Back in my day we knit those bits into place. That's where the really cool projects are.

NGL dying due to climate is definitely preferable to dying due to fascist hunting people like me

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago (4 children)

With the fascist in power they're going to speed up the climate destruction

So maybe the fascist will kill us with the climate

yay?

Having your own data can be incredibly useful and valuable, the trick is protecting that data so that nefarious actors can't use it.

This exactly

Especially considering trump's opinion on them and Israel's stance on the election (wanting a trump victory) those should have been major red flags about a trump victory if you cared about Palestinians.

Voting the lesser evil is often how politics works. You pick the candidate you yu hate the least and try to mobilize more people in the future to get the policies you want.

Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.

Those that didn't vote against that are a problem.

10 years and counting

There's so much bullshit in new cars that's it's infuriating, especially considering the cars call home with all kinds of privacy violating bullshit.

My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they're a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won't pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they're not giant megacorps.

One thing I would recommend though is if you have some hobbies try to find beginner friendly communities for those hobbies as they are usually super positive and helpful, and they'll give you the chance to be that as well.

Personally I found helping people dive into the stuff I'm interested in was a massive boost to my mental health.

There's just something wonderful about it that I really can't explain.

They mostly turn into crabs in a bucket communities because the ones that stick around long term in those communities are usually the doomer types.

Or at least that was my experience with it years ago.

My best advice is to avoid those communities as I found they only made my mental health worse rather than better.

And at this point I don't trust Microsoft to not stuff them in there as a "last update for Windows 10"

Ah that makes more sense

They probably horde that data like a Dragon hordes gold

That's what I get for not checking my vat before starting a print right after another one.

Edit: For those that don't know there's supposed to be a nice little screen sized rectangle visible without the fancy looking lowercase "t" pattern.

The screen is broken and needs replacement. So does the FEP as it didn't fair too well either but I already have a few on hand just in case things go sideways.

Edit 2: For anyone who's curious the whole process took me 2 hours to complete. I went in blind and it's good as new if not better. Honestly it's working hella good to the point where I actually had to lower my exposure time because my stuff was now getting overexposed. It's amazing what a new FEP and LCD will do.

I'm in the process of switching my machines to Linux Mint from Windows and on my network drive I have a bunch of folders that are sorted with the help of preceding underscores (like this "__folder1" "___folder2")) so that folders appear in a specific order.

When my Mint machines access the drive they sort by the first letter skipping the underscores and I'd really like to have that functionality back rather than having to rename a bunch of folders to try to sort them again. (I'd like to avoid a preceding 'A' workaround if possible as there's a bunch of folders)

Any suggestions? A setting I'm missing (very likely) or something?

Edit: The more I look the more it looks like I'm going to have to make a custom locale to be able to get the sorting I want from the default Mint file manager.

 

So I've got a bit of color blindness going on (a bit blue and yellow, a bit more red and green (not to mention some colors are painful but that's a different story lol)) and I had a question about editing pictures to show what different colorblindness looks like. My friends keep asking me how I see things and I'd love to show them.

I've been editing pictures for years but I'd say I still have a lot to learn in the color grading and color space departments (not like it's easy for me lol)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I primarily use Lightroom but I've been learning Dark Table recently. So either would be fine.

 

If anyone wants to give an ELI5 or a link to a video that ELI5 I'd be incredibly thankful

I swear that all the stuff I find is like super in depth technical stuff that just loses me in no time flat

 

I took this pic while on vacation to South East Oregon (specifically a place called Lake Abert) using my Lumix G9 and my 100mm - 300mm lens at the full 300mm and f/5.6.

I was really happy that of all the critters I saw that day this one sat still long enough for me to get a decent shot.

This little bird chilled for quite awhile singing away which was pretty cool.

I took this picture on the last day of a not long enough vacation this month. I was really happy with how the moon had just enough light to give the shape of the mountain some contrast and how the wispy clouds cought the light from various sources.

I took this with my Lumix G9 with a 25mm f/1.7 lens, a 15 second exposure, and the iso set to 1600.

I had taken quite a few shots with the intent of stacking them but those attempts just didn't come out feeling like it did to be there. This shit though captured that feeling IMO.

I can't wait to give My Adams the same treatment later this year.
