You monster.

I've got a better idea... What if all mathematical calculations were done by chatgpt

Ye the explanation I presented is something I say to simple minded people as a way for me to tell them that the act of wanting privacy isn't criminal, and that it is wayyy creepier when some stranger is trying to actively breach said privacy.

I want to belive that this entire breach of privacy thing will form a sort of bubble that'll burst and people will wake up and realize that "hey this is kinda creepy", but this does seem to trend towards a dystopian cyberpunk future

I usually shut those "I have nothing to hide" arguments by asking the person what's more creepy: you closing your curtains trying to get privacy, or your neighbor trying to peek in, asking you "why do you need curtains? You've got nothing to hide right?"

That usually gets the point across...

I have probably 2 or 3 stuck for movies, and thousands stuck for music. Radarr and lidarr adds them automatically, and after many months, they do actually finish downloading

It's probably because homedepot doesn't respect gdpr, so they block European ip's to not get sued. I've experienced that a lot when visiting some American websites

 

Hey y'all, I've been having issues with gaps forming between the outer layers of the print walls, and I'm not sure how to fix that. I thought it might be because of a clogged extruder, but the issue didn't get fixed when I cleaned it. I tried adjusting the E-steps, but smaller values caused blobs of filament to form on the outer walls likely because lower values overextruded the filament. Apart from the weird top layer and walls, the prints turn out perfectly fine, so it might be a slicer related issue. The printer is an Ender 3 pro with a bltouch sensor and upgraded marlin board + octoprint.

Here are some pictures of the issue, and a screenshot of the slicer settings:

Any help is greatly appreciated :3

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3

 

This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.

I've tried posting an h264 mp4 file from a webserver i own, and I noticed that most clients fail to load or outright crash when trying to open the post. Some give an "invalid MIME type" error even though "video/mp4" is a valid one. Posting the link as a hyperlink works, but then you don't get a preview. So what's the best way to share video on lemmy? Is it youtube/imgur or am I doing something wrong?

 

I've seen these all over Europe. Some have simple images of the cross flashing, some have windows screensaver esque animations, and some have 3d renders of various things rotating in all sorts of ways. Why is that? Wouldn't a simple green cross be enough to get the point across, or do they need to be overly verbose? Here's the full video instead of a gif

Link to the site

The map contains exact locations of homocides from the 2000s to now. You can zoom in far enough to see the neighborhood the murder(s) happened in. I'm sorry that the site is primarily in Norwegian, but you should still be able to zoom around. Wonder of there's a global map that's that detailed.
