People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 9 points 2 months ago

Agreed. Amazon is a sales company. Google is a data company. Open Home Foundation is a better company.

But is a flake the same as a scale? Bad explanation.

Cobblestone, somewhere in Brussels in c/pics@lemmy.world
[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I passed through twice, had to be in the Netherlands for work and while I was there my partner visited family in the UK. So we took a week off after and met in Brussels before going to Ghent and Bruges and back to Brussels before heading back to the UK.

That first day we did wander and go to some of the sights (we aren't very touristy) but really liked it. If you ever are back in the area, I highly recommend Ghent!

Had I seen this two weeks ago when passing through, I may have hunted it down.

Chicago pastor sues Trump admin after allegedly being shot by ICE agents in c/politics@sh.itjust.works

There is a submit correction link at the end of the article. I encourage everyone to say:

The charges are alleged. The "getting shot" is fact. Please correct the headline."

Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

Hah, I was about to say they seem to have misspelled FreeCAD.

Measuring cup that doesn't lose its printing? in c/buyitforlife@slrpnk.net
[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 19 points 2 months ago

Find one where you can see the measurements when looking down at it. So much better.

Or, use European recipes so you can just weigh the water like normal people.

When to use exhaust/intake fans? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

I have a Sovol SV08 Max with enclosure. The enclosure has an exhaust fan and an intake fan, controllable seperately.

I've printed PLA with the door open, and ABS with it shut so far.

When would I actually use the exhaust/intake fans? And is there any occurrence where I would need to control them independently?

I ask because I'm wondering if I can rewire them to the same port and use the additional line for a Nevermore filter fan.

Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs in c/technology@lemmy.world

Best part:

The unauthorized party gained access to “information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord through our Customer Support and/or Trust & Safety teams”

Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' in c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

I mean, if you're stealing it back, it's also decriminalized?

FOSS Android File Manager with SSH? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

Hi all, I was pretty happy with Amaze, but their SSH connection constantly breaks (all the top issues are about it), and Fossify doesn't have any network connections.

Does anyone know of a good modern file manager with SSH that works?

Matrix to XMPP migration (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

My partner ran across this thread randomly when searching for something else. This is the epitome of mid 2k internet arguments between the dumb and the not so dumb. It's 5 pages long, and I bet if you start it, you will finish it.

It revolves around a debate of how long a week is, what working out "every other day" means, and everyone else laughing at them along the way.

Holistic is probably not Wholistic because an author wanted to sound smart (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

The author of Holism and Evolution, Jan Smuts, used the Greek word "holos" as the root of "holism" instead of "whole" (the book was English, and "whole" was commonplace). In later years, wholistic was coined, but never caught on. While there could be other reasons for the choice than making it sound more scientific, it sure seems to be the case.

This is one of those examples of the English language that annoys me.

Could I combine a magnetic pad with a sewing/cutting mat? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

So there are tons of 12"x9" magnetic grids out there for dropping screws onto when taking apart electronics, but my projects typically involve integration into other materials.

Having a sewing mat (about 24"x18") with all the metric/imperial grid lines and angle lines, but with a magnetic backing for holding screws in place would be perfect.

Has anyone ever tried to make a DIY magnetic desk pad? And if so, how did it go?

Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..
