Well, a human being talking random shit won the last presidential election. So why not an AI at this point?

The triangular blades come with two straight edges and one angled, serrated edges. The two straight edges work equally well front and back. The serrated edge only work as intended, like a chisel.

In fairness, there is one valid reason why the company would have chosen to make it impossible to reverse the blade: to avoid support calls and warranty claims from people trying to use the serrated edge the wrong way around.

Because if you think about it, they went out of their way to make the socket one-way: it would actually be cheaper to manufacture the notch on both sides than the way they made it on one side only. So they really did intend to ensure the blade can only be mounted one way.

But here’s the thing: you have to be really, REALLY dumb to use the serrated edge in reverse and not realize it. It’s completely obvious that the tool isn’t working right, and there’s something sharp sticking up instead of down on the glass. So I don’t buy the idiot-proof anti-warranty-claims argument: I’m totally certain it is done to limit the life of the blades.

Although mind you, it’s rather academic: when an edge is spent, I simply sharpen it with a fine belt on the belt sander and it’s good for another few months anyway 🙂 But of course, you need a belt sander if you want to do that.

Maybe they should replace it with Google’s former pledge “Don’t be evil”: it’s free for the taking, nobody’s using it at the moment.

Awesome! I didn’t know. I’m gonna try it now. Thanks!

Oh wow interesting. Thanks!

…for the desktop.

Newpipe and Grayjay are still going strong on Android.

Fixed.

There has been so many of them, to be honest I picked the first one I found 🙂

You know you can say “Chinese troll” without hating anybody, yes?

As in “the person is a troll” and “the person is Chinese”. No hate anywhere: it’s just two facts that happen to go together quite well because China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.

You need to stop thinking everything in terms of how racist it sounds.

Thank you. That was informative. I didn’t know.

Instead of whining like a 5 year old, why doesn’t he use his obscene wealth to pay an army of Chinese internet trolls to rewrite Wikipedia to his liking? I bet Wikipedia and the regular contributors wouldn’t even have the resources to withstand the assault and correct the untruths faster than they’d be created.

When then announced they’d be selling content for AI training, I went back to my old abandoned Reddit accounts and slightly altered all of my previous posts with actual content to be factually incorrect and misleading in subtle ways. It took me two months to rewrite everything, a few old posts at a time per day.

Now whatever technical or historical stuff I posted on Reddit is false and AI is training on that.

Aren’t you glad you did the work and gave Reddit the content it monetizes for free?

It just brings their BS policy in line with reality. Don’t think for a second that they removed their statement to feel free to use AI for military purposes: they’re already doing that now.

I’m pretty sure TSMC has the means to hurt the US more than Trump realizes.

I’m fine with it, just like I was fine with the Windows key: I could use an extra modifier in i3 / Sway and it’s easy to change the keycap, grind it blank with a Dremel wheel or tape it over if Microsoft makes you sick.

I’m not quite sure what “Linux rolls out the welcome mat” means though: it’s just an extra key. Linux / Xorg / Wayland already support keyboards.

Sell it! You’d be one of the very few who got anything of value out of Reddit.

Now that Trump’s USA scores almost as low as China on the democracy scale, I guess TikTok isn’t an existential threat to the nation anymore.

I’m a billionnaire too - in dongs - but nobody forks my repos…
But most of my repos have more stars and more watchers than this one.

I use Github for 4 reasons:

• Everybody else is on Github. Github is to repo hosting what Youtube is to video hosting. It’s sad but that’s how it is in this world of unchecked, extreme big tech monopolization. So I put my stuff up there because it’s just simpler to be found.
• I use Github as a dumb git repo. I don’t use any of the extra social media garbage Microsoft tacked onto it. So I get free hosting and Microsoft pretty much gets no data on me - i.e. I’m a net loss to them.
• You can use dumb repos as PPA and RPM sources, if you need to distribute Debian or Redhat packages. Microsoft never intented for repos to be used this way, but if I can abuse Microsoft services, I will six ways to Sunday.
• Github lets you drop videos in your README.md. But here’s a trick: you can use the links to the video files anywhere. In other words, you can use Github to host videos that you can post on other forums - including here on Lemmy, or on Reddit if you’re still patronizing that cesspit for some reason. I find this a nice way to abuse Microsoft’s resources also, and I’m all for abusing Microsoft’s resources.

TL;DR: I use Github not only because it’s the most prevalent git hosting service out there, but because I can abuse it and make Microsoft pay for the abuse without getting anything of value from me in return.

Free software (not open-source, it’s really free software that’s important) that depends on a single for-profit vendor is not free.

MicroG is open-source but it’s not free. It fails to address two problems:

• What do I care looking at the source code of a Google Play Services replacement when Google still holds my cellphone by the balls for certain critical functions?
• Why do I need permission from Google for apps to function properly on my cellphone?

I don’t think OP cares about getting the source of the apps they run so much as the apps being free-as-in-libre in his original question. Many people mistake open-source for free software and MicroG is not truly free.
