After going on over for a look around I agree with you.

Not voting is horrendously dangerous for the most vulnerable groups especially in this upcoming election.

Both with fog and smoke

It’s so eery with fog and a special kind of horrifying with smoke

Specific instances are hard to find which is usually why I flex the block tool a lot around here. Blocking them when they start spewing their bullshit.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head but I’d check the federated list of instances for some of the instances you see with large queer communities (like the one I’m posting from now) to get a general idea as us queer folk get hella targeted by conservatives online.

It’s pretty chill in general and is well moderated

It’s has the occasional instability day here and there but it gets sorted out pretty quick

They don’t federate down votes and you can’t give them out which IMO isn’t the best

But I’d say it’s a nice place overall

Sounds like you picked the wrong instance for an alt account

I’d say if you pick one that isn’t federated with Hexbear, some specific domains ending in .ml, and some of the other conservative ones you’ll have a far better time around the fediverse.

Also don’t be afraid to block people

Because of it being so closed off I’ve hopped instances

And honestly I’m probably going to hop again because having down votes disabled isn’t very good IMO

Edit: 1 big thing though that I wish existed Lemmy wide would be if you have a comment or post removed (hell even bans) you get a message to your inbox. As it currently stands it just happens and unless you check mod logs you’ll never know.

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

Honestly kicking myself for not having this setup on my last Linux install

Good news is it’s setup on my current install

Sometimes I learn my lessons the hard way… Multiple times.

With the new Apple silicon going on it’s killing Hackintosh by literally having non-Apple silicon going to be no longer supported.

So basically the EoL date for a Hackintosh is when Apple goes EoL on non-Apple silicon with their OS.

If I wanted to be violated as much as Windows 11 wants to violate me I’d reinstall Grindr

Straight up it reminds of of being back on Windows 7 and it’s so goddamn cozy to be back there

I only had a couple programs holding me: Fusion 360 and Windows 3D Builder.

Then I found out there’s a functional snap pack for Fusion 360. Now I just have to come up with a solution for Windows 3D Builder.

And the reason I use Windows 3D Builder is for 1 feature: it’s model repair function is far and away the best I’ve used for broken 3D models.

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.

Link to the vid where they talk about it

Short sighted LTT video?

Checks out

Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.

I’ve shucked a few drives in the past but when there was a big sale on hard drives awhile back I finished decking my NAS out with 8TB drives that weren’t shucked as they came out to be cheaper than the ones in enclosures at the time.

The main downside is warranty really and some of the drives from enclosures need to have the power blocked on one of the pins to work (can’t remember which sorry) due to the type of drive they are.

Pretty great

Finally upgraded my resin printer to having a flex bed and my only regret is not doing it sooner

I also finished upgrading my printing enclosures to using 8in ducting for ventilation. This combined with the 8in fan I’m using puts the ventilation at cycling the entire air contents of my room every 2 minutes at the highest setting or once every 4 minutes at the fan setting I use.

To do the upgrade required me to print a 8in duct splitter because buying one is prohibitively expensive.

I started the migration of my NAS to a new system but that’s going to finish (hopefully) by Friday. The data has been duplicated I just have to wait a bit as a piece of software I need to install on one of the VMs has its key locked until Friday (can’t be activated on a new system) and that piece of software is currently installed on the system that will become my new NAS.

Edit: rendered the clip at a lower res

Edit2: Hopefully the NAS move will be done by next Friday. Schedule got complicated again. Oh well it’ll still work for now.

So much this

It’s infuriating trying to find solutions to issues with Autodesk.

But you did forget a classic one: “Hello I’m X from Autodesk support, you should open a support ticket so we can discuss this issue in a more one on one manner.” And then the thread is closed without a solution.

The amount of times I see, “Have you tried just googling it?” As a response to a tech issue is too damn high.

The best part is seeing those answers in threads that I got to by googling my question.

“Thank you for your helpful advise of ‘just Google it’ I’ve now found dozens of threads with that exact same answer to the question I have.”
