A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend to follow the ceiling contour and wouldn’t need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.

cut straight.

Well there’s your problem! Unless you’re prepared to skim coat and flatten the ceiling, you’ve got to scribe your trim to it (and even then the result will be “less bad,” not “good”). Straight won’t work!

You can’t do trim on trim because it’s too much ornamentation for those modernist cabinets.

This is a perfect example of what folks often don’t understand about modernism: they think it should be cheap because it has simple shapes without fancy ornamentation, but they don’t realize the ornamentation hides all the crimes. To do modernism right you have to have precision instead, and that actually costs more than fancy trim.

Frankly, the drywaller needs to be called back in, because he didn’t understand the assignment.

Nevertheless, if you want to say it’s not “mostly,” your example ought to do better than 42%!

What the fuck is your problem? Words have meanings.

Yes, anything over half is literally what “mostly” means. Doesn’t matter if it’s 99% or 51%.

TIL 58% isn’t “mostly.”

They’re not. They’re supposed to use their wheelchair on that same infrastructure that’s great for human-scale wheeled vehicles.

Nobody who’s actually disabled believes that. Knock it off with the dishonest faux white-knighting.

“Gender transition treatments” or puberty blockers? Because actively causing the transition to one gender and merely blocking the development of the other one (to stall for time until the real decision can be made as an adult) are not the same thing.

A huge part of the absurd hysteria about all this is based on misrepresenting a non-decision as a decision.

Allowing children to be treated with puberty blockers is the conservative course of action, not the radical one.

Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most?

I think it’s because JavaScript devs have a more promiscuous culture of code reuse than most. In what other language community would something like left-pad justify being its own package?

Excuse me, but !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world is a different community.

I upgraded last spring, mainly because I was worried about prices going up due to tariffs:

• 1700X → 5700X3D
• 32GB DDR4 →64GB DDR4
• 512GB NVME → 4TB NVME
• Vega 56 →9070XT
• New case and PSU*

Turned out the tariffs weren’t as bad as I expected but the AI buying spree I didn’t anticipate was even worse (and expected to last for a long time), so now I slightly regret not going all the way for DDR5. Would’ve been an extra $500+ back then, but would be an extra $1000+(?) now.

I also almost built a solid-state NAS with one of those cube-shaped Beelink mini PCs, but missed my chance: the SSD prices started spiking while I was waffling over it in my online shopping cart. Even the mini PC itself costs nearly double now what it did then, let alone the storage for it.

(* New case because I got the wrong 9070XT under launch-day time pressure and the 2.5-slot card didn’t fit in my 2-slot ITX case, and then new PSU because the new case required SFX instead of ATX. I could’ve gotten a bigger case for less money, but I wanted more portability in case I need to flee the country on short notice to escape fascists. And yes, that was my actual thought process. Thanks, Trump. 😡)

“Mildly” only because I’m pretty sure it’s already illegal. Still, fucking absurd that they even have the gall to try.

He should unionize the staff before he leaves.

Well, you sure sound upset, and you’re downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so…

You’re the one who’s upset about it.

One of @FauxLiving@lemmy.world’s comments linked to a bug report about it. Turns out the real reason is that Krita uses a plugin architecture that allows additional file types to be supported, so it can’t actually know the complete list of MIME types to put in the .desktop file at application install time.

Krita makes it possible for plugins to extend Krita with additional file format support. Those plugins come with a desktop file that tell the desktop that krita can load those file types. Of course Krita’s main desktop file cannot have the full list of supported file types, because that’s implemented by plugins. Most of those plugins are shipped with Krita, but that is not necessary. People can create extra import/export plugins that still need desktop files so your desktop can know that Krita can load this file format.

I’m not completely convinced that’s a good reason (compared to, say, having each plugin installation modify a single krita.desktop file or something), but I think it manages to upgrade it from “indefensible.”

Why don’t you file the bug report, since you apparently feel so strongly about it? Instead, you’re not even complaining but meta-complaining, which is even worse!
