  • I gave you an upvote.

    I could see a case for using “working person” instead of “worker.” It’s definitely not the sort of thing that’s agreed to be exploitative language (yet?) though.

    What I do for sure bristle at a lot more is referring to people as “resources.” Like, when planning a project, discussing how many “resources” can be “put on the project”. Definitely feels dehumanizing.


  • Saying this as nicely as I can, you’re well out of touch with consensus reality in a way that caused unwanted disruption in the technology community. The mods took action (specifically the action of banning you) to maintain a harassment-free environment.

    And no, you don’t have any sort of sixth sense about porn addiction. Do you need help?


  • You were pushing porn addiction propaganda on people who said nothing about being addicted to anything in particular, let alone porn.

    You used to be able to say pretty much whatever you wanted on Lemmy.

    • I sense an implicit “and not be banned for it” in your statement
    • it’s not true
    • I doubt it’s been true literally anywhere ever, particularly online
    • had it been true here, it wouldn’t have been a good thing







  • I never would have thought to print them at an angle like that, but thinking it through, I bet relative to other obvious-ish options, it a) improved part strength (particularly along the axes where you most need strength), b) saved a bit of material, c) improved bed adhesion. Smart move in general. I’ll have to keep that approach in mind for my own prints.


  • I haven’t watched the video yet, but just because it’s relevant to the topic…

    I used to stream to Twitch with just ffmpeg. No OBS or anything.

    I mostly did speedruns, and I needed a timer, so I wrote my own. I had ffmpeg read the current time to display from a file in /tmp/ and had a Go program that would write to that file at the same rate as the framerate at which I was streaming. Worked really well, actually.

    I also made some videos (mostly tutorials for pulling off certain glitches in The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild) and put them on YouTube. I edited those entirely with ffmpeg and a pretty simple Bash script.

    I’m definitely not going to claim they were what you might generally recognize as “well-edited” videos, but they did the job. And I definitely wasn’t really looking to “make it big” on YouTube or anything, so I wasn’t looking to polish my videos.

    Here is one of my videos for reference. And here is a clip of a VOD from one of my streams that demonstrates the timer I mentioned.
