Right, thanks for clarifying 🙂 I agree, don’t use extra virgin for frying. Still, I don’t think it gives off bitter flavours whatever you do unless you treat it really bad.

In Denmark, we traditionally cook using butter, but I like to use whatever fits the dish I am doing.

If the whole Mediterranean region cooks with oil that way they’re not “off flavours”, are they? Then they’re just the flavours of the regional cuisine.

If you let olive oil get hot enough to hit the smoke point for a sofritto you’re doing it wrong…

Pathetic. Get in the game, women.

As the admin, thanks for using it and spreading the word 🙂 if anyone feels like setting up a local instance let me know, I will point a subdomain (like aarhus.brugt-bazar.dk) your way and federate 😁

My dad was occasionally beaten by his mom and dad in the 1950s and 60s, but his generation decided it was over with, and it also became illegal in the 90s. We’re in Denmark.

Cultural change can and will happen, you’ll be the agent of that when you’re older 😘 I believe in you!

I mean, I am not perfect, I also sometimes yell at my kids, but I also say sorry a lot, so… We’re only human.

I swear, Americans are obsessed with the idea that kids need a beating once in a while. That would get you arrested where I am from.

Right, yes that was common, being named after the farm. Interesting family story 🙂

Though, being Danish, I have a national duty to say that Denmark didn’t conquer Norway, it was inherited by a king around 1400 and then developed into a full union in 15-something when the Swedes left the Kalmar Union. It was a dual monarchy, effectively one country, ruled from Copenhagen and standard Danish was no more forced on the Norwegians than it was forced on other Danes speaking a dialect of Danish.

The union was dissolved in 1814 when Napoleon (who was allied to Denmark), lost his wars and Norway was given to Sweden. After 100 years under Swedish rule, Norway was finally independent.

It’s been something of a national need in Norway to emphasize all the bad things under the dual monarchy, but in truth Norwegians and Danes were completely equal. Look up any major historical or cultural figure from the era and there’s a good chance he came from what is now Norway, most of the navy was Norwegian and so on. I understand the need to find someone to other so that the national identity grows stronger, but it’s a pity it’s become a narrative of Danish exploitation when that’s completely false.

I say equal, that goes for the political class and nobility, the peasants in both countries were of course almost completely powerless 😉

I can’t think of what Norwegian name it’s supposed to be a Danish pronunciation of, tbh. Severin?

Made me curious now, shame you’d have to dox yourself to tell me 😔

Well, yes, most people want computers to be unnoticable and boring. I agree, we need more boring tech that just does a job and doesn’t bother us. That said, plenty of people find self-hosting to be fun - your SO and mine excepted, of course.

I’m anti-kid because I didn’t consent to the sentience that I have experienced and I have the empathy to want others not to suffer.

Maybe you should find the empathy to see that your experience is not everyone’s experience, then?

Having kids can be extremely fulfilling, doesn’t increase human suffering at all. Having kids subjectively improved my life and the lives of many people adjacent to me, e.g. the lives of my family members and friends and my kids’ friends.

I don’t understand how the Internet is so anti kids, it’s pretty baffling.

About the same level… Put a subject people can search for.

I use a dell dock from work and various controllers and have had no problems at all, in fact we use it almost exclusively as a console.

Argued for years that Diaphragma would be an excellent name. Or Columna.

I love the app, but the summary was kind of shit 😁

I don’t really think mastodon needs those 5% to produce content to entertain and advertise a userbase of 95% lurkers. For me it’s definitely a bonus that they’re not there - I don’t need influencer-shit in my feed.

If that kind of content creator and passive user goes to Bluesky that’s fine. If they went to mastodon we’d just see calls for an algorithm, which would be directly against what I want in the platform.

Problem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you’ll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn’t have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

People turn fascist when they’re desperate and angry, same as always. So when people experience economic hardship they look for somone to blame, often immigrants. So we call them racists, and I guess that’s true, but it comes from something else; economic inequality.

In Europe we do the same thing, in the French elections the rural population voted overwhelmingly for the fascists - here in brown.

In the German elections, the poorer former East-German provinces also supported the fascist AfD, here shown in the darker colours.

Even in Denmark, where I live, the more right-wing and extremist parties are popular in the southern, western, and northern parst of the country - the poorer rural areas, who’s seen their jobs disappear, their shops close, and their income stall even as the country as a whole gets richer.

So the challenge of liberal democracy is clear; show the population outside the cities that they, too, can get their piece of the pie. If we cannot solve that, then we’ll see more countries turn fascist in the next decade.
