I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

I believe that Firefox has a mechanism where millions of users all have the same fingerprint, which makes the whole concept of browser fingerprinting useless.

First vaguely successful attempt at latte art! (lemmy.world)

I have the Delonghi Dedica EC680M, recently swapped the stock steam wand for the Rancilio wand. I have pretty much 0 experience steaming milk, and this is the first time I’ve been able to have milk lay on top without being a formless blob! Just super excited and wanted to share lol

I steam milk for latte's quite a bit. Tip carafe so wand tip is at the side just under the surface of the milk, with the stem against the spout. Engage steam just enough to you hear a tearing sound. Gradually lower the carafe to maintain the tearing sound for 17 seconds,(the sound changes) then immerse the tip until the carafe is getting too hot to touch. Then a tap on the counter, and a couple swirls to break up bigger bubbles.

Massive surveillance programs won't stop crime. Instead it will be used to persecute target demographic groups.

Acts of authoritarian control always claim to be done "for the children". They don't care about children, they want control.

I saw today that they have found that over 80% of the microplastics in the ocean are from automobile tires.

Pure P2P doesn't scale well, especially for content which is generated by a few, and watched by many.
