what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back
This was the final bloodletting of my trust. There is no going back. That's why I deleted all of my content and my account

Check your profile settings. There's a nsfw setting in there that might be blocking you

Is there a way to see how many total users Lemmy has?
Reply in thread
Let's count our blessings that 55 million people haven't tried to join this platform at once.
It would have a lot of severely negative effects:
Given the nature of this platform, you can generally expect slightly more technical people on average or at least people who are not afraid of trying new technologies. The average person will not want to deal with learning how instances work or how federation works. Hell, I was chatting with a good friend who is a senior programmer and he doesn't want to deal with these things.

I put Jerboa where RIF used to be
It's not quite the same, and needs some refinement, but it'll do

I don't know if you've ever tried the official app, but that strategy wouldn't even help most likely. Every 3-5 posts that you see from your subscribed subs, they throw in a "recommended for you" nonsense post to try and drive your engagement. It's infuriating

Now that federation is starting to work, the experience is a bit funny. Already had experiences with lemmy and beehaw threads just being purged lol

Is there a mobile app for Lemmy/Beehaw?
Reply in thread
It could definitely be smoothed out a fair bit.
I'm not yet familiar enough with Lemmy interactions to understand the ways that it's lacking, but I see a lot of simple UI improvements that would make a world of difference.
It's a start!

Let's Keep Beehaw Going
I've done my part
If my interest in this platform continues, I'll be making it a monthly thing.
I think the admins here are doing great, and they deserve the support from me given how much I'm using it lately

Trouble with Jerboa login?
OK, I was able to get around this issue.
My hypothesis is that Jerboa caches something related to beehaw.org's login. To get around this, go to the login, select beehaw.org, type a space after beehaw.org, delete it, and try to log in again. It might be a coincidence, but this got around the issue for me.

Tofu Korma
Reply in thread
This one is modified from the Murgh Ka Korma recipe in The Indian Cooking Course by Monisha Bharadwaj
I strongly recommend it for Indian recipes.
Ingredients:
Begin by frying the tofu. I recommend a good non stick pan to reduce how much oil you add. Really get a good texture on most of the faces of the cubes.
Put the onion, Chile, and cashews in a pan with some water. Not too much, don't be afraid to add a dash as it cooks as needed. You can add more, but you can't take it out. Cook for 10 minutes until the onion very soft, then move it to a food processor with enough water for the food processor to work it all into a smooth textured paste/liquid. Set aside for later steps.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on high heat. Add garlic ginger paste, followed by tofu. Stir to integrate.
Stir in salt and the ground spices. Mix to integrate. Add the cashew onion paste, and use a bit of water to get everything out of the food processor. Cook for about 10 minutes. The primary goal here is to thaw and adequately heat the frozen vegetables.
Stir in cream, adjust seasoning to taste (primarily salt most likely) and optionally add a sprinkle of garam masala. Serve with rice, roti, or paratha
I hope you enjoy it!

What are some good coffee roasters in your area?
I really enjoy Black and White coffee roasters of of Wake Forest, NC. They experiment with a huge variety of things. I choose from their single origin options every time I'm low. From clean to funky, I really enjoy getting a new experience with each new bag.

Those shows literally drove me to a career in software development.
I'll never forget Leo telling a young kid about my age about a new programming language called Python. I like to think he shaped a fair number of future careers with that one call

A little bit yes, a little bit no
Tab delimited csv are sometimes called tsv, but just as often you'll see csv (tab delimited) as a file type option
See the wiki section on standardization for details.
Csv currently includes the following delimiters:
Comma, space, tab, pipe, or semicolon

I like my chemex, but the coffee it produces is very different from my aeropress.
Not saying you shouldn't go that route, just be aware

Tofu Korma
Reply in thread
Thanks! I've tried doing this once before, but this is easily the best I've tried yet.
The biggest difference has been giving the tofu a hard fry before adding it. With chicken, that's not a necessary step, but tofu falls apart without it
