We had a bunch of cheapo creality printers on wheeled tables at work. Some of the printers did something similar, so the wobbling was my prime suspect. But there was no correlation between fail and placement. It was printer specific.

Turned out to be issues with the z-axis screw and stabilizers. A good cleaning and, I seem to remember, a new bushing, was all it took.

Free lotion kiosk. I hadn’t thought about how that looks like free smorgasbord in Danish…

I’m not saying it’s not a good idea. But I’d rather have free smørrebrød than free smørebod

Nice try, I still ain’t gonna pay. OpenAI can go bankrupt without burning my money

I’m forced to at my job. It’s either outlook or outlook online, no third party clients.

Waddaya mean crusade? Have you accidentally seen one of my other tirades?

Anyway:

1. I dislike change. I know it’s not a good argument, but I don’t like change.
2. I don’t have a lot against dark mode, on a phone. But…
3. Running an IDE or word processor in dark mode screams unprofessional to me. I work in a well lit office environment, during the day. In a bright office I struggle reading in dark mode.
4. Using dark mode because you “don’t want to have your eyes scorched”, is the argument of a hobbyist, working in their bedroom.
5. I like to view my end product on screen. I’m not printing documents in dark mode, and presentations are more easily viewable with a light background.

It’s not an argument for or against dark mode, but dark mode seems like that time, back in the 90s, when people insisted on using a blue background for word processing. We’re just going in circles on this.

Then in the 90s, such restrictions were largely dropped in most languages, and symbol names ballooned in size to take advantage of this new freedom.

But with great freedom comes great responsibility. I think Microsoft went from digestion noices to indirectly advertising their stake in arthritis medicine. I mean my fingers ache just looking at C# or PowerShell.

What was so wrong about puts or cout? I know it’s not the most intricate functions, but going from a 4chr function to “Console.WriteLine()” is a symptom.

And as long as I’m already a riled up old fart, let me tell you about autocompletion. Why does MS have to autocomplete entire commands from ambiguous strings?

And the kids don’t get it. They don’t even write the code anymore, let alone understand it… I want coffee flavoured coffee, heavy metal and for dark mode to fucking die!

That felt better, I’m sorry for anybody making it this long.

Prince Akeem? Oh my goodness it is you! I can not believe it!

My dude, you cross posted 4 5times. We’re like 10 people on this platform. I understand your frustration, but not getting what’s on the picture isn’t really that interesting. You might as well cross post “water is wet, more at eight”

Edit: I miscounted

I feel like I just replied this a minute ago. Why cross post when lemmy’s so small everything hits the front page?

Nice try, I ain’t gonna pay anyway

That solution rhymes with both pitch fork and “stabby stabby”

Oh my, I’m getting an audience for my lunch break tug 'n dump session.

I think the dark truth underpinning geopolitics right now is that a 3rd world war needs to happen, and Israel, America, and Russia all need to lose in it.

Counter point: no.

We don’t need a war for that. Least of which a world war. If you want a war, you can keep it on your own property. Don’t let it spread to my peaceful corner of the planet.

I’m not putting money on a no-war outcome, but I still think it’s preferable. There’s a small group of ultra rich people, who’ll only grow stronger with war. It’s that exact group that need to know fear. And that group of western oligarchs doesn’t include innocent bystanders.

I bitched and moaned when office 2007 came out. Stupid ribbons. Still hate that shit. Only thing MS office has going for it, that I haven’t found elsewhere, is collaboration and Danish grammar check. I haven’t found proper grammar check in my native Danish yet, outside of ms office that is. But if my job decided to ditch its pricey office subscriptions, I’d be cheeringly installing libreoffice.

I do hope I get a chance to retrieve all my emails when I get shut out for raising an arthritic middle finger and telling Google to go fuck themselves when asked for ID. I got my gmail account when people still paid for invites. How can I be underage? I wasn’t even underage then.

Woodchipper, car bomb, garbage compactor, fire, a single large rock, multiple smaller rocks, open windows, closed windows and some force… The list goes on and on

Update:

• drum of boiling water
• large cat exhibit at the zoo
• thrown from a highway bridge
• snake pit
• drowning in a cesspool
• explosive butt plug
• fire ant
• flying with Tom Hanks in a movie

A bit exotic perhaps, but strapped to a rocket and hurled at a building.

I rely on Android Auto in my commute. A couple of weeks ago maps wasn’t displaying correctly, so I rebooted my phone. All of a sudden assistant was replaced… 30km later I pulled over and switched it back.

If I’m writing an SMS, I want it written, not start a dialogue with some temu hal9000 clone.

Allow me to point you at the inherent evidence that mentally competence isn’t a requirement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_justices_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States

That’s not aa much a fun fact as it’s just plainly self-evident

Gee Mr Gates, that’s a nice monopoly you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame, if that anti-trust lawsuit the AG is researching were to happen to it…

Does test mode unlock without the key?!? So it’s just “encrypted” with a generic key, and the unlock key is for authentication? That sounds insane, even for microsoft.
