In the United States, at least: There are retail stores - brick and mortar, I know! - where various “beauty supplies” are sold. Find one where they sell hair bleach etc. They will also sell hair shears.
I got the second-cheapest set they sold, for around $25. For our amateur purposes, these student-hairdresser-grade shears are more than adequate.
I cut my own hair probably 6-9 times a year, and those shears are still the sharpest things I own, fifteen years later.
(Shears are actually really specific cutting tools. Mine have only ever cut hair, which I credit for their long life)
Well, if republican politicians and catholic priests are any guide, this means Kutcher and Moore are almost certainly prolific child abusers.
EDIT: oh FFS, their org is THORN?!? The same group of wine mommies trying to destroy the internet with that awful and mislabeled “kids online safety act”?
Fuck them AND their parent-pandering bullshit. Scientologists are nasty business.
I too have played the disappointed and befuddled architecture evangelist. The counter-argument that inevitably ended these conversations was: “This is a business. We make money by getting stuff out the door. Demonstrate how the time it would take to rework this code base would correspond to an increase in profits, then we can talk about how your time and people budget is impossible to justify.”
“Pretty behind the scenes” doesn’t make any difference when you’re focused on getting people to build you a moneymaking machine as fast and cheap as possible.
I think the headline is framing this wrong. Apple is not threatening to kill these services.
Apple is refusing to break their services just to accommodate broken, stupid laws written by a broken, stupid parliament.

I don’t want to recap the FediDrama here (drama recaps have a way of becoming drama themselves), but I suspect it’s the reason he’s taking a break.
I’ve never met @dansup but I know he’s contributed so much to the Fediverse and OSS communities. I am still a newb myself (Twexit era). But - for the good of the OSS community - would it be too much to ask we show some respect for the pioneers who got us here?
Absolutely resonant with my experience. I see Injustice and it becomes an obsession, a “cannot un-see” problem, which my mind simply can never ignore again.
At this point in life, thoroughly burned out, I feel like one of those wizards who lost their mind while questing for knowledge.
The number of photos I’ve seen of completely melted filament rolls, due to either poor oven thermostats or inattentive users … I cannot endorse this technique.
If you’re on a budget, probably better to just power up your heated bed, with a box over top, and dry your spool inside there.
Repurposed food dehydrators seem to rate highly, if you can find a used one for cheap.
I ended up biting the $40 bullet and grabbing a Filadryer S2 when it was on sale.
