Ah, clear. Have fun then! The end result look quite nice actually, fun project.

Very cool! This is the second time I see the heat-bed used in an ‘exotic’ way 😄

But what piqued my interest is, what the heck are you doing with watch dials? I know from buying a couple of watches that the dial is always considered a work of art, precision and crispness. What I mean to say is, dials seem to be uber important. And seems very, very difficult to mimic by yourself at home.

Are you trying to create watches and thus need to also create dials? Create new dials for existing watches? I’m super curious now 😀

Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI

In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Now it will be “AI” all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…

And for the low, low price of $4,99 you will get not one, not two but three ad blocking devices you can use to stop these ads from bothering you! Available in several cute patterns and colors. Get yours now, call now!

(warning: do not wash these cloths above 105°F or there might be ad-spillage while using the ad blocker due to shrinkage)

Not to be rude or anything but your responses sound very much like it was generated by AI.

I can just about guarantee that most of your day to day life is influenced by what people did in the past in regards to protests. Could be as huge as in civil war or smaller local protest to combat small issues. Your rights and comforts have been written in the blood of those who preceded you. Sometimes metaphorically, sometimes very real blood.

Protesting helps and did help.

Forget the technical BS of this moron, lets focus on the gofundme nonsense.
So I pay into this gofundme thing and that makes me partial owner of that bridge, just like the others who participated. In what fantasy world do you live if you think that bridge will not be blocked for all others who did not participate? Will the people out of the kindness of their hearts allow others to cross that bridge?
If you believe that this bridge will not cause people to throw hissyfits and consider it private then I have a bridge to sell you 😂

Getting the fascist russians out of their country, but you knew that.

Usually you fascist shills are a bit more creative in lying, you reek of desperation.

Well, that is russia for you, bunch of war mongers the lot of them. Useless ghouls.

Good on you for seeing this, there might be some hope for you yet!

Just replace Ukraine in this post with russia and you have the true facts. Incredible this projection thing, always the same with fascists like you, always blame others of what you do and want.

You know who could limit or remove that deathtoll really quick? That would be russia, you know, the ones who rolled into a country with war on their minds and started the whole deathtoll thing.

Why do you expect anybody else to act here? Or is russia untouchable in your view?

The top brass at Boeing probably won’t be getting a lot of leisure time until then

Why do you say this? What gives you the idea that they will face some form of workload pressure because of this?
The only people not getting leisure time will be the persons responsible fixing this. The consequences for the top brass will be Golden Parachuting to the next job, losing stock or face devaluation of said stock.

If you honestly think top brass is actually fixing this or face some form of heavy workload then you’d be wrong.

PS: This is not a manifesto on the inequalities of the current system 😊
It’s based on 40+ years of working where I have never seen top brass taking any form of responsibility or workload. They ‘connect’, ‘network’ and god knows what. All fair play if hired for that but please, do not confuse top management and actual work on products or being involved in fixing products. Also, never seen them ‘empower’ or ‘facilitate’ so others can work more efficiently or something like that.

Ok, small personal manifesto after all 😇

Just give me the tools, as a user, to block instances. Not just the way it is done recently but truly block an instance and all it’s posts and users. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance and all things related to it.

We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.

I miss those days. That bible of documentation was usually the means to have the others, i.e. the customer or other teams using your software, be able to do their work in that software. And I feel that by delivering software without extensive documentation you are extending your agile way of working to the customer. When does agile stop and actually deliver every component meant to be delivered?

This comments speaks to me. From day one you could see the problems with agile and my gods, if you dared to push back you were ‘not cooperating with the team’ and other BS like that.

I have yet to see an agile/scrum way of working that does not devolve in waterfall within 5 nano seconds. Funniest was the IT team that needed to support about 10 other teams (developers). Good luck in getting agile with that while diving into a tunnel where 10 teams start pulling your resources on the fly. The IT team was on the end (they tried like 5 times to enforce agile on us) absolved from using agile as the complete project would come to a stand still in a day if we followed the agile principle.

Yeah, and it’s the blocking of the complete user base of an instance that’s what I truly want and seek.

The app is fine but I’m also using webui so I would love the feature to be at the ‘root’ of Lemmy instead only in 1 app.
I read elsewhere that v0.19 will not bring complete instance blocking. Communities will be blocked but not the users, and it is the users and everything about an instance I want to block. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance, as if it and its users do not exist at all. I’m getting conflicting messages on the ability of v0.19 by several people and I am lost on what it will actually bring. I guess we will have to wait and see once v0.19 is out and we start using it.

How do you, as a user, block an entire instance? As far as I know only an owner of an instance can block (de-federate) another instance. I would love being able to block an instance as a user though.
