  • Thanks for the cross post.

    Citations needed on mod tool complaints. I mod one of the largest communities on Lemmy. In 2 years I’ve had around a couple dozen times that required actual mod stuff. The tools are perfectly adequate for the volume of users in my opinion.

    We all took it a little hard when some regular users left. I get that. There will always be people coming and going for various reasons.

    There is also always an issue with narcissists that tend to get involved with moderating for the wrong reasons.

    All humans are lazy at times. And all of us have a right to pick up an leave if we choose. Blaming the tools as a scapegoat for one’s laziness, or inadequacy, or to mask one’s financial limitations, seems to me like a narcissistic way to toss in the towel and check out, like an attempt to drag others down too.

    I wish those that want to leave all the best, and I’ll still be here hanging around if you ever want to come back, friend. Regardless , thanks for what you contributed to this place in the time we spent as digital neighbors.





  • I’m 40, and so I experienced the naughties 2000-2010 in dating life. Everyone was just getting cell phones when I was in high school. Cell phones ended the expensive long distance phone calls over land lines. Prior to that, writing culture was the primary form of communication. My parents sent each other letters in the mail. Life was much slower, but information was much harder to come by. Entertainment sucked and was just whatever was on cable TV. Music and movies were monopolies that were largely dictated by a few elites.

    People were more social though. Everyone is getting their endorphins from idiot bricks like we are doing right now stranger. There is very little actual motivation to socialize and without the deficit building up for days or weeks to motivate socializing, humans are less likely to put out enough effort or value their opportunities. Now the problem is connecting with someone in the real world while disconnecting from the zombie feed in equal measures as individuals to focus on each other.





  • There are over 100k homeless people within 100 miles of me right now. I have fallen through the cracks of this system and been subject to it directly after a broken neck and back. No one can survive on their own with the benefits and getting those benefits is nearly impossible now. It takes years of effort that is demeaning and degrading with dozens of intentional loopholes and cost barriers for systemic denials and terrible treatment. There are even treatments for my problems with stem cells in Japan, but the inbred halfwits of Western normalized cultural mysticism prevent any stem cell research and treatments here in this Luddite backwater.






  • Why are you confrontational? I’m just casually tossing out ideas and learning. Of course I understand what you are saying. However, busybox covers the core of a POSIX system and with the size constraints, it is likely standardising something like this. On Gentoo, such a change might be more straight forward instead of some sloppy hack with a wrapper.

    I imagine you must be good at memorizing a lot of information. I am not. I am good at abstraction and must explore in abstraction to understand heuristically. I understand heuristic connections better than most people. Neither method is better or worse. Being toxic about interchanges of information is useless nonsense. I know far more than I let on, but I’m well aware that I am a jack of all trades and expert of none. All the projects don’t matter relative to those that are used the most. If most projects can be colorized, it will motivate others to fall in line or prompt rewrites assuming such a change was popular. Colorized manpages and help pages should be standard and should have been a decade ago. No one is using an IDE without syntax highlighting. The terminal is an extension of the abstracted language of Linux. Without universal syntax highlighting for new users in these spaces, Linux is presenting an outdated language format ripe for deprecation. These details have long term consequences.








  • Add some z hop. A fast move is likely contacting a lifted spot or some ooze. I have had this happen before. It can move the plate or skip steps in the motor which is undetectable unless you see it happen. The belt does not need to slip; only enough force to overcome the motor step fields’ strength is required. During fast movements, it is likely skipping some steps or transitioning from full steps to micro stepping which can create potential vulnerable points where the holding field strength is less than ideal in a compromise to create faster accelerations/decelerations. You have got to remember that 3d printers are cheap largely because they are not absolute position linear systems. All motions are relative to (0,0) home. The (0,0) home location is precise, but it is not accurate at all. Every step the machine makes is only ever precise but is accurate relative to the (0,0) home location. Therefore any skipped steps are catastrophic. The primary issue that causes this is that the steppers are in an unknown position upon first powering them up and they move randomly to whatever field step position happens to be closest. Likewise, all end stop methods do not trigger accurately to within a single step field position. It gets complicated to actually make an accurate linear system for things like IDEx or CNC.
