@mvgorcum@chaos.social Thanks for the suggestion though!

@mvgorcum@chaos.social Ah, I'm already starting to use a baseplate design that has a snap-fit that works with standard Gridfinity bins

Bicycle wheel design is way more complicated than I'd ever expect (I never gave it a thought tbh)

Well, today was mostly spent talking in Dangerous Professional to the manager of the local McDonald's, to get a friend of mine the salary they are entitled to. Things set in motion, and now we wait.

Speaking of which, if you work for McDonald's in the Netherlands and are on a part-time or full-time contract, check your pay slip. They *should* be paying you for your contract hours plus overtime, *not* for the clocked-in hours. But according to the local manager they always calculate by clocked-in hours (as per head office policy), which is illegal.

Oh hey, even the HN crowd seems to have finally caught onto the fact that the people controlling the US government are fascists. Or some of them have, anyway

they should make an internet that's usable on a quad core 1.5 ghz processor with only 4 gigs of ram without grinding the entire system to a halt

you know when i was a teen a 1.5 ghz 4 core cpu with 4 GiB of ram would have been an absolute monster of a computer. the rpi's gpu would still have been complete dog shit by our standards back then though. i've never seen a computer struggle to run kobo deluxe before

seriously bums me out to see these specs be absolute garbage tier. hardware keeps getting faster and faster but software is just a race to the bottom now

If you roll your eyes at people asking you not to use ableist slurs and don't really get what the big deal is about 'whatever ableism is' anyway and think we're all just over-sensitive or some shit and tend to skip past threads talking about why you shouldn't be ableist, yeah this one's for you. Read up, fucker.
