Back before I blocked every type of ad, I would click through ads every time they pissed me off. I would click, let the page load, and click two more links within their page before closing it. Ad views cost them a small fraction of a cent. That click through cost them an order of magnitude more money. That is how AdSense works. All you have to do is get everyone to do the same and the entire system fails within a few weeks. No one cares if you whine to some low level employees. If you want to protest, molest their bank account like they do your time. They are actually extremely vulnerable if you simply understand how the system works.

Start a business adding proper sliding contacts micro switches to popular devices. Then transition to selling them preinstalled. Simply cut the power wire to the camera module and microphone. I would love to pay a little more for a device with a physical switch and an option for no screen side camera.

I was thinking the other day, if I decide to replace my battery in my phone, I am going to design a TPU phone case that integrates the rear battery cover and not installing the rear glass bullshit too.

Still, that does not fix everyone else carrying stalkerware.

Thanks! This repo’s readme leads to gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. This then references Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus. That is available from the above linked archive.org page.

This is much closer to the real reason I was asking, as this little clock is intended as a primer for understanding object tracking for both astronomical observations and local rocket launches or transits.

I was raised in a cult like religion and escaped it. I must now coexist with some of its believers or it will inevitably result in my homelessness and death.

The only two ways to combat dogmatic tribalism are either from within by infiltration, gaining trust, and leading, or by stimulating general curiosity and self growth in individuals. As a person grows, they will naturally question dogma.

Dogma is totally blind to all information sources from outside of the tribe. No amount of logic or emotions will override the tribal barriers of this collective dogma. In fact, opposition of any kind is a form of caring and serves to reinforce the tribal validity.

The opposite of both love and hate is indifference. If you are anything but indifferent, you are actually making the tribe and individual’s dogma stronger.

You must not care, or openly show resistance. This generally allows you to coexist with the individual outside of their tribal partition. Within this space, you may be able to stimulate a general curiosity that encourages self growth.

No one is able to force another human to learn or grow. Growth only comes from within.

You must also be open to tangibly supporting these people within your personal social support network. The cult’s primary authority comes from the mutually exclusive social support network. Even those that are more open to exiting the cult, are unable to do so as long as they are at a major evolutionary disadvantage of abandoning their personal mutually exclusive social support network.

I think personality compatibility has more to do with that relationship. I have very little emotional empathy, but plenty of cognitive empathy. I do not have narcissism like my parents and I am capable of independent thought and questioning dogma. All of this is totally incompatible with my family.

I don’t talk to my folks because everything is negative feedback and sadism.

I would be impressed if the servos are enough to power it. Skimming through a dozen pages of posts it was just the most interesting thing I spotted to try and post some content in a dead feed lull.

At one point a few years ago, I was following a UC Berkeley CS open course online. Nothing official, just following the lectures and posted stuff. I think it was getting into this subject with a custom version of the schema language. I stopped following along because I could not get a copy of the specific schema version and everything I tried was incompatible with what was taught in the course. Is that a better glue language for stuff like this on an operating system level?

slough. but it’s coulee.

Not making a couple of loan payments. As soon as a big player does this, everyone else will be on edge.

A layer higher? Expose Palantir’s role in Israeli targeting and manipulation that includes global espionage with Epstein and others.

An easier way would be to restore democracy by making the right to digital slavery – ownership and trade of the digital presence of a person for exploitation and manipulation – illegal. That is the profitable and massive political capital driving the machine.

The hub doesn’t have a negotiation chip to set the voltage correctly. It is likely presenting as a bus hub. Like if you do $ lsusb on Linux, you’ll see the hub and whatever is connected. That hub may be integrated into other chips or it may be stand alone as a peripheral somewhere on the board. It is basically like a digital cable splitter for the bus. It is only concerned with the data. The power is likely just passed through. For USB-C PD, it would need some complex additional circuitry to negotiate, convert voltages and do current limiting. The way the pins can be inverted by flipping the connector makes it logically complicated.

Yeah, fuck that. Devs need to change that bullshit yesterday. I sign all my mod actions with my name because this fascist fuckwit nonsense is garbage. If you can’t post your name to your actions, you are a coward with no right to lead.

I think it was ask hilarious chaos and news, but I couldn’t even figure out what instance it was on.

There are only 2 relevant web crawlers that everyone inferences either directly or indirectly. Everything is going through Google or Microsoft. These are not providing deterministic results. It is quite likely that there is no such thing as private results. If two people using two separate devices can get different results for the same query, there is no freedom of information and democracy is dead. Paying any privateer overlord to make the fascist system more palpable is pointless.

DDG is fucking awful now. I took a break from hardware design for the last 5 years. Coming back to it now, finding information like I did in the past is fucking impossible. Search results are 2 dimensional fuckwit level stupidity with no abstractive salting for depth or peripherally useful results. The results heavily favor commercially motivated stupidity. They do not cross into forums or social spaces where there is a wealth of information. The lack of depth is clearly manipulative for adversarial AI training.

I run my own models and I know alignment thinking at a very advanced level, and have done my own training and fine tuning. Search results are intentionally poisoning any form of data mining for AI training. In so doing they have totally destroyed the informative value that made these companies useful in the first place. I do not hate AI, quite the opposite. I despise the fuckwits managing these companies and their complicit developers.

Freedom of information is the most important foundation of democracy. Without it, democracy cannot exist. The obfuscation of search results is absolutely treason and should be prosecuted vigorously.

The same applies to AI alignment. Anything unrelated to the scientific AI Alignment Problem is immoral treason against democracy. To say anyone is not allowed access to information of any sort, no matter how offensive to some, is fascist authoritarianism. Democracy prosecutes those that cause substantive harm to other citizens. It is the freedom to know, and to choose for yourself.

Stupid people are dangerous in groups, like the most scary dangerous thing on the planet in the Holocene.

On YT, CHEP is probably one of the best references for basic Ender setup and use.

You are unlikely to have the issue overall, but there is a nonzero chance of having issues with any aluminum extrusions based linear motion system. It is only a serious problem for a single digits percentage of people and the problem is worse on larger printers.

When aluminum extrusions are manufactured, the tolerances of faces are really good. However the one factor that is poorly constrained is twist. The amount is imperceptible without a metrology setup to measure the deviation. In the unlikely chance that you have triple checked every part of your setup, and you are still having issues, keep in mind this is a thing that exists. Try swapping symmetrical components where possible to see if the problem follows the swapped extrusion. This is one of those issues that is nearly impossible to find on your own unless you know to look for it.

If you need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out directly, or post. I’ll help you any way I can. Happy printing!

I have seen a ship and a moose.
