overview for Kagu

Brief scroll thru your other photo posts and I really dig your style. The strong frontal focal point with everything else being quite dark in this and the fern one makes for a really cool feel. Very direct guidance for the eyes but also gives a sense of mystery to the rest of the scene. Well done!

Shot with Kodak Colorplus 400 and clearly poorly exposed, but it was my first time using a proper SLR so I have a lot to learn

Thanks! I had the privilege of learning CAD in college, and I got a second hand old ass 3D printer last year for like $180. Its a fun little thing to tinker with! Definitely has a learning curve but its not too bad. Tons of online tutorials, just a bit of an up front investment

I designed and 3D printed an organizer for all my pour over stuff. So you see the grinder, brush, two scales, and a scoop next to all the coffee

My espresso machine sits on the counter but I typically keep the V60 in the cabinet as well

The nice rosewood handle bottomless portafilter was a birthday gift from a friend.

Bird-friendly Coffee Suggestions/Discussion (lemmy.ml)

Coffee cultivation has quite the ecological impact, specifically on birds as it often entails deforestation for higher yields and destroys habitats. The National Smithsonian has a bird-friendly certification which comes along with a website that helps you learn more and find bird-friendly certified coffees.

I wanted to share my own experience and ask if others had come across this and had recommendations for bird-friendly coffees that taste good.

Living on the east coast I actually really enjoyed:

Rockin Cat Coffee. It tasted good, delivery times were quick which gave me confidence as to their small-batch roasting methods, and the coffee I got out of the beans was nice. I remember my favorite one being their Honduras Marcala.

Now that I live on the west coast I've been on a search for a roaster closer to me to avoid lengthy delivery times. I've really only tried:

Thanksgiving Coffee. I can't give them as much praise as Rockin Cat just cause I've not tried all their roasts. I got the Guatemalan SongBird roast and it was ok. It didn't really have all the wonderful complexity and sweetness of some other single-origin non-bird-friendly roasts I've tried.

That's all, wanted to start a conversation, get some suggestions for US West Coast-located bird friendly roasters with really good beans. If it helps, I typically switch between making espresso and pour over for my daily cup.

I think a world without coffee is definitely one of those things we really fail to conceptualize. It feels so foreign to think an entire crop could become a luxury because our leaders continue to fail to hold big polluters accountable and in check.

Individualistic shopping habits won't save us, but I do still wish to find one or two roasters I can really feel a little more conscience-clear shopping from.

Adam McKay Says ‘No Group Is Worse’ For America Than ‘White Liberals’: ‘They’re Getting a Lot From This Broken System’ in c/politics@lemmy.world

Yeah and its all the more annoying when they acknowledge the cliff as if we're supposed to clap for them.

E.g. "climate change is the #1 existential threat" "OK will your campaign commit to revoking fracking and mining licenses on federal land?" "WOAH don't be CRAZY"

I won't find y'all the MLK quote for it, y'all know it. But it is legitimately more frustrating to hear a white liberal tell me we'd be eating caviar at brunch if only Kamala had been elected than hearing a Trumper tell me he's doing nothing wrong.

Part of it is I don't need to build a coalition with MAGA, but this blue no matter who person is actively halting progress in the "lesser evil" party.

Maybe McKay meant that, maybe not. Dudes a rich white liberal anyways so I hope he's self aware when he says this.

I recently pulled a color LCD from a vape. I can't believe ppl throw this stuff in landfill.

However, having trouble driving it in the sense that I have no idea how. I have an esp8266 and started looking at arduino but if you have any advice lmk.

LCD has a FPC 10-pin cable and I know the original MCU that drove it, but thats it

Bro has failed to consider male sex work, or sex work not aimed at people with penises.

In all seriousness this is giving big "I'm OK with gays but can they just not shove it in my face?" energy. Reevaluate how your phrase this argument.

Proton Mail blocked due to missing Web Storage & PRNG??? (lemmy.ml)

Trying to load my usual Proton Mail web app and I get an error that is completely un-bypassable. Details of the error say "This version of Firefox is no longer supported due to a bug in the WebCrypto API. Please Update to a newer version".

Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? Not sure the devs are aware either. Any info is appreciated.

EDIT: Issue was somehow my LibreWolf was not updating as a result of various package manager repo things. Manually updating the install to the latest version fixed this problem.
