Relevant bit from the article, because some of y'all apparently comment before reading:

The staffers who resigned were all originally employees of the United States Digital Service, a technology unit established during President Obama’s second term in 2014. The unit was renamed and reorganized in January via executive order by Trump into the Musk-headed DOGE.

TBF, it says "European", not "good".

Gleiches Gedankenspiel funktioniert auch für Personen jenseits der 45/50 und für weitere Eigenschaften. Ich bin es echt nur noch leid, dass alte weiße Männer nach wie vor als "Normperson" akzeptiert werden, während andere Personen stets einem Rechtfertigungsdruck ausgesetzt sind.

Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

Also, his wife must've been enthused to see he brought all his "performance upgrades."

Isn't that charisma-based?

The left side is the position that definitions of intelligence are all arbitrary, and that psychologists just make up tests and call what it measures "intelligence."

The middle is the position that there is a real thing that can be called "intelligence," which can be defined in different (meaningful) ways, and that intelligence tests are objective ways to measure it.

The right side is the position that intelligence is probably still real and can probably still be defined in different (meaningful) ways, but that we can never directly measure intelligence and instead observe it indirectly through observable indicators like someone's performance on an intelligence test. This means that any practical statement about intelligence, while probably real and definable, are contingent on the specific test used to measure it.

In his defense, that's a pretty juicy looking armchair.

Germany's AfD's far-right leader Alice Weidel held secret meetings with Chinese envoy, it has also emerged that she was on China’s payroll for several years in c/europe@feddit.org

Is this what she meant when she called Hitler a "communist"? Not like "ew, communists" but "oh yeah, communists, like the good folks in the CCP who gave me money"?

CryptPad - A collaborative office suite, end-to-end encrypted and open-source (cryptpad.org)

Link to their main instance: https://cryptpad.fr/

From the "About" section on their website:

CryptPad provides a full-fledged office suite with all the tools necessary for productive collaboration. Applications include: Rich Text, Spreadsheets, Code/Markdown, Kanban, Slides, Whiteboard and Forms.

End-to-end encrypted

All data on CryptPad is encrypted in the browser. This means no readable data leaves the user's device. Even the service administrators cannot see the content of documents or user data. Illustration showing two paper shredders destroying and reconstructing a sheet of paper. Illustration of three people collaborating on a document. They can see the document but the server connecting them only sees random letters and digits.

Private Collaboration

CryptPad is built to enable collaboration with features such as team drives, calendar, and sharing. It synchronizes changes to documents in real time. Because all data is encrypted, the service and its administrators have no way of seeing the content being edited and stored.

Fully open-source

CryptPad is free software. Anyone can host the platform in a personal or professional capacity. The development team offers subscriptions and support contracts for ready-to-use deployments.

[QUESTION] What can replace onions and garlic? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by rustydrd@sh.itjust.works to c/cooking@lemmy.world

35 comments fedilink

I love cooking, and most dishes I cook contain some kind of onions or garlic in varying amounts. Unfortunately, my partner doesn't handle them well, so I want to replace them as much as I can.

Leek is one decent alternative to onions, and I've recently discovered Asafoetida, a spice that creates an oniony flavor. But onions are also important for texture, especially in saucy dishes, and both leek and spices replace that poorly. Fennel works sometimes but alters the taste.

Garlic generally seems hard to replace, although I've had some success with only slightly squashing the cloves and fishing them out before serving.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions. Anybody know any good alternatives, any cool tips or tricks I could try?

Edit: To clarify, the issue is that my partner can't digest them properly and they cause pain (likely a mild food allergy). The flavor is not an issue, and we both enjoy the stuff that we cook apart from this issue.
