If you really wanted to do it by hand, then basically perform the same actions as the washing machine: submerge the clothes in soapy water and agitate them for awhile, then submerge them in fresh water and agitate them for awhile, then wring out the water as much as possible, then hang to dry.

You can accomplish this process with a bucket, a stick, and a rope (plus soap and water). Also a lot of manual labor.

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault. <--- You are here
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, You deserved it.

A Narcissist’s Prayer

I actually get the feeling that the US stock market is being turned into a pump-and-dump scheme, not piecemeal but entire.

Oh I understand the word, it just seems like a lot of syllables.

people actually use this in conversation?

I think I saw a 2…

Enforced toxic positivity is unhealthy, yes.

It’s not the cause, it’s a symptom of a larger problem.

What would I need an “out” for?

A good forum design will only get you so far, the rest is up to the moderators. If you let bad actors in, it doesn’t matter how you designed your forum, they will poison the well and drive other people out.

Yes, well, the problem with hexbear was that it started with bad actors. As they made their true colors apparent to the lemmy community at large, they were increasingly defederated.

The best communities I’ve been in are in independent old-style forums. One of them is Tildes. Most of these don’t feature downvotes (or upvotes for that matter) and are honestly the better places to have discussions IMO.

Oh yes, my past experience is in old web forums as well. Those communities were more isolated though, they essentially existed inside their own bubbles. Unregistered users could read them, but not participate in any functional way, and typically the people that found them were looking for a community like that on purpose.

I’ve also experienced such communities becoming toxic due to the actions of individual moderators or admins, post voting not required.

Ultimately I think I agree this far - if you’re going to disable voting you should do all of it. Removing only the downvoting is the YouTube path, the authoritarian path, the toxic positivity path.

I wouldn’t imply that the unhealthyness of hexbear is due to the disabled downvoting though, and I’m sure you aren’t either, but just to be clear.

No, I’m implying the reverse: disabling downvoting is a symptom of the unhealthy mentality of the people running that server. Disabling downvoting appeals to authoritarians - that is, the type of people who are interested in silencing dissent (QED).

The only Lemmy community I’m aware of that has actually removed downvotes is hexbear - because they were tired of having their pro-Maoist rhetoric downvoted to oblivion by sane people. Hexbear is not a healthy place.

Enforced toxic positivity does not produce better conversations or better communities. It basically just turns a discussion forum into Disneyland, where everyone is happy all the time, because there’s no other option. It’s the kind of yes-man thinking you get in corporate meetings that produce really bad ideas because “don’t be negative! there are no bad ideas here!”

Um, do you have some contrary evidence to present? Or is your position just “US bad”?

He’ll probably feel right at home in Klantee.

How about some of that personal responsibility we’ve heard so much about from the right?

What if I want to cut my spaghetti?

My guess is mechanical stress during the print.

Think of your print object as a lever. The attachment to the print bed is the fulcrum. The taller the object gets, the longer the lever arm and the more potential for movement, especially while the plastic is still warm and soft.

On the other end of the lever is the nozzle spitting out melted plastic. The melted plastic is sticky (PETG in particular is kind of like chewing gum at print temperature). As the nozzle moves across the printed surface, the sticky plastic pulls on the previous layer, exerting a lateral force (you can watch this happen during the print, it’s most obvious with tall thin parts). If there isn’t enough contact area between the topmost layer and the one below it (which in your case it appears those parts of the hexagons have very little contact with the layer below) then the top layer can be ripped off.

Basically the individual limbs of the hexagons are too thin, and the angles are too steep. As the print gets taller the whole thing will flex more, making failures more likely near the top.

This is expected, planned for, anticipated and even desired by the people pulling the strings. Violent resistance will be used to justify mass murder in response.

I’ve got a USB SSD that I can’t use, because I need to “unlock” it in a windows device first. I can’t even re-partition it in linux.

Is this Bitlocker FDE? Have you tried using Dislocker?

If that doesn’t work, I recommend building a gparted live USB. Once you’re up and the SSD is visible, create a new partition table

Complete this step with no other changes. This shouldn’t care if the partitions on the disk or encrypted, it will reset the partition table which will make the disk appear blank, as if it was never formatted. You should then be able to create any new partitions you want in the available space.

! THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE !

But if you couldn’t access the encrypted partition then the data was effectively destroyed already.

AI coding tools can do common, simple functions reasonably well, because there are lots of examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a large corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can’t do sophisticated, specific-case solutions very well, because there aren’t many examples of those for any given use case to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a small corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can’t solve new problems at all, because there are no examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is no corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools have already ingested all of the code available on the Internet to train with. There is no more new data to feed in. AI coding tools will not get substantially better than they are now. All of the theft that could be committed has been committed, which is why the AI development companies are attempting to feed generated training material into their models. Every review of this shows that it makes the output from generative models worse rather than better.

Programming is not about writing code. That is what a manager thinks.
Programming is about solving problems. Generative AI doesn’t think, so it cannot solve problems. All it can do is regurgitate material that it has previously ingested which is hopefully close-ish to the problem you’re trying to solve at the moment - material which was written by a real thinking human that solved that problem (or a similar one) at some point in the past.

If you patronize a generative AI system like Claude Code, you are paying into, participating in, and complicit in, the largest example of labor theft in history.

Everything old is new again.
