It’s pricey, but I see that Prusa has a native Linux app. Would this be a good printer for ambitious newcomers? I would love to be able to make things for the grandkids, like costumes and toys. We also do Warhammer 40K and we would love to be able to make our own terrain, props, and scatter.
LLMs only hallucinate. They happen to be accurate sometimes.
This is sick and the Nobel Prize Committee should be deeply ashamed.
If one of a companies products kills someone, the CEO should be personally liable civilly and criminally.
Yes, and they keep trying to destroy privacy at the EU level.
Liberalism is a rightist ideology. It’s a means to fascist and feudalist ends, but with extra steps to obscure their goals.
I don’t hate FUTO, but I distrust them.
On one hand, their operation is creepy and suspicious.
The extent of the FUTO “grant program”, at least in the case of musl libc, involved ignoring musl’s established process for institutional sponsors, quietly sending a modest one-time donation to one maintainer, and then plastering the logo of a well-respected open source project on a list of “grant recipients” on their home page. Rich eventually posted on Mastodon to clarify that the use of the musl name and logo here was unauthorized.
On the other, I like the idea of licenses that allow unrestricted private use and modification but forbid commercial exploitation. Those two situations are not equivalent. I realize this is an unpopular opinion in many FOSS circles, but we are already being exploited to death by the rich and powerful and they must not be entitled to the value of our collective free and voluntary labor. If we ever realize a society in which wealth and power is effectively capped for such entities, then I would change my tune. Until then, fuck them. Our collective software is for the collective, not for wealth hoarders and despots.
She has been added to the Menu.
We will seize the means of production of Louisettes.

So, like church? lol
Praise the Omnissiah?
Canva just announced the next generation of Affinity. Instead of giving us Linux support, while Affinity is “free” now they crammed in a bunch of AI to upsell you on a subscription.
I’d say it’s no more or less than Ubuntu. An immutable flavor like Silverblue or Bazzite would be more resistant to the technologically challenged, which is why I always recommend one of those to new Linux users first.
I love KDE and have it dialed in exactly how I like it. I was able to get 90% of the way there with the Cosmic beta, which is good enough. The way you can toggle between tiling and floating is incredible. If I hadn’t kept running into frustrating GUI bugs I would have stuck with it.
One other little thing that bothered me was the file manager GUI. KDE Dolphin is hard to beat, and Cosmic’s default is beyond bare-bones in comparison. If S76 keeps investing in Cosmic it could be the best DE by a mile within another year or two.
Canadian parents were not much better, unfortunately.
Fedora would have achieved the same goal.
This is why you find a partner who can compensate for your dysfunction.
You’re absolutely right! 💡— 🌊🐴 wait…
I would never recommend it, but I won’t begrudge anyone Mint. As much as I loathe Cinnamon, it’s still a better choice than Ubuntu. Newcomers could do much worse.
I still recommend Bazzite first and Fedora second. They always “just work” and even Mint has hardware support problems sometimes, especially on newer hardware.
And happy cake day!
To no-ones surprise, he is playing games in defiance of the court orders, and 42 million Americans are now without the food support they need.
