Because those Americans are entitled, insecure, ignorant, xenophobic assholes.

The point of this is to:

• Reduce the number of API requests from whatever 3rd party apps are left; this reduces server load and costs.
• Coerce users into trying the 1st party app and tolerating it so they can watch NSFW content. This may cause some users to abandon the 3rd party app and just settle for the 1st party app.

I doubt it has much to do with advertising.

BPM: Bullets Per Minite

Doom meets dungeon crawler meets Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Ummmm… this works amazingly well.

I generated an API key, and ran the docker command; that’s it… done, working perfectly.

I’ve never used sponsorblock before, but it’s hilarious how well this works. It’s like an aggressive jump cut 🤣 and the poor segue to the sponsor segment doesn’t even survive.

Only if it’s a specialty filament or something tricky; like Proto-Pasta can be. If I’m just running another spool of Hatchbox or Overture I just use my generic PLA profile and send it.

This sums it up perfectly for me too.

I tune whenever I start getting failures

Nice!

I’m also a sim racer and mainly use iRacing. I also manage a site that posts schedules and setups for the (low participation) Kamel GT series on iRacing.

Guava jam

Damn, this sounds like me… I wonder if I have some ADHD/hyper fixation stuff.

I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been using Space Sniffer. I like how it updates in realtime.

Just to add a bit of discussion on the modem vs. modem + router thing. I know it’s a pain to have to get two devices; cost is higher; also two things to worry about hooking up/configuring.

At my previous place I bought a Motorola modem in 2012 or so. I kept that modem for 10 years and it chugged along delivering the speeds I paid for. Because it simply had an Ethernet port on the back of it, it meant that I went through 3 or 4 routers in that period. Some were replaced because I got a router for free from a friend and wanted to install custom firmware. Some were swapped in because the previous one failed, and the last one was added because I upgraded to a Ubiquiti Edge Router and two separate WAPs.

None of this would have been possible with a combo device.

Again, I’m not trying to convince you or anyone else that this is a path for everyone, just adding a different way of viewing the two devices situation. It offers you flexibility and plug-ability.

If you’d like to learn about multi rotors (quads/drones/etc) or even fixed-wing stuff, I’d suggest checking out the following on YouTube:

• Painless360

I just got back into the aircraft side of the hobby after being gone for a decade and these two channels were able to get me back up to speed. They both have really great reviews/tutorials/in-depth technical videos.

Hey this sounds like me!

I just built a Strix Nano Goblin FPV fixed wing with Arduplane and a flight controller. I’m looking to get a sub-250g FPV quad for the backyard/neighborhood and my kid and I recently built a 1/10 Tamiya TT02! We also have a TRX4m that is a load of fun.

Is Chromium not an option?

That’s probably what Nativefier and most Electron apps you’re likely already using like Slack, Discord, VS Code, 1Password, Signal, etc. is using under the hood anyway.

I realize you’re likely referring to music formats/players, but…

I’ve wanted to get some Zip disks and a USB drive to just have fun with the nostalgia. Same with Minidiscs. Every time I see a Techmoan video with Minidiscs I say to myself “you don’t need them… you don’t need them…”

Yup. That was Grade-A bullshit from the seller. People will say anything to try to sell you a “superior” product.

Firefox was big on stopping them for me.

You may have misinterpreted what I said; I probably wasn’t clear enough.

If NSFW content isn’t available through a 3rd party app, I’m assuming that usage will fall (as the user looks elsewhere), hence less overall API requests.

I’m not trying to say that because the API responses won’t contain as many NSFW posts, it’ll save data or anything (still sending a full “page” of responses at a time).

Your point still stands however! If the user leaves the 3rd party app and goes straight to the 1st party app instead, yeah it’s a wash and they are serving the requests anyway.

Rubber

A coworker recommended it to me. Months later I was randomly talking at lunch time about how shitty the movie was. He said “wait you’re talking about Rubber?” And he just busted out laughing. He watched it and knew it was awful… but he also kind of liked it I think.

It’s not often that I feel like I’ve wasted an afternoon and those are hours I’ll never get back… but Rubber made me feel that.

Walter watches Jesse’s girlfriend Jane choke on her own puke as she’s overdosing and does nothing to help her.

He was sneaking around in their home and did not want to risk getting caught, so he almost intervened, but then decides against it, and regrets doing nothing as she dies in front of him.

He later reveals this to Jesse during a conflict.

From Jesse’s perspective, he had just woken up and she was dead, choked on her own vomit.

Walter tells him he watched it happen and essentially admits that he could have helped.
