What "this" is she referring to?

This is literally the "safe systems approach" encouraged to be adopted by DOTs. It assumes people will make mistakes, or otherwise just be "idiot trashy human beings" as a fundamental principal and then designs a transportation system from there. So you end up with separated, protected bike lakes, neckdowns, speed humps, and bollards out the ass.

What if I just never connected it to the internet?

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, and I disabled the PIN too

When does "first" start? Or when does it get reset? I work from home some days and from the office others. I usually keep my computer on and browser open but I do lock windows. I guess what mean is why doesn't it hold onto the data from the previous day when I was working from home?

I just found out that Pass has offline mode from a recent email they sent and found language saying the same in the browser extension (see below). Proton is blocked on my work's network for some reason so as far as Proton is concerned I'm "offline", but I still can't access the credentials stored in the browser extension when I'm at work.

Can someone help explain?

And this is from their recent email

Because p is print. Also it's super convenient right next to c

Well I suspect the custom stuff that I'm going to design will be utilitarian in nature rather than artistic- replacement parts, organizational stuff, a little attachment to something, etc. So I'll want precise measuring tools. If I print something more artistic, I'll probably rely on models that already exist, like DnD minis or something.

I got the 30 day free trial of Plasticity and I'm a few days into it. I don't know if I'll be able to learn enough in 30 days to accurately assess if I'll ultimately get my $150 worth out of it but so far some YouTube tutorials are promising.

On the other hand though it is nice to have a common name. Like I'm in a group with the other parents of kids at my kid's daycare. Sometimes you want the name to be common, sometimes you want it to be individual.

 

My (first?) 3d printer arrives tomorrow. I've been researching for months. One category I've been looking into is 3d modeling software. They all have drawbacks (too expensive, too hard to learn, save files in the cloud, etc) but the one that seems to fit the best is this apparently new one called Plasticity. I'd be willing to spend the $150 and then decide after a year if I want to re-up or just keep the current version. Or maybe I'd upgrade every few years or something.

Anyway, there are a bunch of great reviews and tutorials but they're all over a year old, from when looks like the software was first released.

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with it and could advise if it's worth the $150.

Honestly it's kind of annoying. I want to name the chat after their relationship to me. Coming up with something that we all have in common with each other is a lot harder

 
 

I pre-ordered a Pebblebee and finally received it in June. It's now September and it's just as useless when it's farther away from me than I can throw it as it was back in June.

Are there plans to improve the network? Is it happening anytime soon or will my trackers remain worthless?

 
 

I'd like to get a Bambu Labs A1 with the AMS but I'll want a sturdy surface to put it on. I'm shopping around for tables with drawers and I'd like to know how big it needs to be. There are dimensions for the printer itself but it's hard to know how much more space I need to accommodate the AMS.

 

I know Pass is new and growing, but I always thought that maybe it doesn't auto-fill credit card info because expanding the field types that get auto-filled past Username and password is difficult. But now that we have identities (which I'm super happy about), I'm thinking cc auto fill is being withheld for security reasons or something instead of technical ones.

What do you think?

 

Most of my tomato plants are doing really well. But the one in the cage highlighted in red started failing a few weeks ago. I fertilized with some Miracle grow I had lying around and it didn't improve. Then I got some Tomato Tone. That did nothing. The plant kept getting worse and worse and now it's just a husk. I'm afraid blue is following next and I'm concerned about purple. Here's another angle for some more context. .

Any thoughts?

 

What percentage of Android phones are actually running it? I get that it's brand new and over time more and more phones will report the location of trackers, but are there any metrics on current "market saturation" (for lack of a better word)?

I just got my Pebblebee clips yesterday that I pre-ordered a few months ago. I wanted to test them out so I sent one in my kid's backpack to daycare today (which is a legit use case I had in mind when buying these, particularly when we leave him with a babysitter).

When I try to check on the location, it says "last seen at 7:45" which is when I dropped him off, implying that my phone was the last to ping the tracker. So that means none of the teachers' phones, nor any of the other parents' phones have pinged the tracker. It's not a big daycare but he's one of the first to arrive. There should have been at least 2 dozen other phones near his backpack since then. This brings me back to my question about how many phones would you expect to report the location of a tracker.

New OS for Pixel 3 (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by akilou@sh.itjust.works to c/android@lemmy.world
 

I have an ancient Pixel 3 that still works. I'd like to install a new, third-party OS. Which would you recommend?

I can see that there are many: Lineage, Calyx, /e/, Graphene, .... How do I make the decision? Can all of them work on a phone as old as my Pixel 3?

Edit: holy shit, I just installed Lineage OS on my lunch break! I've installed "alternative" OSes before on computers but never on a phone. I just followed the instructions (which were a little confusing as there were nested steps) and it's up and running!

 
 

I didn't plant it (intentionally) but it's definitely more than a weed. I'm letting it grow just to see what it wants to grow up to be.
