IMO Librewolf ain’t simply Firefox, and I don’t think folks would say this if they gave Librewolf a chance. A lot of the corporate cruft/AI-adjacent stuff is removed, it’s not just a reskin with adblock. It’s a holistically better browser experience.
Edit: removed unintentional double negative
Bosch is very good too. Festool is great, but crazy expensive. Milwaukee & DeWalt are good too. But Makita is the best, especially the ones actually made in Japan
DeWalt is good, imo them, Milwaukee, and Makita all make great tools. Bosch and Festool are also good. But Makita is my favorite for the reasons mentioned above. Btw, you can get adapters to use different brands’ batteries with different brands’ tools…
I think it’s funny when conservatives say stuff like this. Like. Your kids are gonna grow up hating you & diverge from your reactionary ideology as soon as they can. I encourage you to have more!
Bandcamp was cool but then it got bought out by Epic. Truly, soulseek piracy is the only morally acceptable option
I’m usually not a brand loyalist, but when it comes to tools, this is a Makita family.
No other tool company publishes open schematics for all of their tools, so they can be repaired with generic parts instead of expensive “replacement parts kits.” Every other tool company is traded publicly on the stock market and vulnerable to enshittification. Makita is a large, but still family-owned, union company in Japan.
Lots of companies focus on ergonomics & power, but only Makita is focused on low vibrations while still making tools that are just as powerful.
But most of all? They’ve stated that destroying two-stroke motors in yard equipment is one of their main corporate goals, and so for both environmental and noise reasons, this company has my loyalty forever. Makita corporate? Hit me up! I will sell the fuck out of your tools.
The contractor bags are WAY tougher than normal garbage bags, too
They are using the plagiarism machine to plagiarize a commercial product owned by the most litigious media empire on earth. But whatever
Speaking of, if you ever get to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, make sure to check out the tombs of the craftsmen who actually built the tombs for the kings. They’re just outside the Valley of the Kings, arguably just as beautiful, and mostly ignored by tourists.
See this is where I’m like. For $9,000, you could have just purchased a Switch and a legit copy of OOT. Heck, you could get a vintage N64, old cart, and a CRT TV for less. What is this kid doon??
They said in the article that this kid was making new accounts whenever he would hit the “monthly max” on his old accounts, implying that the subscription still only gets you a certain amount of tokens. I dunno personally because I’ve never used this stuff.
That sounds like a cool setup, what kinda stuff do you use it for?
People say shit like this all the time, and it always irritates me.
“We built a house down south.” No you didn’t, you hired a contractor to build a house for you.
AI has certainly made it worse, though. I keep having conversations with people where “I’m writing a novel” somehow turns into “I’m having ChatGPT write me a novel.”
I’m a carpenter, so I don’t work from home or in an office. However.
If your job could be done in a WFH context and you would rather be in an office, respectfully, I absolutely cannot understand where you’re coming from. Working from home sounds awesome.
What you are describing is specifically why I left programming and became a carpenter.
Somehow I doubt he would have sued them if he won.
If they were intelligent, they wouldn’t want to destroy the world, because they live in the world. In this way, intelligence is tangentially related to morality.
I also stopped using autocorrect awhile back and don’t miss it. At all
I’m great at both, and they feel pretty similar to me. Never understood this attitude, personally.
I’ve been a professional cook and worked in bakeries. It’s all just kitchen work. Lots of “cooking” recipes end up in the oven at some point, lots of “baking” requires prepping various ingredients on the stovetop. Also hot take but most home bakers aren’t even very precise. Pros measure by weight, not volume, and adjust the heat and bake time based on ambient humidity and temp…
People just lack experience, IMO with some reading and practice, any good baker can be a good cook and vice versa.
I tell people all the time, feudalism never really went away, it just became capitalism. Folks try to argue and I’m like “so did you or anyone you know pay any rent to a landlord lately? Interesting word, lord.”
