Dammit pasta, just stop!

No, please don't stir for gods sake. Don't add oils or anything either. What you need is just a big enough pot with water and salt, add the pasta when it's boiling and get it out once it's done. Simple as that.

Pro tip: let it just a little bit undercooked and finish it in a pan with the sauce on it.

I'm not even italian.

Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

I don't know man. My dad, my teacher and the fireman have no public presence so they won't be the face of any media workers' strike. And at least one of the above is also an anti-vaxx and/or an asshole. This lady is just doing her role and I don't think it makes much sense to undermine her work on this subject because her poor takes on others.

Ok, I may stir a bit when I put it in, specially with long pasta varieties, but if you have enough space and hard boiling water that's all. You don't need to be on it like it was a witch's cauldron. Once it's done, it's better to add the pasta on a pan with the hot sauce and not the other way around, and then yes, stir it gently to integrate it. You can add some of the cooking water to the pan to thin the sauce if needed. If you aren't mixing with the sauce right away it won't be great anyways, just edible.

Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.

Market is oversaturated with offering. There's an ongoing overproduction crisis. Competition on price leads to diminishing margins, which leads to unsustainable small business, which leads to capital concentration and oligopoly. This tendency is the same across all sectors in late state capitalism. Many people won't be able to make a living from their work anymore.

That said I heard some small developers choose to work only on iOS because there are more clients willing to pay for apps in that ecosystem. Google focus on ad-based revenue created a sort of "everything for free" culture on android wich makes very difficult to sell quality apps there, at the same time their store is filled with low quality ad filled apps and microtransaction "games".

(I'm an android user, never had any apple device and I don't plan to, but I think their business model is somehow healthier.)

Un estudio explica por qué la gente cree en teorías de la conspiración

Muy interesante el tema del antagonismo, colocarse en una posición de superioridad moral e intelectual frente a los demás (que están engañados) buscando explicaciones simples y claras a fenómenos compejos y amenazantes. Es un poco como las religiones. Es que la realidad es dificil de afrontar: ni somos tan listos, ni estamos tan libres de pecado, ni tenemos ni puta idea de casi nada ni ganas de comprenderlo de verdad, porque es demasiado complicado.

...o eso es lo que ELLOS quieren que creas 🤔🤣

Al CEO de Reddit no le importa el boicot de sus usuarios

A la mayoría de los usuarios tampoco parece que les importen los cambios. Los principales subs españoles no han hecho ni un día de boicot simbólico y tampoco he visto posts hablando de lemmy u otras alternativas. Otros subs que sí boicotean parece que pueden pasar a estar moderados por gente afín a la empresa. Parece que reddit aguantará.

Al final es una red social o foro estás por los contactos que vas haciendo y las comunidades donde participas y tragas con todo, por eso redes como facebook o twitter sigue existiendo pese a ser una basura. La mayoría de la gente va a pasar de intentar meterse en una alternativa si tienen que leer 5 minutos para entenderla. Yo soy usuario de rif, cuando la cierren pasaré a un uso de reddit web esporádico para busquedas de información, pero no me apetece nada logearme desde la web o la app oficial. Pero yo tampoco es que tenga un arraigo irrenunciable en ningún sub y además tengo algo más de curiosidad y paciencia como usuario de internet que la media, así que no soy un caso muy representativo.
