Says new keyboard layouts in wayland. It's likely still experimental.

Zork is going to be great. Decent should run ok.

I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you're going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You're friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

Yep. Yogurt prices are crazy. Kids need to start working the mines to eat soon.

I prefer Lady Grey myself.

Sorry to hear. I think there are some firmware downgrades around to flash to some of the pc drives to get ripping working, unless this is specific to this particular movie.

You might have a bad disk, do an exchange. I have had many bad uhd disks from new boxes over the years. I wish optical storage wasnt used for this kind of thing.

I wonder how much is just due to the default phone launcher and keyboard.

I haven't used arch (yet) to form an opinion. I do however run bohi on a laptop. It's been rock solid, but I offten scratch my head when I'm using it and end up questioning my life choices.

Check out the YT videos from Explaining Conputers for some more comparisons of distros for starting out.

I have been drinking this recipe most of this week. Just wanted to share.

Aeropress
Water temp 175 F
Beans 2.3g ~ 2.8g
Water 35ml
Milk 4oz ~ 6oz
With the aeropress inverted (around the 1 mark)
Add coffee and water. 
Stir after a few seconds. 
Install filter and press into cup all the way down. 
Add Milk. 
Enjoy

I'm using unsweetened Almond Milk currently. My beans are a Columbian lite roast that I home roast.

I came up with this as a way to enjoy some coffee at night actually, but have been enjoying it in the morning.

 

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

 

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

 

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Single Origin Kenya

Parent's Bitter Coffee (startrek.website)

At visiting my parent's this holiday weekend I tired to gently tell my parents that their coffee brew is very bitter. The response I get back is something like, " I like it strong."

I wasn't too sure how to respond, but then they told me my coffee is to watery. 🤔 I told them it's not that is watery, but it's a light roast and not bitter tasting.

So my question is how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee? I might bring my scale next time to help measure and perfect the coffee brew there. Maybe even see about cleaning their been grinder, which I think has never been cleaned.

Oh well.

Update: Thanks for all the tips and thoughts. I agree with basically everything posted here and sorry no butter (I fixed the title)

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
