No Man's Sky: Orbital Update
  • Has anyone tried a derelict freighter since the update? I just got a star ship engine core instead of a freighter upgrade module :\

  • California Judge Says Because Snapchat Has Disappearing Messages, Section 230 Doesn’t Apply To Lawsuits Over Snapchat Content
  • I'm guessing this judge considers the telephone to be an example of negligent design as well. After all, the phone company doesn't record every phone call I make and disconnect me if I mention an illegal drug.

  • One month ago, I didn't really know what 3D printing was. Yesterday, I designed in FreeCAD my first model and printed it. What an amazing experience.
  • Before you go through a bunch of calibration, I'd see if it happens with a different filament. Those black particles there are likely something with a higher melting point than the surrounding PLA, otherwise they'd "smear" during printing. I'm betting you're hitting some intermittent clogs. See if the problem happens with a single color filament.

  • Work-around for the federation bug found in 0.19.0 and 0.19.1
  • I like to do things just off the top of the hour, since top of the hour is when many maintenance crons run. If you're running a modern cron daemon, you can rewrite that as:

    3 1-23/6 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1

  • What is the point of dbus?
  • Doesn't systemd have the ability to do this as well with unix sockets?

  • Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?
  • I don't recommend using the shell on routers for day-to-day management. Instead, consider using a network configuration management system like rconfig. I've used RANCID in the past, but I suspect something more modern like rconfig will be useful to you.

  • New 20mph limit in urban areas in Wales
  • My city recently did 15mph for neighborhood residential roads and 20mph for the wider through roads connecting to them. I feel much safer now when walking and biking in the neighborhood. The roads here were never intended for cars to be parked up and down both sides.

  • Man accidentally shot child while officiating wedding near Lincoln, deputy says
  • I hate to argue against you because I agree that nobody needs a hundred round clip or full auto for an intruder, but the forefathers' intended right wasn't "people should have muskets". It was much closer to "the people should be armed in case of tyrrany by their government". The intention was for people to defend their other rights by force, making it more difficult for the government (or an invading force) to take over (this was immediately post-revolution mind you and much of the bill of rights was in direct response to british soldiers' activities). Of course they also thought we'd be reforming the government and drafting new constitutions as the culture changed, but of course that never happened.

    I am not a historian, just a pedant.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • Non-human entity, please return to your home planet. We don't want you here.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • The "prankster" was kicked out by security the day before and was actively avoiding areas with security on the day of the event. It's unreasonable to expect someone being attacked not to defend themselves. It's victim blaming to even imply the shooter did anything wrong here.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • You're not a reasonable person though, a reasonable person would be afraid of someone approaching babbling incoherently, would back off and tell them to get away, then react with a fight or flight response if they continued to advance. That's what someone relying on their ability to reason things out would do. That's what this guy did. He had a gun, the attacker wouldn't stop advancing when he retreated. He shot. Self defense.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're unaware of violent crime that does not involve guns? Lets put the gun aside for a moment and analyze whether or not the guy felt afraid. If someone walks up to you in the manner this guy did, you get afraid. It's WHAT THE PERPETRATOR WANTED THE GUY TO DO! He even said that he kept approaching because the guy wasn't reacting the way he wanted. He was escalating the threat to get a reaction. If the guy didn't have a gun he would have swung instead of shooting when backing away clearly wasn't working. Fight or Flight is called a "reaction" for a reason. It's not a fully conscious process. This "prankster" only did what he did because he was so large and intimidating that he knew he didn't have to fear physical reprisal for his obvious assaults.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • Holy crap, are you a social media "prankster" or something? I don't know how you can feel so vehemently the wrong way about something unless you're actually doing it.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • Your very own quote applies here, the guy kept approaching a fleeing individual, that's a "reasonable apprehension of imminent injury or offensive contact". Someone much bigger than you running you down is not "safe".

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • Well, I guess you aren't a reasonable person.

  • YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
  • This isn't just "someone annoying him", the harasser is a 6'5" dude who walked up to within inches of the shooter, then when the shooter told him to get back and started backing away himself, continued to close the distance. This is open and shut self defense, you don't get to hunt someone down like that, staying in their personal space, and expect them to not feel threatened. YOU would feel threatened and if you're telling me otherwise, I have a friend named Billy Bob who'd like to stand silently in your personal space for the remainder of the year.

  • The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale.
  • Factory battery was probably charged to a normal level and would've paired fine when opened if it'd been powered off. It was left powered on from the factory, which is not how it should've arrived. My experience is a valid criticism of a just-released rechargeable device and a QA issue. Where do you get off acting like I don't know how consumer electronics work because I'm criticizing bad QA?

  • The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale.
  • I just got mine too. Nice and klacky. Mine arrived on in 2.4GHz mode, so I had trouble with pairing until I charged it. Works great now though.

  • Let's discuss Eversion by Alastair Reynolds
  • Loved it too. It's been a year or so but I feel like this was a two day read for me. I couldn't put it down.

  • OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series
  • I think you're putting too much faith in humans here. As best we can tell the only difference between how we compute and what these models do is scale and complexity. Your brain often lies to you and makes up reasoning behind your actions after the fact. We're just complex networks doing math.

    Chrome extension to add a "search" link when browsing logged out Lemmy instances

    I've been annoyed by the "copy [email protected] to your instance's search" aspect of joining new communities. To make this more streamlined I created this extension to add a "Search on [myhomeinstance]" button on community pages. It's currently submitted for approval in the chrome web store, which could take a few days, but you should be able to install it as an unpacked extension in developer mode today. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

    Is there a "home instance" browser extension?

    When visiting a new lemmy instance to find communities, you have to copy the !community@server link from the description to your instance's search bar. If a chrome/firefox extension could detect that a lemmy instance is loaded and automatically add "Subscribe on [homeinstance.url]" buttons where the normal subscribe button would be, I think it'd go a long way toward making the "Fediverse" easy for new users. Apologies if this exists and I just couldn't find it.
