Of course you’re free to request whatever you want. I also don’t object the feature. I was just wondering on how this can be such an important feature (‘IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented’) for someone rather than a minor inconvenience. ;)
With the amount of comments under a Lemmy post is this really a serious issue for you? If you’re scrolling through hundreds or thousands of comments, I see how GIFs might be distracting but with only the few, up to a few dozens of comments under a typical post here I don’t see how this can be a major dealbreaker.
Couldn’t you just draw in the sand with a stick? I think if there’s an ape who’s fluent in English handwriting that would make it to the news pretty fast.
I would argue that if it can happen that a glitch can make you win, a glitch can also make you lose. So, if I was that lady, I would take this to court and request a detailed list of all people that were refunded because they lost due to a glitch. Oh, you didn’t reimburse the ‘losers’? So give that lady her money and make sure your machines work next time. And I’d also request a detailed audit of the internal mechanism and code by an independent auditor.
I have to admit that I kinda hate that entire industry and would love to see them burn for their often shady practices.
That’s exactly what I was thinking as well. If I watch a more complex video about maths, programming, engineering or if a primary source is displayed for a second, then I pause the video to have a detailed look AT THE VIDEO, not to look at ads.
How do you see someone screaming into the void if you muted them?
Regarding backpacking: I experienced the ultralight community to be a very friendly and welcoming (although a bit nerdy) group of people. Yes, you CAN spend a lot of money on hightech equipment like many people do in cycling, archery etc. but it is also very common to MYOG (make your own gear). You can spend 200 bucks on the latest leightweight highend titanium cook pot. Or you can simply reuse an old fish can to cook in. And while this selfmade gear sometimes looks a bit clumsy, it often beats the hightech stuff. And the lightest gear sets I’ve seen were mostly self-made.
Really? I bought an Ender 3 V2 three years ago which is quite famous in the ‘scene’ but also famous for a number of issues. As a newbie I asked a lot of beginner questions and I constantly received very supportive and helpful answers.
‘Yeah that’s a known issue but you can tweak X, change setting Y or replace part Z to work around it’
Same experience with the FreeCAD community. Amazing people and a software that works pretty well with some initial exercise.
Not a washing machine technician but I guess an optical sensor measuring the light permeability of the water (over time) should do the trick. Similar to a smoke detector. But I guess weight is a thing as well.
Newer washing machines vary in time depending on how dirty your clothes are. So the same program may take 50 minutes or 90 minutes. This cannot be solved with a regular timer.
If you have a job with varying hours, you might want to start the washing mashine when you’re heading home. Then you’re clothes are ready to be hung as you arrive and they aren’t laying around for hours.
If you own photovoltaic, you might want to time energy intense home appliances such as washing machines, dish washers etc. to a period of overproduction.
Not saying, these issues are super important but there definitely are use cases for smart devices. However, I’d always recommend using a local / self-hosted rather than a cloud-based solution.
While scrolling, I first thought the oak was a sea turtle underwater swimming upwards to the left side.
