  • 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.



  • 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.





  • 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.









  • You think that’s absurd? Have you never gotten married? Wedding photos are extremely important and while “she almost vomited” may be hyperbole, I can definitely understand being very pissed off if that was the only version of the photo. Our wedding photographer whitened our teeth in our photos and we requested that they undo that so we look like ourselves. The sentiment was nice, but we didn’t want that. I would have been pretty unhappy if they hadn’t held onto the originals and were unable to revert our teeth back to their normal shades. Photos of our bridal showers and dress hunting were nearly as important as the wedding photos themselves. I can understand being upset with this undesired result.



  • find it hard to believe that a newborn baby girl could have an overflowing-roast beef-looking vulva like that photo up there on the left.

    Yes, newborn babies have not yet gone through puberty, where hormones cause quite a bit of growth and change in our reproductive organs, so you are correct that you should not expect such large labia on a newborn baby.
