Sure, if you have any control over the situation.

MFW I go to recommend Insomnia instead, then realize that it’s apparently enshittified with “create an account” bullshit too.

WTF? According to the project page on github, at least some of it is AGPL. It can’t have restrictive “terms of service” on top of that!

It’s DRM’d bullshit that gives a big fat 🖕to the entire open and collaborative spirit of 3D printing. The hobby was built on open source and open hardware (see e.g. RepRap) and Bambu is trying to destroy that.

I don’t give a fuck how good the print quality and whatnot is; It could give you a handjob with every print and it would still be completely categorically unacceptable!

I’m sad that the relevant xkcd is kinda obsolete now (because it’s been long enough for that research team to finish doing its thing).

My wife uses this app: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.flauschcode.broccoli

I’ve also heard that there’s a recipe database add-on for Nextcloud that’s pretty good.

(I have no idea if either of them interact with Facebook, as it is evil and should be shunned at all costs.)

From the pathetic t-rex to the mighty chicken.

Bambu sponsorships are a fucking plague.

Agreed. The invasiveness of the change definitely depends on which UI you’re talking about: in the default web UI it’s probably no big deal, as there’s typically a ton of dead space to the right of the message and you could use the css @media rule to turn it on and off depending on width or something if you wanted, but in a mobile app it would be more problematic.

It’s too bad there’s no @media type 'screenshot' so that we could change the formatting to show the absolute timestamp automatically upon taking a screenshot. (Then again, it would probably be too exploitable anyway…) Especially for apps, I’m liking my “add a dedicated screenshot function that reformats automatically” idea more and more.

The entire point of government is to correct for market failures. Public services shouldn’t try to make a profit, because if something were profitable the private sector would’ve provided it already.

The “profit” of a government service comes in the form of positive externalities.

I suppose there’s no reason it couldn’t show both, or let you toggle, or even provide a built-in screenshotting function that includes an absolute timestamp even while the normal UI displays relative time.

That reminds me: we should demand Fediverse stuff display proper timestamps. Even now, your comment is showing as “41m [ago]” for me viewing it in Voyager, which is just being part of the problem for no good reason.

In Atlanta, this happened in several places:

• Sweet Auburn, including the “richest Negro street in the world” at the time, was bisected to build the Downtown Connector.
• Lightning was bulldozed to build the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome.
• Buttermilk Bottom was bulldozed to build the Civic Center.

(To be fair, Atlanta also razed at least one white neighborhood, too. Copenhill was destroyed to make room for the I-485/GA 400 interchange, which was never built due to the Freeway Revolts and eventually became Freedom Parkway and the Carter Center instead.)

“Urban renewal”

I love that you linked to the Peertube upload instead of the Youtube upload.

If it’s something like Google or Windows that’s suddenly started generating AI “answers” or whatever when you just use your computer as normal, does that get counted in those statistics?

I bet it does, and I bet it accounts for a huge percentage of it.

I don’t like the guy’s breathless over-enthusiasm, but NetworkChuck has a video on how to integrate LLM-based voice assistants with HomeAssistant using Whisper and Ollama.

I understand they say the modified ads are offensive, but it’s still kind of annoying that the article doesn’t include any side-by-side comparisons so we can see how bad it actually is.

Also, after getting blown off by their bullshit “highest internal team,” the developer needs to escalate to their legal department by suing for defamation.

On the contrary: vampires are an allegory for the upper class, being parasites who suck the blood (wealth) from society.

(Also, the nature of being immortal means you have plenty of time to wait for your investments to appreciate, so all but the newest vampires should be wealthy enough to afford a castle if they want.)

What? I didn’t mean it like it was a bad thing!
