  • What is the most relieving thing you've done for yourself?

  • Cutting toxicity out if my life in general.

    I've blocked, unsubscribe, and filtered most email. I've completely reduced my physical mail to nothing because I don't need spam every day. I've cut out ads on my devices, I don't need to be constantly manipulated by companies. Speaking of, I left Windows like 2 years ago and it's been great. I also filtered most news out of my life because it enrages me and I don't need that stress.

  • New York State pauses its landmark gas ban in new buildings

  • Why would a data center need gas?

  • What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?

    Jump

  • Story on this one. As a young adult I needed gas to drive to my second job a town over, maybe 12 miles. I had $75 in my account which was plenty to fill up.

    When I started the process, my card was declined. I tried and failed a few times, then went inside the store and had them try there to no success. The cashier mentioned that the hold amount was set by the bank.

    Hearing this I went down the road too my bank and asked them what the fuck was going on, to which they said it was normal and that my funds were locked until the transaction went through. The 0$ transaction.

    I managed to scrounge up enough change and a single $5 bill I had in my wallet to buy like 2 gallons of gas which was just enough to get to work and back. Shortly thereafter I closed my account at that bank and transferred everything to a credit union I have been much happier with.

  • Now? They literally haven't been Worth fishing out of the couch instead of just vacuuming up and toss the lot for years.

  • My ability to zone out and get lost in my head is legendary.

    Although, I have used headphones for grocery shopping during busy times because music helps keep me from becoming enraged at stupid people.

  • So, the minimum number of anything you can order would be zero fingers or 1...

  • Does anyone know what's inside this building?

    Jump

  • Apple. There's no windows.

  • Can anyone recommend some extremely comfortable men's shoes that come in at least an EE wide width for every day wear?

    Jump

  • I second New Balance. 10.5 EEEEEE here.

    Which reminds me... I should order a new pair.

  • 72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study

    Jump

  • Say I sold a game for $10 on Steam and GameStoria. With the 30% you suggest I would take home $7 from Steam and $8.50 from GameStoria. I make more with a competitor who is willing to take less and of their instead wanted to charge more, Steam would be more profitable.. The consumer doesn't see anything but a $10 game.

  • I finally deleted 4.288 emails! How many emails do you have or you deleted recently?

    Jump

  • Good on ya, that's an awful lot of work. I did something similar years ago with 2,000 emails and it took forever.

    The thing to do now is stay on top of the emails coming in and unsubscribe or block any that remain. If you can stem the flow you won't need to purge again.

  • "Can you fucking not?"

  • People who prepared costumes for Halloween: how much money/effort did you put in it?

    Jump

  • Depends on the costume. One year I spent almost $200 on Wreck-it Ralph, but that was a pair of overalls and two shirts I can still wear. The next was like $1000+ on electronics and components for a LED wizard orb I spent a month making and like $20 in fabric for a robe. This year was probably $50 for fabric, cardboard, and tape for a terrible Ken The Butcher costume.

    What you do is entirely up to you and your situation. Cheap materials make it cheaper, but the costume may only be single use. The orb was stupid expensive because I went fancy and made an object that would last, but that's hardly necessary.

  • How to switch a 5V led lamp?

    Jump

  • I did a similar project with a raspberry pi pico w and a glitter lamp. I ended up destroying the surface mount LEDs trying to solder them in to the board and instead replaced them with my own. The stirring motor was good, and a button to control it from the outside was a nice addition. Put the whole thing together with ESP Home and it's fantastic. Also allowed me to switch from disposable batteries to a standard USB cable for power.

  • Fellow 'Fediversers,' what keeps you hanging on here despite the "FV" being a work-in-progress, with all its built-in, various bumps & difficulties to experience along the way?

  • The AI hype

    Jump

  • I literally was working with a user who was trying to copy a missing file from a screenshot of an error. They navigated to the folder, verified the file wasn't there, opened a new tab to grab the file off a server, then started trying to use ChatGPT to extract the path from the screenshot to document it for later.

    I instead just went back to the first tab and copied the path before he could think of how to word the prompt.
