Vos sites & blogs de cuisine préférés ?
  • Pour l'instant je suis :

    • Owi Owi Fouette-moi mais j'ai encore testé aucune de ses recettes, elles ont juste l'air très bonnes
    • Les comptes Mastodon de deux-trois potes qui partagent leurs recettes perso de temps en temps

    Et sinon je cherche sur 750g (en général) quand je sais ce que je veux faire, mais sinon j'ai rien.

    Vos sites & blogs de cuisine préférés ?

    J'ai un peu de matériel, un four et des plaques de bonne qualité, et donc en ce moment je me chauffe à faire un peu plus de cuisine (je partais de zéro au début du COVID et je commence à me débrouiller sur toutes les bases, mais je ne cuisine quand même pas beaucoup de trucs sophistiqués, et en pâtisserie je n'ai absolument aucune connaissance).

    Vous avez des sites et blogs de cuisine/recettes à me conseiller ?

    [@asklemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) How do you listen to music / podcasts? At what places?
  • Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it's basic but it does what I need from it.

    Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that's gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don't listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

  • What's something you learned in your job that can be used in a solarpunk lifestyle?
  • I work in a tech role for a big tech company, so at first glance, not much. I like to believe that I'm good at planning stuff and figuring out how many hours by how many people it should take, which is a good skill for all kinds of issues.

  • Yet another simple introduction to the Fediverse

    alexsirac.com A simple introduction to the Fediverse | Alex

    Alex goes from Twitter to Mastodon, then explains how Mastodon is part of a nebula of platforms called the Fediverse, in a very simple way.

    A simple introduction to the Fediverse | Alex

    This was originally built to explain Meta's P92 to some people, and I slightly edited it to make it a bit more general. It starts with Twitter, then Mastodon, then the Fediverse as a whole in what I hope is an intuitive manner, and requires no "tech literacy" outside of knowing what Twitter and Facebook are like.

    Choice of Language
  • Communities don't need to have a single specific language and being able to share in our own language in a general community, especially outside of English, would be amazing. I know I've posted some content to book-related communities in French and was glad not to post to an empty French community, and I got some interaction on this.

    Agree with Flaky that we really need a default language choice to not have to set it up every time, though.

  • How does PeerTube work?
  • As said above, but shorter: the videos are stored on the servers like on a "regular" video hosting website. If there are peers available, then it relies on P2P for whatever's working; if not, it acts like a regular video website.

    To share fragments of a video I need to be consciously in the video?

    I actually have no idea about this one!

  • Why do Mastodon posts don't get many likes?
  • As said above, likes are virtually useless. They're more like "noticeable bookmarks". Mastodon etiquette is to boost rather than like, if you enjoy a toot, and that's also how it was when the Twitter timeline was chronological and didn't include likes, a very long time ago.

  • The Valieva (figure skating) doping case jury is set for September

    www.insidethegames.biz CAS sets September dates for WADA, RUSADA, ISU and Valieva case

    The Court of Arbitration for Sport is set to hear the appeals from the World Anti-Doping Agency, Russian Anti-Doping Agency, International Skating Uni...

    In January, a RUSADA Disciplinary Committee ruled that Valieva testing positive for trimetazidine was through no "no fault or negligence" of hers and disqualified the results at the Russian Championships on December 25 2021, the date of sample collection.

    However, WADA, RUSADA and the ISU have appealed seeking further sanctions.

    WADA wants a four-year ban for Valieva, including disqualification of her results at Beijing 2022.

    What are your favorite RSS feeds or tips?
  • Here are some feeds in English that I like:

    My subscriptions elsewhere (consolidation)

    • https://beehaw.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active - the RSS feed for my Lemmy subscriptions (replace the instance with yours if necessary)
    • Loads of RSS feeds for Mastodon hashtags that I enjoy
    • Archive of our own feeds for certain fandoms
    • RSS feeds for each Nebula channel I follow
    • Inoreader allows me to sync YouTube subscriptions, so I do that too
    • A bunch of Medium blogs

    Blogs I recommend

  • Lemmy reading RSS?
  • Good for them if people want them. I think as long as they're clearly marked as bots (for clarity) and on bot-specific instances (so you can easily block all of them at once if you hate it), it doesn't hurt anyone!

    when-if.com Surviving a Heatwave/Blackout Combo

    A couple weeks before this posting, I read this extremely grim article from the New York Times (I know, surprising, right?) about a study concerning blackouts during heatwaves and their effect on death and illness. The conclusion of this study is fairly easy to see: a blackout during a heatwave

    You need two women in your org (yes, even and especially in a heavily male-dominated field)

    alexsirac.com You need two women in your (heavily male-dominated) org | Alex

    In May 2021, I thought «hey, I really need to write an article on how you need two women in your org, not just one». This was for an esports organisation, in a field where we were struggling to reach 5-6% women, the organisation itself having fewer than 10 people. Having one woman was pretty […]

    > > In May 2021, I thought «hey, I really need to write an article on how you need two women in your org, not just one». This was for an esports organisation, in a field where we were struggling to reach 5-6% women, the organisation itself having fewer than 10 people. Having one woman was pretty progressive and cool at the time; and here I was, thinking «I can’t do this alone». And then I burned out and quit the game and never wrote the blog post.

    An Episode by Episode Plot Dissection of Secret Life of the American Teenager

    If you spend 4.5 hours watching this video, it's still less time wasted than if you watched the show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Got me laughing out loud every few minutes and I couldn't stop watching this absolutely wild ride through this iconic (and by iconic I mean truly terrible) anti-abortion show that somehow made it to prime time TV for five entire seasons.

    La réfugiée, Rabih Alameddine

    ungenreasoi.com La réfugiée, Rabih Alameddine | Un genre à soi

    L'avis d'une personne transgenre sur La Réfugiée de Rabih Alameddine, qui met en scène une médecin trans chez les réfugiés de Lesbos.

    La réfugiée, Rabih Alameddine | Un genre à soi

    Mon avis sur le roman "La réfugiée" (the wrong end of the telescope).

    Résumé :

    >📖 Mina est médecin. Elle part donner un coup de main, quelques jours, à Médecins Sans Frontières, sur l’île de Lesbos où se situe un camp de réfugiés pour la plupart syriens. Mina y trouve son ancienne amie Emma, un écrivain qui l’encourage à raconter ses histoires (« mais je t’en supplie, ne l’appelle pas Lesbienne libanaise à Lesbos« ), un homosexuel palestinien avec qui elle se prend immédiatement d’amitié, des enfants malins et étonnants. Elle y retrouve aussi son frère. Ils discutent de leur vie, de leur famille, une famille qui a tourné le dos à Mina quand elle a entamé sa transition et est partie vivre aux États-Unis. Enfin, il y a cette famille syrienne et Sumaiya, la matriarche, atteinte d’un cancer en phase terminale, avec qui Mina se lie d’amitié.

    Is there a FediAct equivalent for Lemmy?

    FediAct makes a bunch of redirections to Mastodon so that you can easily interact with people outside of your instance. Does Lemmy have a similar solution? I've been struggling hard to follow communities from federated instances, and would love to be able to do it in one click.

    www.tor.com The Cruel Optimism of the Gothic: Wealth, Class, and Villainy in YA Fiction

    The Cruel Optimism of the Gothic: Wealth, Class, and Villainy in YA Fiction

    My favourite quote: > The Gothic re-emerges in moments of economic upheaval, but more importantly, it re-emerges when we know the old world is rotten but the new one hasn’t appeared just yet.

    I also really loved Catherine House, a novel mentioned in this article.
