Not that many people use real computers any more. At work, you may need to use a computer, but you probably can’t change the browser. At home, you have the PCMR folks who use a computer and probably also care about browsers. Everyone else just uses a tablet or a phone for browsing the web.

Speaking of the web, most people interact with specific websites through an app and an API, so they don’t even launch the mobile browser until they have to visit a site that doesn’t have an app. The world has changed and browsers aren’t as relevant as they used to be.

Is sleep hygiene important in your life? For example, you watch youtube videos close to bedtime?

From the perspective of chemical equilibriums, there is a clear difference.

In a normal V60, the solid bed is constantly fed with fresh water, while the permeate is also removed at roughly the same rate. This means, that it’s unlikely that the grinds would even come close to an equilibrium with the water phase. If you want to maintain maximum rate of extraction for all compounds, this is the way to do it. In the short term, it makes sense to do so, because that’s how you make delicious coffee. However the longer you keep irrigating, the less useful it gets.

Immersion brewing leads to a situation where different compounds will begin to approach an equilibrium. If that happens, the rate of extraction will slow down, which can be good or bad depending on the compound you’re talking about.

Fortunately though, sugars tend to extract rather quickly whereas compounds responsible for bitter notes require more time. The problem is, I don’t really know if any of them will come close to an equilibrium in immersion brewing.

In theory, there is a difference. Can people taste the difference? Probably some can. Can I? Don’t think so. If you’re really good at tasting, and you care about differences like this, then go for it.

I know that I enjoy my fruity specialty coffee, and it’s clearly different from the popular light roast available at my local supermarket. Is the difference really worth 5x price? Not every day, since the difference in taste and quality isn’t really that big for me.

Similarly, you have to assess can you even taste the difference. If you can, is it really worth it to you. The only way to know for sure, is to make a cup with each method, and compare them side by side.

Is this one of those cases where you would need to make a parallel universe and let it run for billions of years to prove this idea?

It is absorbed by the mind of the listener, and stored for later use in the memory. As old memories fade away, you could also say that eventually it gets destroyed in the memory.

But Google would much rather keep all of the data for themselves. If you could actually control what’s happening in your phone, it could interfere with Google’s main business model.

But there’s water all around it.

Some wise Lemmy user once said something like this: “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features. MacOS is a consumer OS with enterprise features.”

If that’s really the case, MS doesn’t really care that much about the consumer market. My guess is, most of the money comes from various companies anyway.

Less confusing date formats were invented much later, so this is all you get.

If you’re a software developer or an enthusiast, you’ll notice it immediately. You’ve been reading and hearing about the new release of the BestThingEver 3.14, and you’re totally hyped up about it. You rush to install BTE to experience how awesome it is only to find out that the Debian repos still have a BTE 2.0.5 and none of the cool new features everyone has been talking about for the last 6 months.

Oh, that didn’t sound familiar? If you can’t tell the difference between two versions of a particular application, Debian will be perfectly fine for you.

True, but since size wasn’t explicitly mentioned as a condition, it should be fine.

What about Australia? It’s sort of dangling from Papua New Guinea, isn’t it?

It is absolutely soul crushing. Here, have some flowers to cheer you up. 💐

May take a while, but you’ll be ok eventually.

What’s next? Build a firewall and make Reddit pay for it?

Time to make a new text expansion: “ “=“, ” This way, every time you hit space, you also get a comma.

But he did create lots of entertainment as a byproduct of all of this. In this regard, Trump is his worst competitor.

Yeah, but the future seems bright.

Why does anyone do anything. Sheer absolute boredom.

I’ve sometimes thought about that. Maybe in an alternate reality there’s a someone with my face who isn’t held back by any sort of morality whatsoever. Once you open that door, you can totally start spreading the stupidest ideas you can think of, and you’ll find someone who believes it and becomes your devout follower. I have a feeling that Scientology came about as a result of this sort of thinking.
