A lemmy nomad. Wish there was a way to migrate posts and comments from .world to .ml to here... 😪

My team uses Expensify, and I have to say, I don’t hate it. The website is full featured, the mobile app is actually pretty good, and you can even just email receipts to an email address and it will parse them out properly the vast majority of the time. Management-wise it has all of the approval chains, grouping, etc that you might expect. The company I work for is only about 50 people and my team is only 10 so I couldn’t say how well it scales, but I imagine unless you have some particularly unique requirements it’d do the job.

Which are you?

6 could be a screen cap of me in any weekday zoom meeting. A weekend zoom would look like 9, but the box is on fire.

What will the prison of the future look like? Prisoners will be able to be implanted with the memories of the victims of their crimes • VIDEO

They’ll implant new skills like “learning to knit”, but won’t mention anything about how to use the three seashells.

Have you fed your starter this week?

Jump

will @lemm.ee 1y ago

I don’t know about micro but I keep a conventional amount of starter in the fridge and have had it for 5+ years. If I’m out of a bread phase I take it out once every few months, let it come to temperature and feed it. When it gets bubbly and happy again I give it more flour and water till it’s thick and stick it back in the fridge. When my next bread phase kicks in I leave it out of the fridge for a day, feed it again and then use it like normal (once I see it can double in size). Very little waste this way and super-low effort.

I’ve also dehydrated strips of extra-thick starter and have successfully reanimated them years later (just did it recently with 4+ year dehydrated starter in fact).

Yup got it. In that context mega-dragon makes sense. I can’t wait until we actually understand what the hell gravity even is.

Yup. But try pulling a proton out of an atom for 2 seconds.

I was more just speaking to how it’s many orders of magnitude weaker than the other 3 forces. Though it does work on an infinite scale, so maybe it ought to be a tiny but unbelievably long vaguely dragon-shaped worm thing.

Shouldn’t gravity be like a tiny, vaguely dragon-shaped worm off in another field?

I mean messing with the strong force in a fistful of atoms gets you a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, my old, achy self can jump up and resist against a whole earth’s worth of gravitational force.

Whats your favorite "struggle meal"?

Jump

will @lemm.ee 1y ago

Fried chick peas (I use cans since they’re more convenient, but even cheaper dried beans are fine too but you have to soak for 24h and then boil them first). But either way, seriously cheap, loaded with protein and fiber, and delicious:

Rinse beans and dump into a large dry pan on high heat. Move them around until they have mostly dried up and just barely start sticking to the pan. Then add oil - just once or twice around the pan is plenty - and some salt. Then let them fry in that little bit of oil. Move them with a spoon every so often to keep from sticking too much.

After about 15 min you have these golden brown crunchy and slightly salty little things. They’re great, and go with everything as a side dish.

What is your favorite Fediverse specific creators?

@pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org posts fantastic, fediverse-only comics to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org. They can be super weird and will admittedly not be for everyone, but hey isn’t that why we’re all here in the first place?

Is there any way to bring back a section of the Internet to those of us who want it to stay in the 2003-2010 and before era?

ActivityPub and the fediverse were started specifically to deal with the kind of centralization that has lead to the shit state of the Internet today, so I'd say the fact that you've made it here means you've kinda found what you're looking for already. Find and read/write WriteFreely/Ghost/Plume blogs (and shitposts) instead of Substack or Medium, use Lemmy for threaded conversations (and shitposts) instead of Reddit, and Mastodon for microblogs (and shitposts) instead of Twitter. Peertube is not a drop-in replacement for Youtube, but also 90% of the new content on Youtube is garbage today anyway, and there's nothing stopping you from browsing older videos (with Freetube or similar to block a good portion of Youtube's enshittified UI).

Plus if you do stick to these off-the-beaten-path alternatives, it's still a fun time to be a content creator since you're not focused on maximizing engagement or monetization -- which is the true source of the godawful state of the Internet today.
