Hell yeah.

I am the IT guy in my family, I have a bunch of S7s for the wife and kids with eOS, and everybody is more then happy with them.

I got a fairphone 5 a awhile ago for myself, and while it did cost €600+, I wanted the modularity and reparability, I just wanted to support that type of company and try it out. Hopefully I will have it for 10 years or so.

The two continents!? Like, the land masses themselves? Damn, this sounds serious.

That is a very healthy attitude to have!

No idea where to find such a font. But why not just do it yourself? Find a font you like, make the 3D file, and then add the positive bars to support the loose bits manually to each character that needs it.

I’m assuming that you don’t have hundreds of such cases for your stencil, of course.

I made the jump to signal, and those that refused to come with got relegated to SMS.

But it’s not always that easy. Sorry that you have to deal with that BS.

The other comment is great, as a plan B this app is what I use for automating just about anything on android.

It takes a little while to get used to the block programming, but it’s fun and can do lots of stuff. The free version should work fine on an alternate android-based OS, but I haven’t checked myself.

Edit: used to use. I haven’t actually been on stock android for a while, and I haven’t used the app in a while either.

Wow, that’s quite a lot of content to go through. Thanks!

I agree, but I also wonder if the Democratic party can be converted from the inside to change it’s focus.

Probably not. I just winder what the best way forward is. It’s not really clear.

Sentient Soup.

You are right, it’s a worthless endeavor.

I’ll triple down if you like. Absolutism is stupid and a hollow comfort. It’s easy to vilify people, and difficult to hold cognitive dissonance about how any one person can be both good and evil.

Gates is a Epstein customer, an IP thief and a con artist. I 100% agree with the OPs original comment about him. But he also helped eradicate polio from the face of the planet.

It would be nice and simple if we could point to him in his volcano lair of villany, touriring small animals for fun, and say “there, that’s pure evil, that’s him, the devil incarnate”, but the real world isn’t a movie or a video game. It is just not that simple.

If that sort of opinion is a sign of “unthinking” to you, then I suppose I’m wasting my time here.

I wasn’t being ironic. Better is a relative term, and I do believe that gates is a significantly better person that musk or zuckerberg, or many other evil asshat billionaires. But that doesn’t make him a good person. I’m not defending him, he has greatly contributed to the rampant capitalism that is destroying our climate and society.

Things are seldom black and white in this world, pure good and pure evil do not exsist. Is it easier for you to see things in absolutes?

And he is one of the “better” billionaires. He has donated over $100 Billion to help people around the world, which makes him look like a great guy on paper.

I think it’s not so much him as a person, but his business decisions in the context of capitalism. That’s the real evil, not any one person.

Just to be clear, I’m not defending him or his actions.

This looks great! I’m not into self-hosting, I just don’t have much use for it right now. But this’d is exactly the kind of tool I’d be looking for if I did.

Oh really? I had no idea that fusion360 did toolpath stuff. Oops.

OpenSCAD is a great program, but it’s not like blender or fusion 360. the input is a text file, and you need to describe the object you want to model as geometrical shapes in text. It also only renders when you tell it to, not constantly.

But if you are willing to dive into it, you can get great results. There are libraries available for threads and gears and curbed shapes and such.

It does take some getting used to, even more so if you have never done any programing, but it’s FOSS and can create the same output as the graphical-menu counterparts.

Edit: I had originally posted a link to some stl files I made, but my read name is on there so I removed it.

Eat the rich. Everything else is a distraction.

I’m never going to buy/make something like this myself, but I am nonetheless very happy to see this in my feed and read about it. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

I hope this holds. There have been several such migrations in the past, and they didn’t last. Seeing as it is just email and not the entire OS/software landscape, it will probably hold.

I think this comic is more about the feeling of it. I certainly feel like my work-issued iphone gets more and more bogged-down with every major update, with less and less room for apps and media. It certainly feels like the only reason for the bloat is to goad me into buying cloud storage and/or a new model.

And just to be clear, I’m not hating on apple. Given the predatory nature of late-stage capitalism, apple is probably the least-shitty of the IT megacorps.
