I’m watching a lot of hobby welders on YouTube using angle grinder cut-off wheels and so many of them aren’t using guards in their grinders. 😬 Please use a guard. The correct kind, too, not the one you use for angle grinding. Use the one meant for cut-off wheels that fully shrouds half the cut-off disc, please, I beg you. You do not want shrapnel going into your hands, arms, and face when the disc shatters at 11,000 RPM

We really need a word for an "anti-summary", or what you get when someone pasted some bullet points into ChatGPT and got it to turn them into two pages of fluff prose. Normally I like fluff, but not when it takes an hour to read something that could have been two minutes.

Everything feels split nowadays, we dream on a moment where distant worlds can sit together. Even the farthest places can share the same light, a simple connection can soften the space between us.

Illustration for the activity that my friend Raucous organized during Confuror, where he wanted to make a silent trade of random things in a box, he left a lot of pins, art materials, stickers, plushies... expecting people to grab anything but giving something back, anything, except trash or food. It didn't work as expected, tho. People just took everything away in less than an hour that the box was out and not giving anything back, there were some few who placed some things but it was trash. Well, it sounded nice. Not sure if he will want to repeat it, tho. But the drawing is here!
Use that car until the wheels fall off! Keep your phone for as long as batteries hold out. There are no real leaps forward worth annually upgrading for nowadays anyway. Keep that wallet until the stitching fails!
@colinstu My dad was always frugal. Never a bit spender when I was growing up. Now he moans at me because he feels I might have taken his example a bit too far :D
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.
this is already my whole life. I cant afford to buy everytime something new. Even my clothes. I wear them until they are to broken but even with small holes I still wear my shirts. Maybe I look sometimes homeless xD My phone slowly dies already. The Battery is already shit but cant afford a new phone so the old one have to stay longer.

Yeeeep. I've learned to mend and repair so many different things in the pursuit of exactly this. Sewing, soldering, wrenching... Anything to keep from buying something new, hehe~
The newest car I've ever owned was a 2005 model year, and I still drive a 26 year old pickup truck with 250k miles on it. Keeping up with repair costs is still cheaper than a monthly payment+full insurance and there's no risk of repossession since it's paid off.
I drove my old pickup truck long past the point that things were literally falling off (front sway bar? Who needs it! Gas tank hanging by a thread? That's what bailing wire is for!) and only had to junk it when the brakes failed. It just wasn't worth the money to fix and that wasn't something I could MacGyver.
almost everything is worse now, anyway. Less reliable because of all the shitty software that depends on shitty software in the cloud. Less repairable, both by design and because it's more complex and because of all the proprietary shitty software. My mom's been through three refrigerators in her kitchen while the one in her basement that she brought with her when she moved in twenty years ago, and was already ten+ years old, just keeps going. Don't get me started on furniture.
This #Guardian report of #Farage’s racism and antisemitism in his teens builds as each day goes by, more and more of his contemporaries are now not afraid to call out his lies and reveal how truly abhorrent he was and still is.

The more I think about this, the more I realize: pretty much every website has some form of tracking code (Google Analytics is free for a reason), some kind of advertisement integration, Facebook/Google login integration, _something_ that steals your data and tracks you.
The largest exception to this rule that still sees any reasonable amount of web traffic is the #fediverse.
When i was younger, you could leave a web page open overnight and still read it in the morning. Without it deciding to reload. But that was before 50MB of framework was needed to display a paragraph of text...
Not that systems don't have gigs and gigs of RAM now compared to the 12MB I had then.

Wow.. Gotta say, I've shared a lot of these in the past - but my timeline is truely crammed full of people who I followed for some tech oriented reason, and subsequently noticed identified somewhere among these groups!!

It's bonkers the amount of overlap there is around masking, conforming to stereotypes etc. Though I hadn't realise this until I read these.
I guess it's probably why I've felt "I get it" and done my upmost to live up to the role of an "ally" - especially after paying attention and reading what people in these groups have to say!
I don't really leave my flat often, so the "difference" I make is only what I manage online, but I've met and spoken to so many talented people....
@Synchro It has a great idea about time travel in that they build a box that simply reverses time while you're inside it. So if you want to go back an hour, you have to spend an hour in the box. And if you want to go back a week, be prepared to spend a week in the box and pack supplies. So it's not a trivial "jump to whenever" time travel.
They start to use it, successfully, on minor tests, and everything seems alright. Then things start unraveling...
I actually had a Champions character that was creating a receiver for messages from the future. You see, you have to start with a receiver or you won't know it's working.
Capitalism does not work, we can see that now. Eventually, only the super rich will have money, but it will be worthless because there will be no economy to sustain it. At which point they will have to fall back on violent oppression and control of the fundamentals of life. This is already happening in certain parts of the world.
Communism does not work, we saw that already, because all the attempts at it never managed to get past the dictatorship or the proletariat.
So what does work?
Regulated capital markets with sectors carved out so that the are owned and controlled by the state. Water, Power, Transport, Health, Housing and a few others. But that can only work if all the governments agree to it, and while ever they are wedded to unadulterated capitalism we are stuck at square one and on the path to destruction.
A ray tracer written in pure CMake (by perverting CMake to do fixed-point arithmetic). For non-programmers, this is a bit like building a wide-bodied airliner ENTIRELY OUT OF LIVE EARTHWORMS (nobody tell Boeing):
twitter is a social media platform created in 2006 by john twitter, when he didn't like that at the time people with blogs and in forums got to communicate their complex thoughts with lots of organised text, and wanted a space where communication is so limited that all that exists is barely comprehensible streams of unfiltered thought with no nuance at all
SALAMANDER!! You don’t see many of them in the furry fandom, even though this community is full of so many species. There are so many animals that almost never get picked. What animal species do you think deserves more presence? Quolls, alpacas, whales, seals, turtles...?

The wilder these get, the more closely I feel they represent just how fragile and easily toppled all the digital infrastructure we use today is.
When I say it's a good idea to get IRL names and addresses for your closest friends so you can stay in touch in the event that the internet as we know it collapses, this is why I say that.
I seem to have an instinctive aversion to going very far up this edifice. Probably why I just don't do languages newer than maybe Python and don't trust things that automate other things that automate other things that automate… etc. The tower of layers of abstractions is just too high these days.
