Yet another Reddit refugee from the great 3rd party app purge of 2023. This account is mostly for learning how Lemmy works and may be purged once I get around to hosting my own instance.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I was already entertaining the idea of a Lemmy switch after they announced the imminent death of my beloved RiF. Lemmy was mentioned many many times in the 3rd party app threads discussing the api changes.

They went ahead and hastened my transition by permabanning me (and two of my alts) for “report abuse” since I dared to regularly report all the obvious spam bots that filled so many subs. Meh. I could have made more alts but really just didn’t give a fuck at that point. Sure hope Spez’s pedo ass enjoys his already failing IPO.

Completed. Hope it helps.

I have a suggestion. You may find it beneficial to add a multiple-selection question about the primary types of communities that Lemmy users subscribe to. E.g, “what are the communities you primarily use on Lemmy: Tech, Sports, DIY, Politics, Gaming, Memes/Funny” etc. It will give you a better view of the kind of user demographic that preferred to migrate vs stay on Reddit.

You might also want to add an option for “Niche/special content” as one of the reasons I miss Reddit. Because that is the #1 thing I miss, finding random car subs that could answer all sorts of mechanical questions.

Probably a godsend if you’re a web dev. No more rebooting or running a second PC/VM for compatibility checking.

It’s only there to save money. Otherwise they would see themselves as being defrauded if people bought life insurance policies for 2 months and then jumped off a bridge to get money for their family- their rate-of-return calculations don’t like that.

Remember. Insurance companies are not in the business of protecting clients, they are in the business of extracting monthly payments. Everything they do, every bit of inane crazy backwards bureaucracy they build, is EXCLUSIVELY to maximize incoming payments while minimizing payouts. This applies to car, home, life, health, and every other form of insurance out there. And life insurance is one of the most loosely regulated types (aka, the worst). Yes its technically discrimination, but they couldn’t give a rats ass about anyone killing themselves, since it isn’t a legally protected class they only care about not paying for it.

If you don’t use extra lean ground beef for chili, and then don’t drain it well during cooking, the fat and grease will tend to separate the rest of the sauce and give it a weird oily texture. The plant based stuff doesn’t have that grease so it’s harder to fuck up. If prepared right the real meat still tastes better. You also have to heavily season it during cooking.

Some of the best chili I ever had was actually made using seasoned ground turkey. Because that’s naturally a lean meat.

Skill issue.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

Mmmh, I can see it. Solidifies the grease right onto the ice. That’s smart.

I usually just pull the crumbles out and pat them into a towel to get the excess.

Change your user agent to Chrome/Windows. 99% of the time, weirdness will go away.

I have daily driven Firefox for about 8 years now. There is exactly 1 (one) site that I’ve had not work in FF because of an actual incompatibility that user agent switching didn’t fix. Is one single site worth feeding Google’s monopoly?

So far the only places I’ve gone with valet parking are using it to charge $30 an hour as extra profit, just because it’s valet. Totally normal parking garage otherwise, no increased density or double parking. Very much not a fan.

I’ve had talks with a few PhD’s and a few masters and bachelor’s in mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering. Both in my current industry and at my university.

I am not doing a Ph.D, so take my comment with a large grain of salt. But the consensus I’ve gotten from those I’ve talked to about specifically engineering disciplines is:

  • Get a Ph.D if you’ll want to become a university professor, or get into research/R&D at national labs.
  • Get a bachelor’s and/or a bachelors+masters if you want a normal career anywhere else in any industry. Many companies have programs where you get a bachelor’s, go get a couple years of work experience at an entry level engineering job, and have the company pay for the master’s a few years later as you can take a masters program part time.

The trap I’ve had described to me is that Ph.D’s often become over qualified for typical industry entry-level positions, and the number of Ph.D specific postions much narrower and specialized, making job seeking after graduation actually harder than if you simply got a normal bachelor’s with one summer internship. Of course once you get in your salary will be much higher- offset by some degree by the extra 100k in student loans you’ll likely have.
Ph.D’s specialize in much narrower fields than undergrads, so lateral mobility is reduced once you’re “set” in a specific field and industry. It’s also incredibly difficult to complete compared to undergrad, and will require a ton more of your time- time that could have been spent developing earning potential and a normal life.

I know it’s definitely not for me- I don’t even know if I could survive long enough mentally to go through a master’s program. But your mileage may vary, of course, depending on where you want to take your life.

Complete in only a year? I’ve never heard of doctorate programs running less than 2 to 3 years in the engineering world.

Still, it sounds like you’ve done the necessary planning and have a career path lined out for it. If that’s the case, fuck it. Go for it.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

However they also won’t fire you for poor performance, since then there will really be nobody to do anything lol

Sounds like a win-win to me

LTS means that the kernel will not recieve new features, but will receive security patches. Thus remaining stable with no breaking changes.

90% of android device manufacturers will drop in one kernel at launch day and then never, ever, ever touch it again. Fuck security, fuck the user.

empireOfLove,

Yeah android devices are a weird beast. They use Linux in name, but not in spirit, since the entire system is locked off from the typical user.

You may be heavily underextruding on your 0.2mm setting, if it works at 0.1mm. Since the printer depends on extruding the right amount of material to build up to the nozzle tip, if you underextrude it won’t build up high enough, and that 4th or 5th layer won’t be close enough to the nozzle for the new plastic to be pressed down into it and stick.

Bump up those extrusion rates, slow down the movement feedrates, and make sure your nozzle and extruder motor are all clean and not slipping.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

Yeah, extruder scaling is not perfectly linear, as you scale it faster the plastic slips more on the drive rolls, the heat input increase means the melt rate will not be perfect, and you have to fight the viscosity of liquid plastic.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

I’d assume it does. I’ve always just used PrusaSlicer so I can’t speak to how Orca does it. If it doesn’t allow per-height settings, only per filament, you can always duplicate your filaments and just rename them to each layer height they’re calibrated for. So you’ll have a PLA 0.2, PLA 0.1, PLA 0.07, etc.

Except… its not. Basically nothing changed for InBev. That lip-service marketing thing only generated extraordinairlly loud conservative screeching from 1% of their customer base, that ultimately amounted to a small downward jump in their stock price that hasn’t moved since.

Doesn’t count when compared to the likes of Unity who have quite literally alienated every single user of their product.

empireOfLove, (edited )
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

Yeah, thats overall market trends affecting sales, not a result of their choices or marketing “oops” (that wasn’t even an oops, nobody other than inbred homophobic fag-haters gave a rats ass about that campaign)

What people don’t understand is how absolutely fucking huge AB InBev is. Just scroll through their list of subsidiary brands for a second. They have over 400 individual brands under their control, they don’t give a damn if you stop buying Bud Light. Guarantee almost every single conservative boycotter switched to another beer brand owned by InBev and didn’t even realize it lmfao. They were never in any danger.

The lights would be OK if they simply made them diffuse, low-intensity bulbs like they used to be in the 90’s. Bonus points for being behind a transparent textured plastic lens.

But no, they simply put open holes in casings that expose the most powerful SMD LED chip they could source.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

Of course that’s smart design. You’d think that would be something that becomes immediately obvious when the very first prototype PCB is put out and none of the engineers can look at the damn thing directly…

it’ll only cost $2600 lmfao

It won’t matter, there won’t be any cards available to buy anyway because 97% of their silicon will be going to AI accelerators to make CEO’s richer.

empireOfLove,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

Of course they are valuable. But corporations will always prioritize that which generates value for themselves.

What good are those massive improvements to gaming cards when GPU costs spiral into the multiple thousands of dollars and become completely unavailable to 98% of gamers? 'Cause institutional buyers have no qualms dropping $20k per card, and that will inflate the market to an insane degree. Jensen knows this and will happily kick individual consumers right into the firepit.

I’m not actually in IT in my org but I remember one they sent out was “FWD: Your Medicare Benefits Package is Maturing” followed a few days later by an actual company wide shame email from the CIO about the click rate.
