The most amusing thing today is my "Encyclopaedia Metallum" page that someone filled in and added all my old bands (click on the "Past Bands" tab) because while it is technically accurate three of those bands never played shows and one or two of them never recorded anything. (Also, they were mostly punk/hardcore bands.)

@rasterweb that's awesome. Too bad my high school band didn't make it there but whatever 🤣

@rasterweb Keep trying what? I still noodle on my guitar every now and then, but I'd much rather just listen to music now 🤣

Even if I wasn't having a blast doing multi color prints, being able to control the humidity around my filament in use is why I'd recommend everyone gets an ams or a dry box or whatever...

💡 portal for anonymous telemetry. Hear me out!

Many developers want to have telemetry so that they can learn about how their app is used and how they perform.

It can lead to better software, but it's also a privacy nightmare 😮‍💨

Currently, apps need to enable full network for it (or more) and users have 0 control over it. This is happening. Right now.

What if there was a way to remove all the negative aspects of telemetry so that we can consider it safe? 🛡️

@sonny yes please!! This is something I would prefer to not build if I can avoid it and we need some basic telemetry badly :)

If one does not understand how blocking I/O works, it is too soon to research async I/O

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@drewdevault This is precisely while @pidgin is moving from sockets to the GSocket abstraction. BSD sockets are too easy to get wrong.

All it would take for AI to completely collapse is a ruling in the US saying these companies have to licence the content they used to train these tools.

They simply would never reach a sustainable business model if they had to fairly compensate all the people who wrote, drew, edited, sang or just created the content they use.

Simply being forced to respect attribution and licenses would kill them. Will that ruling ever happen? Maybe not. Should it? I think so.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@thelinuxEXP I would be very surprised if that ruling ever came.

I remember back in college in the 90s having a lot of difficulty with the required length of writing assignments. I used all the tricks of squishing margins and larger font to make whatever it was I wrote look like there was more to it than there was. Now, I'm in college again in the 20s, and I have writing assignments. I don't know if the requirements have changed or I have, but writing assignments of at least 300 words? I can write you 300 words about my breakfast. Maybe I just talk too much.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@mike I have this exact same problem. Now it's more like must stop writing 🤣

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@mike Exactly!!

Amazon is...

-Working to crush union drives at its warehouses
-Fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional
-Spent over $17 million on anti-union consultants over the past two years

Amazon might just be the most anti-worker corporation of this generation.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@rbreich at some point their union busting is going to cost more than the unions would...

We seemed to have reached a new level in the where no English speaking users are using chatbots to open support issues.

Nearly 3 weeks in to this support request and I finally got a hint that this might be the case. Although looking back maybe I should have noticed it sooner.

Either way I don't know how exactly to proceed so I've been asking around for native French (I think) speakers to help. If that's you, please let me know!

@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

We may have gotten this sorted, thank you everyone that boosted and replied!!

Guys, I think you missed the "y" in that string.

@rasterweb this is why I like using "programs". Am I the benevolent Flynn or the Authoritative Clu... Who knows?!? 😅

    @sonny discord does this as well but they at least give you an option to trust the domain for future links.

    At some point I should look up how much money I've spent on Bambu Lab's products but I'm scared it's going to be much higher than I think it is.

    grimmy,
    @grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

    @mike DO IT! That said I only have experience with P1S's.. But yeah 😄

    grimmy,
    @grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

    @mike oh yeah all of the bambu lab stuff is insane. Even the P1 series.

    For those of you who follow me I just want you to know I have no idea where I'm going...

    grimmy,
    @grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

    @rasterweb I'd buy that.. I know roughly where I'm trying to get to, but too much crap gets in the way 🤣
