- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 hours ago:
They are conflating trans healthcare for children with pedophilia.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 2 days ago:
As someone who can’t code (not a developer) but occasionally needs to dip my toes in it. I’ve learned quite a bit from using chatgpt and then picking apart whatever it shat out to figure out why it’s not working. It’s still better than me starting from scratch on whatever it is I’m working on because usually I don’t even know where to begin.
- Comment on Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory 2 days ago:
Just upgraded mine. As far as I can tell it works exactly the same as before except there is now a “Hub” web portal and admin console you can use to give out access to your projects. Reading the documentation they said it would break existing shares. It prompted me that it would ask additional questions during the set up depending on what I was doing but I didn’t have any previous shares and did not get any additional questions. I would assume the 30 day grace period is to plan for this so you can get any shared documents straightened out afterwards. After the update it prompted me to “set up how I use fusion” by picking a module and then if I wanted it to start with a blank document or a previous document or a demo. That was annoying but didn’t reappear after I re-launched the app. All in all I don’t think this is that much of a concern. Looking at the web admin page the options it gives seem like they would be useful for someone sharing projects.

Yeah, it’s always a good idea to be on your toes with these things.
- Comment on Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory 3 days ago:
From reading it the reason seems to be to allow people who are currently sharing projects to coordinate the move so everyone retains their access. It didn’t seem fishy to me.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 3 days ago:
I’m pissed off. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about it. If there’s a protest near me I’ll join it. If I see somebody getting fucked with by a Nazi I’ll step in but I have responsibilities and a job and can’t really afford to travel. So until shit really kicks off I’m kind of stuck in this state where I can’t do anything.

Me when I had to deny pto requests because the person who did our scheduling was a moron : " I can’t schedule your PTO for that but if you call out its only one point against your attendance even if you miss multiple days… soo do with at information what you will"
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Already covered that. Having the features I asked for doesn’t preclude either of those.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Edit: I mean so the market does exist yes, but it seems to be filled by things like MP4 players (running Android) and old iPods with flash mods
Only because there isn’t a phone to offer the required functionality. (Unless you keep your last good option as long as possible like I’m doing, which has it’s own drawbacks). As I said before these features already existed and they removed them from new models for anti-consumer reasons. Not because there isn’t a market. It’s not like new phones got cheaper or had new features added when they took the other stuff out. They did it to sell more wireless headphones, make it harder to replace work batteries, and lock us all into their streaming and cloud services. The market isn’t served because they don’t want to serve it. They want the market to serve them.

I have an LG V20. It has all the features I asked for and then some and was made 8 years ago. It’s 6-7mm thick. The market exists. It’s just not the largest segment so they don’t care.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
Because I’ve seen what people do with their vehicles. I bought my car new 13 years ago and I’ve been able to make sure it’s been properly maintained the entire time and no one else’s crud is all over the interior. I intend to keep it until it falls apart. Prior to that I had a truck I bought used and got maybe 5 years out of it before the transmission died with only medium mileage. I had maintained it but who knows what the person before me did with it.
That said if nothing changes with all this touchscreen infotainment shit I don’t know what I’ll do. I’ve hated every new vehicle I’ve been in the last few years.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Truth of it all is that most people want tinner phones and/or wireless earbuds/headsets and the people who do not are for a big part audiophiles who want better audio quality than a phone is going to offer. So there is only a relatively small section of users who prefer the audio jack.
I think the real truth is most people just take whatever the phone corporations shovel down their throats without thinking too much about it as long as they have the newest model. Phones have been thin enough for years now. They’ve hit the point where they can’t make the camera as thin as the rest of the phone so it sticks out and won’t sit flat. It’s ridiculous. It’s not like they’ve replaced the features we lost with new better technology anyway. There’s no reason customer focused reason to remove those features. They did it to sell more shit and make their devices less repairable. Expecting people to carry two or more devices when one could do everything is asinine. Also my phone has a Hi-fi DAC and gives fantastic audio quality through the headphone jack.

A couple weeks ago the temperature bounced and my sinuses decided the only solution was to drain all the liquid in my body out through my nose for for days.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
It’s not a backup. Neither is a camera or MP4 player (which also can’t play games or display books/comics, so I’d be up to 4 devices to have all my media covered). It’s a way of keeping my media available while I am on the go with or without a internet connection. It’s by far the simplest solution and allows me to do everything on my phone.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Personally I say that most would need to get a NAS before they need a SD card or you need to get a dedicated Camera or MP4 player if your pictures or music exceed the 500GB max and streaming isn;t an option using a NAS.
Yeah spending 100s of dollars on whole other devices you have to carry around instead of like 10 for an SD card makes a ton of sense.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
No headphone jack on those unless I missed something.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
I would categorize that as having to fuck around with permission bullshit but thank you for the suggestion.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
I wish I could get a flagship phone with a swappable battery, headphone jack, SD slot and allow my apps to interface with each other’s files when I want without having to fuck around with permission bullshit… I don’t care if it’s the size of a dinner plate

Yeah that’s a good point and something I follow as well but didn’t think about earlier. If you don’t have it around you can’t eat it.

I’m 5’3 and a hair under 130 and don’t have a beer gut. I don’t know how accurate is but my scale says I’m around 15-16% body fat. I lift weights but I can’t imagine I have more muscle mass than someone working as a mechanic and cycling. OPs numbers don’t add up to me either.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 1 week ago:
No. You need to adjust your diet and cut you caloric intake. Burning calories with exercise can give you some wiggle room but won’t do anything by itself. You could skip exercise entirely and still make progress with a good diet.
