instead of just joining Mastodon.

European here so it may not be clear to me, but I thought discriminating against religious movements like the church or trump supporters is still illegal. Correct?
