  • He had a pretty killer Friday though to be fair

  • I do occasionally turn it on when there's waves of spam sign ups.

    But I know how off putting it is to a new user to have to wait and be approved for some site you're not even sure you want to join.

  • You're missing the point. Past of the message is you'd rather die than be taken.

  • *�HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING OOOOOOON�*

  • How it feels

  • I dunno if you're new here but we don't care for AI garbage. Do better.

  • They knew how to deal with Nazis. 👍

  • It's pretty open hardware I'm sure it would be very easy to flash it to Fairphone's OS

  • Any of them rich enough to vacation in the Maldives are rich enough to have left and divested of the place

  • Vampires

  • Final boss: agnostic vampire

  • Nancy is more representative of wealthy American neo-liberals

    Yes which is much closer to who the Dems are representing as a whole

  • What???

    What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn't pay for food, shelter, etc...

  • Basically, unless you legit haul stuff regularly.

  • Okay can we at least get him out of jail? Why bother answering if your answer will be so stupid.

  • Please tell me it's "Flurry" and you didn't actually name a cat after a McDonald's item

    please

  • You can compile iOS apps other ways.... But IIRC to publish them on the app store you're supposed to use XCode

  • I was reading about their big dispute(s) with Canadian border gestapo (on other Kanien'kehá:ka land to the west, kawehno:ke is what it's called, or "Cornwall Island" according to colonizers)

    They have an island that is in the middle of the river that splits the US and Canada. Used to be the Canadian border checkpoint was on their land. After some protest when Canada announced that their border agents were going to be carrying guns it's now on the north side of the river but since Canada claims that the island is still part of the country technically if you want to visit the island from the US you have to drive through the island without stopping anywhere or turning, head to the border checkpoint, then turn around. And of course Canadians have to cross through immigration on the way back. The Kanien'kehá:ka have to deal with the border anytime they leave the island even though they're already in Canada according to the Canadian government.

    Although I don't know if there's any border patrols actually on the island. Like do Americans really get in any trouble if they cross and visit the island without going to the checkpoint like they legally are supposed to?

  • The other 25% is buying expensive equipment/accessories, and the last 5% is finding out that the communities around the hobby are so cringe you don't want to be known as part of it.

    I don't like making new rules, however due to recent events I have unfortunately been forced to create this one.

    After a year or two of being scared of first layers it feels so good to not worry about them anymore!

    My Ender 3 S1 just does anything I ask of it now that I have Klipper and a glass/mirror plate and tuned it.

    It's kinda boring tbh 😂 I WANNA TINKER

    Virtual Reality @lemmy.world

    Using a Quest 3 just as an Android device is.... kinda compelling???

    Install F-Droid and Aurora store to get access to whatever Android apps you'd like. Pair a bluetooth keyboard and install your favorite apps.

    I can use voyager (made by the excellent @[email protected]), with a browser window a YouTube window, and more open at once and floating in my real environment with passthrough. You can interact with apps by literally touching them (controllers are def better when you need to be precise or you have the app far away but hand tracking is more than good enough to do anything). You can get up and walk around and carry an app/window with you.

    I'm writing this with this setup and thinking this could actually replace a tablet for some people. It's definitely better for multitasking.

    I've also tested the new Windows 11 linking and it works really really well. The latency is super low, low enough to fool me into thinking it's wired. And the screens ACTUALLY rearranging according to how they are in VR so your mouse

    The Lemmy Club will be going down for approximately 1 hour @ 01:00am Nov 21 to upgrade Lemmy to 0.19.7

    Skipped over 0.19.6 as I heard a bugfix quick patch was coming and it is now here. 0.19.6 has all the changes, 0.19.7 just has a few bugfixes. Very few user changes. There's now a "controversial" sort mode. Most other changes are back end stuff like improved federation performance.

    You can see the full changelog here.

    I've never had such good first layers. Replaced my warped ass Ender3S1 bed with a mirror.

    I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.

    Lots of stringing but as I understand that's normal for TPU. Printed at 225⁰C on a 30⁰ bed, stock Ender 3 S1. 0 retraction, 0.93 flow, 35mm/s for most speeds

    After an exciting round of feature articles, it's Progress Report time once again! However, a lot has changed. Dolphin has finally left the 5.0 era behind, and has entered the Release Era. Not only did we get our first release in eight years, but we also established a commitment to continuous releas...

    The Lemmy Club has updated to Lemmy 0.19.4!

    Sorry it took 35 minutes over my promised timeframe. My fault. I should've been keeping up my Ansible config not bumbling around manually. Then I would've known that I needed to uncap pict-rs' memory limit. Ah well we got there in the end.


    0.19.4 mostly changes things in the backend, but there are a couple notable user features:

    • You can now see all media you've uploaded and delete what you wish (only affects media uploaded after the upgrade)
    • Better federation with Mastodon and other similar software, all posts are tagged with the community name (in the background, you won't see it) so that Mastodon users can see them.
    • Vote totals now have settings. You can see a total (Upvotes minus downvotes), both seperate, or a percentage.

    You can see the full changelog here.

    As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.
