Our stovetop is having issues and I’d had a similar thought, so I’m hanging out to hear people’s reckons on this too!

I think this is what I came here to say, too! Bags of MSG are soooo cheap, I have a tiny jar of it next to my oven and it’s so satisfying and so much fun to taste what you’re cooking before and after adding a sprinkle of MSG. Amazing difference!

I’ve learnt to add umami in lots of other ways, but for some recipes, msg really is a good hit.

Butterflied roast chicken was the single recipe from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat that really nailed home so many of the lessons for me - especially about seasoning your meat overnight! Amazing what a difference it makes - one of my fave easy cooks now!

I currently use nextjs and prismic for my CMS - while there are some nextjs themes and starters, it’ll probably require some coding (which I enjoy!). A benefit of next is that it has incremental static regeneration, so can update pages without having to rebuild the whole site.

I’ve also used Sanity on pretty much every other site I’ve built and it’s fantastic!

I’m looking at rebuilding my blog from scratch at the moment - I kind of have a whole different purpose for it now. I’m looking at Astro instead of Next, and thinking about TinaCMS over sanity - partly to try something new, partly because the speed and simplicity of Astro with a visual builder writing markdown is exciting to me!

Absolutely try some function key combos - I did something similar this week by setting my keyboard to “ma” and not “mao” this week and got an Arabic script instead of te reo Māori and all of a sudden none of my keybinds worked, but hitting fn+alt+f2 got me to a tty and saved me.

I’ve been using it for the last week and really enjoy it - I’m on an m1 air and asahi is so much snappier than macOS, which is saying something because it still sings!

There’s a few key hardware features still missing - mic, speaker, and the thunderbolt port (so hdmi and external displays) that are preventing me from driving it fully because I do a lot of presentations at work, but it’s quick enough to boot into mac when I need to.

Occasionally there’s something that doesn’t want to run on arm architecture, but there’s usually an alternative - and it sounds like 4k paging is close.

Give it a shot! I’m invested cos I wanna hear more people’s take on it 😅

Can someone point me where to find information on how to centre that right window like that? Is it a floating window? I have so many programs that make more sense to me to not take the full height of the column!

Oh, thank you! I’m glad you found it useful - I did too.

Multiple shortcuts, I imagine - the one in this screenshot looks like “dg” to search DuckDuckGo.

Congrats! This must be so exciting - I’m excited for you! Housing in NZ is wild at the moment and I’m thinking so much about our living situation and where we might be headed - I’m so keen to get away from the instability of renting, but also to travel, and our housing market is totally inaccessible, so I’ll be watching along with interest!

I loooove making lasagna and thought mine was good, but I’m so excited to try this bolognese sauce recipe! I use Samin Nosrat’s pomarolla sauce which is pretty great, too.

This is such a strange read - the article starts by talking about how Gen Z are prioritising wellbeing over wealth (true and so important to talk about) but then just totally rags on them for having no motivation and ‘delusional’ thinking? It touches so briefly on how the norms and expectations previous generations had are now absolutely inaccessible for so many, then criticises them for ‘manifestation’ and not just trying?

This is so worth talking about but I think a much more useful and interesting analysis would be looking at why manifestation is on the rise, and why so much focus is on wellbeing over wealth - and how exactly traditional goals like home ownership and retirement became so out of reach. But that would require more than just name-dropping late stage capitalism and actually acknowledging its failures though, huh?

This looks interesting - I was an early notion adopter but haven’t used it in ages. Have you used affine yet? The demo leaves a lot to be desired on mobile at least, but I’m going to keep an eye on it!

Saving this post to remind myself later once I’ve written up my list for the week! It’s winter here, so might be a coq au vin or bourguinon on the cards!

Edit: okay here I am! On the list this week is a sesame beef stir fry, a loganisa breakfast sandwich, pork tacos, and pizzas. This Friday is the public holiday for Matariki in Aotearoa, a celebration of the Māori new year and a time to reflect. On Friday I’m making a big pot of boil up to celebrate!

I love my RP - i picked one up second hand a few months ago. I’ve always been a budget shooter, though, and it’s the newest camera I’ve had (upgraded from an original sony a7) so ymmv. I love how compact it is, and the ability to use OF lenses - but that part is true of all of them!

Legit I miss threads - it had a great feature where you could only get notified for messages, or only get notified for messages from close friends. It meant I could turn off notifications from the instagram app entirely and not miss important messages!

Reddit is making some funny moves here that I reckon will backfire - forcing antiwork to reopen considering it’s likely a community with strong feelings about strikes and action. They’ve also forced piracy to reopen, which I reckon might backfire on them too.
