I only got the backplate but man I’m tempted to do the front too.

Also transparent filaments are great. I 3D printed an olfa knife handle in transparent green (think Razer’s green) and it looks fucking awesome.

I’ve been eyeing Amazfit’s watches hard, ever since I saw a coworker with one. Wasn’t interested in smartwatches before due to all the compromises each one makes but their watches seem like they’re actually good from what I can tell.

Google rugpulls shit way too often for me to take the risk.

Heavy-duty applications? Lots of devices in the home? Reliance on PoE? There are plenty of reasons to use big equipment, it’s not just for show.

I couldn’t run multiple game servers off of a laptop the way I do on my spare Ryzen 9 5900X. I also have it transcoding media and it has 30tb of storage, of which I’m currently using over 2/3s for media/steam cache.

I also have a 24 port switch because I have a whole family here each with their own PCs, consoles, etc… I host the odd LAN as well and it wasn’t really any cheaper to go smaller for when I don’t need all 24, so I just popped it off. I also need two APs on different channels just to accommodate all the wireless devices + IoT shit.

Grew up in a conservative religious household, ended up a lefty because people who understood how to talk to outsiders without being fucking assholes about it made me question my beliefs.

I see the same problem as you with many lefties today: they have no ability to understand conservatives, and seemingly no desire either. They will choose the dumbest fucking hills to die on (drag queen story hour for example) instead of attempting an ounce of empathy.

You could talk to conservatives about corporate welfare or how inequality causes the economy to slow down rather than grow, leading to discussions about taxation, unionization, maybe even shorter workweeks! Nope gotta focus on some obscure identity shit: putting gender neutral bathrooms in city hall while your city’s homelessness doubles is a sign your priorities are stupid. Focus on material, actionable things and actually talk to people: conservatives will respond to that.

Imagine asking “why?” instead of “why not?”

Tuta has been good for me.

It’s like how revolutionary battery technology is always just months away.

Man if you people spent even a fraction of the time organizing locally that you do LARPing about painting swastikas on the cars of potentially innocent people, you might actually have a union or local socialist group.

On the other hand I don’t want you psychopathic clowns in my union.

When I was first learning programming I had a teacher who insisted that the only resource we could was the Java docs.

When you want to know what parameters you need to pass or what certain flags do, it’s a great resource. When you don’t even know how to iterate through an array, it’s not the first place to look.

Remember these are all human beings, many of whom have complex motivations: it is unwise to make assumptions about the one choice you know they made. Try just asking them why they voted for him and what they expect to happen.

Yeah Republicans sure are known for buying electric cars, right? Damaging people’s cars because you lost an election is stupid to begin with but this is something else.

Seeing some of those idiots even in the comments on fucking Lemmy of all places is crazy.

I’m pretty over the whole “4chan dystopian joke becomes real life” thing. Corpo dickheads, you can stop now.

I dated a Chinese student at university. She seemed alright until somehow the topic of Tibet came up, and then she went full tankie describing how the Tibetan people were nearly subhuman, living terrible lives with no ability to care for themselves.

I’ve heard people say similar shit about indigenous Americans and yeah I think it’s safe to say that you cannot understate the dangers of propaganda and nationalism.

I kind of wish they are trolling and we’re dumb for taking the bait. I mean it’s unlikely as I’ve met true believers (both Nazi and tanky) before IRL and these people sound exactly the same, but who knows.

Well in that case:

Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.
