You could always try Red Star OS

You guys have a middle class?

Rupert Murdoch is to blame for a lot of it.

In the current market, you want a printer that runs Klipper. The system will typically include a web application that controls the printer (Fluidd, Mainsail, or Octoprint) running on an embedded RPi. You just access this through your browser, it’s not necessary to install anything on your PC.

You will need to install a slicer software. The slicer is sort of the equivalent of a document editor - it’s how you prepare the 3D file for printing. Your printer manufacturer will probably recommend or distribute a particular slicer, but the file format used for 3D printing (G-code) is an open standard published by NIST. Any slicer software can be used to output gcode for printing - you can use whatever you feel comfortable with.

Personally I reccomend Orca Slicer or SuperSlicer but there are many options.

By the way, the entire market of home 3D printers grew out of the RepRap project that started 20 years ago. The original project was open hardware and software, and so almost all of the software in use today is open because open source principles were the foundation of all of it. There are some companies in the field who keep their stuff proprietary, but frankly I avoid their products and consider them to be anathema to the 3D printing community.

The more you tighten your grip, Google, the more users will slip through your fingers.

Hmm…

hmm…

I’m playing the remake on PS5. I think they did a pretty nice job with the graphics upgrade, and with the new tracks.

Crash Team Racing is the pinnacle of kart racing games. The driving is more skill-based than the leading brand name, and it doesn’t have shitty rubber-band AI.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is still great fun, easy to learn but hard to be good at.

Nothing compares to F-Zero GX. The abandonment of the franchise is a travesty, and should be considered abuse of the gaming community.

Someone else has mentioned M-Disc and I want to second that. The benefit of using a storage format like this is that the actual storage media is designed to last a long time, and it is separate from the drive mechanism. This is a very important feature - the data is safe from mechanical or electrical failure because the storage is independent of the drive. If your drive dies, you can replace it with no risk to the data. Every serious form of archival data storage is the same - the storage media is separate from the reading device.

An M-Disc drive is required to write data, but any DVD or BD drive can read the data. It should be possible to acquire a replacement DVD drive to recover the data from secondary markets (eBay) for a very long time if necessary, even after they’re no longer manufactured.

Yes, it’s the link in my comment above.

It’s a bad idea to compare Lemmy to Reddit or expect Lemmy to replace Reddit.

Slow growth is not a problem, it’s actually a benefit.

There is no hurry, and no need to push for high user counts.

Rather than trying to attract more people, focus on making your communities an attractive place to be.

PenDriveLinux or rufus or balena etcher (frequently just referred to as “etcher”) or just dd.

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything.

Of course they don’t pay, but getting on the list is fantastic advertising for your book and that pays.

They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

Jack Rhysider’s research on this suggest otherwise.

This is basically the same way you get on the NYT bestseller list - buy your own books.

Well my comment was a response to the comment above, not to the article, and in the context of “Kamala’s Thoughts” it is relevant.

ravhall’s point is good, that if a Democrat tried to share their ideology this way the response would be overwhelmingly negative. But on the other hand, we have “Truth Social” which might as well be labeled “Trump’s Thoughts” because he uses it as his personal soapbox. Political candidates owning social media companies should be illegal.

And on the other side, Donald Trump owns a social network, and yet no shit storm.

How the fuck did ethics become so asymmetric?

Hmm… Putin has a lot of loyalists, but he’s losing popularity especially with Ukraine gaining territory inside Russia… I wonder, if he were arrested out of the country, would one of the other oligarchs step up and grab power?

Thanks for pointing this out, I missed it. The book’s listing on CrowdSupply has an update from her from April of this year, so that makes me feel a bit better.

Did you change the nozzle setting in your slicer to 0.8? They usually default to 0.4

It definitely looks under extruded.
