No Really, the Point of a Hookless Wheel Is Safety
  • This site's cookie banner and method of 'opting out' is atrocious. Additionally, "What is a hookless tire" shouldn't have been so late in the article ffs.

    3D printer maker Bambu Lab faces patent infringement lawsuits that could threaten hobbyist 3D printing in general
  • Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

    What is Meshtastic? - Full Guide on How To Get Started
  • Meshtastic has the mesh capabilities that others have mentioned but what's more immediately important is the ability to direct message others (no need to send private messages to everyone in range) and the ability to share GPS coordinates which is absolutely helpful in an emergency.

    The Worst Feature Apple Ever Made
  • As someone who dailies a trackball, mouse, and trackpad: it depends on the setup. Trackpad is nice for when I'm on my laptop with just one screen. Mouse is nice with two high resolution displays and gaming. And at work I exclusively use a trackball across a triple monitor setup.

    Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is.
  • I mean, I can see why it's brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.

    Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.

    And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.

    Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.

    Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I'm in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I'm keeping that information off Signal.

    Elon Musk claims he is training “the world’s most powerful AI by every metric”
  • Could you please not disparage an entire language and ethnic group? There's an entire grocery list of things you could insult Musk about, even while including Putin, to not bring the Russian language into it.

    Crunchyroll Announces the Removal of Its Comment Section Across All Platforms To 'Reduce Harmful Content' - IGN
  • They're probably referring to nyaa si which normally has either decent webrips, Bluray rips once the show is released physically, and at times with list 3840p shows.

    Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.

    We are not the same
  • Nicotine+ is a FOSS multi-platform gui for Soulseek and runs on Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.

    Freyr is a CLI tool that can either built manually for Linux I believe or ran in Docker on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

    yt-dlp is a CLI tool that has compiled binaries or can be installed through a package manager on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.

    We are not the same
  • Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp

    Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.

    Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.

    If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.

    Or buy it legally. In the past I've gotten songs by buying from Artists' website, bandcamp, and iTunes.

    The major Organic Maps June update
  • I just want to be able to input an address and it actually take me there and not just give the whole road. I don't care much for lacking traffic data but I want to at least get directions.

    I understand I can search for locations but that doesn't work for houses, unlisted businesses (recently had an issue trying to local a local clinic that we were given the address for), or many trailheads.

    Whelp, that's all folks
  • Same, I left just recently for Arctic after no updates for months, unfixed app restarts, commenting issues, etc.

    Paid for pro when it became available because at the time Avelon was a great Lemmy app and I enjoy supporting developers but seemed to get abandoned not too long after unfortunately.

  • You can still buy songs on iTunes and load them to an iPod, MP3 player, or in my case to my Navidrome instance for my own personal self-hosted streaming.

    People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?
  • Iirc the Palma doesn’t have a sim slot thus can’t be used as a full fledged phone. The Hisense line of phones (such as the A9 Pro) do have sim slots and run android but I don’t think even they last weeks.
