Does anyone know what these screws that also function as standoffs (you can screw a smaller screw into the screw!) are called? Cause I’ve been seeing them in computers recently and I think they’re neat!

So I was asking for some help with finding #CreativeCommons #graffiti art, and so far have not received help, but I decided to revisit an old project of mine where I actually created a blender Graffiti design and give it a refresh.
I know it is pretty rough, but hey, you can have it. I don't know how well protected @Blender s Suzanne is, but in terms of my original art, I consider this to be public domain, so CC-0

@joepie91 "capitalism is the most efficient system to allocate resources"
Yah, I bet it's efficient to just not allocate resources to the majority of people

Like, this one point basically defeats the *entirety* of the pro-capitalism talking points and rationales. "Efficiency", "beneficial self-interest", none of this crap works anymore the moment you realize that monopolies are the most efficient.
It defeats the ideological support structure for capitalism wholesale and leaves no viable remaining arguments. Zero.

Have you played a game in the creative management genre?
Examples: any game with "Sim", "Tycoon", "Planet", "Architect", or "Theme" in the title
The most efficient capitalist strategy is to construct a monopoly and honestly that is the point where literally any discussion on the 'merits of capitalism' and its ability to produce a functioning society should end
@rune It *would* have been trivial to fix if npm had, at any point in its lifetime, added proper support for cross-registry dependencies, as has been suggested many times...
But of course it didn't, because they're a commercial party, and there's a business interest in keeping things centralized and locked in...
Regarding the Docker registry limiting its unauthenticated pulls...
If you're also using npm, you have a contingency plan for when that starts getting limited too, right? Right?
(It has grown with the exact same unsustainable commercial model)
@xgranade@wandering.shop (I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on npm, too)
@xgranade@wandering.shop Yeah... it's unfortunately a pattern that keeps repeating. Company builds centralized infrastructure, actively encourages people to use it as much as possible, and then surprised pikachu it's expensive to run and not sustainable and oh no now they're starting to make it worse.
Would be nice if people learned to recognize the bait *before* the switch at some point

@GLaDTheresCake Wat voor mij altijd heel tekenend is aan de discussies op Tweakers is dat men chronisch incapabel lijkt om onderwerpen vanuit een maatschappelijk perspectief te bekijken.
Dan benoem je bijvoorbeeld een maatschappelijk probleem als gevolg van iets dat in het artikel staat, en dan kun je de klok er op gelijk zetten dat de reacties iets gaan zijn wat puur en alleen over de persoonlijke situatie van de poster gaat, en volledig voorbij gaat aan het maatschappelijke probleem waar je het eigenlijk over had.
Alsof iedereen iets dat boven het individualistische gaat, simpelweg niet kan begrijpen op een heel fundamenteel niveau.

Continuation of ereader battery replacement thread: I replaced the battery in my own ereader too (it's the same PRS-505 but in black), and I would like to remind you that we thought about batteries very differently back in 2007.
Did you forget that in 2007 you didn't have to plug your phone in every night? Remember the INDIGNITY you felt when you bought your first colour phone or even smartphone, and it sucked so much energy that you had to turn the screen off when you weren't using it?
Anyway, I put in a new battery and charged it five days ago, read for a couple of hours every day, and can report that last night the battery display dropped from four bars to three.
So that's probably three weeks between charges aye. On a 750mAh battery smaller than a box of tic-tacs.
Look what they've stolen from us. Demand better. We deserve better.
