  • Does Lemmy even know what EEE means anymore or are we regurgitating words we heard from some article now?

    So either all people of lemmy don’t know shit (you are not included here - implied) or only your assumption is valid: Wrong sources.

    What’s it going to embrace and extend?

    It embraces the Linux ecosystem and DX on windows. Microsoft is extending the Linux kernel and other Linux projects.

    WSL has existed for ages and is just a way to run Linux in a convenient container on top of Windows. That’s it.

    To you, yes. Can you speak for any project? Is there not a single project where the userbase are consisting of WSL users with compatability issues? Did you research about it? If so, prompt sources.

    It’s not an attempt to “extenguish” Linux, literally just make the development experience on Windows less painful so people don’t switch to another OS. This has nothing to do with EEE.

    Trying to bundle the userbase in their subsystem is literally rendering a dedicated Linux machine obsolete. If all would stay there the rest of the distro community would extinguish.

    Open sourcing it with a permissive license can only be a good thing,

    Can it? Contributing substracts work hours from other projects. So “only be a good thing” is wrong. There are more perspectives then just yours.

    and again they’re doing it to be more appealing to devs and maybe get free bug fixes from the open source community.

    You got sources about their intentions? You just said it: They are conquering the labor market of personal devs.

    It isn’t some grand conspiracy. But of course this community will react to news of “proprietary blob is now open source” with pessimism.

    Did you already review the code? No concerns left? How about pulling private servers for data? Is everything mirrored onto their servers? Any binary blobs there? Tracking/monitoring? Is it safe in regards of privacy and security?

    Hopefully you see that you ain’t holding all answers and opinions of the entire world. Cheers.





  • I understand you know how to change the step length that can be changed now, yes?

    Yea

    You say <2mm to 5mm. My very similar machine can go to almost 10mm but it cannot keep the thread very tight.

    I would die for 10 mm. I would be in to adjust the machine while sewing for any step lenght larger then 5 but 10 mm would be perfect.

    This is the limiting thing, the machine, every part, is designed for sewing a length of 2-8mm or whatever. A longer stitch step would need a complete change and probably a stronger motor.

    I can change gearings, leverages and axles if I understand what to communicate. I am not bound to the current chassis and motor. I can construct a chassis afterwards rezpecting current alignments within nm.

    By moving the knob or lever that changes the stitch step length, you will see what is going on.

    I circled the change in blue. Leveraging the handle could be the case but axles wind on their own. It is a mind fuc* which can only be put in perspective by Engineers, imo.


  • Edit: you edited before me!! But I don’t adress it yet, since you explain the context more professionally. Thank you in this regards.

    The machine is more then 40 years old. I attached the photo. The right handle adjust the zick-zack-width (I had to adjust the chassis to get it zero’d) and the left handle puts the needle ‘left’/‘middle’/‘right’ in the feet.

    I had to cut some chassis on the right handle to the left and adjust the internal screws so that the axle of stitch width is exactly above the front-needle of the geering. It wasn’t exact with a straight stitch prior to this.

    I may add again: Me or my friends are capable of changing any axle or gearing to nm but I do not know what to request in the first hand. Engineering is very, VERY, hard… :(








  • I just talked to my superior about the most urgent thing EU countries are facing currently. I should add that he is 100% disabled but studied in CS and reads everything which is interesting to him and his world view.

    When I said that social media dictates the discussions and the media, we agreed on the thought after a short period.

    And if we could solve this issue we mostlikely would get awarded a noble price.

    What I am trying to say: Social media is run by - at least - flawed people. And used by the evil ones to their maximum, putting the honest Ones into a position to explain.

    We are loosing our discourse, we are mixing our cultures - or we split at our ethics.

    Social media is a cancer with no current treatment. Civilians will be in favor of social media since it also benefits society directly. But we are diminishing other things with it.

    Maybe there will be one more brilliant mind educated who may aid us in these times.
