Qxir?

I found too many of their videos have unsubstantiated claims, and illogical/wrong conclusions drawn from inaccurate or incomplete information.

While they may have high production value at a glance, the quality of the information itself is about as good as any other social media thread.

It’s really disappointing to me cuz I would love their videos but I just can’t keep watching them with such inaccuracies…

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

It appears a bit brittle, more girth at the bottom may be necessary if used for weight bearing activities 🤔

It’s attacking the extremes of both and rightfully so

Why does it have to pick a political side?

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

I mean sure, that’s your choice, but using intentionally extreme, almost misappropriated, verbiage is a bit much no?

Ripping the skin off implies living when it occurs, and “pets” is largely fabricated for shock effect (as is the term “ripping”). It’s quite cold & “surgical” compared to the image you’re painting of my dog having their skin ripped.

To be clear, I’m not anti vegan or anything, nothing here has implied that, I’m just calling out the verbiage for what it is.

Isn’t the quality stuff still just plastic and rubbers? Just a better kind for the job? Or are there other durable organics that do the truck 🤔

Happens at work so often.

Put energy into building robust systems organically (A lot of problems get solved because they where experienced, not because they where predicted) and then a year later you have folks asking “Can’t we just simplify this and remove XYZ? Do these problems even exist? Can you show us how often edge cases a, b, c happens to justify why this needs to operate this way?”…etc

Should have just let it fail and fixed the issues once pagerduty got involved instead 😒

Why?

If I put work into making entertaining material, it’s 100% within my rights to publish it where I want to publish it. It’s mine, I made it, if I only want to post it on my personal website or newsletter who are you to say I cannot?

Calling that a shitty move is in itself an entitled, shitty move.

Bots taking the place of humans when it comes to social interactions is NOT a net positive…

It was negative side effects that we have been seeing for years now. One of which is the removal of organic human behavior, bots driving extremism & polarized views/discussion, and humans losing empathy for each other without realizing it’s the bots that despise.

Let’s not turn lemmy into reddit v2

My first bad interaction as a cyclist was from a right turn on red.

My bike got crushed, and I was told it was my fault since I was on the sidewalk (The alternative would be to share the actual lane with cars in the highway, with no room for the bike. There was no bike lane.). 20yo me was devastated to lose my only means of transportation, I didn’t have the ability to get a new bike, so I had to walk instead, this was annoying/frustrating enough to stick with me…

You see how anecdotes aren’t necessarily ways to determine this? Everyone will have different ones.

They are pretty transparent on their terms on their website. No caps on any of their other plans.

You are using shared bandwidth like all other residential plans, meaning that if there is no available bandwidth on the network you get what you get. That’s the catch.

Turns out when you install bundles of 80Tb/s fiber long haul interconnects. Upselling to enthusiasts can be profitable.

I don’t think that the blame assigned is in the literal sense I think it is in the philosophical sense.

Meaning the chain of events that led here had many MANY interruption points where society could have prevented this from escalating. There is no 1 person to blame for this entire thing, it’s a shared societal burden.

It’s essentially the Swiss Cheese Model for society and social outbursts.

Edit: I’m not saying what happened wasn’t wrong, I’m saying is that we can prevent this shit, and we keep failing over and over.

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

I think you’re missing the point in that we already have a lot of mass shooters because society has failed them.

This is a symptom of our society.

Trying to absolve society of its involvement is essentially just turning a blind eye to the problem and hoping it goes away. Which is exactly the problem that we have.

This is simply taking an actual nuanced thought on the situation instead of letting your emotions regulate your thoughts and turning everything into a false dichotomy.

Yeah definitely not worth doing a comparison to LastPass but doing the comparison to bitwarden and then local only ones like keypass/KeepassXC may be worthwhile

douglasg14b,

It really does read like a PR post.

There’s some bold confident statements in there that are definitely not really accurate from the standpoint of software and system security.

Please tell me no one thinks that evidence < anecdotes? Please, for my sanity…


The sad state of knowledge & logic aside:

There is SIGNIFICANT value to proving something we all think is true. This means action can be taken, it can be cited in argument, and is actually credible as opposed to a “feeling” that’s it’s worse.

Sure, we “know” it’s worse. I’ve experienced search results getting worse and worse for what seems like nearly 10 years now. But I have no proof of this, as such it’s an anecdote.

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes, if only we did this one easy thing! It so easy!

If it was that easy/simple they would be out of business already. Unfortunately reality doesn’t always line up with these “simple” solutions, as evidence by… reality.

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a nice sci-fi thought, but also not really how it works irl.

Physical proximity is not really a factor here.

There’s a lot more going on at all levels that makes this absurd at best. Movies are not a good representation of reality, they can’t be if they are meant to be entertaining.

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US.

And you wouldn’t even want wanted to replace them either because they’re completely unserviceable with digitally locked parts and a board that will brick itself if you disconnect the battery to do any sort of service.

They come out of the factory as e-waste.

n=1 isn’t exactly how this works…

I’ve had an XR and have had 2 falls from it teetering out. I was going 17mph and hit a slight incline, it dropped me like a rock. The other time I left at 100% and it died after 2 miles I felt the pushback and then it immediately sent me to the ground and then it died, at only 12mph.

Neither case is acceptable, I wasn’t exactly pushing it to it’s limits either.

If only they had manufacturing control over the product, they could have built it in or something.

They built the devices for years with user complaints and injuries asking for a better warning system.

And then they release a whole NEW product lineup without any safety improvements from years of experience.

This is just simping, you’re ignoring the facts and the reality and are somehow finding it understandable that a device manufacturer never manufactured devices with safety in mind, after years of being told to manufacturer devices with safety in mind…

I always wear at least a helmet and wrist guards. Honestly should also have elbow guards as well.

The road surface ended up eating my elbow, side of my torso, and knee.

It all healed up fine.

I’ve had… 5 significant falls. Those two, one on a trail where I hit mud and the wheel cut sideways, one hitting one of those buckled pieces of sidewalk at night, and another on a gold course when I hit a hidden hole that stopped the board dead.

Should probably get knee & elbow guards really.

Cat Lovers Rejoice As New Medicine Will Extend Cat Lifespan To 30 Years (www.boredpanda.com)

there is a silent threat that affects kitties – chronic kidney disease. It is a complex and irreversible ailment that typically manifests at around 10 years old in cats, affecting an astounding 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, they gradually lose their kidney function, which significantly compromises their quality of life....

I don’t see how this is a political news point though. Has this person been given government positions or control by their relationship to Biden? Is there corruption happening?
