Damn, you must be famous then if all the conservatives know you.

Honytawk ,

That would only work if you log in with a Microsoft account.

Nobody I know does that.

Honytawk ,

It is very easy to disable.

Even just disabling the service works.

Honytawk ,

Why so drastic? Just disable it.

Or break the program if you are so paranoid it will ever turn on.

Honytawk ,

I don't know any average user who does their own Windows installs.

Usually they just ask some tech friend for help, and they know how to do it without an MS account.

Honytawk ,

So Mac?

Because that definitely isn't Linux. Where you got to dive into documentation in order to install the correct repositories just to make your audio work. (And if it isn't that, then it is some other bullshit)

Actually, I wouldn't put Mac in there as well, where Apple can just decide you aren't allowed to do something.

Can't think of a single OS that does exactly what you want without much hassle.

Honytawk ,

So you just like to spread unofficial Nazi personifications of a dumb cartoon to people who don't care?

Don't you have better things to do in your life?

Honytawk ,

While good printers, the amount of waste those Bambus produce just don't make them feasible in my eyes. If you use 4 colours, they waste about 44cm of filament while you haven't even started printing.

Honytawk ,

Depends entirely on the program you use.

Most CAD programs has all the features, but difficult to learn and just isn't needed most of the time.

For simple stuff things like Tinkercad and MatterControl are much better. They are basically drag, drop and rotate.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

And if they raised another 2000$, they could add an RTX 4090 graphics card

Honytawk ,

HP printer ink, that is their main source of revenue

Honytawk ,

The moment you use a file that is bigger than 1GB, that computer will explode.

Some of us do more than just browse Lemmy.

Honytawk ,

You can run Windows on 200 MB of RAM

Honytawk ,

I still have a fully functioning Windows 95 machine.

My daily driver desktop is also from around 2014.

Honytawk ,

At which point did Apple decide your MacBook was too old to be usable and stop giving updates or allow new software to run on it?

Honytawk ,

Any computer with only 1MB of RAM is also usable ... as paperweight.

Honytawk ,

From the outside it is with a key.

Honytawk ,

So breaking the glass as the second step isn't a good option.

Honytawk ,

Well, going from 11:59 PM to 12 AM is also a 1 minute gap.

Make it make sense, that 12 hour AM/PM nonsense.

Honytawk ,

There most likely were a bunch of people called Yeshua back then.

Honytawk ,

Even with godly powers, you aren't capable of contradictions.

Honytawk ,

We aren't out here trying to prove Socrates existed.

Where to Recycle Filament?

I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta...

Honytawk ,

Ok, I melted it down and have about 70 bowls. Now what?

Honytawk ,

They require attention, like any affectionate pet.

Dogs require a lot more, and they bark and stink. Then you got those ugly ones like pugs that literally are so malformed they require constant medical attention just to stay alive.

Honytawk ,

So how difficult would it be to update the library to include a blacklist to those big corpos taking advantage of your code?

Honytawk ,

Yeah, Putin doesn't have to hide anything because nobody is allowed to object to any crazy laws he invents.

Honytawk ,

In a world where Dwarves exist, the humans would modify their armor as well.

They wouldn't have unprotected legs and feet.

Honytawk ,

That dog looks like they have PTSD and would bite anyone who didn't give them table scraps.

Honytawk ,

The real question is, can you call it "human meat" if it is lab grown?

It might have the same texture, taste and consistency, but because it didn't come from an actual human it isn't really cannibalism, is it?

Honytawk ,

Does that mean the AR-15 is a sanctioned school shooter gun?

Honytawk ,

Wait, even back then?

Or does he just like to play dress up?

The X is pronounced Shi in Mandarin

So it is basically the same

You don't need to defend the engineers.

The expression is saying that engineers build bridges that are efficient and cost effective.

Although I do believe the full quote ends with "bridge that almost collapses", which would make it more clear.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back ( www.windowscentral.com )

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Honytawk ,

And that IT department also knows how to disable it with a single Group Policy

It really is a none issue

Honytawk ,

Rules are important, but they aren't the most important thing as a GM.

The 2 things that are more important are: pacing and fun.

Not fudging dice is important, but if it is in the way of fun, then I either just not roll or only pretend to roll.

Same with pacing, if a roll is going to bog down the games pacing, making everything take longer for no reason other than the roll, then that roll does not matter.

Honytawk ,

What I found in the TTRPG community is that a lot of GM's like to hear themselves talk. They write these huge paragraphs of sentences stringed together jumping from one topic to the next.

You can even notice this in the way the D&D books are written. Instead of using easy to navigate bullet points, it is just walls of text one after the other. Trying to find some specific knowledge in that is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

As a data nerd, I can't stand it.

Honytawk ,

It is the reason why I prefer starting at lvl 5

Also the classes all feel and play the same below that level.

Honytawk ,

There are more better ways to make a player fear for their character other than death.

Like killing a beloved NPC, making the situation much worse, taking away their valuables, making their god angry, being hunted by assassins, making them wanted across the kingdom.

Death isn't the only punishment a GM/DM has at their disposal.

Honytawk ,

That is way too much faff if you are watching youtube daily.

Get something like FreeTube, FOSS with all the ad blocking and sponsor blocking automatically enabled. And your subscriptions and other settings are all saved locally.

Honytawk ,

I can recommend FreeTube, which is a standalone privacy friendly alternative that gets their videos directly from Google. While also blocking any ads, sponsorships and tracking.

An privacy alternative to Google would be wonderful, but in the meantime we can do it ourselves.

Honytawk ,

Do you have uBlock Origin, or one of the fake adblockers that try to ride on its name?

Honytawk ,

The car maybe not, but the marketing sure does

Honytawk ,

It isn't Full Self Driving if it is supervised.

It's especially not Full Self Driving if it asks you to intervene.

It is false advertisement at best, deadly at worst.
