I think we can look at this from the perspective of this community: when the exodus from Reddit happened after the APIcalypse in 2023, this community blew up in both membership size and excitement for the new season. Since then it’s been basically silent starting with the end of the first Hulu season.

I don’t think the longtime fans have loved the Hulu seasons (I haven’t). I don’t think anyone truly hated them either. They’re only okay.

They also grow on me over time, but I will never love them the same as the way I loved the original Fox seasons.

The new seasons are 40% good

I’m still waiting on your wombat warfare content

I agree, but this will help pop the bubble because local models we can run on our own hardware will crash the demand for data centers

Correct. This isn’t an all or none situation.

We talkin Broly levels of rage

Well unfortunately the XL is not an IDEX, just a toolchanger. It’d be cool if it were both though.

My workplace got one, and it’s just not performing like a $5k machine should. I’ve built a Voron 2.4R2 from scratch that was way more enjoyable to build than the assembled machine we received from Prusa. They clearly did not test every toolhead they sent and Printed Solid sent the wrong replacement parts. I’m still waiting on the correct parts.

So despite having it for a couple of weeks, it has still not passed our own checks, and I haven’t put the enclosure on it yet, so that’s even more testing needed after that.

TPU keeps jamming on it, and I haven’t found the sweet spot for tension on the extruder gears. Most people recommend not feeding TPU through the runout sensor or using the filament holder on the side of the machine.

Since it is not my personal machine and since it needs to work for professional projects, I have less patience for these issues than I would otherwise. Especially as the market has several other toolchanger options now for far less money.

With a fascist aftertaste?

What do you suppose liquid Odo tastes like?

Excellent! Should we invite them to setup shop here?

Sorry, boss, but this girl-on-girl playlist is to protect our sensitive data from Microsoft

Is this the same Scott Adams of Dilbert fame? He's been a political weirdo for years and years, so naturally he'd allow himself this cognitive dissonance.

This is the traditional rejection outfit women on Naboo wear. You should see the outfit they wear for romantic acceptance!

The owner of the site (Ernest, IIRC) has some health issues that have kept him from being as active as he had wanted. He also wrote the frontend code as an alternative to the Lemmy software. Mbin continues onward as a fork of Kbin.

I wish him the best. I hope he gets better. I know too well what chronic illness can do to a person.

It’s painfully obvious that IPO means the death of quality. Once there are shareholders, the sociopaths move in to horde wealth in any and every way possible as though destroying good things is some kind of sport.

Assuming someone or some group of people are actually putting these in mailboxes to try to trick people, this is multiple federal felonies. It’s election fraud, and it’s a felony to tamper with a mailbox, mail fraud, I would guess conspiracy to commit fraud, and perhaps more.

If true, I sincerely hope someone’s doorbell camera catches them in the act.

The only problem is that “knock off” brands are the only ones making products in at least some instances that used to be filled by the “brand names”.

This is the result of globalizing manufacturing. Eventually the brands that could pay for advertising stopped making things, and the void was filled by these “knock offs” (I don’t care for that term as it was applied in this article. These aren’t fake designer hand bags, they’re just products that don’t have a recognized brand name).

True to the OnlyFans stereotype, most of the chats were overtly sexual. I had to wade into several prosaic fantasies about babysitters and office blowjobs, some of which included laughably florid professions of love for me. I couldn’t help but ponder how disappointed these men would be if they could somehow see me sitting in my home office, sipping hibiscus tea as I typed out commands for them to manipulate their genitalia or deposit their semen on certain parts of my body. The most surreal moment came as I noticed the faint sounds of my daughter and her puppy watching Bluey together down the hall, right as a subscriber was waxing poetic about how much he wanted to eat a macaron from between my ass cheeks; the juxtaposition made me question the entire course of my life.

Well, I'm stretching the truth just a little here. It has been reported that they're censoring any links or mentions of the Fediverse (just like Twitter did with Mastodon), but they are engaging in gaslighting about the protests.

Most recently the subs that voted to become NSFW in protest marked themselves as such (thus self-filtering for anyone not wanting to see NSFW content), however the admins removed that designation from those subs... without removing the NSFW content first! They then sent the mods of those subs threatening messages about how the mods showed NSFW content to everyone without the proper filters in place!
