What do you mean pc’s aren’t faster? Yes they have more cores, they also clock higher (mostly) and have more instructions per clock. Computers now perform way better than ever before in every single metric most tasks, even linear ones, could be way faster

Shame that prusalink is so limited, I have an ender 3 running klipper and I can do absolutely everything remotely, preheating from my pc is so useful

Prusas don’t run locally?

It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it

I didn’t know!

Baby don’t hurt me

They can also just… Look up

He’s single handedly propping up the Lemmy user count

Even without years of experience, gimp is unintuitive, the affinity suite is so much easier to use

I believe sudo pacman without an argument works aswell

Ah yes, patenting laws of physics

Well you can just install that alongside your DE and try it out

Just got around to this game, you saying it was a walking sim made me less anxious, but man it did feel scary at times, especially near the end I got the creeps. Was worth it though, although the story was very sad

I hope my point has now fully come across. 👍

Yeah took a bit, I still don’t really agree as the cons outweigh the pros imo, but it’s all very subjective anyways

Cherry-picking is an issue when you’re trying to make an argument because you’re choosing a very complicated case on purpose when the more common cases are less complicated. That’s gotta be a straw man argument or something similar? I dunno.

Ignoring cases where the system brakes down is just as much of a straw man argument, if not more so than giving difficult albeit rare circumstances more attention. In my opinion atleast…

Did you mean to say something other than fractions here? If not, I’m confused.

Yeah I meant decimals, sorry.

I also agree that this isn’t really about metric vs imperial necessarily, although fractions are definitely more commonly used in the imperial system.

But common measuring devices rarely mark even fractions of cm. That’s the only issue.

Well then to be even more specific, electronic measuring devices pretty much always mark in decimals anyways, even for imperial. If I take my digital calipers for example, if I set them to inch, they’ll measure with 4 decimal places! Compared to only 2 on mm.

Arguing that inches are a more comfortable sizes is for one, very field dependent and second, my biggest issue with the entire imperial system; It’s mostly just based on vibes, rather than practical use or precision. We might have a different background but I have a background in design and currently work in the hydraulic sector. And let me tell you, hydraulic fluids at 300 bar (4350 PSI) don’t care whether something was made at exactly 1/4" or not, but they do care when the gap between parts is 0,1 mm (0,004 inch, also known as 4 thou) more or less

I don’t see how cherry picking is an issue when that issue literally can’t happen when you’re working with fractions, I also don’t think those sizes are particularly uncommon?

Yeah that’s fine, Death Stranding was amazing too and that’s mostly a walking sim aswell

I’m just saying that if you are working with some kind of base size, and want to do stuff in fractions or multiple of that base size, the inch is a pretty good size. 👍

I have a hard time understanding why you would prefer that over using decimal places to be honest, adding decimal places together is much simpler than different fractions

Well habits are valid and in the end a cm is just as arbitrary as an inch, but converting between units is just objectively easier with metric

Just try adding 1/3 and 5/8. In my field fractions like that are nowhere near precise enough anyways, so you’d need to work with thousands of inches, which just makes you wish there was a smaller unit like millimeters
