Right?

“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.

Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?

Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.

Libwebkit isn’t actually chromium, it uses blink which is a fork of part of webkit. Understandable confusion though because webkit was part of kde, forked by safari, and then used by through chrome variants for a long time.

The rest of this comment is going to necessarily be nerdy Linux internals. sorry.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure chromium includes it inside it’s binary and does provide or use any webkit libraries.

Orca uses it internally for it’s browser so it won’t start unless it has access to the library. When you build a Linux app it includes the name of the library which includes the ABI (basically the version). Newer Linux release include a different version.

You can see how that specific library stops appearing in Ubuntu releases https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

The new version is 6.0 I believe.

Appimage is one of the ways you get around this distro problem by including the versions of libraries. That’s why they’re so big. There are problems with that like how big the apps are stale bundled libraries with security issues but I digress.

Orca hasn’t bundled webkit in the appimage and because of another problem/feature of appimage it falls back on the os library. Since new distros have dropped the older obsolete library version orca can’t start.

That’s a lot but I hope it explains the problem better.

I would like to help but my personal computer doesn’t currently have enough memory to compile orca so back to just watching warning people it’s a coming problem for them too.

That’s good. I assume you’ve got the old libwebkit installed somehow. There are a dozen reports around this though so it’s a pretty real problem. https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues?q=libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

Ubuntu but it also affects fedora https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/185

The image just isn’t being built correctly which is more a problem with appimages but the fact it’s still broken… Linux is clearly a neglected platform for them.

All the problems I listed have bug reports just nothings happening to fix them.

Appimage doesn’t start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included…

Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.

Does it work on recent Linux releases yet?

Thanks! That makes it weirder… But good to know it’s on my side.

I assume incompetence over malice. Which is to say it’s probably a bug or a mistake setting up the model. The user isn’t selling anything so it really seems like some sort of bug

Sure, I doubt it’s intentional https://www.printables.com/model/2676-ethernet-plug

No, went directly to the model from my download collection. The creator doesn’t have a store tab or a support me/club button.

The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let’s you turn it on or off.

I don’t know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they’ve made significant battery life improvements.

The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I’m using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it’s not on so that’s probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.

There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.

So privacy dead? No it’s basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.

I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.

Had great luck with polymaker and find they’re in the sweet spot of predictable quality and price for me.

I got a really good one from git-scm.com. literally every feature you can imagine including a bunch the official GitHub tools don’t even support.

Prusa has that option too. It does perimeter last by default because that’s safer when you have overhangs. It gives the external perimeter something more to stick too and not sag. In extreme cases it can even lead to printing disconnected overhangs first like the inner perimeter of a vertical screw hole which just weld to your support and make a mess.

External perimeter first does provide more detail though (specifically dimensional accuracy in the prusa help) and can avoid some artifacts so if it’s safe for your part it’s nice.

I prefer privacy badger because it does more then block ads and is generally a bit nicer to sites.

But really it was supposed to be a satirical comment on the state of the web anyways.

After waiting for the page to load, fighting through ads triggering redraws, dismissing cookie banners, closing the notification request…

It’s a toss up.

Yeah I love ploymax too. The pro prints thick though so you have to go hotter and slower. Their polylite PLA is still really great and has more colors so I like using it for for fast prototypes and things that don’t need the strength.

Honestly their petg is a go to as well. I found prints to be much more consistent and better quality than similar cheaper petg I’ve been tempted to try by Amazon deals.
