I do a lot of photography and I share it on my Pixelfed.

It's exclusively SFW.

  • I think since coming over here I've done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I'd say that's a lot of progress.

    I've done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.

  • I used it for awhile (I've been on Reddit for about 13 years)

    Honestly though pulling more away from social media is good for my mental health. And making the experience more abrasive so it's less of a passive thing is good.

  • In terms of sorting the "tankie triad" least bad to worst though it's definitely: ML, Grad, then HexBear. At least I sometimes have decent interactions with people from ML, can't say the same about the other 2 though.

    Edit: Actually put this as a reply to the correct comment this time. :/

    I deleted the other one as I replied to the wrong comment.

  • I'll still check sometimes on Reddit when I'm at my desk if I feel like it and I've got time, so like barely anymore.

    When 3rd party apps died I moved here.

    After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you'll get banned, I'm just waiting to catch ban over there.

    Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.

    Ain't no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.

  • NGL I usually only do component level repairs on the power boards (or in the case of appliances most of the components are easy to find docs for and are much larger) but I usually find stuff by poking around with my multimeter or looking for obviously blown things. But my experience is more from the realm of appliance repair (and all from experimenting).

    Testing capacitors can be done (and if they're big enough) something I'll do as well. I ain't gonna test capacitors that are smaller that a grain of rice.

    There are times though that it's easier to just buy a new board rather than do component level repair.

    Good news is that when it comes to TVs those boards are usually really cheap.

  • Usually if it's a charging port, it's pretty common that there's like dirt in there or something.

    But soldering a type C connector is pretty tough due to the size. Especially for my (lack of) experience level.

    It could be a learning opportunity for you though.

  • NGL when it comes to that kind of fault I usually just replace the mainboard, they're usually dirt cheap and it's a hell of a lot easier to swap that whole board than it is to poke and prod for an hour just to find out it's some 40 pin monster with micro-soldiered pins.

    The power board is usually what I do component level replacements on. The t-con board and the main board I usually just swap.

  • For TVs it's usually really simple, like internal fuses or blown caps. And a few with bad backlights or mainboards that are dead.

    For 2 of them it's been shorts in the LCD itself which meant I had to block the clock pin from the TCON board for the specific part of the screen with the short. Basically killing a line of pixels to get the TV working again. In general if the TV is 4k and smaller than like 45 inches you'll never see it unless you look for it.

    That's a super involved fix (involving A LOT of trial and error to find the right pin) but it keeps it out of a landfill.

    In general fixing a TV is always cost effective unless the actual LCD has physical damage.

  • I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?

    Jump

  • I'd say TPU

    It's a lot less gnarly than ABS and depending on the hardness you get can it can be anything from a pain to a cakewalk to print.

    Plus IMO it's got more uses due to it's durability.

  • In the last few years I've fixed about a dozen TVs, they can definitely suck to fix at times (especially the really new ones) but in general the fixes have been simple. And all of them were snagged out of the dumpster at my apartment complex.

    And that's just the TVs I've fixed. I like to fix things.

    In terms of phones they're a nightmare though. I'm keeping an eye on HMD phones and Fairphone though as both of them are a LOT easier to fix than other brands.

    In the event of my current phone breaking I'd love to get either one of those brands.

    We'd known each other for nine years.

    As is tradition at this point, it was due to politics.

  • I've got a few accounts for interconnectedness basically, Beehaw is fun but not being connected to the largest instance (lemmy world) is a bit of a hurdle.

    Personally I think I might make my slrpnk account my main one due to it's connectedness and having downvotes enabled. Don't get me wrong I dig blahaj but not having downvotes enabled is a bit of a sticking point for me. (though my blahaj account is the one I spent the most time on)

  • Each time I update

    So in general that's each time there's a new LTS version I want to update to. I don't so the nightlies or daily branches for most of my software and the ones that I do I basically throw some cash like each quarter or so depending on how much I use their software.

    Blender for example I think put about $100 towards it last year, that was only the second year I was able to support them and the first year (4 years ago) I only put $15 towards them. And Blender got the most I put towards a project last year.

    This year I've already put $30 towards Godot though. It's ahead of Blender right now in 2025.

    I try to do what I can, sometimes I can't contribute and sometimes I can. I like to help where and when I can.

    Unfortunately I may have to hold off for a few months as I just got a suprise bill for $1800 so it may be October (hopefully) when I can throw some cash their way again.

    I also contribute to some content creators I enjoy, though not as many as I'd like.
