CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?4·1 month agoIs there a TikTok replacement in the Fediverse? The main reason my wife uses it is because the recommendations are the best. Feel like you have to do more self searching here.
You can use an interface pad.
Yeah not sure about for curved surfaces, but planing flat surfaces will make it feel super smooth and ready to take a finish. Note that it can also be wood dependent.
Only sand up to about 200 grit. Any finer and the wood pores get clogged and will make it harder to absorb finish.

Alone I guess? In solitude. At least I wouldn’t be bothering anyone else.

I can set it up with my current carrier easily?1·4 months agoOh I’m saying this because I personally did this from an iPhone XS with a physical sim to a new iPhone with only eSIMs, so at least in my experience this works.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Excuse the old man question, but if I buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max outright, with no carrier. I can set it up with my current carrier easily?2·4 months agoIf you have an existing iPhone with T-Mobile, you can activate it with your previous phone which is much easier than calling customer support.

They don’t take highways and can vary in price, maybe more expensive on average. Can sometimes pick up and drop off a bit farther than a human driver would.
My wife like that you can change the temperature and there’s no pressure to talk to anyone.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What camera do you have and what is your favourite type of photographs to take?2·7 months agoOlympus E-M1 and I’ve basically just keep my 40-150 2.8 on it. I like to catch wildlife but it’s just useful to have since the range is not easily achievable by cell phones yet.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?1·7 months agoIn terms of driver development it’s more collaborating than just Windows releasing an API and the manufacturers creating the drivers. Bug reports from large manufacturers are absolutely taken seriously. Customers usually never see this interaction.
I would say maybe 1990-2010 was really a dominant time for Windows and that was also when they were actively improving, but now they have plenty of competition. It’s just that people have moved away from desktops. Mobile platforms are now an existential threat. Fewer and fewer people are buying desktops to begin with. Maybe Microsoft has given up on desktops and that’s why they’re making Windows worse.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?66·7 months agoI’m not sure Windows is a good example here since they’re historically well known for backwards compatibility and fixing obscure bugs for specific hardware.
Whereas Linux famously always had driver support issues.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you know any mobile games that don't suck?3·9 months agoYeah this is my goto time killer on the phone or tablet if I’m traveling. No need for an Internet connection so great on a plane.

Although I’m getting different numbers for the NY efficiency gap. It could be D leaning but other places calculate it as R.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel6·10 months agoDo you mean New York is gerrymandered in the other direction? The 2022 map is +4% efficient gap for Republican. So she has her seat dispite the gerrymandering going the other direction.
If it’s something I don’t really want to do then it’s 1.5x my current salary assuming 8 hours of work per day.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?3·10 months agoI originally switched because there was still a small flagship iPhone. However I stayed because it works just fine and iMessage worked better than SMS for whatever that time period was before people moved to other messaging apps.
Now I use an Android phone for work and don’t really see enough advantage for me to switch.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?1·10 months agoPokémon Puzzle League! Building up all the chains felt amazing! It’s a feeling I’ve tried to recreate it other similar games but haven’t found one with such a great implementation.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?36·10 months agoI think more research should be done as it may interact with the interstitium which is a relatively new discovery and may provide a scientific explanation.
Do you know her in person?
