UK here. Most people I work with will have Signal or Telegram. However my kids and the parents groups and schools all use WhatsApp.

None of them could get their friends to switch from WhatsApp. Nobody gives a shit at all about Meta and their dodgy data practices. Convenience is king. "aLL mY frIEnDs aRE oN WHatSaPp!"

They will literally be excluded if they don't use it.

Super-frustrating and makes me feel pretty helpless tbh.

It was okay. I don't mean this as a 'review', but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don't really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I'm also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that's how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.

I'm not up to speed on the environmental impact of cotton farming, but it would be pretty cool if this technology could be applied to stuff like the oil palm, which only grows in tropical areas.

Kind of. Father has turned into a religious right Trump supporting nutjob. COVID is bs, vaccine 'changed your DNA', etc. He's 80 now, and the sad part is he used to be a science teacher.

And then he got leukemia. Because of his BS rhetoric, my mother and brother who live with him couldn't visit him in the hospital because they all refused to get the vaccine. My brother almost lost his job over it.

Anyways get this: my dad got COVID while he was in the middle of chemo with zero white blood cell count, and recovered in like 3 days! And .. is in remission from leukemia and has stopped chemo.

So I mean he's really damned lucky, but this all just reinforces his view that COVID was nothing and he made the right choice. Meanwhile he spams my inbox with alt right bullshit all day. The fact I live in a different country and only see him once a year keeps things cordial I think.

 

You can select Home -> hamburger button -> Communities, but that just lists your subscriptions. I want to be able see all available communities for the instance I'm logged into.

It's available using the web UI, but I can't figure out how to do it with Jerboa.

If you make the bread yourself (i.e. with a breadmaker) it's dirt cheap. I buy flour and yeast in bulk and it costs bugger all per loaf.

You could maybe argue bread isn't healthy because it's technically a processed food (flour, carbs, etc.), but as others have pointed out moderation is key.
