I’m probably the last person that should be answering this, just getting into espresso myself, but you can buy a mesh filter that goes between the espresso and the machine. They’re pretty inexpensive and can help protect the screen from making contact with your puck. I believe they’re also supposed to help with water distribution?

Make sure there aren’t any clocks/screens in the video that expose you lol

I would if I wasn’t on iOS 17 😭

All good! Totally valid and justified

No, that’s why I said we’re falling into the same bigoted patterns as before. It’s not surprising but it is absolutely batshit that we keep rinsing and repeating the same cycle :/

I haven’t read the article yet but damn that’s a sobering title. We must do better in the US (and the world). Really frustrating that we keep falling into the same bigoted patterns rather than treating everybody as inherently worthy of bodily autonomy and respect. Batshit that people are making this out to be a states rights issue.

Noooo don’t use water unless you’re in a climate that NEVER freezes. I drove my grandpa’s car to Utah from Seattle and used the wiper fluid as I was coming down snoqualmie pass and froze the whole windshield because he had put water in and I almost died. DO NOT use water unless you’re 100% sure your car will never be in freezing temperatures.

And to answer the main question, you should be good to use any wiper fluid.

It’s the same reason my complex can force me to pay $100 for Xfinity while my neighbor pays $30 for the exact same service (because they’re in a house).

So far so good! It’s been cool to see activity slowly pick up over the last few days

I’m on iOS beta testing the Mlem app and that’s already improved a lot over the last few days, too.

I’m really optimistic about Lemmy, it feels like cool things are happening here!

I’m hoping we band together enough on here so that we don’t ever have to think about Reddit again
