I don't agree with everything in this article, but it's a good read. I'm actually of many opinions and it might require a blog post to get more in-depth, but give it a look if you care about open source software.

Pro Tip: If you are unsure how to spell "conscious" just spell "unconscious" but remove the "un" at the beginning.
I called Musk a “dummy” in a 3D printing group on Facebook. People took offense and some came to his defense…
Anyone on the Fediverse care to defend Musk? Explain how he’s a genius please.
Trying some solar stuff today to charge up a battery to power the lights on the Free Little Art Gallery…
This is one of the 3D printed rugged boxes I made with a silicone seal I cast. The wires are just pinched between the silicone. Not ideal, but should work for testing.

I made a handlebar mounted sliding holster/holder for my Heltec V3 by modifying the "Pager Style Holster" designed by Alley Cat... It just attaches with zip ties for now.

The hams will probably come after me but I do wish there were some simpler license than the technicians because there is so much obscure knowledge that just isn't needed.
I needed a way to convert paper rolls with 3" core to fit on a 2" holder... OpenSCAD to the rescue, as always...

I’m a bit worried I’m going to get pulled into this whole Meshtastic thing because of nostr:npub1hucngs4g83rnvqrxtan2mx54leh5ldrmag3vaf3e7v9ch7z859xqwus8yt but also I think I’m okay with that.
(Better start following that #Meshtastic hashtag!)
It's 2024! Are there any options for controlling and printing to a 3D printer from a desktop computer via a USB cable?

So it seems that people are not happy about the addition of AI features in Firefox...

People use the term "GOAT" which stands for "Greatest Of All Time" but that assumes no one in the future will be better...
We could use "GOATSF" which stands for "Greatest Of All Time, So Far" but that sounds weird...
So I propose we use "GOATSE" which stands for "Greatest Of All Time, Some Exceptions".
Any reasons why this wouldn't work?
I'll be writing up a review of the three pizzas I've had so far in the Twin Cities, but there may be more to come before I go! 🍕
My friend has a kitty name Popper that causes so much mayhem! Yesterday she left the fridge open for a minute while her back was turned and this happened.

Okay, 2 out of 3 computers so far work perfectly with my WezTerm setup, so it's just a weird thing on one of them I still need to track down.
I should note that it is 100% usable, it's just a weird little quirk that is bothering me so I'll probably spend some time trying to chase it down because I am that kind of yak shaver.
Why do we have so many programming languages!?
Ah shit... I wish I would have changed the filament roll before I left home today... I have a print that is 98% done which will have to wait until I get home to finish.
