Helix is a modal text editor, but I haven't used it as much as I'd like because it lacks the plugins I use in Neovim.

Indeed, most people I know IRL still use the same passwords for everything.

The Lemmy community is here not on GitHub, and discussions on GitHub issues without a threaded, tree-like structure suck.

I think I copied pasted that in there from one of the github issues. I didn't mean to.

I had to toggle between show and hide read posts all the time for the same reason but I don't think having a read posts section would be any simpler than toggling the setting.

All I know about it is that Mastodon offers this feature and is one that users have requested in a few very popular issues.

Federating communities is a manual process so in smaller instances you don't see as much content as in larger ones since there aren't many users subscribing to external communities.

The Scaled sort on the Subscribed view, it's essentially the same as the New sort.

I make it without almonds and without a mold for simplicity. I then cut it into pieces and store what I'm not going to eat the same day in an airtight container in the freezer. It can also be made with a round mold. Usually, halfway through baking, it's sprinkled with almonds and sugar.

This is a simpler variation I make of the following recipes:

That's one of the features of the 0.19 version, but I don't know how to do it.

 

Hello everyone,

I've recently stumbled upon a fanfic that I'm eager to dive into. I found it on FicHub, but unfortunately, it's incomplete there. The complete version is available on FicWad, but I've been having some trouble downloading it as an epub.

I've tried using FanFicFare, but it keeps prompting me to log in. I attempted to register on FicWad to resolve this, but I haven't received any confirmation email from them. Moreover, I'm not quite sure how to use a login when using FanFicFare.

My ultimate goal is to listen to the fanfic rather than read it. I usually have my phone read it to me using text-to-speech (TTS), so downloading the fanfic is just a step towards that. However, if there's an easier way to listen to the fanfic without having to download it as an epub, I'd be interested to know.

That being said, I still prefer to download and listen to it on my phone since that's what I'm accustomed to.

If anyone has any advice or solutions to these issues, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Hey everyone, I've got a chrome oven (Moulinex Optimo OX4848) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won't budge. I've tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading to rusting underneath.

The trickiest spots are on the top of the oven, and I'm wondering if it's safe to turn the oven over to let some steaming water loosen up those burnt spots. What would you all recommend as the best way to thoroughly clean those difficult burnt-on spots without damaging the chrome plating? I want to get it really clean without risking damage to the oven surface itself. Any specific products or techniques you have used that worked well for this?

I'm in Spain, so I'd appreciate recommendations for specific products that I can find in local supermarkets (all the products available in Spanish supermarkets are in soysuper.com).

 

Here are some of the best tips for teeth whitening:

  1. Use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The best electric toothbrushes for whitening are the Goby brush and the Oral-B 7000[1].
  2. Get a professional tooth whitening treatment. This involves the application of a high concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide onto the teeth[1].
  3. Use custom whitening gel trays. These trays are made and custom-fitted by your dentist based on unique impressions of your teeth[1].
  4. Apply whitening strips[1].
  5. Use baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth[5][7].
  6. Try oil pulling[1].
  7. Practice good oral hygiene[1].
  8. Regular dental checkups are essential[1].
  9. Prevent teeth stains caused by food[1].
  10. Quit smoking & tobacco use[1][3].
  11. Consider getting veneers for a more permanent solution[1].

As for UV light, it's not recommended for teeth whitening. Studies have shown that UV light does not provide long-term effects and may harm oral tissues, create a greater possibility for teeth sensitivity through dehydration, and put patients at risk of high levels of radiation to sensitive areas[2][4][6][8]. The use of UV light for teeth whitening can be four times more dangerous than sunbathing and can cause toothaches, mouth infections, stomach problems, and nerve damage[8].

In-office treatments that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide gel and UV light are considered safe and effective when performed by a professional, but at-home UV light kits are not recommended due to the potential for user error and damage[6][10].

Before starting any teeth-whitening process at home, it's recommended to talk with your dentist to see what they may recommend for your specific goals[7].

I'm curious if consuming sodium bicarbonate or Eno fruit salt could alleviate discomfort after eating a cheese pizza.

Edit: After reading some enlightening responses, I'm uncertain about the specific element causing my issues—whether it's the cheese, sauce, or bread. I can consume each component separately without any problems. However, when I eat pizza, I often experience sluggish digestion, especially if it's close to bedtime, leading to a burning sensation in the morning. I suspect it might be acid reflux triggered by a substantial meal. Perhaps a short walk after eating could help speed up digestion.

 

I'm sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven't hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it's a productivity tool that's boosted your efficiency, a unique game that's kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that's catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you've used a bunch or think it's really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I've used for a while. The coating on them says "Teflon Innovations without PFOA". Recently I've noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off.

I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don't want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated!
