I wanted to share my opinion here because I don’t know where to do it: Syndicate is very enjoyable! I’ve read all kinds of bad reviews about it, but now that I’m playing it I like it a lot. Just my humble opinion from a guy more into the original AC mechanics, not the open world approach.

This is just a rip-off. The market is veering towards good quality, more affordable boards and this guy comes up with a 800 bucks bland-ass board.

Afaik, AirBnB in the US is a huge pile of shit. In Europe most of the times the offering is good and you get more for your money that a typical Hotel. Exceptions exist of course, but on average I would say AirBnB > Hotel.

I can appreciate that approach (which I also follow): start from tradition to understand the dish, and once you’ve got the gist of it, put some personal twists in it. Makes sense for a lot of stuff.

You just stir for good measure. Yeah you might not need to if you have the perfect amount of water boiling in the perfect way, but honestly it’s not worth the risk. Just stir it from time to time.

Basic knowledge if you’re Italian, but impressive if you’re not. Kudos.

“Spadellare” the pasta when it’s almost cooked with the hot sauce in a separate pan is the easiest way to make your pasta go from “home grade” to “restaurant grade”.

You absolutely need to stir pasta while it’s cooking. And once you get it out, if you’re not going to add sauce right away or at all, you absolutely need to add some olive oil. If you don’t stir it while it’s cooking, it will get cooked unevenly. If you don’t add olive oil, it will clump up and become basically impossible to eat properly.

Oh shit, is this the recursive centaur??

I think you ask the wrong fruit

Damn right. I’ve been using Reddit for years, and after this shitshow I moved to Lemmy and honestly, it doesn’t feel that much different. I don’t make content, nor do I moderate, so I just scroll and lurk, and comment sometimes, and Lemmy has a steep, extremely short learning curve (you can call it simply a barrier to entry), but after understanding very few basic concepts, this shit feels as natural as Reddit. Besides, I’m testing the Memmy app for iOS and it’s improving exponentially. I seriously feel like Lemmy can become a good alternative, for real, not for the memes.

It’s obviously complicated. I still think this “meming the issue” approach is temporary, but I don’t know what whill make it stop. I do agree that the best way to say “fuck you spez” is to write it somewhere on Reddit and then leave, but I can sympathize with the mods who care depply for something they have spent so much time nurturing and shaping with zero economic benefits, who can’t just let go right away. If it were me, I’d also be so pissed I’d rather destroy what I created than give it intact to someone else. Kind of toxic, but it’s human behavior. Christ, I’ve been using Apollo for so long that I felt personally attacked by POS spez’s words even though I’m just another user of the app, I can’t fathom what Christian feels right now.

We’ll see in a few days/weeks what comes out of this, and how the protest will evolve. For now, I’m enjoying this giant “fuck you” people are screaming at Reddit.

That is kind of true, but you need to consider the alternative: Reddit was going to remove the mods and install some more obedient ones, so it’s basically “making the sub public” or “making the sub public but shittier”. Furthermore, in the long run this will cause people to get bored so they’ll engage less, and either stop using Reddit or look for an alternative sub, which fragments subs even more and males Reddit shittier in general.

I’m in! I’m more of a lurker, but I’ve studied ML and I use it in my work, and in general it’s a very interesting subject!

Is there an iOS app?
