Welcome to the internet, where people try their best to find people with the same opinions so they can feel good and get pissed when they can’t.

It looks like they’re parked in the lines. What am I missing?

And biases!

I heard about this as well. I think maybe this is what is mistaken as subconscious. I think it’s the “dogs in a trench” coat situation. But there is actually some amount of deep communication. Maybe even just hormonal/ emotional.

Sometimes in life I’ll get a feeling that’s origin is not immediately apparent to me. After some focus I can trace its origins to the intersection of two competing desires or something. That I understand. But other times… Even with long sessions of meditation, it feels like the explanation for some feelings do not reside within my own consciousness.

I’ve begun to try and listen for other consciousness and understand them. I’ve gotten a sort of impression of a personality and when we’re both happy, I feel a sort of harmony. When they’re upset I feel a pull towards chaos. Doing something can be as simple as getting a drink they like or as complex as avoiding a certain social situation.

Or it’s all in my imagination, lol. If so I’ll enjoy the placebo.

Or simply emoji based “reactions” like in most messaging platforms. This user friendly and immediately understandable system invites many ways to express how you feel about a comment. I think the community would eventually develop a sort of nuanced language to capture how we feel about a comment. Like “we all know what 🏴‍☠️ means.” But perhaps this is too abstract.

I don’t think it needs to be our goal, but I think if the fediverse gets popular, we should let it grow. I see this place as an infinite green space for people to come and feel free to discuss their interests. Lemmy’s communities ensure that it scales, because you only join ones that interest you. Then the community can enforce whatever spirit of discussion it wants to maintain and people can create another community if they want to try something different.

Nah, I just assume it’s someone that really likes something. Kind of like saying food-porn but even less sexual. Like Audiophile is common parlance that evokes no sexual meaning.

I’ve only personally owned the Anycubic Vyper which is supplanted by the Kobra. I’ve had it for ~3 years with a decent amount of use and abuse. It’s very forgiving and when you work on it you aren’t worried about breaking a 1k+ machine. That being said, since I use it so much, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to the Bamboo Labs P1 series for multifilament prints. If you’re going to be making smaller prints with finer detail, Like if you’re into model/figurine painting, you might want to look into resin printers. They’re more of a process to use, but you can get some amazing results.

As for software, I use Blender, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s just what I had previous experience with. People in the space seem to really love Fusion360. But I can’t in good conscience recommend an AutoDesk product without a fat asterisk after it. They pull similar DRM shenanigans as Adobe. So checkout TinkerCAD. Or just Google: parametric modeling software.

Haha, that’s so smart! Yeah I’m considering printing car accessories, so I bought ASA filament which should stand up to the temperatures in a car and not degrade from the suns UV.

3D Printer. You’ll probably need to learn a bit of 3D modeling to get the most out of it and it is a hobby in its own right… But man, the amount of little bullshit stuff I had to buy from Amazon that now I print for pennies and to the exact specifications that I need. I made a new door shelf for my fridge to hold my coffee carafe, a door stop, a loop for my bedside table to hold cables, bracket to hold my webcam, hydroponics tower, drawer organizers, pegboard hooks, a plate to cover a weird shaped hole in my wall, a bracket to hang a rgb smart bulb behind my monitor, a phone stand, angled smart doorbell mount, broom and mop hanger, board games, and of course attachments for my 3D printer!!

As someone with a hairy butt, I use the same amount of toilet paper for drying. But my ass is WAY cleaner.

Idk in Florida at least 20% of the year you’ll get heat stroke just walking up outside stairs.

Small, good value, quiet, power efficient, built in battery backup and server terminal. Laptops are dope for home labs!

Second the OnePlus 5! I moved to the OnePlus 10 Pro for security updates and it’s great. Battery life is worse though, I hear the 12 isn’t as bad in that respect. Still have the fastest charging on the market though!

Fun ways to get even more out of a game are great. But it’s a fine line between just making it complicated and difficult to enjoy.

True but most people are in that middle group of users. I thought my mom would always be below it, so I set her up with Ubuntu and showed her how to open the web browser. But it wasn’t long before her siblings were suggesting she install a mahjong app to play with them, or goofy camera filters for their video calls. After being reasonably sure they weren’t spyware, I still had to break the bad news to her: “Sorry mom, Windows only.”

She’s currently running a refurbished ThinkPad with Windows 10 pro.

It did what it was asked to do. That’s a pretty good employee to have behind the scenes. As for customer facing roles like car salesman, we’ll have people for a while until they figure out how to make it less agreeable in certain circumstances. But it’ll only need to be one person verifying the work of 50+ car sales a day. Much more efficient than an all human team.

We do have A.I. The Turing test is there for a reason. We just don’t have what movies told us A.I. would be like. Corporations don’t need an A.I. that can think for itself to replace you. In fact, that’s one of the reasons to replace you.
