You opt in by following the bridgy fed account for your platform, so for Mastodon that'd be: https://bsky.brid.gy/bsky.brid.gy

There's one on each platform, and when you follow it it'll create you a bluesky/mastodon counterpart and send you the link to that bridged account

No, not unless the person whose posts you want to see opted into bridging their account.

If both parties bridge their accounts they can follow eachother, or if one person bridges their account others can follow them.

I don't think you can see boosts of stuff not on your platform though, and I don't know how interacting with a bridged account works if both of you are bridged. If only the person you're following is bridged they definitely won't see it, but I don't know if that changes if you're both bridged

Yeah, researching candidates is great and all, but like they didn't exactly set themselves up for success with this ballot design.

It kinda sucks ass. :/

I've really enjoyed reading her works! I follow her on Mastodon and sometimes she posts really cute pictures of her dog :)

Cool!

Love the ghost in the shell profile pic :)

Yep. Thats true. Its also likely not as true for the population that is here.

I did not vote for a fascist. I did vote. I am an American. And I am not a fascist.

I guess all that comes next is learning how to protest. I've never been to one before due to social anxiety and my sleep disorder. I guess now is the time to learn how to participate in one.

No one deserves to be insulted for their nationality.

I wasn't in that thread, but that's not an appropriate way for folks to treat eachother

Also, Americans are grieving what may be legitimately the end of vital freedoms, the end of safety for many minority populations, which many of my loved ones belong to, potentially the end of free elections, and an independent court.

It also may mean the complete derailment of any global climate policies as the US steps back from climate commitments, which may prompt other super powers to do the same. That is not a good thing.

Some space to grieve would be welcome. If you live in Russia you have my love and my condolences, I'm sure you have been living with anxieties about your interests not being represented for a long time.

Oh shit, that's super interesting! Really appreciate you sharing that, now I wanna go read more about that some time!

Personally I don't really mind opt out unless the choice isn't clearly presented to people for them to decide.

Like if during installation one of the steps is "share anonymized data" and the switch is in the on position by default, I really don't mind that. Usage data is massively helpful from a UI/UX perspective and in terms of user testing, doubly so for open source projects without as much resources for doing that kind of testing otherwise.

But if it's burried in a settings pannel somewhere, that sucks and doesn't respect user agency

Thats how I feel anyway 🤷‍♂️

Bigtime

is an awesome newer car and motorcycle channel, they split off from donut to go do their own creative stuff after donut go bought by a big soulless media company

Fortnine

is an amazing motorcycle youtube channel with absurd production quality and directing often worthy of full length documentaries

Berm peak

is a super well produced mountain biking and bikes channel

Lab Muffin Beauty Science

If you're into science based skincare I absolutely adore her, she has a chemistry PhD and a specialization in cosmetic chemistry. She spends a lot of time debunking baseless skincare marketing which I don't really need since everything I know about skincare I learned from her and various other science focused youtubers, but I absolutely adore her informative videos that are guides to various aspects of skincare, or an exploration of how to competently interpret research

Adam savage's Tested

channel is a lot of fun if you like maker content, he's just as energetic and charismatic of a character as he was back on Mythbusters

Hybrid calisthenics

is a wonderful exercise fitness and wellness channel where the guy running it is just an earnest, kind, compassionate human being who offers advice that meets people where they are and helps them progress, regardless of their current ability level. He went viral a while back for a video talking about how you can do exercise at any level, even if you've literally never done a pushup in your life, where he demonstrates modified versions of bodyweight exercises that make them more accessible, or even more difficult so that people can work their way up to their goals from any starting point. People fell in love with his personality and attitude of compassion.

My absolute favorites for cooking are:

Adam Ragusea

does an amazing job of making recipes realistic and approachable for home cooking, and his background as a journalist results in incredibly high quality research videos that are unbelievably informative

internet shaquille

unprotentious while focusing on technique, has a fantastic delivery style, it's hard to describe exactly what makes him special, but the videos are phenomenal and he often gives great life advice

J Kenji Lopez alt

the goat. Super knowledgable, especially regarding the science of cooking, and is a well respected name in recipe development. His videos are him with a gopro camera strapped to his head while he prepares the food and talks about it's origin, how he likes to make it, etc. Its like having an expert demonstrate for you in their home kitchen while casually chatting about all the knowledge they have to share about a given recipe

Chinese cooking demystified

the absolute best source for traditional chineese cooking, and food history lessons to boot. I love their delivery style, and their videos always give a ton of historical and cultural context and are a joy to watch)

Lemme know if you'd like more food youtubers, these are my absolute faves though, and all offer very different perspectives on food (sometimes disagreeing with eachother) while usually teaching at least as much about technique, how to approach cooking, and their own personal philosophy when developing recipes as they do the specific recipe itself.

Brian David Gilbert

makes a wide range of bizarre nonsense and I adore him. Comedy sketches, horror short film kinda stuff, incomprehensible fever-dreams, a guide to the united states health insurance mess that somehow manages to be as funny as it is depressing, goofy music, unironically wonderfull music, recipies. He used to make polygon's unhinged video series called unraveled, his personal channel is even better and even more unhinged

Your sauce will still have less sugar than others, but if I understand correctly, simmering for hours will break down the more complex sugars in tomatoes into simpler sugars resulting in a somewhat sweeter taste

I think cooking does also dull the percieved acidity of food though, hence lemon juice or other acids often being added at the end so as to keep the brightness. But I'm not actually sure if the pH changes or if it's just a change in the tartness we associate with acidity, maybe someone can chime in with more information :)

Thats fair. A na miata is basically my dream car, I hope to someday daily one in spite of being from the 90s 😅

I mean, a lot of cars have a genuinely phenomenal life span, if you don't mind getting something that isn't shiny and new you can probably get like a 2012 Toyota or Honda and drive it till the wheels fall off. My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable

Eventually it'll be an issue, but that does leave a lot of time for nerds and hackers to find a way to gut networking stuff while telling the car it's still intact. Dunno if we'll ever see an open source car OS compatible with the systems in major manufacturer's vehicles, but privacy workarounds feel like they could be pretty realistic

Awww, thats genuinely really lovely, I'm so pleased to hear it's gone really well for them

Gotcha. Yeah I choose to use Mastodon, I'd much rather support the open community built option than the option built by a company with a profit motive, I just try to stay in the loop about stuff

Thanks for the answer :)

Did something specific already happen with Bluesky, or are people just expecting it because VC vultures now have their claws in it?

Its an allegory for the civil rights movement regarding race if I recall correctly, which I think people appreciate, and are just frustrated with certain details of how the story was contrived to express its ideas.

I remember liking it okay, but I frankly don't remember it well, I mostly just remember sobbing a lot at the episode where data has a child because I love Data a whole bunch

What a cute video idea. Not an Ubuntu user but seasonal theming sounds like fun

Not who you replied to, but thank you, I misread the quote initially
