Ah. Seems like the effect varies from person to person I guess. Are there any studies on it? I’m kinda interested now.

What the fuck did you do to your text? It’s impossible to read.

If they do block this then it was never about anti-cheat.

The burger is fine, but the sides are usually amazing.

Yes. I understand that and I’m well aware of what you’re describing, that is why I said I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me.

I’m saying I enjoy this aesthetic mainly for nostalgic reasons. I am not necessarily saying this is superior to current aesthetics. I do miss this era, yes, and you are correct that is more about me than the aesthetic itself.

That doesn’t mean this isn’t beautiful or pleasant in some way, and I don’t think it’s wrong to enjoy or explore older aesthetics even if it’s out of nostalgia.

I realize the way my comment was worded made it seem like a comment about the era rather than the aesthetic.

Edit: contradicted myself there. Sorry, it’s kinda hard to get a consistent thought out on mobile.

I grew up with XP as well, and while I’m still nostalgic for it, it just feels kinda flat compared to the vista/7 aero theme. Not really boring, but not as interesting as aero imo. Still a vibe though.

I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.

So far I’ve been able to run everything I need to off of it, and libreoffice works very well with office docs in my experience.

I did, yes.

I forgot to post an update but I found the source of the issue. Turns out I’m a dumbass and I accidentally loosened my extruder’s tension arm.

Thank you. I recently replaced that gear as well, and the problem has gotten a bit better. I’ll be sure to check everything you just mentioned.

I tightened the tension arm and now it’s clicking when it reaches a piece of filament that isn’t extruding fast enough. So I think that means it’s an issue with the hotend not heating the filament fast enough. I’ll check the friction of the mod though just to be safe, and I don’t think I ever calibrated my E-steps, so I’ll have to do that.

Adjusting the tension arm seems to have helped a lot, so I think you’re on to something.

It’s metal, and it seems fine. I’ll try adjusting it for a bit more tension and see if that works.

Edit: nevermind it is plastic. But still, seems fine.

So every boomer on facebook. Got it.

Honestly when it works it works wonderfully. Most of my problems with my ender 3 come down to me being a dumbass and not taking care of it properly, and/or just the nozzles they ship with it being cheap as fuck and impossible to cold pull.

No joke my first ever successful cold pull was 2 days ago, because I had finally gotten a decent set of nozzles.

If you want to get really serious about printing there are better options out there, but for the cost they really are awesome beginner printers (to be fair I haven’t kept up much with printers, so I don’t know many other good cheap ones). I mostly only dabble with printing, but my ender 3 pro that I got like 3 years ago has served me very well.

I don’t get why this is specific to millennials.

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

Fontawesome and its consequences have been a disaster for web development.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

I don’t get why people hate semantic whitespace. The whitespace would be there anyway, and if anything it’s easier to read as long as you avoid 15 nested if statements, and you’re not using a dynamically typed abomination like python.

S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

In all honesty, I can understand the reason people love s-expressions, but to me they’re just unreadable at a glance.

That’s not what the meme is about? It’s about how everything is marketed as AI these days, even if there’s no machine learning involved whatsoever.

My favorite example

“My laptop died before I could push these”

Not a good commit name I know, but my laptop stopped booting and I just really needed to continue from my desktop.

It’s a student project anyway.
