I moved to fedia.io (which runs mbin) because it seems to work without constant errors.

Committee Backs 4 Streetcar Extensions (urbanmilwaukee.com)

The Department of Public Works would be directed to pursue federal grants to fund the majority of four extensions: a Lower East Side line to Brady Street via N. Prospect Avenue and N. Farwell Avenue, a Westown line to Fiserv Forum via N. Vel R. Phillips Avenue, a new line north from Fiserv Forum to Bronzeville and a new line...

I really hope this happens. My only complaint about The Hop is that it doesn't go far enough (yet) though I know it takes time.

Yes! My big boy cat flops down and demands them.

Solder Board - a soldering aid for adding pins to boards (www.printables.com)

I created what I am calling a “Solder Board” which is like a breadboard but with no internal connectors. The solder board is used for soldering of course. Specifically, for soldering pins onto PCBs, and in this case, onto microcontrollers.

That's awesome. I hope it continues to be popular. I was at a party last week and guy said he took it to get there and it was a great experience.

CTA: Create a thriving Fediverse without relying on Reddit

The Fediverse must be very careful to avoid getting branded as the "alternative to X". In my experience, platforms that have historically branded themselves as "alternative to" or "anti-" have generally not done well. Learned this from the last Reddit exodus: let's make this one different!...

Not me! Traveling for work most of the week and honestly I'm not a fan of Summerfest anymore...

OC While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen

Apps are always nice, but lots of mobile websites, including the kbin one, are entirely functional as an app. In your browser you can just make a shortcut to them, and they'll appear on your home screen and act as an app....

I've done this in Firefox on iOS but sadly the browser's back and forward arrows are not available and... I miss them!

This is very exciting! I'm looking forward to the growth of the Threadiverse.

Two questions from a Reddit refugee:

  • How / where can I retrieve a list of magazines that I’ve subscribed to? Via the top menu bar I can get all postings of all subscribed magazines, but a) I like to browse by subject, and b) that way small magazines are pushed out of sight by the busier ones, which is a pity.
  • is there a way to make my favourite way of reading postings and comments - by newest, instead of by hottest - permanent choice?

Thanks!

@KarinSpaink On kbin I hover over my username, click on 'settings' and then on 'subscriptions'. It should take you here: https://kbin.social/settings/subscriptions/magazines

I made an account on Kbin, and I'm looking at posts from Lemmy and BeeHaw and Kbin and sometimes I forget to even check what the source is.

So am I accessing Lemmy through Kbin? Am I seeing the entire Fediverse through Kbin's interface? Am I reading Kbin, which gets its content from across the Fediverse?

In short, I'm wondering what the local terminology is for what I signed up for and what I'm seeing when I pull up Kbin.

@Usernameblankface Welcome to the Threadiverse!

Nice! I may need to design one for my RG35XX.

Oh yeah! I've seen a number of those types of designs. Might grab a parametric one for OpenSCAD and go for it.

If you tried Lemmy but didn't like the ui, give Kbin a shot. It's federated with Lemmy so you can participate in the fastly growing community. https://kbin.social/

@NatureMC

@timvandijck They are similar to reddit in that there are posts and replies. But also, it's federated and uses ActivityPub. (I am replying from kbin right now!)

Maker friends, any thoughts on the Ender 3 S1? A project has outgrown my little delta printer.

rasterweb avatar

@mrpjevans We ended up getting 6 of them at work for producing a number of parts. Probably printed hundreds of parts on each one over the last six months. That said, they are not as nice as a Prusa, but they are large and cheap. I've been building & using printers for a decade, so I take care of them pretty good. If you're familiar enough to troubleshoot things they work pretty well.

The Bear 2 beta has been out for a while now… https://beta.bear.app/t/the-bear-2-beta-is-here/9115

(I mainly use Bear as a synchronized notebook.)

Does GarlicOS have search yet? That’s the one thing I think is missing. (I did see a hack to add it but have not tried it yet.)

I may need to give this a try: https://github.com/AgelessArchangel/RomSearch-for-RG35xx-Garlic-OS

The Enderis Park Farmer’s Market just returned this weekend but sadly I missed it. It’s a small one, but small community markets close to where you live should be the norm. :)

Thanks for setting this up! I just got the Anbernic RG35XX and look forward to learning more about it... and playing some games!

I created a magazine (akin to a subreddit) on kbin.social if anyone wants to give it a spin.

@joe I'll skip that challenge! (Though if you want to add me as a moderator for Milwaukee I wouldn't mind.)
