Every day, over and over and over… I have to keep actual glass cleaner in my car and spray the windshield occasionally—like at stop lights by sticking my arm out the window—because not even the “bug remover” windshield washer fluid works well enough. You need something strong like ammonia to loosen all the protein.

Note: I don’t live in a city.

This is the internet. Just do it.

Fusion 360 is fantastic. It’s free for non-commercisl use. I’ve been using it for years and have zero complaints. It’s polished and powerful.

People complaining about it for ideological reasons have a point, but I disagree that it’s in some sort of “enshitification spiral”. It’s exactly as usable as it was 5 years ago. There are very few features locked behind a paywall, and they aren’t important to the average maker.

You can even use Fusion to run a CNC router. For free! With all the polish of commercial software.

Everyone I know at my local makerspace uses Fusion. I don’t know a single person who uses FreeCAD. A couple people use TinkerCAD. There’s a very large community of Fusion users and getting help is easy.

I am 100% in favor of FOSS. Give FreeCAD a try. I used it years ago because it had a plugin to make convolute gears with a couple of clicks. But don’t shy away from Fusion just because of all of the haters on here. Give it a try yourself. I think you’ll be impressed by what you get for free.

Any Prusa

Well obviously that’s not in pi. Pi only tracks current phone numbers.

If you’re allowed to drive a motorcycle, you should be allowed to drive a tiny truck. It’s your life.

I get the same screen anytime I use any VPN server.

When google started to index paywalled things…

Google has (had?) a rule. If a site lets them index their paywalled content, then the site must deliver the full content if the referrer is google.com or else they will de-index the site. So when clicking a link on google, the full article should appear. It was an old trick to just google the article title to find a link and click through to read a paywalled article.

Is that policy gone now?

Tell that to my aluminum foil.

You can create a file in ~/bin named termux-url-opener. It’ll be executed when you “Share” a URL to Termux. In the script you can go wild. Setup a menu with options:

1. Download video to a folder.
2. Download a video to a hidden folder.
3. Download just the the audio then convert it to MP3 with your desired quality.

Stuff like that.

Less technical people can simply install Seal:

Honestly, Seal is just easier, and even supports custom command templates, so it does literally everything you could want.

But Termux can do more than just yt-dlp.

Sure, it’s not a coöp, but at least they pay $20/hr starting wage, and $30/hr for half of their employees because they stay there so long.

It’s called job creation!

It’d be cool, though, if the eyes didn’t have it. Can you mask out regions of the STL when applying fuzzy skin?

Even charcoal grills inside are fine with proper ventilation. So you’re right, but your also not saying very much.

1. It creates CO.
2. Boom.

They didn’t say CO2. They said “1. CO. 2. Boom”

Induction also doesn’t work with aluminum items like a moka pot without an “induction adapter” which is just a steel plate.

You were happily paying it before then? He’s done this so many times. I gave up about a year ago when he made markdown work in titles, which no one asked for, and then disappeared again. Everyone who started a title with a hashtag had a giant freaking heading font for a title.

And spoiler markdown has never worked right. It always used the reddit style. It would even change proper Lemmy spoiler tags into reddit ones when you editted your comment, ruining the spoiler for tag for literally every non-Sync user. That made me so fucking mad!

I took the time to try out every other app at the time and settled on Thunder. It’s just as good, it’s in active development, and it’s free and open source, so it can never be abandoned like Sync is. Anyone can fork it if they had to, and keep it going.

It pisses me off so much that Lawson had the audacity to charge $20 for a broken port of Sync for Reddit and then disappear with severe open bugs for months at a time. I wish I could get my money back. What’s fucking scam. I can’t believe anyone still uses that app.

Yeah, I think you’re right. (No sarcasm.) I should keep such opinions to myself. I’m not at all against being a maker for the sake of making, actually. I guess I’m just a camera snob. Calling my criticism “pixel peeping” kinda set me off, and I lashed out, but that’s on me. :(

You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t have said anything. (No sarcasm.)

Haha! You don’t need to peep any pixels to see how terrible that camera is.

I’m just not into Lomo crap. Spend time with a real camera and take good photos. Tinker with your skills as a photographer and not with making toy cameras that you’re going to never use again after one roll of film.

My bad. I shouldn’t have said that.
