  • Multi-color FDM recommendations

    Jump

  • I've only had one exposure with a multi-head printer, and it was incredibly messy. No matter what settings I used, there ended up being drips from the unused nozzle.

    My most recent printer is an Anycubic Kobra Max 3, and I'd take the wasted filament over the sloppy prints any day. It's a bed slinger, so maybe not what you had in mind, but they do make one with an enclosure.

  • What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passion

    Jump

  • If you walk into someone's home and it's full of the latest and greatest tech, that's a tech enthusiast. If you walk in and the most advanced piece of tech is a printer from 2005, that might be a senior software engineer.

  • What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passion

    Jump

  • As an engineer, I can understand your sentiment. Unfortunately, it's a field that attracts a lot of smart and socially awkward people. Those whose heads enjoy engineering challenges often lack self awareness, and it results in either being really awkward or being obnoxious, or both. The "good ones" are less loud, so you don't hear from them as much.

    Jump

  • Marketing is an industry built around manipulating people to buy things they otherwise wouldn't be interested in buying. There's no redeeming quality; the entire premise is shitty.

  • Canada losing top talent as workers head to the U.S.

    Jump

  • As a Canadian who recently moved back to Canada from the US, I'm gonna throw my anecdotal evidence around and say this is horseshit. Even my tax person has said she's never seen so many returning Canadians in her decades of work.

  • Is "AI slop" enough?

    Jump

  • Information pollution.

    Saying "AI pollution" would be like saying "microplastics pollution" -- we generally refer to the thing being polluted, not the pollutant.

  • Germany's far-right AfD vows to 'make history'

    Jump

  • Right, they're making that certain part of history happen again.

  • What is the best email server you use?

    Jump

  • I use Proton, but I use their other services as well (drive, vpn) so it's worth it for me.

  • Embrace it

  • What even is a "toy" or "toys"?

  • App Lock under Linux?

    Jump

  • You might be able to use something like distrobox instead of a full VM. That would at least put it in a container that you could either run from an encrypted partition or something.

    Different users would be the "simple" way you'd normally do something like this under Linux. But if your regular users have sudo access, you can't really lock anything down.

  • Open WRT and AP suggestions

    Jump

  • I looked into WiFi 7 a few months ago, doesn't seem ready for OpenWRT.

    I got a Cudy WR3000 and a couple of M3000s, and they've been great. The manufacturer provides OpenWRT images to flash, and the coverage is great. And they have PoE access points available as well. Tried with both a wireless and wired backhaul.

  • ‘The party has sailed its ship’: ex-Republican runs as Democrat for Georgia governor’s seat

    Jump

  • consider what the off-ramp for Republican leaders should look like in the waning days of the Trump era

    It should look like retiring from politics. Y'all sunk your party, stay away from the others.

  • I designed a bed in Blender. Got the materials yesterday, and started construction today.

    Jump

  • Looks good! Don't forget to add a mattress on there.

  • Help me choose a <€70 controller with Linux compatibility. 🙏️

    Jump

  • I have three different 8bitdo controllers and they've all been fantastic. And they sell things like replacement covers for the joysticks (I wore through one of them after a lot of hours). Obviously this is just anecdotal, but I've had nothing but great experiences with them.

  • Can a transgender woman be a lesbian?

    Jump

  • Otherwise it's just sparkling homosexuality

  • People over profit? In this economy?

    Jump

  • There are no bad trains, only bad passengers.

  • People over profit? In this economy?

    Jump

  • I'm assuming here that if the lever is privatized, the only occupants of the train are exceedingly wealthy. It's a shame for the train, but seems a worthy sacrifice.

  • People over profit? In this economy?

    Jump

  • Break in, pull the lever, light the building on fire, derail the trolley

  • How many big macs does a quart of gas buy?

    Jump

  • 0.224, less than a quarter.
