We got a rice cooker that can also be a slow cooker, which is another useful strategy. Chop stuff up in the morning, chuck it all in, set it going then eat whenever you want.

Our primary motivation was weight loss ahead of our wedding, but the guiding principle should transfer: make it super easy. We’ve found that the lowest effort method will win out over all our intentions, so we’re rolling with it.
An example: chicken curry with rice. Also a disclaimer, we have a couple of appliances that make stuff slightly more convenient but I’ll put the alternative down too.
It takes around a minute to wash the rice then chuck it in the rice cooker. you can get microwave rice cooker pots or just use a pot on the stove. Once you’ve got the weights and timings dialled in this produces perfect rice just as you’re going to serve with no interaction during.
Then cook the chicken breast and set a timer for when the rice will be ready. We use an air fryer, but used to use the oven.
5 minutes before the chicken is done whip up the curry sauce.
Then it’s just serving - rice goes in the bowls, slice the chicken and put on top, then pour on the sauce.
Whole process looks like this:
- start rice cooking
- start chicken cooking, set timer for 25 minutes
- go do something else for 20 minutes
- start heating the sauce
- when chicken timer goes ding, put the rice in bowls
- slice the chicken, add to bowl
- pour on curry sauce
Total cook time is around 26 minutes. Total interaction time is around 10 minutes.
It’s also super cheap.
Edit: forgot to mention that you can cook whatever veggies you want in the same thing as the chicken and don’t need to adjust your timings
I see this same issue every now and then on lots of different places, and now it’s happened to me. I think I remember someone saying it happened after their instance got a Lemmy update?
I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.
My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.
Been doing some testing today and am hitting the same steam issue on Pop!_OS. Something to do with the new gui and it seems to be pretty widespread.
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam -vgui from prompt gets the launcher running but missing the friends network. Obviously this will change based on what package system you used to install. I think it’ll be the -vgui launch option that makes the difference
It’s not a fix but a little work around if you don’t want to reinstall:
Edit your password and just re-enter it, then tap save. Seems to achieve the same thing as reinstalling to get a new Auth token.
Agree totally with the feedback Re no information on authentication being dropped. A little splash banner or something would suffice, and then the ability to try authenticating with stored creds again
I found that editing the password and re-entering it then saving was enough. I guess it’s just having to refresh the Auth token?
I’ve used it in VMs before. Never been brave enough to take the plunge for real
Looking like PopOS might be a decent way to go - I’m using Nvidia and there is a specific image for that
Okay, clearly you’re just here to to be contrary or whatever. Maybe you don’t like that people have different opinions than you. Maybe you’re a Zuck fanboy and can’t hack being on the wrong side of the fence. Maybe you’re part of some FaceBook/Meta conspiracy to brigade.
If you’re so smart and confident that you’re correct, why don’t you show me the bit where GDPR doesn’t apply? Burden of proof on the accuser and all that.
Here is a link to a search, where the first page of results is showing that when Facebook bought WhatsApp this exact same issue popped up - what was once two distinct services suddenly started sharing data, despite user dissent. We’ve seen this before, and people are pissed off just like before.
I hope you step on some Lego in a dark room. You could use that to post to your Threads account! 🤙
My word, some good news! Hopefully the extension happens and all my country-boy dreams can come true
