Worked at a machine shop for a while, it’s funny how the easiest way to gauge surface finish is to run your nail trough it
At one of the places we worked at we would know when the rough cut was deep enough just by feel

Are you telling me they put them in front of actual rocks and let them lick them in finals?

They’re going lean so they’re firing half their workforce so the rest can produce more work. Don’t worry though middle management is safe

Even if you just want to chill you can easily use cheat engine to give you infinite resources and it’s still challenging and captivating believe it or not. I played through all the campaigns that way and enjoyed them all. People really need to give a shot to cheating in single player games they’re iffy about, sometimes it can create the experience you’re actually looking for

- Comment on Elasticsearch is open source, again 2 months ago:
Having contacted them to get a contract going for the non free license before I doubt they actually give a shit about Foss. They literally wouldn’t give me a price without knowing how many employees the company I was being outsourced to had. And we wanted to self host so it wasn’t even a matter of their costs they literally charge based on what you look like

But how can I make it about women issues then?
- Comment on Aluminum 3 months ago:
Doesn’t most cheapo aluminum have iron mixed in to make it more affordable? I worked at a machine shop a couple of months and I remember the shitty castings downright having iron bubbles inside them
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
I know the lemmy hivemind jumps at any opportunity to trash reddit, but if properly implemented (which to be honest they probably won’t ) this could be the same as paid forums back in the day. It just depends on how much or a cut they get and how do they manage revenue share. If you could have your own private forum for free and have people subscribe to it for 2 bucks a month and you get 75% revenue of every sub it would probably spring a lot of high value forums, I’m mostly thinking like car forums used to be but it’d probably be used as another only fans

- Comment on CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | Some of the people said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled 3 months ago:
Yes, to be fair they did the same with the new years party, they’d do a collection between the employees to hire a place
Mind you there were around 300 employees in the company this is not a mom and pop shop we’re talking about

- Comment on Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data 4 months ago:
Pretty much, if you’re security conscious you’ll go and turn it off, if it keeps meta from lobbying against the mozzila foundation it seems like a happy middle ground.
If/when they make it so you can’t turn it off anymore that will be a different story

Only if it works as a peer to peer, if the device depends on connecting to a company’s server (which all do since the whole point was to collect usage habits) then you’re shit out of luck whenever they decide you’re
- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 4 months ago:
Man mobile gaming is such utter crap in general, I hope the handheld gaming PC trend picks up and people start developing actual competing games for Android instead of micro transaction filled pay to win pieces of shit games

Gba games on my phone were the shit in my late teens
- Comment on ‘Quantum internet’ demonstration in cities is most advanced yet 5 months ago:
It pisses me off that they’re calling quantum data transmission quantum entanglement, it’s not the same thing and it’s misleading as fuck.
Quantum entanglement is about two quantum particles sharing the same state which if implemented somehow would allow for universal communication with no time lag. Sending quantum state communication through fiber optic, while an achievement for distributed quantum computing, is not quantum entanglement!!
