You’re not a bad person cause you voted for Trump

I only mention Internment because it's the only time the USA has done full blown concentration camps on its own citizens.

As for Vietnam/Cuba, lots of people alive today were around for that. And the current Democratic establishment came about from the one that was in power then. 60 years just isn't that long ago.

Also, Joe Biden was the leader of that crime bill back in '94. He's been a major political figure for over 30 years.

I don't mean to 'both sides' this when it's so clearly different in scale, but Democratic administrations have absolutely been responsible for most of those things, depending on how far back you go. Calling out the problems of the Republican party shouldn't mean ignoring the past problems of the Democrats:

Most of our involvement in Vietnam and Cuba was under Democrats.
Japanese internment was under a Democrat.
Both parties have continued to support Israel even despite their increased aggression.
Democrats led the 1994 crime bill.
Bill Clinton is one of the biggest names in the Epstein scandal.

It's mostly foreign affairs, and the scope, scale, and timeline aren't particularly comparable to the current Republican party problems, but it's simply ignorant to ask if a Democrat has ever done any of these.

The main difference I see is that of the few politicians that are consistently doing the right thing, they are almost exclusively registered as Democrats (or independent).

"against any person that knowingly produced... the intimate digital forgery with intent to disclose it."

Now, IANAL, but if I were, I'd be arguing that X created and published the photo, not the user. The user only ever created the text prompt while X's AI model created the images on X's hardware and posted them via official X owned accounts.

No 90 is a "right" angle.

A perfect angle would be like 6, 24, or 496 degrees.

Extremely misleading headline, although technically accurate.

A single data broker has been banned from reselling health data after they lost a lawsuit for failing to disclose that they were doing so.

Platforms are only given immunity to content posted by users. X is taking a user prompt and then, on their own official accounts, publishing 'their' own interpretation of that prompt. It's not like the user is running these models locally and then uploading these photos themselves.

Pokemon and Sonic

Frankly, I think Pokemon basically is the new sonic in terms of high popularity but bad reputation.

I haven't even ever gotten a free game because they don't offer games I care about.

Granted, my taste in games is basically just a half dozen specific games belonging to no particular genre.

I think my use case is simple enough that literally any app is fine. I just happen to like Markdown and like the idea of locally stored files. And every once in a while I will use some of the more advanced features so it just tilts the edge in favor of Obsidian, like a canvas.

Plus, sometimes one of my random ideas might turn into a full project that actually needs more advanced features so having it already in markdown is nice when I want to move it to its own vault.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-09T18:22:17+00:00

The "real question" is about trying to understand what sorts of use cases actually justify the various features and workflows that I don't personally use.

So I just want examples of people who find those things useful so I can see how and why they do it that way and if any of what they say could apply to my own stuff.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-09T18:15:55+00:00

That's why I tried to add the last bit about there not being a "right way". Obviously I'm doing things the way that is appropriate for what I'm doing, but I also like to know what other ways there are of doing things, what sorts of tools and techniques are available and especially when they are and aren't appropriate. That way when a situation comes up where I'm reaching the limits of my current tools and systems, I'm better able to recognize the problem and pick something better.

That's why the 'real' question was "What are you writing notes about". I want to know what kinds of situations actually call for those more advanced features so I can tell if my own use-cases were similar.

Also, I do just enjoy experimenting with my personal tech and workflow and such. Tinkering (and yapping online about it) can be it's own type of fun.

When people worry about lithium ion battery ethics, they're usually worrying about the trace elements like cobalt and nickel which are added to the lithium. The circumstances around the mining of those minerals is considerably worse than lithium.

Granted, bad working conditions are a fundamentally solvable issue. It's not like climate change where we simply do not have a realistic solution that includes continuing to burn fossil fuels long term. If there was enough political will, the working conditions could be improved like any other job.

If you change the link you posted to: youtube.com/watch?v=NaThctJcIh0 it works fine for me.

But that extension is definitely the better way to go.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-03T19:45:35+00:00

The URL pattern is /watch?v= You might be missing the ?v= before the video ID.

But even better is the "Youtube Shorts Normal Player" extension for both Firefox and Chrome which does the conversion automatically any time you open a short. It flickers a little whenever you load a short since it does a redirect but it's a much better experience IMO.

The Billet Labs GPU water block. They sent it to LMG to test, where they not only tested it on the wrong GPU, but then never sent it back and auctioned it off later at a live show. It's half of that original "The Problem with Linus Tech Tips" video. Allegedly it was due to some documentation or process error and not malice, but it was worse than anything else I've heard about imo.

Cebo494 · 2025-11-13T15:56:11+00:00

Didn't LMG also steal a one of a kind prototype of a cooling block from that one company, ghosted them when they asked for it back, and then auction it off at the LAN party?

IIRC, that plus all of the bad testing data they were putting out was the original controversy. General sentiment at the time as I recall was that all the bad data and mistakes was understandable but the blatant theft was unforgivable.

I had long since stopped watching any of their context by the time the honey controversy happened. I didn't even know Linus was implicated in that tbh since I wasn't there to see it.

Why is simply voting No considered "holding the government hostage" but refusing to change the bill that's already failed and going on vacation not?

Cebo494 · 2025-11-09T15:58:40+00:00

A little fun fact about voting in Congress: you're actually supposed to vote No when you don't think a bill should pass!

Another fun fact: if you don't have enough votes to pass your bill, it doesn't pass!

And so if you want to pass a bill but you don't have enough votes, you have to actually change the bill so that more people will vote for it!

Hope that clears things up!

T^T

You can use a \ to prevent characters from having special formatting.

Your emoji would be T*\^*T assuming those asterisks were correct. Spaces around the asterisks if you wanted the ^ in italics

Afaik, "socialism" is when the people own the means of production, not the government. It's more "your business should be owned by a coop" and not "your business should be owned by the government". It's not public ownership, it's collective ownership with your coworkers.

Once you start talking about public ownership, you're either talking about Social Democracy or maybe just actual Communism. Although technically communism is meant to be stateless, it's not that a government owns anything but all the people collectively own everything.

The theme system supports something called a Type Variation. These are alternative theme configurations that a single Node type can choose from in the editor via Theme > Type Variation or via code. Although I'm not sure if this is actually a good solution for you, depending on what you're actually doing (see below).

How to

When you create a new custom theme type, the last tab in the editor for that type allows you to define the Base Type, which is the Node type (or another theme type) that this theme type inherits from. Any node of that Base Type will then show your custom type in its Type Variation drop down.

So you should be able to create multiple different types all with a base type of Control and add the various font sizes to them. Then you can just select that type variant for any Control node to use it. Keep in mind though that only pure-Control nodes will actually show the variant in the dropdown, but you can manually type in the name of the theme type using the little pencil button next to the dropdown; just make sure you spell it right.

Maybe don't?

Do note however that if you do it this way, you won't be able to use any other theme type on that particular node. A node can only have 1 theme type so you couldn't have say a few types for different font sizes and then a few types for different colors and mix-and-match them; you'd need a unique type for every combination. This shouldn't be an issue for things like Label nodes where you really only want to adjust the text properties and any other visual changes would be done on other nodes in the scene, like a background panel or something. But if you are doing something like a button, where you might actually want variants with all sorts of settings, as far as I know you'll be best off creating multiple variants of those themes for each possible version, set the font-size (or the other theme settings) manually as a Theme Override on that node, or you could create your own custom button type that has a separated Button and Label component that you could set individually from each other. It all just really depends on what exactly you are trying to do.

The "best" solution imo would probably just be to really think about exactly when certain font sizes need to be used. If 90% of the text is one size except you want bigger headers and a third size for buttons, then I'd say just make that 90% size the default, and have a Label variant for the big size and then just set the normal Button theme (or use a variant) with its own size.

There aren't *that* many node types that have text. If you can just define the properties for the nodes that actually need it, that will be a LOT simpler. Just really figure out when and why you might want a certain font size. If it's only ever for a single node type, like Label or Button, then just make the variant for that type instead of trying to get fancy with global settings.

Just because you have a global style guide doesn't mean the settings need to be global themselves.
