For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it's really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I'm feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I'll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

If anyone's curious, here's the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

The romance language definition begs the question, are French-Canadians Latino?

Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;

  1. Practice, it's a lot less stressful to practice new techniques or variations on latte art when you know you'll cover it up with a lid, so who cares if it's messed up?

  2. It's fun!

You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.

I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let's say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I'd typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.

Since when are 3 year olds being sent to school?

Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn't)

That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.

Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It's a form of metonym.

Another example of metonymy would be "White House cracks down on crime", obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. "White House" in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.

Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊

What happens to chicks is an intrinsic part of egg farming, though.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

After some searching, maybe following the instructions on this blog post would work?

I'm by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

You don't need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.

Also, from an animal rights standpoint, "hey we don't kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!" is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.

Government when funding public transit: multiple feasibility studies, public opinion surveys, town hall meetings

Government when funding car infrastructure: "Eh fuck it, plop it down and we'll figure it out later"

 

Jake Moffatt was booking a flight to Toronto and asked the bot about the airline's bereavement rates – reduced fares provided in the event someone needs to travel due to the death of an immediate family member.

Moffatt said he was told that these fares could be claimed retroactively by completing a refund application within 90 days of the date the ticket was issued, and submitted a screenshot of his conversation with the bot as evidence supporting this claim.

The airline refused the refund because it said its policy was that bereavement fare could not, in fact, be claimed retroactively.

Air Canada argued that it could not be held liable for information provided by the bot.

La Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) se retrouve dans une position délicate. Radio-Canada a appris qu’une personne non binaire vient d’obtenir un permis de conduire avec le marqueur de sexe X, une première au Québec. Pourtant, la SAAQ s’abstient de faire le changement pour les autres personnes qui ont formulé exactement la même demande.

 

Hello! I've posted this a few weeks ago on /c/linux4noobs@programming.dev but I didn't get much of an answer, I hope it's okay to post it here as well.

I use 3 audio devices on my computer: my monitor's speakers (through HDMI), my headphones (through line-out/built-in audio) and my microphone (line-in/built-in audio). They all work fine, but when I reboot my headphones / line-out don't seem to get recognized at all.

The only solution I've found thus far is to re-install alsa-utils twice after rebooting. Upon the first reinstall, my line-out / headphones reappear but my line-in mic disappears, only to come back after the second reinstall. Technically my sound works perfectly fine after this, but it feels extremely dumb to reinstall a package twice after every reboot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :)

 

Hi there! For context, I'm on EndeavourOS using Pipewire.

So like the title says, my audio configuration works until I reboot my PC and then I need to fix it. I'm using both my CPU's internal audio (to power a microphone and headphones through 3.5mm audio jacks) as well as my GPU (to send audio to my monitor through HDMI). I never use the headphones and monitor speakers concurrently, I switch between them in the device manager as needed.

When I reboot, only my HDMI audio and microphone appear in my device manager. The only fix I've found so far is to sudo pacman -S alsa-utils, which makes my internal audio reappear but makes my microphone disappear. I then re-reinstall alsa-utils which makes the microphone reappear, giving me access to all three of my devices.

Anyone have any leads on how to permanently fix this? My system still works, but it feels really silly re-installing alsa-utils twice after every reboot.

 

Okay I'm fully aware of how ridiculous this sounds in 2023, but bare with me.

I have a wonderful neighbour, Jackie. She's in her mid-sixties, and ever since she moved in we have become very good friends, she's like a second mom to me.

Jackie loves movies and has an enormous DVD collection. One day, she was talking about how she couldn't find a particular movie, and I said "I can probably download that for you!" Her immediate reply was "Can you put it on a DVD?" I tried telling her the many reasons it would be better to use a myriad of other solutions, but she insists on DVDs.

I did them for a while using DVDStyler on Windows, and it worked fine. But then I installed EndeavourOS on a new partition on my hard drive, tried using Brasero and Devede but it wouldn't read on her DVD player. Then I tried DVDStyler on my Linux partition, and it didn't work on her DVD player, despite saying the operation was successful on my end. I then tried booting up into Windows and using DVDStyler, and that also didn't work, not even letting me burn the disc. Does anyone have any ideas what could fix this? I've tried playing around with the settings in all these apps but I couldn't figure it out.

Apologies if this isn't the best place to ask this, but I figured a community of pirates would understand my desire to get movies to Jackie without her having to pray to find them in a pawn shop!

 

I've been using Feeder on my phone, and while I quite like the app, I would love a widget for my RSS feeds on my launcher.

Are there any apps that include a widget, or standalone widgets, but that are also FOSS?

 

Une des choses que j'adore du français, c'est d'entendre l'immense diversité dans la façon dont nous parlons. Quel accent vous a le plus marqué? Perso, j'avais un prof du Cameroun à l'université et je n'ai jamais écouté autant attentivement dans un cours, son accent était similaire à celui dans ce vidéo.

Un autre préféré c'est l'accent cajun de la Louisiane, en voici un exemple qui parle aussi de la culture de la francophonie en Louisiane. Je suis francophone de l'Acadie (Nouveau-Brunswick) et c'est intéressant de voir les similarités entre nos accents malgré l'influence intense de l'anglais en Louisiane.
