Produce studies saying to say it’s not harmful, or be quiet.

My dude, that is not how epistemology works. You cannot prove a negative empirically.

Produce studies and I swear to god if it's that one where they say kids are scroiling Instagram for 9 hours a day when they report using it as a messenging application I will reach through the screen and strangle you.

Legislation should not be based on vibes ffs. I think Mark Zuckerburg should be hung in a public square and skinned alive for the evil he has wrought with shit like aiding genocide but there is not sufficient evidence that social media, which covers everything from usenet to lemmy to Instagram to youtube, causes harms warranting age based bans. This is a world where we allow coca cola and factory farming, "it's probably bad for some people some of the time" is clearly not the bar for criminalisation.

Whole thing is a moral panic. No good evidence exists of harms, but nobody needs evidence to believe what they want to.

You could like ban algorithmic endless feeds if that was bad, you could enforce content moderation standards if bad content was the issue. But no, this is just surveillance state expansion and traditional media handwringing being cheerfully assisted by the feckless "think of the children" crowd.

If you need stuff printed I, or someone more local, would be more than happy to help. Otherwise all the knowledge and tools are available for free.

God you're annoying. Everyone who disagrees with you must be an idiot huh?Fucking smug lib-arse shithead.

I'm not cheering Iran and if having nukes is justification for setting up hostile airbases inside territory and attacking civilians without declaring war again we're back to bombing London and Florida.

Yeah, when a country persecutes queer people they lose the right to defend themselves from countries building weapons caches in their boarders. Then using those caches to blow up civilians.

That's why I'm in favour of bombing London and Florida.

Do you see how fucking stupid you are?

This is no veggies no bedtime anarchism. Clocks aren't your enemy, being able to be organised is good actually. Getting mad at distance because some people hit you with a ruler as a kid is unserious.

The things I consider myself informed enough to answer questions on.

People should do this for stuff they generated with llms too. Realistically English needs evidentials, like tenses that explain the source.

Much unintentional disinformation would be cleared up if people stated the source. E.g. "I remember learning..." "Someone I trust told me..." "I heard an expert say..." "a statistical text generator emitted..." "a random internet comment said..."

Tried ball transfer units?

I've found Ruby balls ok sometimes but BTUs are where it's at. Expensive though.

How is trackball? I wasn't sure how easily layering would work giving up easy access to half the thumb cluster.

I strongly recommend checking verticle clearance for the microcontroller if you angle it.

I also strongly recommend living somewhere where asking for enameled wire with an enamel that can be burned off with solder doesn't get you blank stares.

If you can't do the latter Livingston sells scapels which work well to remove insulation in the middle of wires.

There are always lunatics, you'd go mad trying to please everyone. It's one thing to not promote harassment. But if you put something into the stormwater drain of the information superhighway it's flowing everywhere with the rest or the shit.

You'd get further cursing the rain for falling on you.

What could I learn from that?

The person has not built a dactyl, they have not used this dactyl which has several customisations, they have not sat at my desk, they don't have my body.

They're just stating something useless from a position of ignorance because.... why? If you don't know what you're talking about just don't say anything. 90% of the misinformation on the internet would disappear overnight if people followed that. As a happy side effect men online might learn some basic manners too.

I have a trackball, but for pixel perfect placement etc. The knobs help me draw badly with more precision.

I haven't noticed difficulty. Maybe because the layout is so different, maybe I will with time, or maybe I'm just better than you lucky :p

That's not helpful

Helpful, how? Obviously I am using palm rests because it is more comfortable than not using palm rests. If I have made them to a specific height one might imagine I had a specific reason no?

indeed. Layers like an onion or an ogre.
