Pretty much this. How many artists did you follow on, say, reddit? There were so few on there, and those that were there mainly linked to alternate social media and just used reddit to get engagement. Lemmy is probably the most approachable activitypub interface (we all remember trying to find the damn content on mastadon/bluesky…) and it’s just not big or established enough to be worth trusting. Hopefully that will start changing soon as more people hop over from the myriad other sites, we seem to be past the critical point for new users, but it just takes time.

Lmfao sure dude, whatever you need to believe. We’ll save a seat for you over here in reality whenever you feel like joining the rest of us.

Lmfao, what law is being followed here? Come on.

They keep bringing up how small the protests were and how they “ran out of steam” or w/e. It really shows how little they actually know about the US.

It seems pretty clear that the negative implication is putin’s regime abusing his authority for sexual favors (especially given all the mass rapes by russian forces in ukraine…) and not that said favors are bad because theyre gay. It’s telling that they assumed it was based in homophobia, though.

Wonder what the odds are that this is someone grabbing a picture of a disabled dude and putting a caption over it to make fun of them.

The worst dressed nerd in a meeting is the most important one.

Did I stutter? Protecting your family is protecting your family, now fetch the jumper cables and a lightning rod, we’ve got some identity theft to thwart.

I despise them as much as the next queer liberal but it isn’t just the vile boomers falling for this. Keep an eye on your grandparents, maybe sit down and explain the more common scams and tell them to call you if they get something weird. No banking info over phones, etc.

1,850 per person is… possibly reasonable? If that includes the cost of shelter & administration, that’s not really that absurdly high. I mean, it’s still fucking barbaric and absurd, and the human cost is incalcuable. How much better would these peoples lives be if they spent that cash on in-state facilities & humanitarian programs rather than this ratfuckery? I just expected this abject craven piece of shit to be funneling waaaay more $$$ to his cronies than this.

Its amazing the number of problems in life that can be solved with a $2 harbor freight automatic punch. Speakers especially.

Slightly less “Quantum is an advertising term only used when you have nothing innovative” than usual! They’re apparently using a QRNG (Quantum random number generator), instead of the usual CSRNG (Cryptographically Secure pseudoRandom Number Generator). This is hypothetically more secure, but in practice there’s no difference and this is purely a marketing gimmick.

Yeah alright, fair enough! Crummy that they don’t make that clearer.

Nope they’re right about this one, see below

Read to literally the next line of text and you find:

We all have our preferences, although some people’s are clearly more insightful than others…

Thank you so much for this!!

The free versions of solid edge are buggy as hell, unfortunately. Like, “I can’t zoom in because the text grows to fill the whole screen” buggy. It’s very odd.

It’s just so rough to switch away from the one major CAD suite that doesn’t tar and feather UX devs on sight. Seriously, I like solidworks and solidedge and etc etc, but holy cow those interfaces are just unpleasant to use if you haven’t been steeped in them for the last 30 years. Even Rhino is more intuitive.

You do. It’s just more tedious, and you may not get some of the collaborative history like component comments and the like.

Sentencing in the US is insane. Amara Lundy only got 10 years, and that was significantly more gruesome than this (going solely by the “how many dismembered body parts there were” metric). It’s wild.

you can at least get them directly instead of paying scalpers now, but yeah it’s still $80 for an 8GB board.
