@ZachWeinersmith 350g strong flour, 240ml warm water, 2tsp salt, 2tsp dry yeast, 1tsp caster sugar, 2tbsp olive oil. Mix dry ingredients, then add the oil & water to a well in the centre. Mix to a dough and knead. Form to a ball, leave to rise for 1 hour. Makes around 3 large-ish pizzas. I love this dough, and I like spreading pesto under the tomato sauce. It's also been much better since I got a new oven that can heat from below and has a fan, even though it's only 250°C

@stux @chris It's largely the difference as I understand it between social liberalism and economic liberalism. Economic liberalism is generally the idea that nobody should be limited by the government, and therefore the rich can do whatever they like. Social liberalism is the idea that everyone should have a good level of freedom, and sometimes the government might need to step in to lift some people up or stop others getting too powerful.

I'm running a #Pathfinder game as semi-open world, with a few different factions & quest givers. I'm expecting the party to choose whether or not to do some missions, or to distrust some NPCs, but sometimes they just don't go where I've hinted plot is happening, or actively avoid going where I expect them to, unless they actually have *nothing* to do.Any tips, other than just telling them "please go here" or turning it into a linear campaign? #ttrpg

@stux I was wondering how we got to a world where saying something funny on a video once leads to employing multiple people and setting up a trust in the Cayman Islands to last for "years"; then I remembered The Simpsons:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qb9Wq1PY1Y

@stux the idea of federating with a mass market platform seemed good, but threads never bothered to let their users see fedi posts (unless maybe they triple-opt-in) so it's pointless.And now he's announcing that he views European laws with contempt and thinks the US should force us to change them?Get in the sea.

@stux as well as shareware, this was common in the early days of mobile gaming. Free base game with one or two levels, pay to get more. You know what you're buying, and you get to keep it, so it feels fair and the user can be happy with their purchase instead of feeling a compulsion

@stux it's a shame that nobody on threads will know what happened or why

@stux I think there's at least another year that whenever a company claims that they need to milk their players for all the money they have because "games are so expensive to make", I can just reply "But Baldur's Gate 3"It's sad how astounding it is these days to find a video game company that just makes games and sells them

@stux Just subbed via Patreon. I tried last month but I used some other platform that didn't work - I think you've removed it now.I would have tried Bunq if I knew that was the lowest fee, but oh well.

@stux I'm in the UK, can't see anything in my news feed. I can't see any option to list pages I'm following, and I'm not going to search for that arsehole.

@stux @pluralistic thanks to @kde my text editor's save function worked directly over FTP, for the absolute minimum possible testing 😁

@stux remember that it's trivial to add filters to ignore web form submissions containing text like "Elon Musk" or whatever the address of the Whitehouse is

@stux Is that €1400 per month? I know you've got some big instances, but that sounds like a lot. Is the cost roughly the same every month? I've seen other admins post their costs and regular donations - this might be a good way to encourage people to donate because they know the target you need to makeCan the remote media cleaning be done automatically to keep bills down before it happens?

@stux Might be under the same principle that the stolen documents at Mar-a-lago were "not classified". They are automatically declassified at the point of being leaked :-p

@stux I've heard that one reason can be that there's only so much data your disk can write at once at high speed. So basically windows thinks data has been copied, but it's just going into a cache. When that fills up, it has to wait for that to be written to the real disk, until space is available in the cache again.

@stux Makes me think of what was described as something like "A driving game where nobody on the development team owns a car, or even likes cars"https://whatthegames.com/car

I picked some chard from the garden for dinner, and this neighbour's cat got very excited about me walking round holding a plate above it! Sure, I've seen the videos, but never had a cat actually jumping up and meowing at me for some of those tasty, tasty... leaves.Pictures are *after* I showed it a few times that I only had vegetables. Wish I'd been carrying my phone earlier, and had 3 hands#gardening #gardeningUK #cats

@stux one day they'll make an LLM specially to tell people off for swearing. Because there's no circumstances imaginable that you shouldn't be forced to use an LLM
