  • Denver isn’t great with public transport either. There’s at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that’s the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you’re looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that’s really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there’s not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

    It’s a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it’s pretty rough to use as a primary transport.


  • Classic case of know your audience. I don’t think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn’t mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren’t for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy’s posts.


  • I don’t know if this explanation will help because words. Using the photo plane as reference:

    Two tools, a flat head screw driver wider than the vertical gap where the hook is, and a needle nose pliers. The screwdriver is going to be used to try to rotate the hook to the bottom left to clear the horizontal metal band, while squeezing the two bars midway to help bring the hook tip past the horizontal bar








  • Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It’s been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it’s similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it’s been stable

    Plus I get to say I’m running my 3d printer on a potato




  • Ok, I don’t know why I’m even bothering, but here’s why I think this is nothing more than conjecture at best and probably just outright dishonest manipulation.

    1. OP’s link cites directly the eo announcement, that’s where I found the link it. The announcement says literally nothing about scanning your photos and documents. It’s about making sure aps aren’t sharing your shit in the background. That ai generators aren’t marketing it for creating revenge/child porn, aren’t monetizing it if they do, protecting your photos and docs from being stolen and disseminated without permission. Not one thing indicates it’s about scanning what shit you have on your phone.

    2. OP’s link, links to another blog/opinion piece that seems to be the source of the “scanning photos for bad content” junk that I’m claiming has no logical source and is made up bs to rile up the already haters

    President Biden wants to probe everyone’s smartphones as part of a sweeping surveillance effort.

    From which I quote

    This proposal implies that mobile operating systems would need to scan and analyze images directly on users’ devices to determine if they are sexual or non-consensual.

    There’s no linked document evidence of what the op or either of the 2 level deep op-eds are claiming. There is no source beyond the above quote claiming it’s implied. It’s literally made up. The linked eo announcement says nothing about scanning your phone for what types of content/documents you have… I read nothing anywhere that implies this.

    I don’t want shit scanning my phone. I think we all agree that’s definitely a long way over the line. I see nothing that indicates that’s what this is even remotely close to doing. So why is it being shared and claimed that it is?



  • I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

    Why can’t we just ask, “would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?” Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there’s actually a reason to move to it or if it’s just more marketing and dick waving points.

    It feels like asking if anyone “needs” it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.
