setting dedicated time for routine stuff (like going to bed at 11pm and batching in other stuff ) also helps personally but can break down if the routine is broken due to life happening, not at home, etc.

absolutely relate, I struggle with this a bit. found that blocking out time in a calendar app (it sending out "15-minute before" reminder notifications) or setting alarms/timers works for me personally.

The recipe I was using specifies to slightly flatten the dough before baking and it really does help the final shape.

There's something to be said about sticking with the OS you are familiar with. Linux has come a long way in the past 10 years but can imagine it can put Windows users out of their comfort zone trying it the first time still.

Sort of related: found out last year that PNG (as in the file format) is actually supposed to be pronounced "ping" per the official spec. Am not sure if I have ever heard someone use that pronunciation but it's technically there

These took surprisingly long to bake, the oven may be running colder than advertised or I had too many trays in. Either way they taste good so am not complaining 🤷♂️

Regardless I have been enjoying "North Woods" by Daniel Mason, at least the beginning of it.

If they can code for the web, I personally use GitHub Pages for hosting with a custom domain if it's just for a portfolio to get started (it's free, but code is public). If they need more capability right away (shops, etc.) then some of the options others suggested here are probably better

Would imagine encouraging that sort of change would require a whole shift in mindset on their end - how people express their ideas in code is really personal. If they don't see an advantage, they may not see the point in putting in the effort to learn something new.

Maybe people are more likely to engage on a platform with a comparatively more positive/welcoming environment. Haven't used Threads but that's been at least a main differentiator for me here compared to Twitter

Tend to misspell "restaurant" pretty frequently although keep trying to correct myself on it.
