Most Mastodon groups are about Mastodon, Fediverse and the drama accompanying both.

Not really. He’s 14, not a kid. Just explain to him that would not make you feel comfortable to be around them. Don’t make an idiot out of yourself, that sets a really bad example for the son.

No. Others have already said why, I’m just adding my vote.

Congrats! There’s no feeling like leaving your abusive family behind.

Well, there goes the Fediverse.

Eh… I’d be wary of small insurance companies. Sometimes they don’t like to pay. Or at least not as fast.

Just curious, what’s in the torrents?

Anyway, leaving your jobs to have time for your side project is exactly how we get another core.js story. Read that dude’s story.

I mean, OpenSCAD has primitives which you use to create your own shapes. It does have chamfers, if you add a module for that. Or download someone else’s code.

I prefer parametric SCAD models. Maybe because I’m more of a developer than a designer.

SCAD allows for really cool things like I did with a parametric calendar model - you just input the year and it automatically calculates the first day of the year using a clever algorithm. It also works with leap years automatically, which is less cool but still very convenient.

I usually have good answers with only minimal bullshit when it comes to coding. If not, it at least points me in the right direction.

Sure, that’s why a good service doesn’t create an environment which supports people being dicks. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what SO does with the way it works.

Perhaps it’s because football is the biggest sport internationally, but football attract the worst kind of fans.

Honestly, you already have the image locally if you’ve pulled it.

I guess not everyone treats their PC as an ephemeral storage, huh? I don’t trust anything that’s available only locally to survive.

Once again proving that football fans are the lowest form of organism on this planet.

I don’t remember exactly how, but I did the same thing for my streaming gaming laptop. I had to put my unencrypted password in the registry somewhere, but it’s been a few years, I don’t remember where I put it. But perhaps this piece of information will help.

Yeah, I’ve thought about that as well. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna miss Stack Overflow specifically. Perhaps something better replaces it when AI gets poisoned by its own output too much.

I’ve been on SO like ten times altogether since ChatGPT came out. It’s so much nicer than the condescending pricks of Stack Overflow. My favourite is when some genius links a question as a duplicate of something that’s vaguely similar.

Don’t start smoking.

10 or so minutes once, I came there at the busiest time. Czechia.

Ever heard of open source models? Stable Diffusion was good before they decided to become irrelevant by not open sourcing their models anymore. But the old models (and derivatives of them) are still there.

From the newer ones there’s Flux.

And if you want more power to the people, feel free to join AI Horde (for example through HordeNG), a cluster of people hosting AI workers for others, so that everyone has free access to open source text and image generation, regardless of their social status.
