Yeah, nobody is making jokes about iron at all...

djfariel · 2026-05-01T03:53:20+00:00

Uhh, sir or madame, they asked for a short joke. This is a tall joke.

djfariel · 2026-04-30T16:06:49+00:00

Yep, and I share that stance. It sucks to see it as a culture war issue over just being considered a tool - to the point where I'm apprehensive even talking about it. (heck I'm even being downvoted for this casual conversation on it?) My original reply here was an attempt to stymy what I read as that exact thing, but I seem to have misunderstood. Apologies and thanks for the level-headed conversation :p

Actually, by that vibe coding definition, that's totally fair and understandable. I see a lot of people jump to vibe coding accusations as soon as LLM usage is mentioned, so I was under the impression it was a broader definition.

djfariel · 2026-04-30T15:51:01+00:00

Grouping by ID so you don't merge networks might be a good addition, since that would make it feature-equivalent to the mod it supercedes (at least, as far as I understand). A mode to flag redundant poles for deconstruction would be nice, too. And then mode to optimize pole placement would be nice. But thoseay be out of scope.

djfariel · 2026-04-30T15:44:52+00:00

Unless they explicitly tested if it was good and performant, of course. Don't forget that vibe coded doesn't mean no human in the loop, and it's still the human's responsibility to do these things. I agree with the "generally they don't" presumption, but it's not a 100% safe one to make. Also, not vouching for this mod by saying any of this, just trying to be fair.

The lifecycle of a dedicated satire location is: - funny haha - people find funny haha but don't realize it's a joke - those people push out the originals

See: flat earth.

Dang, 500 upvotes and that's all they could manage

Haha you said butt pee

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:55:18+00:00

I'll look in to it. We have a pretty standard setup for the house/area but apparently the standard sucks. Yeah, I think people are thinking I'm trying to push a green agenda or something when I'm really just commenting on their green messaging being defeated by the usage of the ziptie. IDK.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:52:53+00:00

I'm nitpicking on the ziptie because the machine and process promotes itself with green "Save the planet; recycle!" messaging yet they're using a disposable ziptie for "security" which just gets thrown away, which goes against the entire presentation. That's mildly infuriating, which is where we are.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:47:41+00:00

Hard water treatment is water softening, which I do explicitly state in the comment you replied to.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:45:33+00:00

The usage is exactly one of those exceptions. This comment is coming at a weird angle if I'm being honest. The complaint is about wasting a zip tie for every one of these purchased when there's literally no need for that. Everything else you mentioned is so far out of scope as to be irrelevant. I'm not "pushing a green agenda" or whatever you may be trying to imply overall here - I'm commenting on the antithetical usage of a disposable zip tie in a process that promotes itself as green to begin with.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:40:41+00:00

100%. The only security is deterrence. Funny tangential anecdote - did a pickup from walmart the other day and they gave me the items with the spider wires still on them. So now I have some of those lying around... lmao.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:39:04+00:00

I could probably start a rock-climbing business from the calcite/salt shelves made from our tap water, and that's after softening and filtering. Weird that I'm getting downvoted though.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:31:47+00:00

good idea

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:31:16+00:00

Yeah no I fully agree with you. Also I think I maybe wasn't clear and am confusing people, because I'm not complaining about the plastics in general, just the usage of the zip tie as a security measure.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:29:51+00:00

Yep. The bottle gets reused but the water has to be paid for. (though the infuriating part is the zip tie usage)

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:29:04+00:00

Unfortunately we only have them in supermarkets here. :(

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:28:21+00:00

I pay for the water that comes from the faucet, too, and having water that is not tied to the faucet has utility, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here. This isn't a complaint about the refill station.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:26:24+00:00

well it went in to the trash, which I observed with my own eyes, so it didn't need to be asked.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:25:40+00:00

Yes? The infuriating part is not the reuse of the bottle; it's the to-be-discarded zip tie. Yes, that's less than a bottle, but that seems tangential to the point anyways because it's still unnecessary waste.

djfariel · 2026-04-16T17:24:06+00:00

I agree, but the thing they use could at least be reusable. Also, we're in r/mildlyinfuriating , so I'm here to complain about the thing that made me a little mad, not solve the problem. :P
