The lovely consequences of companies taking all your personal data when they don't need it: oops because I had to use their garbage app to pre purchase a movie ticket, now my personal details have been stolen! Remind me again why you needed my ID number for such a transaction?

I just want to build useful things. I hate that capitalism sticks its wormy little tongue in - "hold on, have you determined the amount of this absurd single scalar we use to represent all value that people should give you to use this tool? How many gallons of milk is your time worth??" I DON'T CARE

open source and open data as an ethos is largely anti capital and anti authority and is inherently political in ways we need more of

My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.

Stop trying to make things healthier. There is no such thing as healthy cake. You can at best turn a 500 calorie slice of delicious cake into a 450 calorie slice of hot garbage like below. Want to eat healthy? Vegetables are RIGHT THERE. When it's cake time, it's CAKE TIME. NORMAL CAKE.

I get that not everyone understands that baking is a precise science but surely, surely there is no way you genuinely thought you could replace the sugar in your cake with "calorie free cofee sweetener tablets" and blame it on the recipe being bad

r/BakingNoobs u/burnt_bread_54 • 23h • reddit Tried making a cake... I tried making a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, and this was supposed to be the base for it. It was even supposed to be a bit on the healthier side, so I substituted the sugar for a 1200 pill pack of those calorie free cofee sweetener tablets. It was in the oven for maybe 7 minutes at the reccomended temperature and turned out like this. Did this happen because 1 misread 2 tea spoons of baking soda for 2 table spoons or was I just unlucky and used a bad recepie?
