I’ve seen Ender v3s being discussed in forums as hobby killers a few times. Most notable printers will probably take less fiddling.

Prusa works hard on their reliability not least because they dogfood their printers constantly, using print farms to produce printer parts.

Bambu printers are reliable appliances with a ticking clock.

the biggest Nanny State the world has ever known

What’s this in reference to?

This is exactly the conversation that happened in Parliament over the Australian social media ban and its absurd.

There is a broad recognition that in a regulatory vacuum corporate social media created toxic and addictive “engagement”-maximising algorithms that harm all facets of society exposed to them.

So a solution is proposed: ban it for children.

When exactly, did it become fine for corporations to actively and deliberately harm people as long as they were old enough? How about preventing the harm?

It would be just as easy for a government to ban opaque and engagement maximising feed algorithms. But they went with the option that allows “tech” giants to keep harming the less marketable 80% of the population.

You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option

How about Usenet (1980)?

Mozilla doesn’t run Thunderbird

I really hope this doesn’t impact the client too significantly. A substantial part of why I use Thunderbird is to keep out of these “ecosystems”.

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

You don’t happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that’s detailed, do you?

Bit of an interesting contrast with Amazon, who encourages leaking

Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.

For the topic of the thread I’ll throw in “toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them”

The only time I’ve owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

Wordless instructions make the world a more equitable place by making everyone equally frustrated

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

Making fake rocks with concrete

I already hate them for access gating based on unnecessary labour, and deliberately making access more cumbersome for people not using chrome and using VPNs

But what really peeves me off, even though it’s much less important, is that they don’t localise them.

Where are the crosswalks? What the hell is a crosswalk. How many trolleys in this picture? None, that’s a picture of a tram!

Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

Paru started as a rewrite of Yay by the main developer

Partitioning is something I don’t mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)
