Torx for anything that needs to be torqued or used with power tools, Robertson (square) for anything intended to be used with hand tools or more finer work (a screwdriver)

Ya Ikea standardized on hex because it’s cheap to mass produce. It definitely strips though.

Torx has slowly been gaining popularity in the US for a decade or two now, but sadly Phillips is still pretty popular and hex is pretty common also, you will see the square/Robertson screws a lot in electrical panels and in cabinetry but not super common at the hardware store.

The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you’ll see a torx screw in cabinets.

Square (Robertson) and/or torx depending on application. Square should be for everyday things and torx should be for anything mechanical, yes I know there is a big gray area in the middle there, but flat head, phillips, and hex need to go.

Can we all agree that flathead should be outlawed and Phillips needs to get phased out with a quickness

Switch to firefox

Or they just use incognito mode

Id swap the blades, it’ll probably be fine

Ahh, Lemmy shit post, makes sense now

That, and when switching from reddit to Lemmy I realized how toxic the relationship there was, and I just use all social media way less now.

The article and the autoTLDR comment both say they were approved to use turquoise

Or unix epoch time

Right, there is a potential path here that could be awesome, non transferable tokens that represent voting rights/karma, and points you can sell that could later be use as “gold” used to be used. But I don’t think that’s what they are doing

Ya exactly, which… I’m curious how they will transition moons and that whole community. There’s a lot of people heavily invested in moons.

They have been working on it and experimenting with it in /r/cryptocurrency for a few years now.

They have been experimenting with this on /r/cryptocurrency for a long time. I was a moderator in that ecosystem and am good friends with some of the mods there. I’ve always been weary of moons, but I didn’t think they would actually bring it to the whole platform.

This is definitely a paradigm shift that’ll be an interesting dumpster fire to watch.

I work on Ethereum related things full time (and love the core parts of it), but I also, like you, think most crypto stuff is a slimy scam. Stuff like this is exactly why. It’s a way for reddit to encourage bots to farm karma for real/fake money on garbage repost content.

I know crypto/blockchain in general is mostly hated in this community, and stuff like this absolutely does not help.
