Parents may just don't talk about it since they try their best to be a role model.

A good answer for them would be: These experiences would be granted if you go to college/university.

You could also ask other loved ones if you don't want to put them into this position.

Looking back at my life I would simply tell them. Maybe they won't answer immediately if they have no experience with it but chance is, that they talk about it with someone who may have such experiences and give you their honest opinion (or in your interest).

I started smoking weed when I was 16. I stopped 10 years later. I ruined my brain. I still have trouble recalling stuff. And I am still actively trying to aid this.

When you are fully developed you can handle the addictive behaviour a little better. When doing such things just in the college time you are not damaging your body that much. Would be my suggestion.

It's expensive and only funny and less addictive when done with trusted ones at a time you do not have responsibilities for others.

Unpopular opinion but if you want to experience with it, go tell one of your caregivers. They might be happy that you come to them first and with such joy make it a shared experience.

Though, you are talking about a drug. So you intentions have to be sincere.

Projects are receiving issues about WSL compatibility issues. So this directly influences FOSS projects.

They would go as far as put bounties for PRs just to get more hold in the community. Just swapping to a permissive license appears to be enough to get contributions.

They can keep their secrets; I won't ever check this repository out.

Does Lemmy even know what EEE means anymore or are we regurgitating words we heard from some article now?

So either all people of lemmy don't know shit (you are not included here - implied) or only your assumption is valid: Wrong sources.

What's it going to embrace and extend?

It embraces the Linux ecosystem and DX on windows. Microsoft is extending the Linux kernel and other Linux projects.

WSL has existed for ages and is just a way to run Linux in a convenient container on top of Windows. That's it.

To you, yes. Can you speak for any project? Is there not a single project where the userbase are consisting of WSL users with compatability issues? Did you research about it? If so, prompt sources.

It's not an attempt to "extenguish" Linux, literally just make the development experience on Windows less painful so people don't switch to another OS. This has nothing to do with EEE.

Trying to bundle the userbase in their subsystem is literally rendering a dedicated Linux machine obsolete. If all would stay there the rest of the distro community would extinguish.

Open sourcing it with a permissive license can only be a good thing,

Can it? Contributing substracts work hours from other projects. So "only be a good thing" is wrong. There are more perspectives then just yours.

and again they're doing it to be more appealing to devs and maybe get free bug fixes from the open source community.

You got sources about their intentions? You just said it: They are conquering the labor market of personal devs.

It isn't some grand conspiracy. But of course this community will react to news of "proprietary blob is now open source" with pessimism.

Did you already review the code? No concerns left? How about pulling private servers for data? Is everything mirrored onto their servers? Any binary blobs there? Tracking/monitoring? Is it safe in regards of privacy and security?

Hopefully you see that you ain't holding all answers and opinions of the entire world. Cheers.

May I?

A controlling department wasn't granted any money for digitializing their workflow.

So these guys created their own solution(s!). Things like dedicated "user interfaces" loading data from tables created by hand. After years these people realized that data formatting is quite the issue.

They started to put random rules into different tables:

Two empty lines: New Group Data Record. One empty line: New Subgroup Data Record.

Excel tables aggregating this data via hardcoded links.

A dedicated table to start calculations on parent tables.

They mutated data like this:

Load data from excel files into one. Manually delete, add or change lines (or columns). Start a collection run from dedicated excel file and load new excel file data and replace old excel file data.

They had files where 'it was easier to read' when they pivot the data. This was troublesome since some values are intermediate results. Dropping one column may imply dropping another one as well.

All workflows required manual alignments along the way.

They were only able to process 10% of the data from a year within a year. Managing millions in cash.

Their data input came from different internal sources. Programs which were written two decades ago once and without any tests. Talking like VB, macro's from host servers and copy-pasta data from other internal programs.

And don't get me started on customer tables.. They created a zip-code encoded filesystem hierarchy where each customer data (you guessed it, excel file) was renamed and then saved. In each of these directories where randomly named files if something went wrong; So no actual file patterns to rely on.

I respect them.

They creates a diagram for their tables with word. Word! (Didn't know either: you can select the web view in the bottom right corner and you get an infitive canvas..) Madness.

I fear this may be the case but since I am not an engineer thought about pulling some opinions here thumbsup

Didn't thought about a weak seam either! I find that my 4 mm stitch length doesn't look good and I wanted to have 1 or 2 mm more.

Thank you very much. You have correctly deduced the sliders, yepp.

Re-engineering would indeed be a fun project and that's why I was asking for advice.

Stitching by hand didn't even cross my mind so thank you for thinking out of the box! :)

I understand you know how to change the step length that can be changed now, yes?

Yea

You say <2mm to 5mm. My very similar machine can go to almost 10mm but it cannot keep the thread very tight.

I would die for 10 mm. I would be in to adjust the machine while sewing for any step lenght larger then 5 but 10 mm would be perfect.

This is the limiting thing, the machine, every part, is designed for sewing a length of 2-8mm or whatever. A longer stitch step would need a complete change and probably a stronger motor.

I can change gearings, leverages and axles if I understand what to communicate. I am not bound to the current chassis and motor. I can construct a chassis afterwards rezpecting current alignments within nm.

By moving the knob or lever that changes the stitch step length, you will see what is going on.

I circled the change in blue. Leveraging the handle could be the case but axles wind on their own. It is a mind fuc* which can only be put in perspective by Engineers, imo.

Edit: you edited before me!! But I don't adress it yet, since you explain the context more professionally. Thank you in this regards.

The machine is more then 40 years old. I attached the photo. The right handle adjust the zick-zack-width (I had to adjust the chassis to get it zero'd) and the left handle puts the needle 'left'/'middle'/'right' in the feet.

I had to cut some chassis on the right handle to the left and adjust the internal screws so that the axle of stitch width is exactly above the front-needle of the geering. It wasn't exact with a straight stitch prior to this.

I may add again: Me or my friends are capable of changing any axle or gearing to nm but I do not know what to request in the first hand. Engineering is very, VERY, hard.... :(

What thing in my machine is limiting my machine step? The rotation on the inside axle?)

I see your point and I just fixed my spelling mistakes for the third time. Please refer to my comment; I wrote this due to an emotion.

It is clear to me that a more powerful motor would not change my step-width. While writing I wanted to offend people.to answer but when issuing the send-button I was questioning my own words - as always.
