When I went vegetarian years ago I hated it for the first few weeks.. Because I was trying veggie/vegan versions of all the dishes I knew how to make. When I started exploring actual just veggie/vegan recipes that weren't trying to be a fake meat version did it feel incredibly easy.

It's exactly as you said, the fake version is never as good and you'll most of the time be comparing it to the real thing.. But meals that just happen to be vegetarian/vegan? They can be amazing on their own! I've never looked back since I started exploring new recipes instead of alternative versions of old.

I'm planning to self host - but just have one question, mostly a confirmation, as long as you're not hosting communities, you can comment and interact with others, without needing other instances to explicitly sync with your insurance, right?

I kind of want my own instance just to control what communities I sync for my own account, but not going to host any myself, so defederation of some instances doesn't affect me (unless I myself want to block them)

Been playing Diablo 4! Got to lvl 50 on my pc, but decided to try playing on the Steam Deck to play a little in bed and it surprised me how well it works.

I've been running matrix for over a year with bridges to WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Instagram and Telegram without any big issues

I've been using Hario V60 for years at this point, always works well for me. Tend to either use the 2 or 3 sized one, depending on how much coffee I need.. Which is mostly driven by number of meetings.

This year as its getting warmer, I've started using the Hario Mizudashi for over night cold brew though and absolutely loving it!

I've been obsessed with it in the last two weeks, I've played it every day since 1.0 released.. Just checked and I have 27.8 hours played on steam. I absolutely love it! Just reached final boss, but feel like I have few more hours of content to do
