I went cold turkey when the whole API pricing change thing went down.

If you haven’t been successful in quitting (cold turkey or otherwise) Reddit, I’d say do some introspection on the topic of what keeps you coming back to Reddit. What specifically do you find yourself thinking about when you’re wanting to open Reddit?

Once you have an answer to that question, maybe think about just how beneficial it is to you. If it’s beneficial, maybe try to make something similar a thing on Lemmy. If it’s less beneficial and more just addictive gamification that you don’t actually value, practice some mindfulness around it. When you feel yourself desiring to go consume some Reddit, just observe that desire nonjudgementally until it goes away.

Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.

I imagine there was a time when this wasn’t obscure, but I’m guessing people today don’t remember Caldera OpenLinux. That was the first Linux distro I installed/used. A guy from church gave his copy.

Caldera eventually became SCO. But I’m pretty sure I was using Caldera OpenLinux before the whole Novell patent suit thing.

What icon pack? (Is this post supposed to be a link?)

Edit: Ah. Now there’s an image.

Hammer’s jumping to conclusions. That’s clearly a self-tapping screw.

Oh shit. Don’t scare me like that. I’m in the middle of a show on Freevee through Prime Video. I was afraid it was going to become unavailable.

(Hell on wheels. Really good. 10/10 would recommend.)

This isn’t a Linux thing exactly, but I know the QMK firmware for keyboards has a feature called “mouse keys” that let you control your mouse cursor and click and scroll and such exclusively via keyboard keys.

It’s bad enough that blockchain weirdos, LLMs, and grifters like Futo have been trying to leverage the term “Open Source” in deceptive ways for one or another ulterior motive. Now sovereign citizen bullshit?

Edit: Oh. This is this user’s only post after joining 2 days ago.

Source? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from applying the solution of 3D printing to any problem, but why not just buy one of those universal suction-cup-type flag car flag pole mounts and sticking it to the hatch itself?

Or maybe get a trailer hitch installed and use one of those flag poles that connect to a trailer hitch.

Mind you, those things I’m talking about tend to be made of steel. Definitely wouldn’t want your flagpole coming off on the highway or atop a bridge and impaling someone in another vehicle.

And, I’m not sure what legal considerations there might be for this venture, so it might be best to do your research. I know in my area, if anything sticks out too far out the back of your vehicle, you’re legally required to add a red piece of cloth or something. There are probably maximum lengths you may be allowed for a flag on your car.

If you insist on a 3D printed solution:

• I imagine you’d have to design it yourself. Even if you got help from a professional CAD kind of person, I’d have to think they’d have to be able to measure and work with your car in person.
• Mount it at multiple places. Trailer hitch and have the hatch hold it in place and connect it to roof rack bars, for instance.
• Use strong materials (straps, carabiners, steel, wood) for most of it and try to avoid having the 3D-printed parts take the brunt of the weight and/or stress.
• Take into account things like gradual warping due to stress and material fatigue.
• I know I’m harping on mechanical strength, bur make it bulkier than you think it needs to be and use 100% infill.
• Test it a lot for potential failures as best yoi can before taking your car out with the flag mounted on it. Maybe try some drives with only the pole and no flag first, then with a smaller flag before moving on to the real deal. Start on back roads and move up to larger streets and then to highways. Check for any signs of stress or warping between every test.
• Be willing to give up before endangering anyone. Better to live your life with an off-the-shelf solution or no solution than to be responsible for injuring someone.
• Be willing to scale down a little. Settle for a smaller flag, maybe.
• Consider how much this will affect your own visibility as the driver.

You know. Just… be careful about the whole endeavor.

I suppose you could take it off the bed, measure very precisely the height, print just the remainder (by altering the model and re-slicing) on the bed, and glue it to what’s already printed. It would almost definitely still have a visible seam and aside from that, I can’t think of a way to save it.

He dropped out? Waaaaaat?!

(Kidding. Kidding.)

What’s worse is when that asshole tickles my sinus nerves just a little, never actually letting me sneeze, but still being an annoying piece of shit.

Brag about being an Arch user (BTW.)

The live-action web series “There Will Be Brawl” is really good. It’s got a little bit of the same energy as this comic, only grittier.

The DMCA is such bullshit. I mean, U.S. (and other WIPO countries) copyright law is bullshit in general, but it got 100 times worse when they passed the DMCA.

LLMs in medicine. What could go wrong?

Every time I see Missouri mentioned in a national news/politics forum, even before I’ve read the whole post title, I get a sense of dread. Because it’s never anything good.

~(I currently reside in Missouri.)~

I’ve got my caps lock key remapped to escape.

I use my left pinky for ctrl, shift, a, and my remapped caps lock/escape key.

I use my right pinky for shift, enter, and I’m pretty sure that’s all.

I use my ring fingers for backspace, tilde, tab, q, backslash, quote, and that probably isn’t a comprehensive list.

I use my middle finger for semicolon/colon! I never realized that before. Wild.
