Norodix,

Yeah, but is really hard to do it yourself. Make sure you get someone to help you.

Norodix,

But a reasonable person would not consider a child capable of driving. An “extremeley advanced algorithm that is better and safer than humans and everyone should use it” is very different in this case. Aftet hearing all the stupid fluff, it is not unreasonable to think that selfdrivong is good.

What's a (fiction) book that's written intimately and will make me feel awe?

I read Martin McInnes’s In Ascension recently. What I loved about it is that it felt both intimate and sweeping. Intimate in the sense of going deep into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings; sweeping in the nature of the things she thinks and does. Discovering and investigating things beyond all human knowledge,...

Norodix,

Kingkiller chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. Its a trilogy that only has 2 books, so beware. The way he writes about music, Kvothes time in Tarbean and earlier in the forrest is extremely intimate.

Norodix,

That is exacly what they try to achieve, satansmaggotycumfart.

Norodix,

He didnt mean a penalty from the stewards. He dealt the punishment himsef.

Norodix,

Binary wysiwyg is shit for versioning, I hate it. Plaintext is fine but limited. I like both markdown and tex.

Norodix, (edited )

Replace the potentiometers. Its a bit of soldering. Its not very hard to learn.

Norodix,

It literally list the entities that can see your activity. Websites you visit, your employer/school, your isp. It conviniently leaves out the browser from this list. Its very misleading.

Norodix,

All mobos are a bit different. Best tip: RTFM

Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration?

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I’m really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it’s a little too sensitive and registers votes when I’m simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don’t always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be...

Norodix,

I like that it is optional. Would be even better if it was adjustable.

Norodix,

I have quite similar taste from the videos you listed. I will check out folding ideas because I have not heard about it before. You should check out clickspring. Its an awesome machining channel.

Norodix,

We all get that the design paradigm is “a secure, sandboxed environment per app”. We just know its a retarded design.

Norodix,

I noticed that since the last update I trigger it a ton. I dont know if it was a feature before that, but now you helped me find the setting, so thans!

Norodix,

I really like ori and the will of the wisps

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world)

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

Norodix,

It happens because from normal use the potentiometer inside the joystick wears out. Usually you can buy joystick assemblies for a 1/10 of the price of a controller, so if you can solder its very affordable to repair them.

If you dont want to solder, you can extend their life by applying a bit of contact spray to the potmeters inside after disassembling the controller. But that can corrode other components, so be careful with it. Still beats just throwing them out.

Norodix,

As far as I know its the graphite parts inside the potmeter that wears down.

Norodix,

I’ve seen those in disassembly videos of the steam deck and the switch maybe. But all the standalone controllers I personally have taken apart were soldered in place. eg. xbox360, dualshock4, some generic third-party ones.

Norodix,

What do you mean lately? I personally repaired a drifting xbox360 controller, and that console was released almost 20 years ago. I assume the controller was just a few years younger than that. I think eventually all potentiometers develop this issue.

Norodix,

I like the wonky icons on the left a lot. GNU is so unreasonably ugly, I can’t not love it.
