I think you might have missed an image or something?

I've been on a retro Faye Wong kick, actually.

Where the F/OSS stuff is "good enough" I use it. Where it isn't good enough, I don't.

This is pretty much how I deal with everything. Ideology in tools is a weird thing to me. Computers are a tool I use to perform the tasks I want to perform. I use what works.

Thus it is that I use Windows 10 (non-F/OSS), LibreOffice at home (F/OSS), a mix of LibreOffice and WPS Office (non-F/OSS) at work, Zen (F/OSS) as my browser except for those extremely rare circumstances where a web site doesn't work in Zen, Taobao (non-F/OSS) and AliPay (non-F/OSS) for shopping, etc. etc. etc. These are all "good enough" for my needs while keeping my costs down.

Now the recent US trade idiocy is changing some of that calculus and from this point onward I won't buy commercial software from an American company any longer; I'd rather do without than buy American, so perhaps some ideology gets involved, but that's a very recent "innovation" for me.

So, as expected, no actual alternative, just blather. Got it.

Buh-bye.

The way to ask for them is to either show that picture (they'll know what it is instantly from that) or "LAH TEE-OW" with the latter pronounced as a single syllable.

I don't know what those Turkish things are, but perhaps Chinese 辣条 (lit. "spicy strip") could take their place if you'd prefer something more chewy in texture. They come in a bewildering variety of flavours, textures, and spice levels that range from "huh, that's got a bit of a bite" to "OMFGICAN'TFEELMYMOUTHTHROUGHTHEFLAMES!".

This one is on the lower end of medium spice and is intended to be "beef" flavoured. It's OK. Not spicy enough for my needs, though.

Oh, I didn't catch who it was or I'd not have responded.

Another account banned. That's a repeating pattern and yet he can't seem to figure it out, despite how "smart" he puts on airs over.

When i was eight years old, I had chili at a fast food place. It came with a little satchel of "hot" sauce and I put it in, over the advice of my father.

It was so hot I burst into tears.

Now I routinely eat stuff like this (from the red side only!) and barely break a sweat, and that tear-inducing chili wouldn't even register as trying to be spicy:

Tolerance building is an actual thing.

And they make up the majority of LemmyInternet users in general! lmao

Fixed that for you. 😉

There is a certain crowd that seems to insist on there being only One True Way to play RPGs, and that is the dungeon crawl (or sometimes they'll also permit the hex crawl to join that list).

I finally got the musical instrument I've been lusting over for years now:

… but the vast majority of so-called “activists” aren’t …

This kind of "activist" is best termed a "slacktivist".

Before I click, is this another One True Way video?

I have to keep track of the ever-changing landscape of what offends people this week.

Maybe you want to edit this so there's a direct link? Like putting in !unlockthread@lemm.ee in the text somewhere (or whatever the link format is)?

"Capitalism is the point."

"Enshittification is the point."

They're the same sentence!

I'll update my slurs list. That's an entirely new one on me.

The last time the USA tried to take my country of citizenship, even before we were an independent country, they had their capital sacked and occupied with a lot of government buildings set on fire, including what was then called the presidential mansion.

Or if someone did try to derail the focus of the forum, they'd get booted and it was over.
