  • This is the way. If you want to make friends it’s so much easier when you start with a shared interest. Made many good friends in martial arts despite not being great at making friends, the ice breakers were all taken care of for me.

  • Sad day to have a boring username. Oh well.

  • It is not intuitive to do, but on a Mac you can access the keychain app to store “secure notes”… but I don’t think you can access them from a iPhone.

    I tend to just password protect a notes entry with that info, but I do think this is something Apple will need to add if they want keychain to be a real competitor to the third party solutions. I also assume Apple isn’t currently interested in competition, so … ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • I wish I could upvote you twice; once for the picture and once for choosing to use “customization”.

  • R&D on drugs is insanely expensive, but the protections put in place with the pricing are also a bit absurd. Most drug companies will lock down the formula for a period of time and price the drug aggressively for a short time (like a few years) and then open the formula up to generics who buy it and sell the same damn thing for a fraction of the cost.

    For clarity I’m agreeing with you that the price is largely due to non-manufacturing costs and the article is misleading as a result, but I also wanted to say that the whole industry is a testament to capital over humanity.

  • A software error that was quickly fixed, and that Bambu was transparent about and took accountability for, isn’t exactly “exerting control”.

    Nobody is compelling you to like BambuLabs, but the hyperbolic argument here just seems silly.

  • You can print offline from an SD card, online is only required if you want to start prints from the slicer or monitor the print via the phone app.

  • I cancelled my mk4 order after a long wait that didn’t seem likely to end soon and got a P1S instead.

    I was upgrading from a MK3S that I’d had for a couple of years, and I was all in on Prusa.

    After using the P1S for a while now, it’s clear to me that Prusa sat on its hands for too long. The P1S is fantastic, involves virtually no setup, and gives me out-of-the-box prints better than my MK3S ever gave me even after months of fine tuning. I can’t imagine a world where Bambu doesn’t significantly erode Prusa’s market share.

    Core-XY is the way to go, and I think to really compete Prusa is going to have to finally retire the i3 bed-slinger design and step into the future.

    I want to support Prusa in principle, but they’re going to have to really step it up to get me away from my Bambu.

  • I thought lack of plugins was going to be a deal breaker and now I’m kind of on the “do we really need plugins at all” side.

    Helix out of the box is really nice.

  • MUDding taught me programming and Regex in a very real and useful way.

    It also contributed to a gaming addiction that took years to break, so food for thought I guess.

  • The rust library mentioned there doesn’t support system install paths for windows or macOS, it only uses XDG. I recommend the directories crate which properly supports Linux, Mac, and Windows.

  • The fediverse (Lemmy included) deplatforms people all the time; it’s called defederation and it’s built into the core of the architecture.

    Even platforms built on openness, such as Lemmy, understand the need to not provide a platform to violence, bigotry, and exploitation.

  • EM perspective: your 1:1 meetings are your time to ask questions, express concerns, advocate for yourself (e.g., for career advancement or project placement), and generally have a line to what is happening with the org and upper management.

    They aren’t a place for me to micromanage my reports, they’re how I figure out to to best serve the people I lead, especially when my responsibilities keep me out of the day to day work.

  • This is bizarre, out of nowhere today I had this song stuck in my head, despite not having thought about it for years… and then I scroll past this.

  • Gotta love the block community feature.

  • The right is also easier to write tests for, which is crucially important to me.

  • Pretty frustrating example of how our legal system is broken.

  • It’s not really “both” from a space simulator perspective. There’s no option to fly down to a planet and skim the surface, there’s no option to fly from planet to planet without a loading screen (or even just to a moon), etc.

    Starfield is a good RPG set in space and I’m enjoying it, but I think it’s fair to criticize that it was marketed like it was going to be a space sim by Bethesda and that’s not really what we got. If you were excited about the simulator part you are going to be disappointed.
