stealth_cookies,

The way tree style tabs worked after they broke it was never very good. Floorp is what to use if you wanted side tabs on Firefox.

That said I still went back to Vivaldi after trying to use Floorp because of stupid little ux issues like pinned tabs not being protected from closing, and broken session saving.

They designed a product that doesn’t solve a problem that anyone has. On top of that they designed something that doesn’t even work well.

The original Trackmania game came out in 2003 and contained 3 environments with different cars: Snow, Rally, and Desert.

The latest Trackmania game came out in 2020 and as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original game they have been adding the old cars from the original game into the latest game.

stealth_cookies,

Sorry I should have said 2003, it came out in November of that year and this is supposed to be a yearlong celebration of Trackmania. The earliest game most people have experience with was TMNF/TMUF which came out in 2008 and United does include all the old cars so maybe that is your reference date?

I literally have Gmail connected into Outlook at work because of how much better it is than the shitty way that Gmail deals with long threads of emails, emails with attachments, and just finding old emails in general. GSuite in general is just hot trash compared to proper Office.

stealth_cookies,

Sync, used it for who knows how long for Reddit, and none of the other options I tried before it was released for Lemmy came anywhere close to feeling as nice to use.

stealth_cookies,

I’m so tired of people thinking these “benefits” are a solution to the problems we have today. At best they ease things temporarily for those that receive it, while continuing to allow the grocery corporations to pad their profits by charging way too much. We either need regulation about how much profit can be taken on food (at least on a large list of the types of foods people should be buying), or the addition of significant competition within the space and a complete ban on acquisitions within the sector.

stealth_cookies,

I have a couple tips if you don’t mind.

When sketching a line attached to a circle, using a tangent contraint will make the transition between the curve and straight smooth.

Rather than sketching the inside wall and cutting it away, you can just do a shell/thickness command. Alternately, you can offset a sketch from the outside geometry rather than drawing all the features manually again.

Consider how the part is made, you have two very sharp corners on the centerline where the nozzle cannot create the geometry, these areas will be rounded by default, it is better to add fillets so you control what the machine does.

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

stealth_cookies,

Seriously, everyone is going to forget about this in a week. Regardless of how you feel about Apple, one slightly tonedeaf ad isn’t going to significantly affect their reputation.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

stealth_cookies,

One of these services needs to release a feature like Spotify Connect, can’t switch without a replacement for that.

stealth_cookies,

Pretty much, I use one computer to remote control the music on my computer that is hooked up to my headphones or speakers.

Nobody else supports that functionality last I checked.

stealth_cookies,

So they are changing team’s KPIs to allow for this right? If I was an employee I’d also be fearing that it is going to become impossible to do anything because they won’t have the access to systems to do their job.

stealth_cookies,

The problem is that if you implement security that is too strict, then employees will find ways around it that are even worse than the more permissive method. I don’t disagree that people should have the minimum access required to do their job, but if it isn’t proprietary then the controls should be relaxed, and if someone requests access to something it needs to be responded to immediately so they are not delayed in whatever they were trying to do.

Loblaws literally just announced their quarterly results which included a 9.8% increase in profit year over year. Unless they are claiming that the incrsased profit comes from goods that aren’t food then Weston is lying through his teeth.

Unfortunately for consumers the company cares about their shareholders first and don’t give a shit about those who can’t afford to eat.

stealth_cookies,

Red book is perfectly fine for all listening applications as it already exceeds human listening ability. Higher bit depths are useful to the people actually making the music while higher sample rates are just useless data.

stealth_cookies,

It is just a shame that none of the alternative services have a solution for Spotify connect or I would have moved long ago.

How do you build complex shapes? (i.imgur.com)

I’ve made a large number of custom prints, and all of them were created using TinkerCad. It’s an amazing toolkit, stupid easy to use but versatile. That is … until something needs a tiny adjustment somewhere. That’s when I feel it would’ve been neat to use parametric CAD instead....

stealth_cookies,

That is because the holders go around an injection molded part and you need to add draft to injection molded parts to ensure they can eject out of the mold. Every CAD software worth using will have the feature. You just model the part with straight sides and then add the drafts in a later step (before you add rounds/fillets). The features generally work by picking some references to define where the draft starts from, which direction to pull the surface, and the surfaces or edges you want to draft.

Honestly, the parts you show are super basic. If you sat down for an hour and read documentation on the basics in Fusion360 you would be able to replicate parts of that complexity no problem.

stealth_cookies,

Yeah, they’re are a few open source TOTP apps that seem pretty interchangeable. I use Authenticator Pro because it has a Wear OS integration that is handy if you have a smart watch.

stealth_cookies,

I hate his arrogance, it seems like they are so certain of the next election outcome (or that the electorate will eat this shit up) that he isn’t even trying to hide that he is an asshole.

stealth_cookies,

Yes, he has always been the insufferable yappy dog of the Conservative party, and we know where he stands with the idiotic drivel that comes out of his mouth and the bad company he keeps. When he ditched the glasses and tried out his new “friendlier” image he toned it down a bit, but the crazy has come back out in the past couple months.

stealth_cookies,

Have you done a PID tune after all these changes? Consisten errors in temperature over a wide range are likely caused by an incorrect proportional value in your PID loop settings.

stealth_cookies,

Translink spends more maintaining fare gates and the compass card system every year than the entirety of fare evasion per year. But the BC Liberals forced the system on Translink so we are stuck with it now.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one...

stealth_cookies,

I remember when you could vaguely swipe at words and they would be magically right, now swipe typing is completely useless and typing normally has maybe a 50% chance of fixing mistakes.

I literally had to move away from gboard because it refused to capitalize “I”. Like this is literally the most basic thing it could do and it can’t get it right. SwiftKey is only marginally better and a shadow of its former self.

stealth_cookies,

This should already be in place with a lot of products due to a California law effective in 2020.

stealth_cookies,

If a request is simple and common enough that the request can be automated, then it is most likely something that I’m already pissed off about having to call in about since it should have been a feature on the company’s website.
