Collecting hobbies :)
When going on vacations abroad, we bring a power strip from home. With it, you'll only need a single international converter to power multiple devices.
If anything I feel less ashamed than when I was a teenager. I still love cute stuff, stupid humor and toys :)
First result:
I love it!
No idea if this is obscure or not, but for creating diagrams I've found draw.io a very useful free website/tool (there's an offline version).
The ability to hide the entire model inside the png is really neat. You can upload the png in a wiki and later on just import it to alter it again.
Not for AITA, but I once wrote a long emotional response to a relationship reddit repost without realizing it what it really was. Only after hitting send did I finally see. It really sucked because I thought I was helping the OP with some advice and comfort and felt like a huge idiot afterwards.
So, yea.. there's no real value in reposting these kinds of messages if you can't even reach out to the OP. And it just feels kind of scummy to be discussing these kinds of issues without the OP even being able to read along.
There’s a high pitched sound coming from one of the air ducts. It’s driving me crazy but no one else seems to hear it.
AI jank is half the fun, I agree with that.
Especially when it's too damn stubborn. I once tried to make an AI generate a movie poster about someone riding a giant scorpion. But for some reason the AI kept associating the word riding with motorcycles and refused to put anything but a motorcycle in the image.
I kept on pushing for my scorpion and finally the AI just generated this monstrosity to shut me up.
3d printing. I started out with a cheapish Chinese model, got annoyed by the lack of accuracy and bought a Prusa.
Then there’s the filaments, accessories, post processing stuff... I own a Dremel now for some reason!
And I’m constantly eyeing those resin 3d printers, telling myself the higher resolution is totally worth it…
The only thing saving my bank account is my low attention span and dozens of other interests :)
Crippling self doubt, what else?
I'm one of those Reddit refugees. I can't say anything about how things were before I got here, but I would like to add that I treat Lemmy a whole lot different from Reddit. When I joined there was plenty of talk about the lack of content, people only upvoting but not commenting, that kind of thing.
So I took this as a sign that I should be more of a participant and not the three-posts-to-my-name lurker that I was at Reddit. And I saw similar motivations with other users. So I do hope that at least part of the refugees have added a positive influence, and more so than they ever did when they were still using Reddit.
Arriving home with my newborn son. It was the first moment when it really sank in that I’m a parent and we have to take care of this tiny little thing.
It wasn’t a warm feeling but more of a fuuuuuck! What do we do? What do we do?! feeling. The enormity of the responsibility just overwhelmed me.
I somehow got through it and the post-natal care lady that visited a few hours later really helped with grounding the situation.
Anyway, it’s not a crazy situation for most of you. But for me it really felt like a “I can’t believe this is happening!” situation.
