@rasterweb Kinda? If you were making something very small or precision where 1/10ths of a mm mattered, then you might want to match your designs to anticipated slicing - so 0.10, 0.15, etc.
I like to print 0.15-0.20 mm layers as a good resolution/speed tradeoff and generally plan for a measure of space for moving parts/clearance for snap fit parts, so I rarely run into this kind of a problem.
CAN CONFIRM: Oblivion Remastered totally loads up on an M1 Mac, using Crossover. Which means I can play this thing on my MacBook as well as on my Steam Deck. :D
I'll report later about what this means for me in terms of graphics!
What are your favorite permanent inks? I mostly use Noodler's, but I'd to expand my ink collection, though various factors have me relying almost exclusively on permanent inks.

When life gives you a watercolour of the Gatliff Trust Hebredian hostel at Howmore, make lithophane lampshades. If it hasn't yet, visit South Uist and ask for Bryan Foote.

remembering a job a few years ago where there was much eye-rolling and tutting at me because I refused to share A BED with a colleague
plus there's a very good chance I'd have to share accommodation (if not a room) with my very very annoying boss for a week
argh going to tell work that I can't go to Scilly in the middle of June, there's just too much on and it's too far away 😭

@accudio Wow you print your own stickers!
This is both amazing and incredibly dangerous 😁
The C64 BBS FriaBad offers the daily price per kilo of shrimp when you log out. It's worth calling that board just for that service!

A couple of months ago I sent off for some cheap “onion skin” paper. I’d completely forgotten that I’d ordered it and when I opened the package I thought it looked like it wouldn’t cope with fountain pen ink.
Well, I was wrong, it’s really interesting. It has a slightly rough texture on one side but it works well. It didn’t seem to show much sheen with a heavy sheening ink, BPC Tesla Coil. However shimmer ink looks amazing on it.
Despite the amazing view of Mt. Hood, I truly hate biking on TV Hwy in Aloha… there’s some construction going on right now so the only option for us is to merge 2 lanes to the left to ride with all the cars in a single lane 💀 (I crossed and rode on the sidewalk.)
Did #argonlaser ever happen? Let's see....
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used nin the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!
So, I’ve pretty much switched from Microsoft Office to @libreoffice. Cost was definitely a factor, as well as lack of AI/Copilot BS.
Oh, and everything I threw at it worked flawlessly. That’s the main reason.
@hanscees Im not sure about autism, but I heard a theory once that ADHD may have evolved as a beneficial addition to nomadic human groups in a neurobiological version of division of labour. In this way, the reason ADHD and autism are disorders now is not because of inherent *individual* impairments as much as the structure of society under neurotypical lines. Everyone had a role in the tribe based on your own abilities- now you’re labor to be extracted with no tolerance for deviance.
A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/diybooklamp.
Feel free to ask any questions.

I swear there used to be a time when my reaction to new software features wasn't a resigned sigh followed by figuring out how to switch it off.
New bit of AI bollocks. Someone has noticed that if you Google any old phrase and add the word 'meaning' you'll get an AI explanation of the well-known idiom or proverb you just made up:
Hi! I'm looking for a job around Sttuttgart (fully remote or hybrid)!
I am 26 years old and am looking for a job in software engineering. Languages I use are mostly Rust, Go, and C, but I'm open to learn other languages.
I am interested in embedded Linux, Linux kernel (core or driver development, including Rust for Linux), or "low-level" application development. Besides software development, I am intersted in creation of root filesystems, and in helping to maintain (custom) Linux distributions. I occasionally contribute to Alpine Linux in my free time and have experience maintaining a custom Debian-based distribution.
You can contact me here or through any of the channels listed on my website: https://wiredspace.de/about/#contact
I will give out my CV after initial contact as I'm not comfortable posting it online.
Thank you!
@xabean Years ago (in 2012) they also sent out mails with things like: "In Celebration of *Day Against DRM*
Save 50% on ALL Ebooks & Videos" and Ebooks from oreilly.com are DRM-free. You get free lifetime access, multiple file formats, free updates.
But in the last years, all their books were/are with DRM. After they switched it, I stopped even considering Oreilly. More than happy to pay for books - but then I also want to actually be in control of the ability to read them.
Huh. I wonder how sighted people like it.
If you get it, boost it.

I'm calling it now. At base AI is useful to capital because (they hope) it will finally destroy any last shred of the power of labor and supercharge productivity. All this nonsense about its extraordinary social benefits to humanity is just ideological…
