Have you read the story of Panko breadcrumbs?

It came from food and fuel shortages in WW2 where the ingredients for bread but no ovens or equipment to cook it into anything. One guy hooked a bunch of dough up to a car battery and electrocuted it and created a crustless loaf with a weird texture. He also discovered this weird texture made for great even sized crumbs with a uniform colour and after the war ended decided to turn it into a business.

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

Youtube’s recommendation algo is insane.

I get 2nd amendment nutcases telling me the dems are gonna steal my guns and trans women are gonna rape all my family in public toilets.

I’m British, living in Britain, but I sometimes looking up what the best gun attachments are on call of duty…

There are tools like sshfs that let you mount remote directories as if they're local. Most of the time I tend to use nnn with some of the little extra bits you can find in the docs like cd to last directory on quit and multi-colored tabs etc.

It is yet another Chromium based browser but for when Chromium is needed for compatibility reasons, it’s got some pretty cool features like split panes and mobile sites as a sidebar etc.

Firefox always number 1 though.

Thanks for the insight, I’ve been looking at replacing an aging thinkpad that I use to tinker with linux on but not much else on. I keep fluctuating between getting their one of their most basic models and using it as a tinkering machine or completely maxing the specs and using it as my primary machine and fully switching to desktop Linux.

Your insight has made this decision harder so… thanks? Haha!

I’m getting the exact same shit on shorts constantly. Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, Piers Morgan, some kid explaining why women should stay in the kitchen, another guy screaming that trans people don’t exist, some imam thinking he’s making people look stupid for not believing in god, etc

I’m not sure if I’m impressed in my ad/content blocking and general internet hygiene that google/youtube knows me so badly or worried that so many people, particularly young/impressionable people, who may not have such strongly opposed views to that hateful crap, are getting brainwashed and radicalized into having extreme conservative views.

My house would not change, it would just become Kevin’s house. I’d be back in with my parents.
