Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?

• it started as something racist
• but then—

We can stop right there

I dont see how you can defend this. You acknowledge it’s based on a racist term. There’s no reclamation going on, you just lifted context and addressed none of the problems. And no part of you is saying “we could probably use another work here” in all of this?

I would’ve guessed 20x more.

We love our emotes

I’ve been on Hexbear the entire time. It’s inclusive, yet has zero tolerance for reactionary attitudes.

Also since federation we actually have been complaining the quality of posts we see have gone down. You all lack an energy that made r/cth and hexbear such a breath of fresh air.

because it’s shit

All those i figured

and the pet project of the person kicked out of Mozilla for continuing to defend harmful political donations

This one is interesting to me because it begins to explains why it has the same terrible clipart lions head logo as a bunch of deadend political parties, groups, and candidates. It seems pretty obvious now

Yeah, dunno how #10 accurately reflects our rank because we are far and away more active than many of these instances

Language fails us again and again, how often do we have to compare things to other feelings of sensation? Miscommunications? How short do words fall time and time again? A fool believes our words are enough, like a haggard face cant speak volumes with more clarity without a single word being said.

They were not called that “for a brief moment” it’s been used to put down import tuner cars for decades by people who’d rather drive mustangs and camaros. It was meant to put down:

• small displacement import cars
• tuned import cars
• (and this one i remember cause it wasnt that long ago) cars with cheap or considered tacky modifications that often only alluded to performance modification.

It’s so obviously loaded with racist connotation that I dont know why you’d want to defend it so badly.

Also it’s not two manufacturers. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mistubishi were all putting out sporty cars that were getting performance numbers rivaling v8 block american cars at the time

It was racist WITHIN MY OWN LIFETIME unless you fell out the applecart yesterday that still applies to you.

Also, it’s easier to completely demolish the building. Accommodations can be made much easier, but no one does it because it’s too much work, the disabled people of the metaphor are figuring out ways around it.

Also the anti-disabled people knickknacks are still displayed EVERYWHERE

So dont even have a month of federation yet

I’m seeing a bunch of tacked on cosmetic bits made to give the look of performance to computers. According to another post, that one-for-one matches my last known definition to the term.

Also nonracists using a racist term doesnt make the term stop being racist. Curing doesnt start by not meaning it when you keep using the racist term. You dont bandage a stab wound by continually stabbing the victim.

Google search: hyperspecific computer or hobby problem reddit is the only good material I find on the damn site.

Knowing enough of the process makes it incredibly easy to slack off, and that should always be the goal.

The final ending of Nier: Automata.

That game was all about a lonely world and then turned it around at very end. It’s not exactly hard to ask for help, but sometimes someone turns to you to ask if you need it. And even in a lonely time, it’s very nice, touching even, to think about someone reaching out to help.

Of course then, after accepting the help, I made the choice to offer myself to someone’s aid.

I think one thing that stands us out among other spaces on the internet is rejection of common referential humor, this space almost demands you develop your own thing, and enjoy our beautifully curated collection of emotes Also our moderation is pretty top notch, and you get a sense it’s okay to fail here. It gives you a fearlessness. Like, we dont make small dick jokes here about people we dont like because we dont want to hurt anyone who does have a small dick in the community, also because it reinforces bs masculinity tropes. So this means we have to approach from new angles and this limitation fosters a creativity in us. And I think you can have this too, with enough time.

We dont all like lazy humor or really cheap shots, and cherish bits and running jokes with each other. Have you seen our owl? It’s very dirty.

If you cant put a set of rays on your pc can you even call it done? 😤

No. This framing is incredibly foolish. If a term is hurtful to a group of people, you stop using it in favor of other words, otherwise you demonstrate you dont care that it is hurtful to a group of people, hence “continually stabbing the victim”

conversely, Battlefield: Lego

to continue this incredibly labored metaphor, yeah things are kinda nice for everyone when there are accommodations for disabled, or mobility compromised people. There's a term for when accommodations for one group, like sidewalk curb cut-outs, actually have a multiplicative benefit for everyone, even outside of the principle group. Curb cut-outs on sidewalks make it easier for wheelchair users, and the blind, but also they benefit strollers, old people, and delivery people getting up the curb.

so making the house nice for disable people actually makes it nice for everyone.

to drop the metaphor, yeah getting rid of systemic racism is actually nice for everyone

I’ve recently returned to wanting to get into guitar amplifier repair and design.

I have a pair of amps that i want to diagnose some particular problems and perhaps design a new pcb for or build out whole new ones

there are a lot of <250 user instances on that list.

They would probably never see their local content again

I saw two borked up ads that played audio and no video, refreshed my browser and haven't seen them since. I also updated my block list and it's been fine.

It’s kinda like connecting a sleepy road as a bypass or service road to an incredibly busy highway. I dont blame anyone for being a little alarmed at the monstrous increase of activity all of a sudden

Now give me 20 80 bucks.

“That’s just the culture around here”

::: spoiler Cant have mid-stream ads on a torrent

Yet

Just block all of france.

I think the internet will actually appreciate that

Hell yeah i do, i’ve been keeping a notebook for scheduling and journaling for the last 5 years and it helps my thought process so much.

The biggest thing for me, i dont control the apps, so if an update breaks my apps, i’d be out of luck, but that cant happen with a notebook. My notes will always been as i wrote them.

I’ve even gone through writing with gel pens, to fountain pens, and now i just use pencils cause it’s just better over all.

I could get philosophical about it too. I remember what i write, my mind paces itself better as i commit to paper vs typing on a keyboard or screen. We have that primordial need to scribble on something, and i get to indulge it when i write:

• coffee
• milk
• rice (big bag)

Everyone should try it, with a simple caveat: keep it cheap. Write in cheap books with cheap pens and paper, then buy better as the cheap shit starts to fail on you. Some paper is really bad for ink, some are bad for pencil, somehow there’s some that worse for both. Some pencils have terrible erasers, but dont dwell on those choices.

That sounds right. Amps are such annoying little fragile things arent they?

I spent the money on the Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks after trying to make moleskines work. I do not regret it, nor the work that brought me there.

I’m left handed so spiral bound is out for the most part

American, Mid 30s, and all cars I've owned so far are Manual Transmission.

The shitposty part of me wants to call it a giant stim toy

I am so glad our instance is blocked from lemmyworld

Aesthetically, but imagine you’re waiting for a tank to spawn in, and a brick by brick building animation plays before it’s ready. And everything blows up to a spectacle of bricks flying

Cant say i’ve had that particular problem, except for gain. This makes me think i have a problem in my preamp section.

I wish i could switch out tubes for 2 of my amps. But they got EXPENSIVE, especially cause i favored Sovteks cause they used to be the cheapest. Also all my amps are Sovteks so i thought it was funny

Same story with mine, i ended up getting one as a teen, then bought another for dirt cheap 7 years ago. Had some guy repair it in the past after tubes blew, ended up cutting a ground wire to V1. This amp always has a dirty character, then i picked up another and it’s clean and loud and completely managable.

My latest gremlin has been a tone that generates under a note i play that overpowers my highest notes with an inharmonic distortion. But that’s gone away the last time i played it.
