I haven’t but fucked if I know how.

And execs wonder why we torrent.

How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?

As long as it keeps me employed I am happy to move pixels all day.

It’s logically dishonest to say “There are no gods.” How do you prove there isn’t something? Maybe you just can’t see it right now. Agnostic atheist is the only logical position one could take.

Arduino and hobby electronics. It started out as a continuous loop pad dye machine to save me having to dye fabric by hand, strictly mechanical, but then I wanted to automate adding the chemicals at the right times. Then it was keeping the dye liquor a consistent temperature. Then it was draining the trough automatically. Then I figured out I could design my own PCBs and have them fabricated. It just keeps going…

My degree is in technical theater. I love sets and lighting design, but costuming is where I landed thanks to the local Renaissance festival.

This would require a…uh…you should pardon the expression…re-tooling…to really make it work.

Microsoft Windows. There are better operating systems that don’t make you watch ads, that don’t lock up your filesystem, that don’t force you into upgrades before they’re tested.

Reaper is on a line with ProTools and has a linux port. I never like Ardour. Too much fiddly stuff.

Sewing queue finally empty and I’ve got some breathing room for costuming before the autumn renaissance festivals start up.

Apropos of nothing, where are you finding domains for $10/year?

The suicidal overtone is a huge turnoff for me.

Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don’t commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

Unlikely. Why do you say that? Wasn’t reddit once small?

I think a lot of the federated part right now is really confusing and obtuse to new users especially.

I have no idea what it means in context or in the broader scheme.

Couple of nit-picky things that I’d love to see changed.

This comment box. There’s nothing to visually divide it from the original post. I got it figured out, but my brain is still resisting it as bad UX.

On the home feed, the group an article comes from is tiny and not obvious. My eye is constantly jumping back and forth from subject to group, group to subject, and it’s fatiguing. The subject is only half of what describes the post: what group that subject belongs to is the other.

On the home feed, I have to click Subscribed for my feed. Setting and getting a cookie is at most two lines of code each in vanilla javascript, seems to me that’d be an easy choice to remember.

All inkjet printers are an ink scam. If you don’t need color, or need it infrequently, get a b/w laser printer and be done with it. I bought a used HP Laserjet 2430 back with Ubuntu 18 and never looked back. I print a lot, and just a month ago broke into a toner cartridge I bought five years ago.

Tinkercad didn’t have one yet, so I made it. Would love to see more maker groups, but it’ll grow organically and I’m pretty patient.
