Unfortunately you’re going to have to rewatch every episode of Star Trek you previously watched, but this time use Linux to do it.

The thing I don’t get about these self-host apps is why so many of them exist when the thing they do would be better to implement as a run of the mill offline program.

I just want to auto-import recipes from websites into a cookbook app without any fuss. We do not need to bring a server into this equation!

It was in mine, for a while. Like with the salt, the iodine levels in seaweed are generally so high that only a tiny amount is necessary. In some dishes I couldn’t taste it at all, and in others it would add a subtle seafood quality to the dish. It’s often a key ingredient in mock seafoods.

If you’re somebody who is extremely committed to the ‘whole’ in whole foods, it’s the defacto choice. Otherwise it’s just nice to have more options.

Even without iodized salt it’s easy to get iodine on a plant-based diet, it just comes down to adding a small amount of some kind of seaweed each day, dulse flakes being a good choice.

But iodized salt is simpler, cheaper, more available, so that’s usually my default.

What is your thyroid disorder?

Is this a good enough excuse to push iodized salt? Yes it is.

If you’re the kind of person who is only using kosher, himalayan, or any other fancy salts, you should really include an iodized variant in your home as well. You only need a small pinch of it per day. Companies started including iodine in their salt for good reason - people were dying of iodine deficiency. Iodine is not easy to get naturally from food, especially if you live in a northern region.

But because there was a fad for those other fancy salts, we’re seeing a resurgence of iodine deficiencies and hypothyroidism. Do not skip on the stuff, it’s an essential nutrient!

And bonus points for blood pressure health if you opt for potassium-based salt substitutes.

This is why I have a backlog of Lemmy notifications.

What are your dietary issues and food allergies?

Bigger picture, pasteurized milk is not fine. You need a system of animal agriculture infrastructure to make that happen, and that system is why we’re in this mess in the first place.

I’m all for trash talking the circus of Trump and RFK, and anti-vaccers, but anyone doing so while still eating animal products is a hypocrite.

Anywhere but the mirror, huh? Please collapse, McDonald’s.

It would, if there were no other options for package management. Package formats don’t have to be either/or. My systems typically end up with mixes of native packages, flatpak, appimages, and you could technically consider Steam a package management system as well.

The problem is they’re making it suck more, by piling their usual proprietary shitware on top of it.

I would love to have a good pair of ar glasses to play games on my Steam Deck with. Connect a controller, and not have to hold up the heavy Deck itself.

But given Apple’s propensity for walled gardens and lock-in, and Meta putting manipulative spyware into everything they make, these hypothetical glasses won’t be coming from either of those companies.

Absolutely my favorite. Just download and go. Super portable.

I guess that would beg the question, how much is it worth to you pay extra to not have additional spyware in your home? Or as others have said in this thread, there is at least one brand of television that still sells dumb tvs.

Simple solution I use: Fuck television sets, get a computer monitor and basic speakers instead. A display should do only one thing and do it well.

Pinta has become my favorite image editing tool. Every other one I feel like I have to fight with in order to do anything (looking at you Gimp), but Pinta is so easy and intuitive it’s a joy to use.
