  Well, it would really just be a 2 - 10 second read, depending upon how fast you read, so…

  On the other hand, do you consider time taken imagining the story, as part of the reading time, because I know a book that would have a months long reading time in that case.

  But what if the book were titled, “Here’s how I became a millionaire”

  Just don’t run their shitty silicon burners on your system and get some good stuff.
  Support teams that are willing to make builds for the latest Arch release (and tell me too if you find any :P).

  I have narrowed down my “to pay” list to GoG + Linux games, only problem being, since they are not open source, we still depend upon them rebuilding the binaries for the latest systems. Otherwise, we need to then keep an older version of Ubuntu for it. Really wish GoG pushed Debian as a standard for those cases (for old games which the dev might not rebuild), because Ubuntu ages worse than Debian, when out of LTS.

  I normally like GitLab issues as a place for bug reports.

  A FAQ and an old style forum works pretty well for help.
  In fact, just make a community on Lemmy for the forum part and you’ll have what’s required.

  GitHub also has this new “Discussions” thing which should do some good, for those that want to stay on GitHub

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems to fit all the points I put somewhere else in this thread.

  • Nice, glancing angles on the teeth
  • Adequate distance between teeth (and unlike mine, the surface between the teeth has been properly smoothed out, making cleaning easier)
  • Nice girth on the handle, making hard presses into the object doable without bending the neck
  • Despite the girth, the handle shape with properly defined edges, reduces the DEX requirement of the user
    • On top of that, you have chamfers and fillets on those edges, reducing pressure on the skin (which I didn’t even think to ask for)
  • None of the form-over-function bs as is done in 2

  This is even better than the fork that I have on my table right now.

  Though that kink on the back end of the handle seems to trigger my OCD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the bulging teeth in the sides of 5, but I guess that depends more upon what you are eating with it.

  I prefer teeth with as acute an angle as viable, so for the front part, I’d go with 2.

  The space between the teeth also matters:

  • it decides how soft and brittle an object you can pierce with it, without the object breaking down.
  • as it decides the variety of objects you can use to clean them.

  The fork I use has ~1.5 times the space between teeth as 2

  As you said, the handle in 2 is a no. I would be fine with either of 1 and 5 for that.

  Though I like 5 for the neck girth of the handle in the 3rd dimension, which would make it last longer and be better for harder stuff, the oval shape seems like it would cause more unwanted turning during use, requiring a higher Dexterity for handling.

  While the handle for 3 looks like it would be fine for use, it seems like it would break in ~6 months.

  imagining fields (not forces,

  Yeah that thing. Except that they were dubbed “magnetic lines of force”.

  Looking at the iron shavings though, it seemed more like low potential energy regions/ stable regions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hamster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For anyone whose magnet related memories are not filled with various line illustrations of the forces, that’s probably it.

  And even though my head is full of those illustrations, I don’t seem to understand how the iron fillings and ferrofluids make the shapes they do instead of just sticking to the magnet. And I am too lazy to do the maths to make myself understand.
