When I made my switch, I was the same. I started by weening myself off sugar by mixing diet with regular in ever increasing proportions. Diet sweeteners taste very sweet to me now, and sugar is very strong, almost undrinkable.

Yeah, full-sugar soda tastes like drinking cake frosting now that I'm a diet drinker.

Surprisingly for me, the switch to diet caused a gradual and permanent drop of 10% of my weight, increased density, and without change in other parts of my diet or exercise. I did drink a *lot* of soda though, so I can see how those calories were tipping the balance.

No. Warmer temperatures might change how much you eat and drink of the (cold) foods and beverages you already eat and drink, but it doesn't make you want more sugar. It makes you want more [cold thing], which happens to contain sugar. People drinking diet sodas aren't getting more sugar. They probably are getting less calcium as the sodas bind to the calcium in their food, but that's not sugar.
This is a food industry problem, not a warming problem.

Orange is just vibrant brown, so I can see a language without a distinct word for orange.

A chat bot is not a human. It has no agency.

It IS different. A chatbot has no personhood or agency. It's a computer program, not expressions to a human being.

Having an interaction with a computer program in no way expressing intent. The input is no more valid than the output.

I say all kinds of shit just to see what it will respond. This is a thought crime.

I mean, we're all reading this article, or at least TFS. Okay, I'll fess up. I only read the title.

Here's a good tip. Pressing Ctrl-S will show the new dialogue box for saving, which includes OneDrive and Google drive locations. But if you press F12 it will save directly to your local file system with the classic shell common save dialogue box. Also, even saving to OneDrive still keeps a local copy on your drive so that you have it offline/disconnected/etc.

Google won't let you save a document in their word editor without saving it to Google drive.

The folks in #archlinux on Libera chat are all pretty friendly in my experience.

Same. Or some sites like ars require a visit to read the full thing

It's so much better than the algorithmic feeds Google tries to steer us to like with the Google Discover feed baked into their launcher home screen on Android, or the Widgets board with the MSN "Start Feed" Microsoft pushes on Windows 11. Obviously both with sponsored clicks all over them. Plus neither ever surfaces much I hadn't already seen from the RSS feed of the sources I follow already. Like you said, RSS is the way.

Didn't know about that. Also I wish more sites would post their feed link. Many have an xml feed but don't post the link so you have to guess to find it

Only barley started to dable so no recommendations so far. Saw a few projects on GitHub but so far still going along with Feedly. I'm probably weird with my habits because I use Feedly constantly to browse headlines of what's new, but I always push things to Pocket or now Instapaper to actually go read later (rarely I'll read something direct on Feedly). That's a lot of pushing links around and gathering them up in another place but it's what I've got so far.
