Where’s Jesus when you need him?

Keep them lubed!

Don’t forget that you’re supposed to use that protection during sex

My understanding is that it flows down from Canada. Vermont has a bad opiate problem partly because it’s so available there.

I agree that the part design is superb, especially coming from the Prusa MK3S. The Voron build manual blows Prusa’s out of the water. I find the whole thing way more intuitive and enjoyable to build.

Fortunately for me, Linux and SBCs are well within my wheelhouse, and that was one of the primary reasons I chose to build a Voron.

Plenty use it without knowing as it is what the Steam Deck uses in gaming mode.

Hey congratulations! I hope you enjoy owning a printer!

I had a very similar experience building my first printer (a Prusa MK3S) a bit over five years ago. I’ve rebuilt it a couple of times since.

That experience is serving me well as I build a Voron 2.4R2 (with ASA parts printed on the MK3S). The learning curve part appears to be largely behind me, and owning the Prusa did help ease that since they make a lot of things pretty easy.

There are some great people here. But unfortunately many are suffering from hard times (that’s me too). It makes for tense vibes. The anger is boiling over everywhere online, I’ve largely stopped participating everywhere and switched to lurker mode. (To be clear, that’s not because I think I’m better, but because it’s not hard to bring out my combative side, and I’d rather not contribute to the problem.)

Do you remember ptz? He and I spoke about the health of this fediverse some months back before he shut down his instance, and we both had the same opinion: things keep getting more toxic here, and Lemmy lacks both the technological solutions for moderation at scale and the community leaders we need to build a better place. One of those can be solved with programming, but the other cannot.

Rule enforcers are not community leaders. Most often the only time I see a mod account is when they’re enforcing a rule. They largely aren’t submitting content and then participating in discussions like normal users. And rules are good (in the communities that actually have some stated rules), but a healthy community is always anchored around interesting individuals who contribute to the subject matter and experiences of that community. Regular users do often take this role, but to have that sort of space created for those users, the founders/mods have to do the hard work breaking that ground. We just aren’t really seeing that here.

(I’m purposely being vague and leaving out specific criticisms because that’s beyond my point and it’s a systemic issue anyway. It’s also not productive to name names because the issue is complicated and we really do need better mod tools first).

These things taken together mean that the best community members don’t stick around. FlyingSquid was a huge participant, and I feel that his exit immediately damaged the quality of Lemmy. We’ve seen that a few times now, and I don’t think the network has recovered.

The bots and astroturfing are out of control here, so if those can be combatted, mods get better tools and enough good community leaders migrate here, then Lemmy might become a lot more like Reddit was during its heyday.

The problem is just not easily solved, and unfortunately I’m not in a position to help even though I’d dearly like there to be more positive online communities.

Ah, I see this is where The Book of Boba Fett got the design for that weapon

Sure, Tracy. Yeah, you can use my computer. How else are you gonna do it?

Would you like a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

I would take it as a compliment even though it wasn’t meant that way. Your writing is so thoroughly organized that people assume a tool wrote it instead.

Amazing for its time. Having a portable version of it was extra great

Definitely. Perhaps the only good use of those movies.

Fine! I’ll just replicate another!!

You’d be surprised. I worked for Blockbuster Video multiple times, and there was a population of customers who LOVED the ripoff versions of movies. Snakes On A Train for instance.

I asked one of these customers one time what the draw of these movies was because he knew that they weren’t the originals. He told me that they served as something he could put on in the background and not feel guilty about only half paying attention to it.

I guarantee that guy is streaming that same garbage constantly today.

The scientists:

I would like to see that port. Parodius is a great game!

Earthion is proving to me that the Genesis / MD isn’t done yet!
