Bishma,

This is bleak.

Bishma,

The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found !marijuanaenthusiasts but it doesn’t seem active. There are probably more if you’re willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.

Bishma,

Is it because, like me, you’d often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?

Bishma,

I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

Bishma,

Time to apply Rule 34 to r/Place

Bishma,

Yeah, that surprised me too.

Anybody remember Usenet?

So I've finally been doing my little reddit/twitter migration against my better judgement (my better judgement would say to take the opportunity to get off the internet but who listens to that loser). I'm finding all these platforms interesting, I particularly like how kbin combines both formats and links up to Mastodon, that's...

Bishma,

Its even having a mini resurgence at the moment.

Italy investigates Placebo singer for calling far-right PM ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’ (www.theguardian.com)

Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

Bishma,

Just a few steps from “My secret police will now ‘explain’ to you just how not fascist I am.”

Bishma,

I didn’t appreciated the FDroid UX until Google app designers lost their damn minds. Now it makes me feel relief.

Bishma,

I did not know that. I’ll give it a look for sure.

Alternative to Google Photos

So I’m looking to disconnect myself from Google and their tracking (as much as possible) and I was thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. I mostly use my phone for Lemmy, Signal, NewPipe and taking photos. The last one is my biggest bother at the moment. The Google Photos environment is so convenient - I take...

Bishma,

it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

Google (search engine) alternatives?

Hi! I’m trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that’s useful). Obviously don’t wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn’t know where!...

Bishma,

Bangs are the reason I moved to DuckDuckGo after Neeva shut down

Bishma, (edited )

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along blog: The Book” and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.

Bishma,

They always spend like an hour in the hallways outside the Penn and Teller Theater after shows meeting fans. The people who crowd around Teller are often magicians because he is notoriously generous when it comes to helping other magicians. They both are really, but I think a majority of successful magicians in the US have a trick in their repertoire that Teller helped out with in some way or another.

I just love that, after being silent all show, he comes out and talks enthusiastically with fans and colleagues.

Bishma,

I’ve always enjoyed the cover flow of trackers that the duckduckgo extension shows

Bishma,

@feditips is a must follow for me.

Beyond that let finding people happen organically. Focus on finding hastags and groups to follow, then the interesting people will start to bubble up in your feed naturally. See also.

And if you’re on a niche/topical server don’t forget to get an eye on your local feed. It gets swamped on big instances but can be a great discovery tool on smaller ones.

Bishma,

I dumped a cup of coffee in my laptop a month ago and was so bummed that it wasn’t for sale yet.

Bishma,

An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.

Bishma,

Assuming you’re talking about FDM/FFF printing and not SLA or sintering:

There’s a bit of a catch-22 when it comes to mating flat 3d printed surfaces: The face that’s on the build plate will be the flattest and result in the smallest seam. It’s also the face most likely to be dimensionally inaccurate because of elephant footing, which can result in a ridge at the seam. And the easy fix for having an elephant foot it adding a chamfer, which results in a big visible seam. So my actual advice is:

  1. get your first layer super-duper dialed in
  2. then make sure “elephant foot correction” (or whatever your slicer may call it) is turned off in your slicer (or it’ll add a 0.4mm chamfer for you)
  3. make sure your mating faces are face down on the bed
  4. avoid textured build plates if you can

And if aesthetics are a high priority consider using an automotive filler primer (I buy it in spray cans) and then painting the piece after it’s glued. Filler primer will help hide the seam and layer lines.

Bishma,

It’s not a solid mass of plastic around your hotend. That’s a small win at least.

Bishma,

Most of my PLA is Printed Solid Jesse. It’s $20/kg filament that prints like $30/kg filament.

Bishma,

They built that blockchain back when NFTs of gifs seemed like a good idea and, by god, they’re going to find a use for it.

Bishma,

But I learned Perl in the 00’s and I don’t want those neurons to go to waste!

Bishma,

A few years ago they started to wrap them in black plastic to slow thefts. And they found it lead to them getting mistreated by shipping companies a lot more - and fewer working printers were ultimately making it to people.

I’ve seen speculation in the 3d printer community that when people see a foreign origin package that just squeaked under the import duty cost and wrapped in black they assume it’s something for some rich jerk and may treat the package accordingly. But when they see it’s a tool frequently used for regular folks to set up a side hustle, they’re nicer to it.
