try making a few high quality posts on it that you would find interesting, then linking the posts in the comments

I agree with your stance on Fuckerburg's shitstain of a platform, but please don't make unnecessary infighting within one of the last remaining utopias on the internet please

Nope Nope Nope.

I don't agree with OP creating infighting within the fediverse, but I really do agree with his points on defederating.

Have you heard of the term "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish"? It was Microsoft's motto in the 90s to early 2000s of destroying free and open source competition.

The first step: "Embrace" meant to embrace the competition's protocol. Things like the Open Document Format, or in this case ActivityPub. They would make a product that used that protocol, pretending like they were contributing to it.

The second step: "Extend" meant to extend the protocol. They would divert from the way the original protocol worked, and adding more features that would attract the users on the original platform to their one. They would do this in a way that the original platform wouldn't be able to catch up and get feature parity with them, such as making their new protocol closed source.

The final step: "Extinguish" would be that when enough users migrated away from the competition's original platform, they would basically have stolen all the users, profited off the volunteers that made the original product, and made a worse, closed source, non-free alternative.

I know it's pretty fucked up, but this is an actual thing that happened, and it's not just Microsoft. Google's done it with XMPP, and Facebook is probably doing it with Threads this time around.

Here's some more stuff to read about it if you are interested:

I think something like an Ender 3 is sufficient for your use case.

I use a Prusa i3 MK3s+ and I love it, but Prusa printers are expensive and you can get more value from things like the Ender 3. If you want to go Prusa, you can get the Prusa mini.

Also, I've never had a problem with having my printer next to a window, maybe filaments degrade faster that way but I don't really know.

I use Blender for making models, and PrusaSlicer for slicing those models to send to my printer.

I don't think Blender is a good choice for 3d Printing but I just use it because I know it.

I highly recommend Prusaslicer though, and it works for a lot of non Prusa printers like the Ender 3.

turquoise gang :(

btw, can we stop using the name meta and call them Facebook? i feel like the Facebook brand has worse connotations that should be leveraged to get people off their horrible platforms

I find it not annoying at all, and I sometimes even have the sun directly hitting the panel. When that happens, I just turn up the brightness with Twinkle Tray and it's fine.

The colours are really vibrant, and I likd it overall.

I really hope that we learnt our lesson with the other platforms and don't go blindly trusting mark fuckerburg with our federated platforms.

that's the opposite of what I'm saying, I'm worried that if we federate with mark cuckerburg they would EEE our non tech savvy people away

yeah, I NEED a vibrant rain world community

I run a 3060ti with a m34wq and it works fine. I get decent (60+) fps on all games I've played, though recently I've been just playing undemanding games

very cool! we need more ux/ui designers in open source and free software!

I enjoy finding them, just don't like knowing they are there without knowing where they are

I am worried because I want and we need non geeks to be on lemmy as well for it to be great.

Also consider Embrace Extend Extinguish, he is using federation purely as a resource to stand on
