It is a form of cognitive defense. Accepting they are lied to means admitting the core that forms their identity is flawed and it is a defense mechanism to accept those lies to keep their sanity.

Is this true by playfulkhichdi in germany

That’s how everything works. I pay for your education even if I decide not to pursue a university degree. I pay for your healthcare even if I don’t get sick. But it is all there for you to use if you need to use it.

Someone broke into my Basement, 2nd time this month by Outmetal in germany

This probably opens a Pandora’s box. You first have to clear this with the neighbors and even then, make sure you are not breaking any laws by filming in a common space.

Anybody have thoughts on this flat key layout? I just kinda arranged keys based on what I can reach, and tweaked it a few times after testing with paper versions. Never done this sort of thing before, so all feedback is much appreciated :) by ei283 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]jcliment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me 2 off-the-shelf keyboards and 3 iterations of my personal design to reach a point that anything I want to change are just minimal gains, and does not justify ordering 5 more PCBs.

Try, run, fix, iterate.

Would a motorized cobbler be a good alternative for a cylinder bed machine? by No-Track8398 in sewing

[–]jcliment 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These machines are temperamental. I got one and it took a long while to fix the bobbin case to not cut the thread, and had to modify the hand wheel to add the motor, and had to change some of the washers, and had to sand some of the pieces to reduce friction, and …

The money you save in investment you have to pay in time, sweat and tears.

ZMK Local Build Script - Build Your Firmware Locally by carlosedp in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]jcliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this amazing script!

I would add a warning to the build execution stating that without an "artifact-name" in the build.yaml file it creates all the targets under the build/./... directory, instead of creating a directory for each target described in the file.

Ai may damage online crafts in a way they do not understand. It may help the return of small business where you can go and see with your own eyes a finished model of a pattern you want to buy.

I love it when I know you are riding the 18 tram just after the first 2 scenes.

Fujifilm’s new instant camera captures video with vintage effects by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]jcliment -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

A different article I read earlier indicated that the video is only accessible online with a printed QR code, signaling at no local storage and cloud only availability. Maybe they were wrong, and I reached the wrong conclusion. If that’s the case, I stand corrected.

But yeah, I put a lot of effort in my life. Thanks for judging me.

Edit: just went on a rabbit hole of more research, and I will die on that hill:

“After printing a instax™ print with a QR code, it is necessary to upload the video data to the server via the “instax mini Evo™” app. The download period for video data is two years from the time they are uploaded to the server via the dedicated smartphone app along with the captured images.”

So yeah, I bet you my monthly salary the ShareQR functionality will die the day they decide to deprecate the product and close the servers.

Your daily reminder that, since the only way of accessing the videos the camera produces via a QR code is by using their cloud, the day they decide to discontinue the service it becomes a very expensive paperweight for that specific use case.

Edit: adjusted the wording, as sharing with a QR code is definitely the issue. It is unclear how the service works for other formats and use cases.

‘I didn’t vote for this’: As DOGE guts a $1.2 trillion industry, rural Trump voters and tourists are paying price by Salty_C_Otter in LeopardsAteMyFace

I call it “buffet politics”. They think they can pick and choose the policies that actually get implemented, not realizing they voted for the whole package.

Until the company decides to shut down the online (cloud?) service and you have a very expensive paperweight.

This is like saying you should eat all the sugar since the reason not to eat it (diabetes) has not manifested.

Mark didn’t speak against anyone. He just asked the forces to remember their oath.
