I’m one of those creatures that flattens out fizzy drinks before drinking xD

Air-up water bottles. When I bought mine it claimed to be a better water bottle all-around.

Its primary gimmick of tricking the brain into tasting the scent works well, I did drink a lot more water without needing actual flavouring. The fact that I could (unofficially) 3D print my own reusable flavouring pods to be a little more eco-friendly was a nice surprise and the reason I decided to try it.

The “better bottle” part is utter horse crap. It leaks when tipped over, even when tightly closed. Their marketing team went as far as adding “sip, don’t tip” to the instructions instead of making the cap properly seal.

Drinking from it was a chore as there was no water pressure and the constant bubbling (lets be real, its more like wet fart) noises made it impossible to use in silent settings.

I ended up going back to reusing a disposable bottle until it leaks even though the thought and feeling of something flavourless being in my mouth is revolting (its a sensory thing).

FOSS and FLOSS are political by default.

Never thought I’d see microscoff astroturfing on Lemmy. We’ve made it!

Thanks for the new words to filter on here 😘

I use a combination of PiHole via a VPN to my home server and Orion browser.

Its greatly improved my experience.

THIS a thousand times. World of Warcraft became dead to me when it implemented voice chat in the game’s client. I can’t hear well enough for voice chat and while I can speak just fine, I refuse to buy peripherals so that the hearies can feel superior with their lack of environmental awareness.

@OP needs to check their privilege.

The Talos Principle video was interesting to watch, thanks for the link! It shined a little bit of light on automated testing.

Theres also someone on YouTube who has been teaching an AI on how to walk and solve puzzles on its own, the channel name escapes me and I’m nowhere near a working computer to look it up at the moment :(

I’m sure you could end up writing a test that’s bad in just the right way to end up doing more harm than good, but I do think that’s the exception(heh).

That’s exactly why I’ve asked. That is where I’ve gone wrong with TDD in the past, especially where any sort of math is involved due to being absolutely horrible at it (and I do game dev these days!). I can problem solve and write the code, I just can’t manually proof the math without external help and have spent countless hours looking for where my issue was due to being 100% certain that the formula or algorithm was correct >.<

Nowadays anytime numbers are involved I write the tests after doing manual tests multiple times and getting the expected response, and/or having an LLM check the work and make suggestions. That in itself introduces more issues sometimes since that can also be wrong. Probably should have paid attention in school all those years ago lol

Doesn’t this rely purely on the fact that the test is right?

Yikes and a big hell no! Reject, uninstall, and review bomb that fucker into oblivion.

Buying a proprietary 3D printer with internet connectivity. What could possibly go wrong?

Going by the linked forum post, Anycubic has been aware of it for two months. Any competent FOSS project would have nipped that in the bud on the same day it was discovered. Incredible.

There’s someone running around lemmy with a creative commons sharealike link as a signature. Quite funny to be honest. I can’t remember the username though. They’re bound to show up sooner or later :)

We can’t even agree on basic rights for the humans and animals we have on this planet right now. It’ll be a District 9 situation for sure.

For sure. With the world moving towards fully digital records that child is going to be absolutely fucked in the future.

Born outside of the hospital system with no record of the birth. Essentially an unregistered individual.

It already is illegal, and euthanasia while “tolerated” is also illegal to perform by a medical professional.

What are they going to do, arrest a corpse? Fine by me.

If you post the magnet link I will put it on a seedbox and forget about it for a while ^^

I dealt with it by choosing to not have kids years ago. I didn’t ask to be born, and I refuse to force that on anyone else.

Once things become too difficult, I’m pulling my own plug.
