@alyaza As someone who’s still very covid-conscious and an agoraohbe, takeout being widely available has been a boon. Still, the commentary on the experience lost resonates with me. I generally tend to favor certain kinds of meals that I know are going to tolerate being in 3 layers of container for half an hour and still be pretty good. I don’t tend to get apps or dessert, since that just prolongs the degradation. It never occurred to me that restaurants would be actively prioritizing menu items that deliver well, but in retrospect it’s obvious, and I think it’s a bit sad to think about. There are so many meals that are much better served fresh and plated nicely in courses rather than slopped into a box.
And before anyone chastises me for being “lazy” or relying on extractive services, I highly favor ordering directly from the restaurant and picking up. The deeply abusive nature of Doordash et al towards both customers and restaurants is not lost on me.





@Evil_Shrubbery Haven’t gotten the update yet, but based on the release notes it appears 3.7 introduces an emoji search box, which was much-needed! Really happy to see that.
