everything runs on Valve time.

Shit, I guess we were lucky to get SteamOS 3 then!

Then it’s a shit hobby, or the wrong time in your life for that particular hobby. Hobbies aren’t meant to be financially sound investments, and the best hobbies aren’t cheap.

So piracy is a civil crime, not a criminal one? Awww 😩 All this time I thought I was cooler than I really am. (Sad arrr noises)

Statute of limitations??

Would compressed air or a dust buster be better for this? Or both?

A big problem with this is that since 2016 the bots and hired commenters have thoroughly poisoned the intellectual well. What used to be considered extreme in 2016 was so artificially boosted that now real people have completely bought into the bullshit.

No. Marketing typically equals production costs. So $400mm production + $400mm marketing = $800mm breakeven.

Kbin has this ability, but Lemmy does not (yet).

I’ve been getting a ton of cardboard spools, but I prefer plastic - cardboard is incompatible with my Bambu AMS. To resolve I have to wrap the edge with electric tape, use a printed adapter, or in the worst cases (the cardboard is damaged) respool.

More like Rom.

Totally depends on the challenge of the project - and it follows a bell curve. Too easy and it’s annoying, too difficult (or takes too long) and it’s fucking aggravating. But those rare Goldilocks projects that are a challenge but shit just clicks along? Chefs kiss.

💯

If you’re just getting into Trek, start with TNG season 3. Follow that up either with TNG seasons 1 & 2, or jump into Voyager.

For a darker Trek, watch DS9 - but be aware the first few seasons are very uneven and it gets a LOT better. It’s arguably the best of all the Trek series and well worth the investment to get past the first few seasons.

Enterprise was ok. It’s held up well, except for the theme song which was always trash. Don’t watch the series finale - just, don’t.

For the new series, SNW is the best of the live action bunch. Picard S1 and S2 are steaming piles while S3 was enjoyable and what S1 should have been. I personally enjoyed S1 and S2 of Discovery, while everything past that was truly terrible IMO. Prodigy was really good, if you can get past that it’s geared towards kids (which is obvious from time to time).

You’ve already enjoyed Lower Decks, so 👍

Another vote for UniFi gear. I administer four homes for myself and my family, three of them all use UniFi equipment (and the fourth will next time I get over there, it’s in another country).

Yup.

This seems like a heavy handed mod overreach that we are trying to escape on Reddit

It’s the same mods (or so I’ve been told).

I went with BambuLabs and couldn’t be happier. As a total noob with a healthy budget for a new hobby I wanted something that I could use more often than I had to tinker with it, and it fit the bill nicely. (Don’t get me wrong, plenty of tinkering has still been required lol)

it looks like this in a museum gift shop

Yes, this is the official gift shop in the Roman Coliseum. I found it really strange that they would be selling 3d prints. It’s like, why?? If you want to sell plastic souvenirs, surely injection-molded plastic would be much more efficient, cost-effective, and higher quality.

It feels like maybe the gift-shop managers kid “had a great idea” for his new toy.

“Eco-friendly bio-resin derived from CORN!”

Bitch, that’s PLA! 😂😂

Yes and no? Maybe? I’m still figuring out how all this works lol. I know that instances take on the load of their users and communities.
