Hell, I’m surprised the publishers aren’t up in arms about it.
Amazon is changing copyrighted works.

Wireless drivers are in a lot better state than they used to be, printer drivers are very dependent on the brand you have.
IME (YMMV) Brother printers seem to consistently work quite well and Epson printers seem to consistently be shit.
- Comment on Loops by pixelfied Is Doomed to Fail Because of Daniel Supernault 3 days ago:
Yeah a github repo creation date is pretty close to meaningless IMO.
It’s the update history that matters.
A project being started, shelved, then revisited later is the name of the game when it comes to me, and I honestly believe that’s pretty typical for large projects.
- Comment on Loops by pixelfied Is Doomed to Fail Because of Daniel Supernault 3 days ago:
I was wondering why OPs post looked so familiar… It makes so much sense now.
OP really needs to touch some grass.

Literacy rates are on a severe decline in the US, AI is only going to make that worse.
Over half of Americans between 16 and 74 read below a 6th grade level (that’s below the expected reading level of an 11 year old!)
- Comment on Recreate old chess pieces 5 days ago:
No better time than the present to learn a new skill! Especially with the amount of resources available nowadays.
Personally I’d take picture of each piece from at least 3 sides (top, left, front) all with an object of known size (like a ruler) in frame. Then pick your software (Blender is AWESOME) and faff about and stumble through and learn.
It’s hard at first but the level of satisfaction that comes from learning a new skill is immense.
- Comment on What does Lemmy think of Daniel Supernault or on mastodon? 5 days ago:
This so much
Straight up even with how little OP said they seem to be saying, “I harrassed this person online to the point they blocked me on all platforms I had to communicate with them, does anyone else have issues with them?”
OP should treat this as a learning opportunity, touch grass, and enjoy the work of others for what that work is. Don’t harass people online folks.

Oh thank god it was just a joke
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
Could be like some of those TVs that have baked-in ads. So if you don’t have a data connection, they’ll just play the default ones.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
Officer, “Why’d you run that red light?”
Me, “If I hear the Meow Mix Jingle one more time I’m gonna snap!”
Jeep, having heard you mention a product, dutifully plays the relevant ad.
- Comment on Google's AI made up a fake cheese fact that wound up in an ad for Google's AI, perfectly highlighting why relying on AI is a bad idea 1 week ago:
Especially considering that the “pointing out of said hallucinations” comes much later than when they’re shared. And NEVER made it as far and wide as the initial bullshit.

- Comment on Lmao 2 months ago:
Straight up I took it once in the evening because my doctor told me to take one then to help me sleep and about 30 minutes later I started feeling not so great.
I went and sat in my chair and my heart started pounding.
When things finally “calmed down” it had been over an hour and I felt so damn shitty. I got up to grab my phone so I could call out of work (I knew I was going to be in no condition by morning) and then round 2 started.
0/10 would not take that again
My fitness tracker did congratulate me on the 6 hours of cardio I apparently got that night, so that was nice I guess.
- Comment on Lmao 2 months ago:
Different meds can have different effects on different people
I tried half a dozen different meds before I got a different diagnosis and prescription
Each one came with its own unique set of side effects (like 1 anti anxiety drug that gave me panic attacks). Sometimes you’ve got to try a bunch before you get the one that works for you
- Comment on Why buy a film canister when I can design and print one? 2 months ago:
I didn’t know some manufacturers do that, that’s pretty cool
I wish more would do that lol
- Comment on Why buy a film canister when I can design and print one? 2 months ago:
Yeah it’s definitely not for long term storage, it’s primarily for something to put the film in after it’s been exposed before I can get it developed and added protection during shipping.
Ideally they spend less than a month in the tubes before getting developed though.
Fun little fact about 120 film: it’s just paper on the outside of roll between the film and the outside world. It basically has an IP rating of “lol” after it’s been taken out of the foil.
I’m planning on making some more 120 film accessories as I dive more into it, because it’s kinda niche and I’d love to make the accessories for it have a lower barrier of entry.

That’s the spirit
Family is the relationship, relatives are who you’re related to.
Found family is better anyways.
- Comment on "Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online 2 months ago:
Republican
advocate for people’s rights
You really can’t be both at the same time.
After this election I’ve had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as “trump’s just saying things, he doesn’t actually mean anything he’s saying.” And then they’d get defensive when I’d ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn’t mean anything he says.
It’s really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it’s amazing realizing that you don’t need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.
