Agar is only going to work if you heat it. Xanthan gum might be the best alternative here that requires no heating. It'll certainly make it more viscous, but might result in a less than appealing texture. I'd experiment with maybe heating a xanthan gum and agar mix, then removing from heat and stirring in the yogurt. I dunno, requires playing around depending on desired results.

Things that contain six pairs also contain two pairs. :P

You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I'd recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.

In addition, theatres advertise a starting time of X:00, but the movie can sometimes start as late as X:30 after 30 fucking minutes of ads and trailers. That was my previous and last experience in a theatre.

I've given thought to this one as a vegan in the game industry. It's strange. I'm happy to play games like Cyberpunk and murder just about everyone in my way. But when it comes to cozy games, there's something discordant about the "build a happy little farm" vibe and "kill all the fish you want". It just doesn't match the fantasy cottagecore games are selling for me. :shrug:

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I'm surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.

Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.

Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.

I have a Switch but have bought maybe 3 games for it tops. Where Steam has user reviews, a super simple refund policy, and frequent deep discounts, Nintendo's purchasing experience is clearly lacking in a customer-friendly approach.

Anyone asking for recommendations for their next gaming device, it's Steam Deck every time.

I'm new to Summit, but not new to Lemmy. In other clients, I've subscribed to several clusters of communities. I'd love to be able to group them into multi-communities in Summit.

Desired behaviour: That the "Create Multi Community" page show you communities you've subscribed to that aren't yet in any multi community.

Desired behaviour: That searching for communities in the "Create Multi Community page" indicate which of the search results you're already subscribed to.

Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn't even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

I'd recommend considering how the recently expired https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. would have applied to streaming services.

When picking avacados to buy, aim for the ones that are longer than they are round. If it's as round as an orange, you're going to get this kind of all-pit bullshit.
