In Spain we have an old saying (maybe it's international, but I just heard it in Spain): My freedom ends where yours begin. Meaning that you're free to do what you want, but not when others are affected in a negative way (your noise disturb others, your hostility affect others, etc). When I see some people in the US behaving like assholes claiming that's their freedom I realise they don't actually understand what freedom means.

Karma and votes should stay but be hidden to other users. Karma is a good way to detect bots and trolls, but just admins and moderators should see it to act on them if needed. And up/down votes should be hidden too because of the hive mind phenomenon that it produces (Experienced on Reddit): often, the funny or sassy or apparently clever comment gets upvoted and sometimes, the comment with knowledge about the post gets downvoted because the first joke was funny. Many people may not have an opinion about the issue but upvote the funny guy and downvotes the real answer just following the hive. Hiding it, each person reading must decide by themselves if they upvote or downvote a comment.

Prizes and awards could maybe stay, not sure

I recommend you to give it a try anyway. Once you install the icon on your desktop, it loads like a native app and works really smooth. I’m really loving it and helps a lot with the grief of losing Apollo.

A bit nerve racking the first days trying out the first post in Lemmy and missing a good app for mobile (being used to Apollo set the bar quite high) and then I discovered wefwef.app and now I feel like home again (don’t be afraid of the fact that it’s a web app, it’s really well done and fast and smooth, and looks like Apollo).

Yes, very much. It had even a few more really useful tricks like press and hold on a comment and a menu would pop up to let you do different actions, like reply, quote, select text, save the comment or even translate it using google translate. It was really awesome, clean and intuitive.

OMG! I did it right now out of curiosity and a bit cautious and it’s a web app that looks and behaves like Apollo!! What’s this magic?? It works incredibly well! Thank you!

For all of the people here who knows about 3D printing, this happens all the time with every market: fixing some kind of issues for some kind of pipes for a plumber may seem like a steal, but it’s what they take for their knowledge about how to fix it. I’ve been a professional computer repair man and at the beginning I also couldn’t believe people would pay to help them to reinstall Windows on their PCs, because to me that was really simple. But most people don’t know and don’t want to know about some things (you and me included) and are willing to pay for a service or a good that they want. Your knowledge about 3D printers has value and you can benefit from it.

Being said that, those statues seem to be made with the cheapest printer and filament they could find. If at least they used a better printer and some marble filament, it would look more professional or appealing

I’m trying it now too, thanks for the comment, but if you’re an ex-Apollo like me, I highly recommend giving a try to Wefwef.app. It’s a web app but you can install it on your screen and looks almost identical to Apollo and feels very much like home. I discovered it today thanks to another comment and I can’t believe this exists.

Yeah, I got one of those, but I was looking for the reusable ones that change color from orange to green. Thank you anyway

No, they want to defederate from aggression and hate. It's not really about politics, it's about insults and threats.

I’m sorry to read your comment. But I’m curious about why you despise vegetables and even hate tomatoes.

I wonder if it’s because you “learnt” to hate them or because your body refuses it. If it’s the first one, I’m sure you can also learn to appreciate it. Not all at once, not in one day, but little by little, it can truly change your life for good. It’s never too late (I’m 48 so I’m almost there with you).

So true! I’ve not printed yet a single benchie or any other calibration test on it, while on my previous printer (Artillery X2) I wasted a lot of time and filament trying to fix layers banding and flow rates and even choosing the right slicer. I was also always concerned to start a new big print not knowing if it would succeed or fail. Those times are gone now

Same here. I’m an Apple user since 2008 but had a bad period in my life where I needed to squeeze every € and couldn’t afford a new Mac so I had to build myself a Hackintosh, which was ok at the beginning but missing a lot of things (the special connectivity between devices like airdrop or continuity) but now I’m recovered and bought a Mac Mini M2 and it’s like coming fully home again. No more random panics or wasting time diagnosing errors, and it’s incredibly fast. The jump in performance jumping from a Haswell CPU to a M2 in mind blowing and a joy to appreciate every time I use it

I do the same with the small bags so I can toss them inside the filament bags when I store them but I need some extra for the AMS to keep the filament dry inside while they're waiting to be used there. Specially the changing color one as it's reusable (buy once, use for years)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it

thank you! I compared prices between Amazon and Aliexpress and it was actually cheaper on Amazon, so I went for 2kg of the orange changing color one (I'll use it also around the house)

Thank you. I got one of those already but the one I wanted is the colour changing one so I could reuse it. I found it on Amazon and they'll ship it to Norway :). Thank you anyway

Full screen? I’ve not tried it there yet but that’s amazing!
