Because actual good quality rice tastes good. Thai jasmine rice for example is fluffy, moist, and fragrant. Then there’s all sorts of ways of elevating it like fried rice, sticky rice, etc. In Asia, rice is not just a side dish, it’s a main component of a meal.

Probably because no one has decided to eat it yet.

I fucking knew it. Didn’t look at the community the post is in and halfway down I realized he’d be down there somewhere.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Glad I held back from suggesting Firefish for my wife. I’ve been slowly trying to convince her to jump to the fediverse for microblogging and figured to have her try Firefish simply because it’s prettier than Mastodon. Guess it’s back to ol’ Mastodon.

Plan? Just do it.

My condolences to the people who have to install it to write an article about it.

FWIW, this was debunked when CMG originally made the claim. It was a marketing guy overselling their product and they had to correct their statement. They use the same info data brokers collect, and phones actively listening to you is not true.

Both links are paywalled, but if I’m remembering correctly, that company (CMG) eventually had to correct their claim that phones were actively listening to everything you say. It was an overzealous marketing guy trying to oversell. They admitted in the end that they use the same info that data brokers have on you based on data gathered from your browsing and other activity, not from actively listening to you.

Siri for example is designed in a way where it “listens” for your voice to call it, but that mechanism is completely separate from the actual Siri that connects to the internet to understand you.

Lol calm down, no one’s trying to fight you over Signal being the best private messaging platform. I was just sharing that it was weird to me how stories was one of the most sought out features from users.

They also added stories which, despite what the internet might have you believe, was one of the most popular feature requests on the Signal message boards for many years

This was weird for me personally. I consider Signal a messaging tool which in my mind is separate from an actual social media app, so it was a bit of a head scratcher for me to see stories as a very popular feature request. I don’t really care about sharing “stories” in that format to my contacts or seeing theirs, but then again that’s just me.

You were lucky. Many education systems around the world still use memorization instead of comprehension as a measurement of learning.

Mastodon (microblogging, follow users) and Lemmy (forum, follow topics) cater to different kinds of users. I don’t subscribe to personalities, I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.

Yeah it’s worth noting that the employee in this case had the resources to fight. Hopefully other regular non-executive employees can use it as precedent for their own lawsuits.

I was just gonna say, those are the pillar men right?

His fish part is designed like he’s just a human wearing a suit, not like an actual fish.

What happens to the spaces the adult teeth take up once they get out?

I’ve been using the IOS app since it was launched and just wanted to say you’re awesome! The app has been very helpful when I need to check my city’s sub and r/nba (both exist in lemmy but aren’t as active yet).

You’ll still get a broken window and steering column because the thieves can’t tell if the car has had the update or not and will still attempt to steal it.

There’s a dude in wallstreetbets who dumped a $700k inheritance into Intel stocks. lol
