  you should probably choose a more foolproof tool and fastener

  I’m glad that we’ve reached the same conclusion at least

  Slotted only have two points of contact, which is part of what makes them so easy to strip.
  Most other fasteners have double that as a minimum.
  Slotted are also generally used in old-fashioned furniture only where I live, and those tend to be very shallow for aesthetic or historical reasons, making the problem even worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have an issue, it was just a question.
  I don’t ever translate anything but a few words myself.
  My assumption was that a dedicated tool would have done a better job, but you have good points about tone and coherence of long text (and possibly even across many promps of the translation).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they use LLMs for translation over dedicated translator (apps like Google translate)? Is this common now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only to a degree. Good flags are simple, distinct, memorable, easy to recognise from a distance, easy to recreate.
  There are plenty of objectively bad flags out there that fail in their design, yet people still like them, and that is fine.

  It’s not worth the risk. If your job is border control, would you be smuggling goods? Maybe some would, but most would not.

  They’re whitehat because they don’t want to take part in illegal activities, or already have and have grown from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pull to enter, you say?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
  People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
  It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true, at least for companies.
  Industry standard or even company standard means you need a very critical reason to switch because doing so is very costly in ways that don’t really affect an individual or a small team.
  This is why large corps often still use decades old software that may be terrible by that point, but impossible to move away from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake keepass repo on github⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is depressing. And what’s worse is that the best way to combat this is probably also AI. We’ll just scam ourselves out of resources by wasting it all on scams and battling scams. What a fitting way to go would that be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨28 years later, Lego Island's lost source code has been rediscovered – but the fans who spent nearly two years painstakingly decompiling it by hand "can't have it"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because doing so incurres a cost but no revenue.
  It may require a review of the code, there’s a risk of something being exposed that shouldn’t have been (e.g. misuse of intellectualproperty).
  There really aren’t any benefits for the studio.

  That’s assuming they’re even in business decade later, or even still have ownership.
