Isn’t Teams just Microsoft’s attempt to reinvent Skype for Business as a Slack clone? I didn’t think they’d acquired it (other than acquiring Skype and fucking that up, too).

Mmmm, bronchiolitis obliterans. Being serious, the common name for the disease is "popcorn lung" because it was first identified in a microwave popcorn plant and it's caused by inhaling certain chemicals often used in flavored popcorn.

Right. Yes. Diacetyl and its ilk are not something you want to breathe in, well aware. I used to vape, years ago, and mixed my own liquid. Popcorn lung was always a big topic in the DIY scene.

The workers who developed popcorn lung were working around vats of the shit, breathing in large quantities on the daily. But still, the risk was enough to never trust any buttery flavors for vaping.

Occasionally cooking butter-flavored or butter-laden popcorn is not a problem though.

“Dosis sola facit venenum,” as they say. The dose makes the poison.

Get you a Whirley-Pop. You can put the butter in with the kernels go.

You can also get packs that include oil, kernels, salt, and butter powder that come out like theater popcorn and taste great (included some in the link above). I add some cheddar powder to that for cheesy popcorn when we have people over to watch movies and it’s a huge hit.

Edit: important note, add the cheddar powder AFTER popping, because it will burn if you put it in before popping and it will smell awful. Don’t make my mistake!

I don’t believe Voyager has it yet but it’s coming soon, IIRC.

Careful, Lemmy seems to think you won’t be able to use the power button on that new Mac Mini.

They can? My PS5 has been on the included vertical stand the entire time I’ve owned it, what risk am I ignoring?

I remember with the Xbox 360 the only issue was if you switched from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while the disc was being read.

I don't know if there is a version of Poe's law for Apple fanboys, but your comment makes me think there should be.

Roflmao

I don’t own a Mac Mini, and never will. I’m not trying to defend Apple.

But I’ll use my work laptop as an example. I have external monitors, so I never open the damn thing except on the rare occasions I need to use the power button. This happens infrequently enough that it gives me a pretty good notion of how often people need the actual power button on a modern computer.

If the button can be reached without turning over the device or even picking it up, as it sure appears, what’s the problem? Other than that it’s an Apple device and people love to hate on Apple devices.

How often do you need to actually turn it on? Won’t it sleep? Pretty much should only need to turn it on after moving the thing. You can restart from with in the OS if you need to.

Twitter did it before Reddit, IIRC. It was part of the conversation around API fees for Reddit.

You can probably run it off the CPU instead. There is a setting for that in automatic1111 configuration. It’ll be slow though.

In name, sure. But not really. It was Amazon trying to sell an Android tablet on the Kindle brand. It could read Kindle books using the same Kindle app as any Android device, but it was far more than an eReader and didn’t feature the eInk screen that makes eReaders worth reading on.
