There is a workaround for this, which is to use a service like JMP.chat to redirect SMS to XMPP, at which point you only need to ensure internet which is a bit of a lower requirement than specific networks (but of course may still become more limiting over time)

It’s too early to be certain, but I’ve got high hopes for the future of the SHIFT 6mq.

I believe it has mainline linux support, or it is being worked on, which will be important for ongoing OS upgrades. Otherwise they have a similar philosophy to Fairphone with an important difference; SHIFT wants you to be able to upgrade their phones, not just repair them. I don’t think this has been realistically tested yet, but the successor SHIFTPHONE 8 is coming out imminently, and I think we should start to see pretty soon if any of the new modules can be installed on the older model.

I’ve actually got the SHIFTPHONE 8 coming myself, because I got spooked by places turning off 3G already and wanted to “future proof” with 5G, but otherwise would have preferred the 6mq.

The one caveat is that SHIFT is a very small company, which could mean risk for long term support.

What do the exclamation points mean?

What thing called turtle are you referring to?

You would be giving up some feed-rate control and retraction. Probably not too bad with certain materials and large scale prints, but I’d be surprised if you could do anything moderately precise with this.

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they’ll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

Only just got your reply, but just in case:

Make sure to read through this if you are exploring this route https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/wiki/Setup-PrusaSlicer

Did you… try?

I’ve migrated from Lychee to Prusaslicer+UVTools. It’s less ergonomic, and the auto supports seem a little light-on, but it fulfills my needs and being open source means a lot to me.

The entire suite of new TLDs was dumb as a bag of rocks, but dot zip really takes the cake

IMO there are exceptionally few cases where it is acceptable for a QR code to not be immediately adjacent to a textual representation of the same content.

It’s amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.

I’ve met multiple sites that won’t load the unsubscribe page without disabling ad blockers.

Those get spam listed the same as login walls.

I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy

Simulink has a concept called Test Harnesses which are models that isolate individual blocks for testing. The tests themselves are then driven programmatically from MATLAB

Have you got concurrency and parallelism swapped around?

Australia has ABC Vote Compass, but it has some oddities based on issues with our political/media landscape:

• it only places you relative to the three top parties
• all the questions are specific election wedge issues (mostly between the top two parties) rather than broader ideological questions, and so it only updates in the run up to each federal (read: national, Australia wide) election
• it takes politicians statements at face value, and doesn’t factor in actual behaviour in power which is often at odds (if you’re curious, look up the history of high speed rail or nuclear power in Australia. Both have been used for electioneering again and again, neither exist despite the advocating party winning)

That’s a completely different statement
