This year will be the first time eating fondue for New Years. Any good recommendations on sides and creative stuff to dunk? Idk what the formal names are but both cheese and oil fondue.

Other than that are there any cooking subs around? I've been looking but so far haven't found any.

I'm one of those degenerates that enjoy cyst popping videos, and my sources have all dried up at this point: I was lurking on r/popping_curated and popthatzit before that. I bet the majority of them are on TikTok now, but I don't want to make an account there just for this lol.

Do you think an article with this title belongs in a nottheonion community?

Moderation is work. Trolls traumatize. Humans powertrip. All this could be resolved via AI.

This is not a question about if you think it is possible, or not.

This is a question about your own will and desires. If there was a vote and you had a ballot in your hand, what will you vote? Do you want Artificial Intelligence to exist, do you not, maybe do you not care?

Here I define Artificial Intelligence as something created by humans that is capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it's self aware and have consciousness. All that with the processing power of computers behind it.

As for the important question that would arise of "Who is creating this AI?", I'm not that focused on the first AI created, as it's supposed that with time multiple AI will be created by multiple entities. The question would be if you want this process to start or not.

Feel really guilty, my one family member gave me this. I don't use much google stuff anymore and I really dislike the company as it gets more intrusive. Is there anything I can do with this thing besides give it away? Nothing is worse than getting a gift that you can't use.

These are the first holidays since dad brought his girlfriend home (he’s 47, she’s 24). My brother and I live with him. At this year’s Christmas meal besides the usual guests, mom and girlfriend’s parents were also present. Definitely an unusual situation but it was a nice event cause everybody was levelheaded.

[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn't count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

A few more sub questions

Any good resources about collecting and preserving these?

If I find a number of obscure ones what’s the best way to scan them in bulk to preserve them

Are there any good tools to convert cursive to print text (I can read cursive but not as well as I’d like, and some of these are very fine cursive writings)

Any other tips I should know?

Thanks!

What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I'd like to help if I can.

I'm also looking for projects only related to FOSS, or "in-the-spirit" of FOSS.

Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.

How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?

I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.

And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.

So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.

How about ANY FINITE SEQUENCE AT ALL?

Christmas feels different to me this year. Is it just me? How does today feel to you?

I'm talking people who could play multiple sports at a pro level like LeBron, MJ, Bo, Chef Curry

As a thinking experiment, let us consider that on the 1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions as been achieved and that it is possible to scale it in order to achieve industrial grade production level.

There is no limit on which animal tissues can be grown, so, any species is achieveable, only being needed a small cell sample from an animal to start production, and the cultivated tissues are safe for consumption.

There won't be any perceiveable price change to the end consummer, as the growing is a complex and labour intensive process, requiring specialized equipments and personnel.

Would you change to this new diet option?

In Venezuela the Christmas dish consists of Hallacas (like tamales but more elaborate); Ensalada de Gallina (with potatoes, carrots and diced apples with mayonnaise); Pernil de Cerdo and Pan de Jamón.

The hallaca is the main part, and as such the tastiest and my favorite, both to eat it and to make it, which is not at all easy since it requires the help of the whole family.

I bought a bunch of eneloop pro, but using them in connected thermostats is always displaying "low battery" even after just fully charged. This is when I discovered that they are actually 1.2V

It really came as a surprise, is there a catch? Are they only good for low power stuff like remote controls?

Edit: it seems they do exist in lithium. Question remains why are the NiMH only 1.2v and why are they the most widespread?

Hello there, I am looking for a good-quality A4 leather book cover for my journal and would love some recommendations. Ideally, I would like something durable and suitable for daily use. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!

I've been listening to a ton of classic xmas albums lately, and want some more to add to my xmas playlist.

Thx in advance.

Assuming the FDA and regulations don't exist. Also no normal food.
