The real Linus Tech Tips (now with 100% less sexual harrassment).

Interesting. That reminds me, I need to update one of my scripts.

Honestly, it's a programming focused instance, so I'm not quite sure how piracy even fits into it.

I think you and I have different visions of what the fediverse is. I don't view this account as a "programming account on a programming forum, so all things should be programming related" if that's what you are implying. I view instances as a comfortable home for my existence in the fediverse, where local communities may be programming related, but I still have access to the fediverse as a whole.

Much like I chose the city I live in based on the communities and amenities I prefer most of the time, but I can still travel anywhere else in the world any time I choose.

I'm against actual pirated content being federated here, but I would still like to see discussion about piracy if it is acceptable within the laws of @snowe's home country.

Miles O'Brien.

Is that what he's called in the US? Over here he is called Kilometres O'Brien.

I love that I can dump all my knowledge there and have it be easily searchable on my PC, phone, etc. I love that I can take notes, attach PDFs and images, or make my own canvases and excalidraw diagrams. It's awesome and flexible.

I hate that it's not FOSS. I appreciate that it's an open format (plaintext Markdown files) and prefer closed app and open data to the reverse (Joplin is open source, but mangles notes into a database). I'm strongly considering giving logseq a try, but some of my favorite obsidian features have become a crutch that I don't know if I want to live without.

That's fair. Demi did mention consent in her lyrics. I interpreted that a bit differently (that she may have felt too young to fully understand consent, not that she felt she was violated without consent). But I see your point.

Grooming and propriety are entirely different standards from rape. From what I gathered, they were claiming the former. Valderamma is being accused here of being a creepy sleazebag, not a criminal child rapist.

Rubber and nylon are both soft and are less likely to damage whatever you are hammering, but rubber is even softer and bouncier than nylon. I would use rubber when pounding wooden pieces of furniture together, but nylon would work better for forming soft metal like jewelry. Other specialty hammers like brass and copper are non-sparking and non-magnetic for use around flammable gases and sensitive equipment. They continue up the hardness scale -- brass for softer applications and copper when you need more force. Finally, you have you traditional steel hammer that is usually made out of hardened steel and would really mess up that soft wood from earlier if you tried striking it directly.

The person you're replying to said it was grooming and inappropriate. Don't move the fucking goalposts.

Have you never met an American? Look at it from the perspective of an inferiority complex and you may begin to understand.
