What song are you listening to?
Pedal to the metal and no distractions. Only the silent rage.

The best part is that it's a coffin. Even if they get to the surface, they are still bolted in from the outside. Also it has no flares, no redundancies, no balloon that floats up, absolutely no backups in case anything goes wrong. No reasonable person would look at this and think: "Yep! Perfect excursion for my vacation!"

Some subs have already decided to go indefinite. They are coordinating in r/ModCoord.

YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
God the ads are awful. If they start blocking apps like Vanced and Browsers like brave, i will make a PiHole. And they can never block it.

Wanted to share a simple phone stand I designed in these trying times
Reply in thread
I honestly never thought of that, maybe in a future model at some point. I rarely ever charge my phone on the stand, and only when it's horizontal. But I am glad for the feedback!

Never saw it before, does look similar though. But I guess there are only so many ways of making a thing fit inside another thing through a cutout.

I am fairly tech savvy. It took me some time to understand the fediverse and how it works. The thing is, you need to read stuff to understand. That is well above the capabilities of like 80% of people. Oh, and you won't believe how many people I have met that have no idea what a server is or how email works. Trust me, the bar for entry is pretty high for the average joe. It's a good filter though.

I somehow got addicted to making phone cases for friends and family since I successfully printed TPU the first time.

It depends how thick and soft the tpu is. If you have a thick enough and soft enough case, it will absorb an impact. Just like silicone cases do. And they are also solid.

I am more of a double sided tape guy, but you are very welcome to remix the model.

What do you think about Apple and its ecosystem? (And a little conversation I had with a colleague)
I hate the current state of Apple with a burning passion. At some point I had tried using their devices. They treat me like I am retarded. But if you like their interface, the interconnectivity and the workflow, more power to you. I myself have bought windows keys from shady websites for like 10% of the price (I am a gamer and linux wasn't ready for gaming at the time). I have stripped the OS of all the tracking bullshit, used third party tools to disable everything I don't like, uninstalled Edge (painful), installed tools to disable licensing checks in programs (sketchy), etc. I have never bought an iPhone. When I switch phones, I root the old one for shits and giggles. I use only open-source software and everything I publish (files for 3d printing) are openly accessible too and never paywalled. But not everyone can live like me. I have, at one point in my life, spent 18 hours at my PC screwing around with the registry in windows, to disable some slimy POS tracker. I do not have a problem with anyone choosing convenience over cheapness or open-sourceness. But I hope more people make the leap. Because your coworker is right. The problem is absolutely the same. I hope open-source gets more convenient to use. For example gaming on Linux is finally possible. You can't change the whole world, you can only change yourself. And you won't do it overnight, you have to wake up in the morning and make a conscious effort of making a change in your routine. I convinced my SO to at least try an Android phone after she was done with her iPhone. Now she can never go back. Now she has a Laptop with Windows on it. A custom PC, which she wouldn't trade for a top of the line MacBook. In any case, OP: if you want to make a change, do it one step at a time. Don't overload yourself. I was introduced to linux by my dad, where he helped me follow a tutorial on how to make a bootable usb drive for Ubuntu. It was fun and not complicated at all. Once you have that USB, try booting off of it, play around in Linux. Have some fun. It is closer to MacOS than Windows. It just doesn't stop you from being dumb and doing dumb things :). And after that, if you like it, do some more research, try some more things. Be the change you want to see in the world.
