🦆 🦆 fedi:
I want to make a PCB that could hold the following connector
could I put some surface mount metal pieces on top so the board can hold the connector in place? how do you call these parts? I tried looking on AliExpress, not found something that looks like what I want
I could not find the original specification of the plug, but according to my own measurement the pins have a diameter of around 4mm (measured with ruler, imprecise)
boost appreciated
food
The new(?) no-added-sugar chocolate at Lidl is very nice!
It seems to be super similar to the very tasty fairtrade/organic chocolate that they used to have in the past?

ableism, the second rule of thumb we want everyone to learn
ableist insults are still ableist even if you're insulting yourself. including the intelligence-based ones.
it goes against both self-loathing and social modesty, yes, but you're just going to have to learn to accept your mistakes and idiosyncrasies and find new, healthier strategies to acknowledge your fallibility. we hate it, too.

ableism, the first rule of thumb we want everyone to learn
don't use medical language as an insult
that's names of personality disorders, developmental disorders, widely-documented neurodivergences, classes of injury, none of it
go ahead and get rid of references to drugs, too, while you're at it
talk about what people do and are doing and keep doing, not about what medicalized group you assume is sufficiently inferior to 'normal' people to do what they do

hey did you know that since 2017, the PNG format officially supports embedding EXIF metadata?
did you know that even prior to that, because PNG is an extensible format by design, tools like ImageMagick could preserve EXIF metadata when converting to PNG by embedding it in a nonstandard chunk?
in the context of some of my recent posts, can you see where I'm going with this?

Welkom op mastodon, vandaag hebben we het over orgels
"De [Voetgangersvereniging] werd in 2000 opgeheven in verband met de fusie met twee andere verkeersveiligheidsorganisaties: Veilig Verkeer Nederland en Stichting Kinderen Voorrang. Ze werden hiertoe gedwongen door het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat, dat de organisaties subsidieerde. [...] Ondanks de intentie van de fusie verdween de bredere benadering, waaronder bijvoorbeeld de specifieke behartiging van voetgangersbelangen steeds meer uit zicht. [...] In 2012 vond een verdere reorganisatie en verdere koersverandering plaats waarbij de laatste medewerkers van de kleine fusiepartners werden ontslagen."

Today's dinner; almost entirely vegan, though my burger (out of 4) has dairy cheese rather than vegan cheese. Contains mushrooms, onion, bellpepper, cucumber, some chard leaf from my own garden(!), and a nice well-spiced sauce!

This has been said many times, but it's worth reiterating...
Dysphoria is a pretty counterproductive framework for identity exploration. It mostly tells you *that* something is wrong, but usually not *how* it's wrong. It can be unclear where to even go from there.
Euphoria, on the other hand, tells you *how* something is *right*, which also implicitly tells you what's wrong. This gives you a lot more information, and is much more useful in finding your identity beyond an abstract "not this".

The Friedman Doctrine is one of the most dogshit ideas in human history.
("Residential proxies" are the thing that they use to come at you from home user IP addresses when you block their servers, to try and evade your block and become undetectable)
It occurs to me that even if we can't *prevent* LLM companies from scraping by blocking their IP ranges, doing so en masse will certainly make it very *expensive* for them to continue scraping, because residential proxies are not cheap

Don’t call the messenger (transitous) “trash” please, especially since the träwelling database now has sooooo many more services
Words have consequences, and if you’re framing a community-maintained data source built from the hard work of a few individuals “garbage”, it won’t get any better - rather you’re putting people off from fixing the issues!
It’s especially annoying to see this from techy folks, especially those close to open-source projects, or those who use them - don’t make the space more toxic than it is ffs
