I'm interested in the earbuds. I typically play with earbuds or headphones, so it might be nice to have a dedicated gaming pair.

I tried the Hoffman method today and it's quite good (provided you pour the iced coffee over additional ice before drinking). I didn't quite get a sweet fruit tea-like cup (like I usually do with a hot pourover light roast), but I certainly got more of the origin characteristics I was looking for.

Thanks for the tip! I tried this and ended up with an uneven extraction and slightly bitter cup—although that may be more due to the ratio than the brewing method. I typically brew pour overs at 1:17, but the recipe I found online was 1:4:7 ratio (48g coffee to 212g ice and 340g water). Since coffee extraction is non-linear, I don't understand how brewing with half the hot water yields the same extraction (based on the dynamics of coffee extraction). What brewing ratio worked produces a more balanced cup for you?

EDIT: I should add I ground medium-sized (3 on a Fellow Ode Gen 1) and used 99° C water.

I agree. Also, there is a ton of really great programming and AI/ML content on Twitter. I hope much of it migrates to Mastodon and Lemmy, and I'm starting to see some of it appear on Threads as well. Instead of knee-jerk reactions to defederate from Threads to avoid the the embrace-extend-extinguish that happened to XMPP, we should build technical safeguards to keep things open.

Although Meta's social media and privacy woes are well-known, Meta is one of the largest contributors to open-source and AI/ML. We should be encouraging companies to federate and building safeguards into ActivityPub to discourage "embrace-extend-extinguish". We're already seeing fracturing in the Fedverse between Pleroma and Akkoma, Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and most Lemmy mobile clients not supporting Kbin. I want the fediverse to succeed, but this is driving users away—what's the point if this ends as a ghost town? Do we want to go the way of Identi.ca and previous attempts
