What other people see is their problem. Plenty of people don’t mind or prefer sans-serif. Ensuring your designs look the same on everyone’s machine has been a problem since the dawn of the Internet, and you aren’t going to solve it by replacing 'I’s with a special character. Worse still, if a user’s font don’t doesn’t include that character, they’ll end up with an ugly ‘�’ or something similar.

You need to decide where you lie on the control vs flexibility spectrum, because currently you want it both ways. You either make static images of text formatted exactly how you want (and adding alt text!!), or you let users view the text as they wish.

I find it really strange how you’ve been confronted with locked down text from Samsung, and your first instinct is to try to inflict that same thing on others.

I think it might be easier to use a serif font. Where are you trying to make this change? At the browser level? OS? Or somewhere else? You should be able to make that change, but the specific configuration will vary.

Dedicated single purpose machines. It’s nice to have a device that doesn’t include all of the usual distractions. For example, I have an old iPhone that only has the PBS Kids app and some pre-approved shows downloaded. Everything else has been removed, so I feel a little bit better about hanging it to a child on road trips and the like. Another old laptop has been covered into a Step Mania machine.

The biggest chilling effect I noticed, even as a developer who refuses to use AI, is that I feel like I can no longer ask my co-workers for advice. When I do, I get the the AI equivalent of “let me Google that for you, was that so hard?” So even without using it, I feel cut off from the normal places I would use to learn and improve my coding skills.

If things are working for you without glue, there’s no need to mess with it. Personally, I like having an extra barrier between my model and build plate to make removal easier, plus I’m paranoid about damaging the plate. What was the reasoning for never using glue stick?

When I see first layer issues like this, my go to steps are:

1. Wash the build plate with hot water and soap to remove any built up glue, dry, and reapply a thin layer of glue stick
2. Turn the initial layer speed way down, like 10mm/sec, and 20mm/sec for infill.

You can do it! I’m rooting for you!

I did this one not too long ago! One thing that helped was recognizing that there’s no “roar” delay like when the first one shows up. You can just attacking as they fall down from the ceiling. Second was trying to optimize for damage to take one out asap, and reduce the amount of time you need to dodge both of them simultaneously. For me that looked like Barbed Bracelet, Flintsteel, and Beast Crest. Good luck!

Secrets stay safe in spite of people knowing them, not the other way around. It’s like saying, “More holes make the ship more boyant”

That’s awesome! I’m glad work is already being done to allow for alternate launchers. I stick to just Steam, so I haven’t even used Lutris up until now and I was surprised how much it’s baked in to the OS. Trying to uninstall it just leads to its flatpak entry in the Discovery store, where it appears to be not installed. That looked like buggy behavior, and it took some research to learn what was actually going on.

I’m over here on Bazzite learning that I literally can’t uninstall it without switching to a different OS. :/

Yup! Replace the word “fork” with “branch” and that basically matches the workflow. Forking implies you are copying the code in its current state and going off to do your own thing, never to return (but maybe grabbing updates from time to time).

One would hope that the users submitting these PRs vetted to LLM’s output before submitting, but instead all of that work is getting shifted onto the maintainers.

The graphics have not aged well. If you want to stay close to the original experience though, there are numerous mods that swap the field models for the ones used in battle.

Agreed. The OP makes it sound like you should only take advice from successful people, but successful people might just be lucky. We should also be careful to not take investment advice from lottery winners.

I think all that would get you is a one finger raise.

I read at the same speed that the words would be spoken aloud. My SO tells me this is quite slow. I can force myself to read faster, but I find that the color of language is lost when I don’t include the right pauses and intonations.

Rocket Knight Adventures - A mascot action/platformer featuring an opossum knight with a jetpack. The artwork and soundtrack are gorgeous, and the rocket charge attacks feel awesome. The bosses are all extremely creative and often have multiple stages, including, an evil train, a water snake that you fight while jumping between the foreground and background, a giant crab, a gradius style spaceship battle, and an epic rock-em-sock-em robot battle in giant mechs.

I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be “superior” to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.

I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that’s up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn’t a factor.

This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.

This is one of those times where seeing it all written out feels redundant, but you know if those examples weren’t there people would be asking if one book cost £0.5.
