Hario or their US distributor have a storefront, thanks to which I just found out that they sell cute slash disturbing bird-shaped filters??!? wtf

And yes, lots of independent roasters carry filters. Rogue Wave in Canada has a really good filter selection including Cafec ones.

I feel like finding a good instance in the fediverse (that's accepting users) is always a nightmare.

That being said, I've been happy with the vibes on lemmy.blahaj.zone and they have a calckey/firefish instance (that's the main blahaj.zone). But it's not strictly general-purpose.

Yep, adding water is a perfectly good solution! You can do it a little at a time until it tastes right and then make a note of however much water that was.

Bypass brewing seems underutilized in pourover -- although it's pretty common in aeropress recipes. Crown coffee has an interesting post about it from a while ago.

Bypass will reduce your extraction and hence efficiency, but that only matters in a commercial setting IMO. That being said, if you want to achieve the same thing without bypass at the end, probably what you'd end up doing is using a longer ratio (more water) and then possibly needing to tweak another variable such as grinding a bit coarser to re-balance the flavor.

I feel like I'm not not missing that much blobhaj, headphones at least as far as the sound is concerned.

But it is true that you don't get like the physical feeling of it (unless you have one of those weird vests, I guess).

Someone checked and there's already an existing trademark for Firefish in software specifically, at least in Europe. Apparently they make HR solutions of some sort.

Who browses the local timeline on a large fediverse instance lol.

Anyway, reality is bad and we're living in it, so I have relatively little patience for people who complain about doomposting. There's a lot of doom out there.

If folks want to only see good news, start an "only good news" community (assuming this doesn't already exist) and just stick to your subscribed communities view.

Firefox, but make it wet

(I don't know if it's a worse than "calckey" tbf)

We need the Lemmy equivalent of fediblock so we can post this for everyone to defederate

It's not a subscription, but I've bought a couple of the Fellow drops and enjoyed them. Lots of independent roasters that I like also offer subscriptions (in fact, I think almost all of them do) but I tend order from lots of different places.

It's going to be incredibly necessary in the long run. Decentralized means some proportion of important communities are going to be on servers that will eventually be shut down for various reasons. Not everybody who's running an instance now will run it forever, but there may be communities with important conversations that folks will want to preserve.

Mastodon has account migration and Lemmy community migration should work similarly.

 

Any communities or instances focused on non-white folks or information/news/organizing against racism and colonialism specifically?

There's a wealth of general lefty communities it seems like but at a glance many of them seem to be preettttyyy white

 

PDF link to referenced grand jury report. Via

The analysis by the Grand Jury of the email cache of messages to and from staff in the District Attorney’s Office reveals that more than 25 staff members used County owned computers and the County owned and operated email system to solicit funds for a District Attorney candidate, sometimes in coordination with police officer unions in other cities and counties, to request attendance at campaign events, and to discuss campaign strategy during the 2018 campaign for District Attorney.

tl;dr basically O'Malley had staff campaigning on the taxpayers' dime. Also apparently folks were specifically worried that they would lose their jobs if a progressive DA was elected:

The 2018 District Attorney election was the first, in recent memory, in which a sitting District Attorney was challenged. The Grand Jury learned that many staff of the Office of the District Attorney had very strong concerns about the outcome of the election.

The fear that the election of a new District Attorney, who had hinted at staff layoffs or terminations, was so overwhelming that staff failed to recognize their disregard of policies regarding campaign-related behavior as potentially illegal

Interesting since DA elections have become such a flashpoint in local politics in/around the Bay Area as center-right folks throw money at recalls etc.

 

Another myth the study attempts to dispel is that most homeless people flock to California cities because of warm weather, liberal policies and generous services. In reality, 90% of the people surveyed said they were last housed in California, and 75% live in the same county as where they lost their housing.

That’s important to remember, Wolch said, because it’s easy to disregard unhoused people who we think “aren’t from here” and haven’t paid taxes here.

“People who are homeless are your neighbors,” she said. “People who are homeless live in the same city that you do and they possibly have lived there longer than you have.”

To solve the homelessness crisis, the main problem California needs to address is the lack of housing that’s affordable for extremely low-income residents, according to the researchers. The state has just 24 affordable and available homes for every 100 extremely low-income households, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
