Update: Yes! Seems to be. Calipers confirm the diameter. TYVM!

Thanks. I’ll grab my calipers and confirm if the measurements are correct. Specs say MHF4 is 1.13mm.

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

• “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • Where “part of the solution” means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
• “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
• “We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted”
• etc

To be fair, #32 is just me.

I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for…reasons?

My personal “sweet spot” is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn’t sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between “thin” and “removable battery”, I’d take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I’d also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

Agh. Beat me to it. 😆

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there’s the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…

Paper Dolls in English

1 is “Gladiator”

4 is “Black Swan”

9 is “Office Space”

10 is “Harry Potter” (which I’ve actually never seen, but I do recognize Delores Umbridge from other memes)

“Wear a human suit to hide your weird real self”

I’ve heard that before but cannot place it. What is that from?

For best results, it depends on the context.

For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.

Nice, and yeah, definitely. Until my senior year English class, the only books were were allowed to use for any reading assignment were Shakespeare or Newberry award books.

Seriously, this. I can’t stand to read “the classics” but I love reading things that interest me. Would be nice of schools recognized that and encouraged reading just for the sake of it rather than forcing kids to trudge through endless stanzas of “ye art incorrect and thou must protest this injustice. Oh Horatio!”. Let kids do book reports on Harry Potter (or whatever’s cool these days). At least they’re reading and their brain cells are firing.

Provided it’s got a decent narrator, audiobooks are like literal bedtime stories, and a lot of players have “sleep mode” that will either set a timer or stop it after the current chapter. Seems like an easy way to get people into them, IMO.

I have two of Stephen Fry’s autobiographies on audiobook and would basically let his smooth voice lull me to sleep. 😆

I think I’m just gonna get some Pi Zeros + cameras and just roll my own. Probably use the NoIR versions and some cheap IR illuminators. Feed those into Zoneminder.

Bonus points if I can find some old CCTV cameras, gut them, and fit the pi camera to those optics.

Commenting so I can remember to check back for any suggestions. I’ve basically run into this problem:

Like another commenter said, polarization and cemented, frequently extreme, views. You’re not going to change their mind on anything, but they’re constantly trying to change your mind on everything. I consider them shills and hit that block button.

I also block people who are here “on a mission” for whatever cause. Social media has enough activists, and even if I agree with them, I’m still thinking “will you shut up, man?”.

I also block people who intentionally take others out of context as an excuse to attack them or inject drama into every interaction. There’s plenty of that to go around, and thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of blocks I can issue.

Basically, I’m not here for drama or activism or circle-jerking any political cause or to suffer immature edgelords. I just wanna talk about cool stuff with rational people. Blocking helps separate the wheat from the chaff in that regard. Anyone who has a pattern of making this place unenjoyable gets blocked

I’m happy he’s not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an “ends justify the means” kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there’s more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone’s knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy’s stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.
