@dana @[email protected] Sorry, it did not boost your reply to me.

I agree - Summer Kitchens is excellent. I really want to try to write a review some time. It was quite a revelation to me, Ukrainian cuisine - like, it really should be considered one of the top world cuisines. And the fact that not only is it not - but that almost nobody would even think there is such a thing in the first place - probably says quite a lot about the colonial silencing of the Ukrainian culture.

@dana @[email protected] I read elsewhere (like this article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/28/chef-ievgen-klopotenko-putting-ukrainian-cuisine-back-on-the-map) how even Ukrainians tended to lose memory of their own culinary heritage during Soviet times, and there’s a big movement by people like Ievgen Klopotenko (https://klopotenko.com/en) to reintroduce stuff that was lost back into their culture (he also has a book coming out in English later this year which I’m really looking forward to!).

Lemmy link posts not showing in Calckey

Reply in thread

@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Sorry, I meant when I reply using my Lemmy account. In theory you don't need one to reply - like we just did now from Mastodon. But if you want to make longer replies or for other reasons you might use one. The group should boost any replies, and you can then boost those in Mastodon to spread if you want. I think this whole thing is kind of a work in progress though - in general we're not used to working with software with so many quirks, but we'll get there 😊

Lemmy link posts not showing in Calckey

@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Somewhat annoyingly, pictures attached when you reply in Mastodon do not show up here in Lemmy either. And I'm unable to upload any pictures in Lemmy - get a json error.

But I see your pictures in Mastodon when this group boosted it (strange), and confirm same for me - my review post and Dana's podcast post both appeared in my feed boosted by the group. Don't know about Calckey, instance having major slowdowns so not checking much in the evenings.

Has Steam Deck done good for the rest of the linux community?

Reply in thread

@poVoq @altair222 I think the incentivisation to improve Proton is a big part of it. To be honest, I never really had any issues playing anything in Linux in the year before the Deck, so in practice probably not noticed any difference.

But I feel it's hard to quantify isn't it? Like, would Diablo 4 beta have worked without issue had the ecosystem not already been built up to encourage people to tinker and get it working?

These kinds of intangible benefits are still positive factors I think...
