You can get your local instance admins to delete the messages from its DB, but you can't do anything for the other thousand or so federated instances, they all have a copy of the messages.

Safely depends on the content of your messages. But generally, consider your messages public.

Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+3DS+XL+Battery+Replacement/25068 - Looks easy, barely needs a guide.

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+3+Battery+Replacement/3255 - Definitely doable, although I will say that you should be careful with game controllers, they are often full of springs that will escape and be a complete pain to find and reinstall.

It's very sad. He had some brilliant ideas, with a bit of mental health support he could have done incredible things. RIP :(

Retro consoles aren't my thing, but i have replaced batteries for all kinds of devices, and it's usually fairly easy to do. Aliexpress et al. have all the batteries you could want, and a little fiddling with some screw drivers and you cam usually get the job done. Fairly safe with some basic common sense as well.

Okay, I see we have some confusion, when you said "new retro", I was thinking of the N64 raspi thing that came out last year. Those did have a manufacturer warranty.

In terms of second hand consoles, yes, no warranty, but, it's still not messing around with emulators, it should play the games largely as expected.

Phone attached controller might be cheaper, but surely you can see that its a significantly worse experience than a properly built console?

Expensive is relative to income. 300eur is not much money for some. Also, 300eur is cheaper than a steam deck...

Buying a complete product means you don't have to mess around with emulators not working quite right, and if it doesn't work, you can just return it. Those two alone are pretty good reasons to get the prebuilt machine.

It's a good site for that, because it's a very non-suspicious domain name. It's also a very bland technical site, so you won't know it's about buttplugs until you scroll to the bottom.

I don't know of one, just want to warn you that you'll likely be collecting personal identifying information (PII), which requires careful storage and protection. You may want to seek some legal advice before going down this road.

Yearly firework tradition (programming.dev)
 

Every year, I grab my camera and head out to try take a photo of a firework. Every year I get a blurry mess of poorly exposed photos. This is the best one I got this year.

ESPHome Addressable RGB Emulator (github.com)
 

Hi All. This might not be for everyone, and is very rough around the edges, but I have written a tool to more easily test how custom addressable RGB effects work.

Simply copy the code portion of the lamba into a text file, and then build and run, and it will output on your terminal how the effect will look.

It is very rough, you need a C compiler, and a RGB/TrueColor capable terminal.

If it works for you, let me know, if it doesn't, also let me know.

Rewrite of screen in Rust. Feedback and advice pls. (programming.dev)
 

I dunno if this is appropriate for this community, so mods, please delete if not.

I have been writing a screen clone in rust.

https://github.com/cameroncros/PoorMansScreen/tree/better_screen (The main branch is how I currently use it, not at all screen-like, the better_screen branch is much closer to a screen replacement.)

It all currently works fine, albeit quite simple, and I suspect not following best practices. Please talk shit about my code so I can fix that :D

For my next stage of development, I would like to use some combo of vt100 and ratatui to wrap the shell in a border, or add a menu bar at the top or bottom to make it clear when the user is inside a "screen". Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about doing that? I am very unskilled at ratatui.

How do you feel about portrails of Autism in media? (programming.dev)
 

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

Cutting Garolite (G10) (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CameronDev@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.ml

I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size.

...

Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth.

For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better.

So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.

Does alien.top do anything other than mirror reddit comments? (programming.dev)
 

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
