- Comment on I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore! *continues to take it* 1 day ago:
Fun fact: Maybe he’s not mad? I bet you read that meme as a male speaking, too.
It’s been shown in studies that due to “be tough” mentalities, boys do not learn the appropriate associations to vacabulary when expressing their feelings, and thus fall back to describing anger at older ages, even if what they are experiencing is something else.
This study hits on this some, I can’t find the better one: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4469291/

No, concede is to admit defeat, cede is to give up something. You could concede the battle, and as a result cede land to the victor. I meant cede.

Nah, the lack of context is better 😆 I’ve hiked a mountain here called Potash, think I’ll do it again after this.
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 5 days ago:
In strict definition, true, but to those in the US cede has the connotation of giving up something after a lost battle. Just the way we’re taught.
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 5 days ago:
Please update the title to the full title of the article. This is super misleading and makes it sound like the founder doesn’t want this.

Up voted… But. Pointing out the absurdity is valuable for new users.

I have been enlightened, thank you.

Yeaaaa… So it is about the poster? The person posted it, then cross posted it right after.
- Comment on Can I pay someone to add a specific feature to an open source app? 1 week ago:
Agree, but before any one else takes the time:
github.com/search?q=repo%3Ajarnedemeulemeester%2F…
Function is already in place,just TODO, and a 30 second code scan shows clean, standard code base. Anyone who’s worked on Android could probably do this in a few hours including set up time.
$20 is still nowhere close, though. Feature donation is def the way to go.

I’m so confused. I thought it was a comment on the cross post?
- Comment on UUGGHHHH pick a lane ! 1 week ago:
This post is about the poster, not the content 😉

I with you. Love Bazzite in the living room, but no way would it be my daily driver.
- Comment on I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost 1 week ago:
Maybe give nowsci.com/only-sensor a shot? I built the guides/schematics/models for ESPHome devices as a learning experience for myself.
@SkyNTP@lemmy.ml I felt the same way. Now I just keep making new things for it, currently on garage door opener, blinds opener, and may even automate turning on my DIY solder fume extractor.
- Comment on I need a flicker free LED lightbulb running in the 3000 K range. 2 weeks ago:
The Sengled ZigBee RGB or white bulbs work well for me and have tunable white LEDs. They seem to have a good DC/AC conversion. But they do require ZigBee.

From the other comment,it sounds like it’s working out, just not for the Dad.
- Comment on There was a time when everyone had common sense 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think any generation is “smarter” than the last at any given age.
I think each generation is less “ignorant” because they are more “informed” by the learnings and failures of the generations before.
I also think people stop adapting as they age, and intellect declines medically, leading to the impression that the younger are “smarter”.

This is one of those things, 10 years later, a friend will say randomly in a bar. Everyone will look at them, and they’ll just chuckle and smile.

I’m leaning towards a thought experiment bot at this point.

Streaming digital, and owning digital, are two different things.
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 3 weeks ago:
My mispeak there was voltage.
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 3 weeks ago:
These changes are not linear with extension cords, as the gauge variance is less than changes in length. 100% longer doesn’t mean 100% thicker. Also the heat does not just occur in the wire. Whatever is at the end of that cord has to work harder due to the voltage drop, and harder means hotter.
- Comment on Y'all get those "Weird Amazon Shenanigans" where ordering later get you an even faster delivery? (like wtf?!?) Well I just witnessed this shenanigan. 3 weeks ago:
It can also be different seller stock. If the seller isn’t amazon, their inventory could have arrived at a different warehouse after your order.
If it’s amazon specific, it could also be the close warehouse had no stock at order time, so yours is coming from farther away, but then stock arrived at the local warehouse (I.E. just timing not demand).
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 3 weeks ago:
Current and Voltage don’t change, but resistance does (between cable types)?
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 3 weeks ago:
The longer the cable, the thicker it needs to be to carry the same amount of current without getting hot. This is due to resistance (Wikipedia does a good job with the details). Basically:
20’ cable be long and thick.
10’ cable be short and thin.
10’ + 10’ cables be long and thin.
Long and thin = heat then fire.
That being said, put an LED light bulb at the end, no problem. Put a gaming PC on the end, problem.

We used Fluent at a previous job. My recco? Don’t use fluent.
I feel like the team ended up having to work around it for anything with any amount of complexity.
