Aside from what everyone else is saying, don't use dependencies that you don't have to. Particularly don't use big "frameworks". If you use any dependencies, use tiny, focused ones that do one thing. The more code there is underneath what you're writing, the more likely it will cause problems that you will internalize. I've seen it many times. Spring (Java), for instance, will do something not as advertised, and devs will think they're bad coders because they "can't write code that works as it's supposed to." Avoiding that vicious cycle will make you a better coder in the long run.

Also, when things aren't working with your dependencies, do google for fixes, but don't google too long. If you haven't got a solution after an hour of no progress, look at your dependencies' source code until you understand why and how to fix it.

They're only one step away, people, and I'm not even sure about the 🚫 on red scanning visual sensors.

Thank you for this. I haven't been any sort of sysadmin in a good long time and when I was, I didn't manage more than three or four servers. But I am fed up enough with SystemD to finally go to the trouble of switching back from Arch to the Gentoo I used to run and love. And it's a breath of fresh air dealing with OpenRC (and generally the whole Gentoo ecosystem) again.

Unit files are a pain to deal with. I love that with init scripts, if I can write Bash scripts, I can write init scripts without having to look up every little thing in Google and in man pages.

If you get this joke without looking it up, 10 internet points to you.

The U.S. has always been bullies, fundamentalists, militant, entitled. All the things you don't want in an ally. Yes, the U.S. is worse now. (I'm American, by the way.) But I hope U.S. allies have kindof seen this coming and made arrangements to weather this sort of thing, even if it lasts forever. Myabe that was kindof the point of the E.U., for instance.

The U.S. isn't the only country going off the rails, though. Think of Brexit, for instance. I'm not saying the U.K. government is anywhere near as... quite frankly openly fascist as the U.S.'s is right now, but at least the U.K. isn't immune. Unfortunately no country is.

I'm definitely excited for this technology to start getting into slicers. In the meantime, I might have occasion to want so much strength in a part that I'd go to the trouble of using a script.

I currently use Cura, but I'm disgusted with Cura and looking to switch to PrusaSlicer. Cura's a great slicer, but a terrible program. I use Raspberry Pis as desktop systems frequently. Cura used to work on ARM, but doesn't any more. I'm also switching my main x86_64 box to Gentoo. It seems like they've added just tons of ridiculous libraries as dependencies to Cura that make it so hard to build Cura, the Gentoo devs have given up trying. Cura also doesn't play nice with Wayland. And it will only run on an old version of Python, which makes getting it to run on a modern system challenging. In short, the slicing isn't the problem. It's getting it installed and running on your system of choice.

So, given that I'm probably switching to PrusaSlicer soon anyway, I'll be in just the right place to start using scripts for PrusaSlicer/Orca/etc like this one. Hopefully this feature makes it into PrusaSlicer upstream soon as well.

(I do say I'm probably switching to PrusaSlicer. I don't really have a good grasp on what features I've depended on in Cura are absent in Prusaslicer. Like, does it have tree supports? Support blocking? Top surface ironing? Not that all of those things are deal breakers, but some might end up being a big deal to me. And if so, I might have to go to the trouble of wrangling building Cura or holding off on switching to Gentoo or running Cura in Docker or something. We'll see.)

Final thought:

Advertising? Even if only word-of-mouth.

It would have to be pretty secretive. But it's not like there aren't other services out there that do similar things illegally under cover of anonymity. (Silk Road, anyone?)

I tried farting in the bread isle, but I have yet to find true love. Am I doing it wrong? Maybe I need to eat more garlic for extra fragrance?

Is this about DEI hires or workers whose jobs are to ensure their hiring practices promote diversity, equality, and inclucivity? I took it to mean that if Susie in HR has a job description that includes anything about diversity in hiring, federal workers are supposed to rat on Susie or face consequences. Not on the folks who maybe arguably were hired because their presence increase diversity, equality, and/or inclucivity.

I don't know where you got the idea that the key fob doesn't transmit a signal when at rest. If you're talking about keyless ignition with the button on the car (not remote start via key fob) the key fob transmits a response when it gets a request from the car.

The bad guys have a clever trick, though. They put one guy in your car and one guy next to you. The guy at the car hits the ignition button transmits the signal to the other guy, who transmits it to your fob. The second guy then transmits the response from your fob back to the guy in the car, who then sends it to the car. As far as your car knows, the fob is in the car. So it starts. A Faraday cage can protect against this.

Me neithe- I mean what does that say?

Yes! Screen capture! Standardize it! Standardize it! Then get FFMPEG and Zoom to adopt the new standard!

Also, that Simon guy sounds like a good and nice guy.

Uninstall it and make the world a slightly better place?

The funniest part is that the laptop has been in sleep or hibernate all that time, not off.

I doubt they can hear much of anything with their heads lodged that far up Trump's ascending colon.

A drug.

Whether it's an important medicine for health and wellbeing or a hard recreational drug can depend greatly on the context.

Yeah, ok, it works on my computer.

"Bots" wasn't the first thing that came to mind when I considered what the Bitcoin Cash community might be full of, actually.

But, yes. I'd be not even a little surprised if it was full of bots too.

Does imgur actually work for anybody? I always get a blank gray screen on my phone. (If I'm not too lazy and I don't forget, I might re-check this post on my typey-typey boomer computer later.)

Reddit is better PR for Lemmy than anything we can do. They'll do something stupid again any day here and Lemmy will receive a big influx of users.

If we really wanted to go evangelize, I think it would still be best to wait until Reddit does something that is going to frustrate users.
