Threads just started turning on federation like yesterday.

I'll move instances if we do stay connected. Considering this is the home of privacyguides it'd be weird to stay connected to the Meta datagrinder...

Holy shit, I mention him one time and the server gets updated within the hour

that brownie has a 1000% chance of being the strongest concentration of edible THC you've ever felt in your goddamn life

subway is that option for "we are on a roadtrip passing through Assfuck, Idaho and for some reason this town of 750 people has a Subway open at 8:30pm" lol

like, do you wear it while you're sleeping even? or just on a charger pedestal

I do have an old samsung Gear 2 that I don't use anymore. Could use that and skip pairing to my phone. I just don't wear smart watches, because I never wear a watch at all (blue collar industry habits, can't wear any bands that might get caught in moving machinery)

notifications do bother, i usually have DnD mode set up to turn on automatically. i'm not quite tin-hat enough to blame the 5g signal waves tho lol

....no?

I have some big red LCD shit from the 90s that i got out of a box at my parents house lol

Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?

Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time...

Step 1: download all Dropbox files Step 2: delete Dropbox account

The fact that you have to opt out of such an invasive overreach of privacy is asinine and should not be supported.

your mother started the load over! AYO!

i'm lucky because they don't exist around my part of the world, so I've just never bothered to visit one

looks like that lifelong streak will remain standing

mine has a backup- it's a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.

i'm sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao

you can simplify the entire modern economy down to "[corporation] is quietly ruining [object/service/everything]"

maybe some day people will eventually wake up to the reality that capitalism optimizes the efficient creation of profit, not the efficient creation of quality or quantity of products. in fact producing products or anything of quality is actively inconvenient to the profit motive- which is why you see subscriptions everywhere now.

Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you're in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.

If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it....

Yeah. A clock with a full backup battery (not judt time keeping) is on my list of things I should get but can't be assed to go look for.

then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass

He doesn't have a chance in the popular vote. He already lost it once (twice, technically). And with how polarizing he's become, only the more extreme fringe actors are outright supporting him, and those with real money want a "safe" candidate that allows them to keep grifting behind the scenes without causing such a big ruckus. He'll lose a lot of big donor support, and people are growing tired of the constant outrage news that he generates.
We've seen how he performs a symphony of a clusterfuck in a 4 year term, and not even the GOP itself is jumping right at the idea of embracing another 4 years of that struggle- they're waffling at the idea, and a lot of the extremist upstarts that got a foothold under Trump now want to knock him out of it so they can have their own moment of glory. But Trump was a one-time shot. He was THE face of "The Big Businessman, doing a Business" that appealed to the older, more bootstrapy kind of crowd that still unfortunately dominates the actively voting public. All the younger extremists are trying to parrot him and can't quite get away with the same level of "crazy" energy without looking actually crazy, since they don't have the gold-plated toilet of "American Success" to back them up.

But regardless of that, will every hard-right extremist fight tooth and nail to ensure he still wins, including but not limited to high treason, rushed gerrrymandering, voter intimidation (or outright slaughter) and the active dismantling of every aspect of democracy down to the local voter box level? You bet your ass they're gonna try here.

I've almost always used PrusaSlicer just because the only printers I had access to were mk3s+.

I've started playing with Cura though because A. i wanted some more complex prints that PrusaSlicer struggled to support, and B. We also got some creality cr-30's functional at my college again. So far I still feel Prusa is easier but that's likely just familiarity.

Maybe I am, maybe I ain't...

Damn I wish I had money

Mmm clothes smelling like dirt 🥰🥰

Yeh but then I just dismiss the timer and it is gone from my brain before my phone is even set back on the table

Reminder that Panera sold out to venture capital in 2018 and has been actively enshittifying their entire chain ever since

Leeches, the entire lot of them

Hmm. If the common wear items are commodity parts I'd probably be okay with it.

It being a high gear ratio direct drive is a huge plus too. I like my TPU.

I'll add it to the consideration list for next year's graduation present to myself. However without a multiextruder head or filament changer (I REALLY wanna do disolvable supports), it'll be lower on the list. Thanks for providing your experiences!

How much did it run you all in?

I'm a little iffy on jumping on the Chinese supplier train just because I worry about longer term parts and software support. Id rather support a based company like Prusa, except Prusa just isnt keeping up with everyone else in the features/capabilities department... But if the Chinese supplier's quality passes, it's hard to argue against.

Do I, though??

I prefer One Giant Onion myself

The design-model-to-print pipeline is really what I enjoy the most too. Very nice design work!

Feels like a lot of people get into printing but then just print existing models from online- which is valid, but missing out on a HUGE opportunity that is really what makes 3d printing useful.

Feels like it sometimes. I mean hell, the last time it broke I had to email Jonah to even get him to come look at it... to think it's managed to run this entire time with zero interaction or maintenance is scary.

One of those shitposts where I cannot tell if it is a legitimate real post or an edit

This is a weird timeline

then it's all fun and games till you've been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old

all my homies hate ?si= identifier codes

Finally an answer to the age old question.

Sure, but on these fully DC printers all the power control hardware is integrated into the main board and supplied from a single main power rail. You'd have to basically build a separate power control board with that would allow you to isolate those MOSFET's on their own power rail and then jump the PWM control signal over to it from the main board. Decent amount of electronics knowledge and skill required to pull that off.

Bet tons of electronics guys wonder why standard header pins are a pitch of 2.54mm.... sike! its just 0.100" !!!!

That's why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is "hey I'm here". Out of parentheses number is "hey I'm here. Let me in."

For actively downloading torrents they're an indication of connection health. If there's 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.
