  I think if this is implemented properly, both players should be acting like the trophy was a challenge to get, even rating it the same difficulty

  I’m not sure how them losing a part of their potential revenue stream does that…

  It’s not as if Google or Apple rely soley on IAPs for revenue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Talk: Why Is Datadog So Expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All due respect (which is none), I don’t give a fuck what you think. Plus, this isn’t even an ad for Splunk, which you’d know if you actually read the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Talk: Why Is Datadog So Expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just read the article, it’s actually pretty interesting.

  The TL;DR is that there is so much observable data out there (exponentially more than expected), that Datadog, which isn’t optimized to deal with that, caused their prices to need to hike.

  There are two options listed as alternatives:

  1. Self host but it might not be cheaper
  2. Buy into a company that is from the ground up focusing on dealing with that massive amount of data.

  I will second the drying filament statement. It’s genuinely shocking the difference it can make. Pretty much every metric is improved by using properly dried filament.

  There are also food dehydrator mods out there on thingiverse/printables to convert a cylindrical dehydrator to work for filament without butchering the stands that come with it. Plus side is you can also make beef jerky with it :P

  I don’t think the tolerances would be too bad. A lot of prints that have tight tolerances have a test piece that you print and test against a known object, which let’s you adjust your print to get tighter tolerances. Once you correct for the expansion of the plastic, getting the right tolerances should be totally doable.

  I think as an initial go, I would recommend just getting raspbian/Linux in general onto a pi or other board, and messing with the CLI. Just having a pi and being comfortable trying things out is huge. Plus, with it being on a micro SD card, you can very easily break things and wipe the card and recreate your setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists use Raspberry Pi tech to protect NASA telescope data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel that. One of my first raspberry pi projects was a magic mirror, it’s basically a pi hooked up to a display and you can program in modules to display custom data, like a weather forecast for your area along with your Google calendar showing the upcoming appointments.

  I’d say a raspberry pi 4B with at least 2GB of ram is fine, but upping the ram will let you do more with it.

  Docker projects are also fun, like making a pihole.

  These projects have lots of documentation and support, so you’re always a Google search away from help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists use Raspberry Pi tech to protect NASA telescope data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if you’re not looking for the latest and greatest pi out there, it’s actually pretty easy to get your hands on one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Is Shutting Down its $2 Billion Creator Fund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure it’ll create a vacuum, though. Sure, some creators will leave but overall I think the content will just decrease in quality as the main motivating factor shifts from actual good content to pushing viewers into other methods of monetization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Is Shutting Down its $2 Billion Creator Fund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so. With the tiktok shop, this move will push creators to shill (mostly) crappy products in order to make money. Or potentially transition to something like Patreon, but I’m not sure if that’s even doable with short form content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Worst TL;DR:

  Fandom is a wiki farm, meaning it hosts a bunch of wikis. Also they run on freely available software mediawiki.

  Fandom has a couple main problems:

  1. Barriers to entry are super low, verification for users takes place 4 days post account creation, with no other steps needed by the user. Paired with the limited options that moderators have for editing access on wikis and you have a wiki that is much tougher to moderate.

  2. Ads. Fandom is for-profit. And that means super obtrusive ads that we’ve come to expect. But fandom also shoved ads in the middle of wiki pages, with admins having no control of where those should be placed. There’s also the matter of sketchy ads that are served to minors. Also, some of the ads are outdated but are for subsidiary companies of Fandom.

  3. The Grimace Incident. Basically Fandom took over and turned the McDonald’s and grimace wikis into huge advertisements, wiping out the hard work that the actual wiki maintainers did. They also put in a bunch of factually incorrect information, literally going against the whole purpose of a wiki and really worrying other wikis, because what’s stopping Fandom from getting paid again and repeating the event with their wikis?

  I’m sure I glossed over a bunch of the details but that’s the best I can do from memory.
