  • Something tells me this isn’t the last word on the issue. If the fediverse concept is to succeed, then its two (current) largest players need to have some cross-functionality.

    I strongly disagree here. They might be using the same protocol, but the user expectations are something completely different. I’ve tried mastodon and really don’t get the appeal, just like I never understood why people want something like Twitter. And I’m sure there are some Mastodon users out there who can’t be bothered about Lemmy.

    Forcing them into one common framework feels like alienating both to me.


  • The idea of a non-profit holding sounds great, but what about collateral damage if shit really hit the fan? Would it not be smarter to have a separate entity for each platform? They could all have essentially the same statutes, boards, directors etc. etc., so in case if one really got under heavy fire, the others wouldn’t be affected? I know it means more admin work and probably also requires some governing policies with regards to the funding distribution, but might be cleaner in the end.









  • I’ve had some mango-infused beans that were quite interesting, from a small roaster in Hungary. I don’t like acidity at all, so getting any fruity notes in a coffee that’s not tainted by acid is a rare find for me, so I liked it quite a bit. On the other hand I don’t really see the difference of adding (microdosing, really) flavorings to the coffee after brewing if I just want a hint of something else.

    Been experimenting around a bit, and what really does it for me is to use a cinnamon stick to stir a freshly brewed espresso for a a few seconds. Can be reused for weeks. Adds a very subtle, mellow flavor that I quite enjoy.


  • If it’s anything like Kopi Bubuk from Indonesia (fine as literal flour), then it’s meant to be brewed in the cup. Simply put a heaped tablespoon into a mug, fill with boiling water, stir it for a second, let rest for a bit, stir it again, let rest until all grounds sink to the bottom, and then drink it carefully. You’ll still drink some grounds, but they are so fine it hardly matters.

    Indonesians drink this type of coffee with a bucket of sugar and often condensed milk, but that’s optional. I enjoy it pure, and keep buying it whenever I’m in Indo, as it’s hard to find elsewhere in the world.









  • Nova launcher, custom made icons in purely B/W to match my background image. Some are entirely self made, some come from various online sources, some are AI generated and manually retouched.

    Opening the folders on the home screen shows the app icons in color, otherwise transparent overlay would be a messy mix of lines.

    (example with opened “security” folder)

    Single screen homepage, no widgets. I hate animations and scrolling.
