Its just where philosophical and practical meet the road for me.

Proton is a cool idea because they say they don't scan anything, and that brought me in; but not being able to use an email client of my choice made my day to day experience less pleasant. If you're in desperate need of the encryption on their servers it may be a totally reasonable trade off, but it wasn't for me and I've heard many others say basically the same.

Because my main objective was not having my personal emails feed the corporate giants my personal information, rather than a hard requirement of encryption, it makes a lot more sense to use fastmail or a similar service and keep the day to day usability of not being completely locked into the proton ecosystem.

Same thing for my calendar, more important to be able to share events with people not logged into proton and to use the client I actually like.

Side note: much of the sell of proton mail gets tossed out the window when you send an email to anyone not using proton. If you email someone using gmail or apple or whatever that server side encryption from proton doesn't mean dick anymore.

I went from bazzite to cachyos handheld recently and I feel like cachyos is just a much more polished experience.

If you're already moving to Graphene, just use Vanadium as your browser. It ships with GOS and is an excellent privacy choice.

Also, proton mail kinda sucks. I used it for a while but switched to fastmail because an email account with zero interoperability is kinda a lousy used experience.

Edit: same with proton calendar. I like the concept but in practice having a locked away calendar isn't a great feel.

Well played.

Cold pulling is where you heat the hot end up to just past the melting point of your filament and push a bit of filament through it by hand until an inch or so comes through, then you cut the heat and let the nozzle cool down a bit, then pull the filament back through the extruder side.

This basically traps all the little bits of semi-melted plastic left behind from previous prints, and pulls them out as one big glob.

Different guides will give different advice about the temp to cool to, but basically you want it cool enough that it puts up meaningful resistance pulling the filament back out by hand but isn't impossible.

You should probably do this on some routine, but at the very least after any clog and when you get print errors that you can't immediately diagnose. Partial clogs are responsible for way more issues than you might think.

You say you cleaned the nozzle, did you do a cold pull? Sounds like a potential clog.

Yaarrr just going to have to find it on your own. It's kinda a black spot for most communities to link there. My friend Davy Jones got in trouble for it once, the rules sailed right over his head. Now I need to go drink some High C.

I wanted to use the deck as a PC but I couldn't do any dev work on it without jumping through hoops thanks to a lack of tooling provided and the immutable nature of SteamOS.

However, replacing StreamOS with CachyOS Handheld has reopened doors there in a big way.

Did you read the article? Like, everyone is against this. The governor is against this. I live in Oregon and I promise you this entire thing is absurd.

In fact, it's so absurd that it seems more likely that this is a bizarre false flag by the Republicans to discredit "the liberals". Evidence for this includes Republican leaders already publicly claiming this is an attack on Oregon's economy by "[Oregon governor Tina] Kotek's allies" (unspecified)... Despite Kotek herself being vocally against this.

Edit: and it's frustrating how effective it is, just looking at the comments in this thread. No real questioning about the legitimacy of what's happening, just taking the article title at face value despite it being extremely misleading.

I think I may be in the minority here; my family uses phone tracking across the board, but I don't think I've ever used it because I was worried, or to make sure someone is where they said they'd be. The vast majority of the time I check, which is infrequent, it's to see how far away someone is and guess at travel time. Like, "let's see how much game time I have before they pull up" or "do I have time to start a new episode?"

It is nice to know its there for an emergency though, I guess.
