It looks more like she’s saying that the tweet about Applebaum is less important, not the article about him

Kill it with (gun) fire!

Has anyone followed the links to see what the deal is?

Definitely unpopular!

She is, indeed, a blivet

Depending on the details, might be worth doing just to fuck with the input. But it might not be

A reference? No, but I checked out their site, searched for any mentions of encryption, and the only part of their services that mention out is their password keeper. Since they only mention it there, that would point to that being the only part that has it, since neglecting to mention it for other aspects seems like a giant gap in their marketing

I’ve been saying that for a couple of years now. They started fucking with third party ink at least a year ago

Well, ignoring anything else, cozy lacks the encryption proton drive has.

Which makes it little or no better than any other cloud provider, afaict.

But, if you can’t make use of proton being encrypted because they’re dipshits about making their stuff Linux friendly, then they’re no better than any other options. So you might as well go with whatever gives you the most bang for the buck

Because that’s the only way it got laughs at all

Don’t kink shame me!

Ahh, had to throw a down vote.

Every coffee snob I’ve ever met runs this same routine.

Also, it’s pointless as well as a badly framed idea.

You do know that different roasts, and different beans, each have subtleties that can be brought more to the front, or moved back, with the application of milk, cream, sugar, honey, salt, lemon, and other less popular options? Or are you not aware?

Because that’s just roast and species. Once you get into regional varieties, it opens up even more. An Arabica grown in Ethiopia and roasted blonde is going to be different than a Kona, or a generic Columbian.

Take Kona and Ethiopian as perfect examples. Depending on exactly what you want out of the coffee, most Ethiopian beans favor darker roast. Kona tends to be better with a light or medium (again, depending in desired results).

You take Ethiopian black, and it’s good. Great even. But it’s going to be more bitter, less fruity, and decidedly not floral. You add in a splash of milk or cream, and that bitterness fades to the background, and you can taste the spicy notes and the earthiness. Add in some sugar, sparingly, and the spice climbs further front, while the bitterness almost disappears.

Kona, however is a highly fruity, bright coffee no matter how it’s roasted, but when it’s done dark, it tastes burnt without milk or cream. And, at lighter roasts, a hint of sugar or honey opens up the fruit and deepens it. So, in both cases, Kona may be better with one or both.

Both of those benefit from the tiniest pinch of salt, whereas something like a Blue Mountain suffers from any of it, with the possible exception of a teeny tiny splash of milk if it has been sitting for a while. Blue Mountain tends to lose it’s complexity and develop a certain sourness if it isn’t stored well, as its normal acidity just doesn’t seem to like being too dry.

Now, yeah, once you dump enough in, it’s about the caffeine rather than flavor. But the truth is that your average cup of grocery store coffee isn’t that great to begin with. It’s flat, one note. Which is fine, and there’s a strong argument that wasting money on fancy coffee that you aren’t going to be able to sit and really savor is kinda silly. So why not douse it with whatever makes you happy, and get your caffeine fix?

Black coffee is great, but it isn’t some kind of automatic thing where it’s going to be pleasant by default. Have you ever been in a hospital break room? The stuff that gets stocked in most of those is shit by even grocery store coffee standards. But it’s hot, cheap, and usually free for the employees that may have to abandon it at no notice. So who cares what’s in it to make it bearable?

Coffee snobs love to bag on Starbucks for being mid tier at best. And I ain’t gonna argue against that. But you know what makes mid tier coffee drinkable when you’re stuck in traffic? Cream and sugar. Maybe even pumpkin spice, if that’s your fetish.

There’s as many ways to enjoy coffee as there are mouths. Trying to coffee snob black coffee as some kind of purity test is just snobbery

Tiny gets used like that? Damn, I’m behind.

Pft, everyone knows macOS is just a fancy DE on top of Hannah Montana Linux

Sorry, but this is a super common take.

Calibre is the answer to pretty much all ebook questions, including this one.

You forgot one bottleneck. The bottleneck.

If you can get a copy of the apk, it still works fine. Might have to jump through some hoops on some Samsung devices though. They started bring dicks about old apps. But they work fine, it’s just getting it installed.

It happens

Here’s the trick to that.

It’s their body, so they have a say in things. Ideally, anything that’s about their body would be their choice, but some stuff just isn’t realistic, like medical decisions as one example.

However, they’re also going to deal with the fallout of such decisions.

A lot of kids, not just boys, go through a phase where they reject the seemingly arbitrary enforcement of hygiene standards.

So, when they make an adult decision, they can deal with adult consequences.

You aren’t required to sit in a car with someone that smells unpleasant. Nor at a dinner table, or on the couch.

Now, if them not using a given product doesn’t cause them to smell bad, there’s zero harm in it, so a parent would be a dick for trying to enforce an unnecessary thing, even by that method. If you’re trying to enforce pointless things, you’re fighting the wrong fight. Believe it or not, deodorants and antiperspirants aren’t the only way to keep oneself from smelling bad, and not using them doesn’t always result in an unpleasant smell. There’s a lot to be said for just bathing daily and giving the pits and crotch a scrub when you’re in the bathroom for other things

However, if they aren’t willing to do what it takes to not stank, remind them that adult choices have different consequences, and that you aren’t obligated to take them places, let them use your vehicle, sit around the dinner table with everyone else, snuggle on the couch for movies, or even sit on the couch at all. You can also enforce that they clean their private spaces (bedroom or other spots that they have where they have an expectation of privacy) more often so that those places don’t start to smell bad either

A stanky adult is quickly going to discover that people don’t want them around when they stank. Might take a while for friends and family to start objecting seriously, but out in the world, it can happen fast.

But respect body autonomy while doing so. It really, truly is something that they need to have. And it’s important to teach them that they should be able to expect body autonomy, even when there are consequences to some of the choices made.

It works. I’ve seen it work dozens of times, because I come from a big extended family that used to spend a lot of time together. Every generation of kids, there’s going to be a handful of them that express their body autonomy like this. Maybe it’s not bathing, maybe it’s deodorant, or hair washing, or a clothing issue. Staying gentle, but not backing down about it, you both keep their trust, and show them that every choice has consequences, even if tiny ones.

My personal phase, it was very effective. My grandmother, if I was smelling rough, would tell me to go wash up as soon as I walked in the door. After the first few times, it was “you know where the washcloths are.” If I didn’t wash, I could bloody well sit outside if the weather was safe. My mom and dad enforced similar boundaries.

Took maybe a couple of days before I got the point, and a couple of weeks before my stubborn ass decided they had a good point, and improved my routine.

Will it absolutely work for everyone, every time? Of course not. But it’s a gentle way that helps foster a sense of self control, of having a say in their life, as they’re needing to explore who they are the most. The key though, is gentle but firm.

You don’t say “you stink, go away” or some shit. You say “washing up is mandatory if you want to sit with the rest of us.” You make it a choice, if a limited one. Give them as many options as possible, too. If they’re objecting to deodorant in specific, maybe offer washing up, or changing clothes if the smell is more from that.

In other words make it about the actual problem rather than them. It isn’t that they’re bad or dumb, or anything else like that. It’s that personal hygiene is important for skin health, and social interactions. They don’t necessarily have to shower to be clean. They don’t have to use deodorant to not smell bad, or to smell good. So present them with alternatives after figuring out why they don’t want that specific method
