No problem! I'm glad you got it working!

I would just pull the first filament away from the bed and the rest usually follows along and you get a little birds nest.

I barely use a calculator, but you could try SageMath if you like the thought of writing you math in Python.

I mean inserting the pause gcode command in the slicer. The idea is that this command is very basic, so every printer supports it, as opposed to a filament change command.

I used Cura and IIRC you could add "move away from the print and move back when unpaused" commands.

I haven't 3d printed for far too long, so my memory is very blurry. You might be better off looking for a Youtube video or googling for a tutorial, but it wasn't rocket science once someone on the internet explained it to me.

Edit: maybe try searching for something like "3d printer filament change pause"

You can also just pause it and change filament manually.

Just remember to push through some of the filament until the color comming out is right.

Then use Bugzilla. That will show you are ready to flail yourself for the good of the company /s

Sorry, but i find that platform so painful to use.

On a more serious note, i think some of the "github-style" (Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo) can migrate between each other.

Check out if that's true and if so, try them all!

Forgejo/Gitea are probably the most common "low-resource" (read: doesn't use a couple of GB RAM, like Gitlab supposedly does) code forges.

Do you want to impress future employers by running an enterprise-grade bugtracker or by showing that you can document your work with meaningful bug reports/etc.?

If it's the first option, consider Gitlab, if it's the second option, what ever you like.

I don't know about Australia, but in the countries i have heard about with compulsory voting, it's totally legal to vote blank, i.e. not actually vote for anyone. You just have to go to the polling station and put your blank ballot in the box.

So you're (if i'm not mistaken) not forced to vote for a party you don't agree with.

There already good recommendations, so i'll just add that you shouldn't make your work life harder for the sake of running Linux.

Definetly give it a go, and see if it fulfills your needs, but maybe hold off on nuking your Windows install until you are satisfied.

I use my Linux computer for personal stuff and some work stuff (web-browsing, email, office suite) and i have a separate Windows PC just for running applications specific to my field, which don't have Linux versions or alternatives (or where it makes the most sense for me to use the industry standard)

I can't find it now, but i'm pretty sure there exists smart home light switches that are powered by you pressing it.

IIRC they run Zigbee to communicate with the smart home and had a bit more resistance when pressing (= more energy).

Because they will quickly use up a ton of storage just for showing other instances content, or did i misunderstand you?

That is a good question, but methods like pruning old content from other instances might evolve into a path for solving this (very real problem).

Federation as it stands right now is a terrible system.

I beg to differ. Right now federation is an okay solution. My proof is that it at least works, and that the problem you mention isn't killing the fediverse (yet).

We should not forget that ActivityPub is a W3C standard, (which itself is a huge milestone for a decentralized internet) and like other similiar standards (eg. HTTP) it can be iterated on and improved when solutions to new or old problems are found.

I believe we are reffering to two different, but related things.

As i understand your comment, you are reffering to "the platform is responsible for what the users upload to it", or rather whether they are responsible and i am reffering to "(eg.) Torrent sites don't host copyrighted content, they only link to it".

My knowledge about the latter is from many years ago, so i might be wholly or partly wrong.

The former i think is a really interesting balancing act, since i believe that huge platforms that earns billions on hosting user content should be forced to use some of that profit to remove dangerous content, but if that obligation was put on small platforms like Lemmy instances or even the initial Twitter or Facebook, right when they lanched, they would be never be able to get up and running, which would cement the current Big Tech monopolies.

I am not very knowledgable about this specific topic, but i believe the European Unions attempts at solving this is distinguishing between the giants and everybody else, which again, is a great balancing act.


Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it's a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.

Thank you for correcting me. It makes a lot more sense that you can't just encode something to make it legal.

At least talk about.

That's what she's criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.

The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.
