There’s no citation of the files, though. Did anyone find a confirmation? For all known previously, Epstein attempted to make ties with Russian government officials, including Putin, but it wasn’t known that Epstein actually was working for Putin.
I feel like this debate over whether it’s fascism or not misses a big point:
It’s an oppressive nationalist state with practically unchecked presidential power. It is responsible for numerous war crimes. It instates hardline policies targeting everyday Americans. It puts people in detention camps. It is fueled by exceptionalism on all levels, from foreign policy to religion. And at the same time, it doesn’t provide for its people, cutting all forms of social support.
It also erodes democratic institutions in an attempt to cement itself, so that other powers couldn’t change course.
You can call it fascism. You can call it authoritarianism. What matters is that America is turned into an angry shithole hostile to both others and it’s own people. Isn’t that a reason good enough to stand strongly against it? Why do people wait for a “fascist” label, like it’s some sort of red cloth, and would it change much if tomorrow Trump would plead allegiance to Hitler?
Crusts like this generally require a lot of steam in the oven
Fair enough!
And shaping/forming a loaf that stays tall when being baked on a flat surface takes skill, lots of practice and experience.
Or a fairly inexpensive machine that will do it for you. Of course though, there’s a special pleasure in making a truly artisan bread with your own hands. But hey, it’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing. Best to see it in action.
But then again, I speak from the side of low-scale industrial baking. For a home baker, all this machinery will be an overkill.
Ready to be killed, I guess
When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.
Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.
Lol, yes, it can be done, but it needs to be packed or cut from one side only, otherwise it will likely fall apart.
(Also it’s an ungodly abomination and there are certainly better options to do this with)
Baking in a rectangular shape allows you to make a space efficient bread that you can easily stack and transport. Also, it is very predictable, can fit neatly into your toaster, and can be cut in triangles.
Making bread on a flat surface allows you to minimize costs of entry (not only don’t you need the forms which are relatively cheap, you can go with simpler/cheaper ovens), and this kind of bread has a more pronounced crust, which many people like.
Also, rectangular bread is harder to leaven for a long period of time as it comes with numerous technological complications down the production line. This affects the aroma composition, making rectangular bread less attractive for those who want the traditional “bread” taste.
Baguette, as I already mentioned, has a unique crust and crumb texture defined by the shape and baking conditions. Many people like it that way.
ELI5: dough can take any shape you give it.
You can load the dough into a metallic shape and close it with a lid, and you’ll get picture 1.
Or you can make a ball out of it and leave it be on a flat surface, and it will naturally expand to look like picture 2.
Side question: narrow shape makes baguette have a more crispy texture, which many people like. It’s also usually produced using a special kind of sourdough, which makes it have unique and rich taste. People eat it as is (just biting it from one end to another) or make small open sandwiches by cutting it in slices and putting all sorts of toppings on top of them.
Beautiful answer!
A small point from someone working alongside bread industry - small bubbles in toast/sandwich bread are not due to the type of yeast used, but due to intentionally low time for second stage mixing and, as you mentioned, low time for resting and leavening. You can absolutely create huge bubbles using the very same yeast, though, if that’s your goal.
Beautiful

I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, it relies on strong spinal muscles allowing one to carry heavier weight, keeps one’s hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against one’s neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off someone.
The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).
Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.
It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.
No worries, answer anytime :)
Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.
Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.
Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.
I feel this way about religion.
It is literally being bullied by a supernatural creature that doesn’t even exist. Do X, do not do Y, else the entire wrath of the Almighty will be upon you.
And at the same time the Almighty can do absolutely anything they want - mass murder people, sleep with anyone, get everyone drunk, tell father to kill the son - because what, are you gonna defy or question someone who else destroys you and tarnishes your soul for the rest of eternity?
The good is replaced with compliance, because an authoritative voice says what’s good and you better obey. 1984 type shit, invented millenia before.
Honestly, yes.
Linux lacks a native Task manager, and this is one of the “death by a thousand cuts” roadblocks that prevent its adoption.
A user must be able to launch a graphical tool to manage processes even if everything else froze. That’s just basic usability.
Can it be currently resolved with a terminal? Yes. Should it be resolved with a terminal? No.
I once accidentally unmounted the system drive. You know what? Aside from some crash messages and a lost battery indicator, the system just kept going.
I finished my Zoom call just fine, finished what I needed to do real quick and then rebooted.
It all went back and was just fine.
Huh? Sensational claims on a hot topic are always better fact-checked, regardless of what they support.
If you’re ready to spread whatever you hear as long as it supports your views, here you are: Trump eats an infant every morning to deal with impotency. Go ahead, make a headline.
Or, a tankie version: Xi Jinping personally installed 150GW of solar power yesterday as he ruled closing of coal plants across the country.
