Poplar coffee table with pine base
  • Looks good. Poplars green tint is a pita to deal with. Usually it’s painted. Nice to see a clean stain and grain.

  • Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend.
  • If he had bought a sheet and ripped his own slats on a table saw it’d have been cheaper. But then he’d have to have a table saw. Fabrication is mostly front loaded. If you aren’t equipped for it then economies of scale is working against you.

  • US Supreme Court blocks student loan forgiveness plan
  • I am really getting tired of many of these cases where they are based on theoretical harm. It’s like my mother-in-law arguing about 5 things that haven’t happened yet. Possible. Probable. Reality.

  • Meta's upcoming AcitivityPub-enabled app Threads will only come with an "import from Mastodon" option. The new network won't federate on day one.
  • Remember when Microsoft tried to take over the web standards? Remember how that turned out for them? I’m not saying you shouldn’t have concern but the take over and extinguish takes a true majority adoption and in this age we get more fragmentation than we really see true consolidation. Not that it can’t happen. But possible vs probable and all that.

  • What are you doing with your backed up data?

    Using PowerDeleteSuite (https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite) I pulled my 16 years of content and overwrote it with a message that the content had been pulled due to the consistent closing of source, disrespect of mods, their tools, and the communities good will in content creation I've seen since '07. So now I have this big booty json file with all my history.

    Thoughts on what to do with it besides just toss it in an archive locker I might feed into an LLM one day to get random data from?

    Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
  • Deleted 1000 day before yesterday. They are all back. 💩

  • I’ve been a Reddit subscriber since 2014. Hell. Tie in api access to your sub.

    On npr he said the api price was the price. Like what a non answer. He then cited the entire running cost for the cite but nothing about how apis use it. Nor how google and MS have had to have their own infrastructures built out for them.

    It’s just stupid. I unsubscribed and deleted all my content for 16 years. I may be a minority but I will just abuse their system now with blockers and use them as a one way resource when I’m led there. I did not appreciate his characterization of the users or Christian.

  • I just hate that Spez continues to act like 3rd parties didn't offer or cite reasonable examples and costs for api access. No one was saying cost was not an option but it was a ludicrous cost and an amazingly short timeline that started the whole fiasco.
