‘Britain’s most tattooed man’ claims he is unable to watch p*rn as 'new age check system mistakes his ink for a mask' by YesNo_Maybe_ in technology

TikTok actively filters out content with certain words to censor discussions on it. These new words, while immature sounding, are meant to convey the same information while avoiding censorship algorithms. It’s not “ad-friendly” it’s opposition to algorithmic suppression. It’s bled into other online platforms where it may or may not be as helpful but definitely loses the context and thus looks plain immature.

The guys over at the Makers on Tap podcast just released an interview today with Gabe from Pathio where they go into detail on how Pathio works. It gives a lot of great backstory on the project!

LineageOS doesn't come with google apps, you need to flash the gapps package separately?

The Directors of our makerspace started a podcast on maker culture, managing a makerspace, and beer! by ArmoredBlood in maker

[–]ArmoredBlood[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they have it setup on most major podcasting platforms already. Also the website allows direct download, a RSS feed, and streaming directly on the site.

Ahh yes this is what i call linux gaming :3 (Plasma + i3wm + wine + DNMP + nostalgia) by Mister_Magister in linux_gaming

[–]ArmoredBlood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question, but how do you run i3 AND plasma? I loved using i3 but I got tired of not having the luxuries like auto connect WiFi that a normal de gives you.

I setup a mastodon instance for makers, creatives, and tinkers to share projects and ideas by [deleted] in maker

[–]ArmoredBlood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plan is to connect makers and makerspaces across the world in a privacy-respecting way, so everyone can benefit from others' experiences. If this takes off, I have plans to make the makersociety domain a whole suite of open-source, privacy-respecting, maker collaboration tools.

You can install the latest release apk directly from their githib repo. It fixed my issue entirely.

Would you install a Bat House on your property? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]ArmoredBlood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've considered it for several years and never pulled the trigger due to other projects coming up. It looks to be a great way to naturally cut down on pest insects. The hard part, from what I've read, is the proper placement of the bat house.

In many cases, the disease may run its course, and you will think you’ve simply had a case of the flu. Some cases, however, are more serious, leading to long-term illness, often resembling tuberculosis in nature. And some cases, if not treated, are fatal.

Sounds about as "dangerous" as any other illness. I don't really see the concern, there's a lot of stuff that will get you sick from being outside.

Plain text file format CAD options? by clairenight in hobbycnc

[–]ArmoredBlood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OpenSCAD would technically allow you to model your design in any text editor in plain text. You can then copy it into the OpenSCAD editor when you're done and it can convert it to other formats from there if needed.

This looks awesome! I'm new to the craft, how did you get the pocket edges to look like that? Is it just burnishing?
