Did you read the comments? The dev himself addressed the concerns, to the point where the OP updated his post (emphasis is mine)

Edit to say this blew up. I didn't realise I was kicking as big a hornet's nest and haven't read all the comments yet.

To be clear, what I don't like about this and other provisions in the terms is the language and implications around data use. I've no problem with ads being shown - I want developers to get paid for the work they do and that makes it possible for users to have "free" access to software if they can't afford to purchase.

I also want to add the response from Boost's dev below to make sure it's visible. You'll see that it is boilerplate but required by Google and was present in Boost for reddit. I just hadn't seen it because I purchased it immediately based on a recommendation. It doesn't make me happy about it but does remove some doubts I was having about the direction Boost is heading.

Maybe it's natural selection 🤔 everyone who could do it was just like 👍 yep I'm good 👍 and never had any kids.

Does this point to an inherent problem with the federated approach; i.e. that every instance has to be able to handle the load of the content on all other instances it federates with?

Pardon if I'm misunderstanding something. But it seems like a big barrier to entry for new instances if e.g. an instance with 100 users has to sync the contents from 100,000 other users to work properly. As the fediverse keeps growing and the requirements to host instances keep increasing, won't it end up where only a few instances have the money / resources to handle the load?

US, specifically under "Social" apps.

Will I use it? Absolutely not.

Do I hope that it gets used by others? Yeah, at least a bit. Because if Meta assigns more engineers to work on fedi tech like improving ActivityPub that would be a huge win for the fediverse in general. That assumes they actually contribute to open source, but Meta/FB actually has a reasonable track record there.

But only one word for all long stick-like things... Go figure

Boost was my favorite app for Reddit, super excited to see this! Thanks for sharing!

If your weight increased to 20x your current weight, without changing proportions, you would be about 2.7x your current height, width, and depth.

...just like OP's mum.

Encrypting your IP address would be like encrypting your mailing address. Like, ok buddy, but you're not going to be able to use that to receive any mail so not sure what your goal is -- you're still going to have to use your plain address if you want to receive anything.

Just like the hanging magnet is pulling on the car, the car magnet is also pulling on the hanging apparatus. Unfortunately for the car, the apparatus is attached to it, so it all cancels out.

You got me curious, so I did some research -- this paper is pretty informative. The most likely explanation seems to be that it is a "snag" that was lifted out of the water, to prevent other boats from running into it.

I think you misplaced the apostrophe. If you think it's just going to be one American I have some news for you.

Emoji kitchen is great, I'm glad this makes it more accessible on desktop etc. It's fun to browse all the possibilities using emojikitchen.dev. There are some really funny ones and it seems they're always adding more.

One of my favorites is 🤠+🤠:

Though 🤔+😣 is particularly... questionable:

Bambino Plus gang 💪

The Go looks like a good machine. A dual boiler was important to me because I make a lot of milk drinks so being able to steam milk while the temperature stabilizes for the next shot is really nice. Other than that my requirements were temperature control and a relatively small footprint (though I have to say, upgrading from the Bambino Plus to the Elizabeth was still quite a shock as far as the size difference)

Thanks! Definitely one of my better pours haha. Getting a machine with powerful steam (Lelit Elizabeth) helped a lot. Though the angle of the photo here hides the fact that it's actually pretty lopsided 😉

Hehe yes I made it 😁 you can see the corner of the Niche in the background. I had already decided to take a photo with my DSLR and happened to get a really good pour too. Thanks for the compliment -- it helps me validate my expensive hobbies 😂

Are you using the Stilosa stock, or do you have a bottomless portafilter etc.? How long have you had it?

For me, I wouldn't have wanted to upgrade to the Elizabeth directly. After the Stilosa I moved to a Breville Bambino Plus. That solved my biggest issues with the Stilosa (lack of temperature stability and a crappy steam wand), and let me get a bottomless pf and unpressurized basket and learn how to get really good puck prep and dial in by taste. Plus the steam wand was good enough to really learn latte art.

My main reasons for the upgrade to the Elizabeth are to have more fine-grained control over temperature, pressure, etc. for better shot consistency and control when dialing in, plus an even better steam wand. But back when I had the Stilosa, personally I wouldn't have known what to do with that level of control. Obviously your experience may differ, but I wouldn't change my choice of the BBP as the second step on my espresso journey.

Gotcha -- yeah I can confirm the thermocoil (at least in the BBP) isn't very stable. If you don't care about simultaneous steaming & brewing, to get good stability you could go for a single boiler machine with PID like the Profitec Go, Lelit Victoria, or Ascaso Steel Uno. Note the PID is important -- it's basically a smart controller to avoid the boiler overshooting the target temperature, so you get much better consistency.

Have you tried a double out of a ceramic cup?

Even aside from the thermal properties, the cup material itself can have an impact on how the flavors come through.

In addition to measuring your output / a longer extraction, you can try a longer pre-infusion, or bumping up the temperature. 190F is on the very low end of what is usually considered ideal -- you could try aiming for 195 - 205. Also, if the portafilter is not fully heated that will offset the brew temperature and cause lower extraction.
