  • Would it be morally right to kill hitler?

    Some people think morally, any murder is wrong.
    Other people think morally, not murdering him would be wrong.

    So - no - there are plenty of shades of grey in morality. Many times, what is moral, is taught from our communities as we grow up.

    The method has changed since that blog post.

    So you are correct about it being stored in the cloud - they also seem to take much better care of it there, but when it's on someone elses server, your point stands - they can SAY they do anything. There's no way to actually test that. So thanks for the correction.

  • Your encryption key is stored ON-DEVICE. Not in "the cloud".

    In fact, they just had a big hullabalu about the encryption key being stored in plain-text on their desktop client, which they've now resolved.

    They now use https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/safe-storage on the desktop client.

  • I don't think they should get killed, but I think they should fear getting killed. It's the lack of fear that causes them not to even think about normal people when they make decisions.

  • I dunno - why do you change your style of clothes in different seasons?

    Because you want to. Does it need a greater explanation than that?

    I'm down to clown when it comes to criticizing Trump for shit, but this realistically isn't going to do anything except make people big mad, for reasons they can't actually explain. If "your" candidate (whoever that is) wanted to do it, you'd make excuses for why it was a perfectly okay thing to do. I'm just reasonable and realize it doesn't really fucking matter. In 4 years it'll change back to Gulf of Mexico, and nobody will even remember it was a thing in 20.

    So why let this rage bait drive you?

  • This somehow manages to cause us to backslide. Pride messaging ends up selling well. People who aren't into it, but aren't really bigots are like "eh cool, equality sounds great". Obviously the communities that it targets, it's working on. The people who don't like it - aren't gonna cause a big fuss about it, so the buy their shit and get out.

    But then the problem becomes those same people who said nothing in the store - and those who aren't actively "into" it, are now seeing it everywhere. And they aren't tying it in their minds to an equality movement, they're tying it to advertising. But you know how the advertising gets - it's kind of "fad"-y. Well, the rainbow advertising 'fad' as been going on for quite some time.

    So now, LGBT stuff is "everywhere", but - people are growing tired of it for the wrong reasons. They're growing tired of the advertising side of it, and it's causing problems on the human-rights side of it...

  • I think with Nintendo's attack on emulators and stuff, I'm going to finally crack my OG switch (the unpatchable one) and rip all of my games and buy a Steamdeck, honestly. I heard emulation there is great, and I've already backed up all of the emulators since before they were taken down.

    If the Switch 2 is backwards compatible and can play the OG switch games; then we know exactly WHY they started the crackdown - because likely the same methods as before will work just fine against the Switch 2 as well.

    I won't pirate the games, but I don't think I'm gonna worry about my old switch being banned from their online network any longer either. Especially after they shut down the old DS network.

  • Good stuff. It looks like you put the lock washer on the M4 nut that holds the idler bearing on the arm correctly. Soooo many people fuck that simple thing up.

    The set screw doesn't seem to be aligned with the flat on the motor shaft - I'd make sure that's tightened up; but otherwise, everything looks fine...ish.

    Only thing I see missing is something called a "Rivnut"; it looks kind of like a little thimble looking thing -- it's supposed to go inside of the spring, and cover the M4 buttonhead and act as a tensioner - but in most cases, you don't need to be adjusting that anyways, so what you have here is fine. Good job assembling it correctly.

  • That extrusion seems awfully fat for a 0.4mm nozzle. But also probably shows that your extruder is pushing mostly fine.

    If it's a silk filament, however, they tend to die-swell much more than others.

    Stop "leveling the bed". If you've leveled it once, it's probably good enough - the problem is most definitely in your extruder or somewhere else.

    What extruder are you using (the thing that pushes the plastic?) You've shown your hot end, but not the business end of the thing that feeds the filament.

  • Make sure you didn't accidentally turn "E in mm^3" on in the settings (if it's stock firmware) -- no fucking clue why they allowed that setting to stay on that machine; as it was from a time when switching from the 3mm standard to 1.75mm standard.

    Also, never listen to anyone who tells you to start adjusting E-steps to fix a flow problem. They mean well, but they clearly don't have enough experience to understand when or why you'd want to change that. E-Steps is a calculated value from the manufacturer based on known dimensions. If something is wrong hardware-wise, you fix THAT instead. E-Step adjustment was for the old days when you were making your own hobbed bolts by running a tap along the edge of a bolt and every bolt you made came out with a different effective diameter. Manufacturers know the exact diameter of their drive gears, and thus know the correct estep value and you don't need to change it.

    sniped down the bowing tube and made sure it was flush with the nozzle.

    The fact that you said you snipped the bowden tube worries me; you've gotta cut it with a blade. Flush cutters do not leave it flat enough at the bottom and you've likely just caused yourself more issue. Either use a PTFE cutter designed for it, or a razor blade of some sort (Xacto knife, paint scraper blade, etc)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKN0VOuul0o -- This video is quite possibly one of the best videos on the subject matter. Take 14 minutes out of your life and read it and commit the knowledge to memory; especially if you own an older Ender 3.

    You can also disconnect your PTFE tubing from the extruder side of the equation, heat up your hot end, and try to extrude 100mm of filament, while trying to hold back the filament from the extruder -- It should be pretty strong, if it slips too easily, you can narrow down your issue to the extruder. If it's strong, but it's tearing the filament apart when you try and print - then the issue will be down at the hot end. (Or possibly misconfigured slicer setting, like you've set your layer height to 3.0mm instead of 0.3mm for example) You want to divide and conquer here. Test the pieces separately, then fix the actual issue.

    Additionally, Touch probes don't fix leveling issues. If the machine isn't printing fine before you add a touch probe, they won't magically make things work - all they do is automate the process for an already perfectly-functioning machine. They can also correct for non-linear malformations, but they are not there to fix a leveling issue if you have one.

    Check your nozzle diameter too -- that looks similar enough to glow-in-the-dark filament that I'm going to mention it -- DON'T. Glow in the dark filament is as abrasive as carbon fiber, and if your machine isn't set up to handle it, it will wallow out a nozzle until it doesn't match what the printer expects. If it's wallowed out, you'll regularly end up with nasty surfaces, etc.

    There are so many things that this could be. Change your E-steps back to 93 if you've changed it. You'll only mask the problem. If you've swapped over to some sort of dual-gear extruder (bad idea btw) - make sure your E-steps match what they tell you to use (typically 130) - or you can get this too.

    More, good, well-lit pictures of the extruder area of your machine would help diagnosis - hot end with the fan shroud/cover off might help too. Basically -- the more information you can give us, the easier it is for us to help. Pictures do a lot for those with good attention to detail; as you might miss something that we won't.

  • Especially on Lemmy. Every misspelling is "AI" to some of these anti-AI whackos. It's like they've never seen shit webpages before. They don't know that AI spans thousands of different task types, and generalized AI is nowhere near being accomplished.

    Those that really understand what "AI" consists of, understand it's got weaknesses and strengths. And that those strengths can be used for both good things, and bad things.
