First test of an E3D ObXidian nozzle with some fairly abrasive matte material.
I had this roll of filament sitting on my shelf for over a year after it had already ruined a pair of regular brass nozzles.
Let's see how this goes!

No one should be surprised when this man, who claims AI is “one of the biggest threats to humanity,” steadfastly unleashes predictions to his own dire rhetoric on the world.

"Musk also revealed that Grok had access to user posts on X, which he owns, and has a penchant for sarcastic responses."

@verge Google (and Apple) were right to be terrified of sideloading; their OSes are insecure and not even 10% of the software delivered as native apps today should be allowed the default superpowers that native platforms (unwisely) dole out like candy today.
But the right response isn't to undermine competition they way they have; it's to secure their damned OSes and move most apps back onto the web where they can do less damage and track users less.

@verge It's always best to conceive of huge firms as agglomerations of smaller companies that, in their default state, have no love for each other. Them's the breaks. Even so, this sort of antisocial behaviour is only facilitated by the rest of the org a.) not knowing (see also: MADA) and b.) assuming everyone else is doing the right thing because you try to.
Google's shady dealings w/ Android & Play aren't going to look good in sunlight. This trial is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

So, Epic v. Google is going forward, and this 2021 piece was linked from @verge's coverage:

The Play and Android teams were always antagonistic toward the web (which they saw as a threat) in my time there, but some of this stuff...wow.

I want a dead fricking simple GUI app for Fedora/sway/Wayland that opens a video, lets me drag handles for the beginning and ending of a clip, and then export that clip to a file. I realize that Kdenlive and other full fledged editors exist but I would like the app to be super lightweight with resonable defaults.
Does this exist? If you know of such a thing, please let me know.

After running some simulations, it really does seem like the simple act of installing a smart thermostat system across my house is the single biggest thing I've done to save energy/help the environment/whatever. I'm projected to save between 30% and 40% on natural gas usage. That's nuts!
More people should do this. Rather, more people should have amazing partners that remind them to do this for two years.

This wasn't an algorithmic suggestion. I suspect somebody on here linked to this, but I can't recall. Anyway, I'm enjoying this song that feels like it rolls along at a good clip. First Aid Kit's "My Silver Lining":

(Kind of reminds me of the days when I was a bit less rooted anywhere and moved every year or so. It would've made a good soundtrack as I drove from New York to Seattle to San Diego and then finally back to Albuquerque.)
