Actually yeah. i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places… which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.

still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux and tech are on .ml

Jpg at 70% will lose a significant amount of detail. It is a “lossy” format, you cant judt compress data for nothing.

AVIF is significantly more efficient than jpeg, so it loses less image data for higher compression (smaller file sizes).

JXL supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is supposed to be more efficient yet over AVIF. However it’s got proprietary all over it because Google et al. For thst alone I would shy away from JXL and go AVIF.

Often a combination of temp too high, not enough retraction, or water contaminated filament.

If the plastic in the hot end is too hot it will keep “running” out of the nozzle after retraction and you’ll get strings. Similarly if you don’t retract enough to actually pull plastic out of the nozzle during a rapid move, it will want to keep pushing thru. This is supported by the little blobs it leaves on that angled surface corner its travelling to when stringing, thats excess material squeezing out during its rapid moves then being left on that wall.
And if there’s water in your filament all bets are off on how it’ll behave.

215 is pretty warm for that esun PLA especially if you’re using the stock brass nozzle, try bumping that down to 205 or even 200, and increase your retraction speed and distance settings in prusaslicer a tiny amount (0.1mm distance, 2mm/s speed at a time until you see improvement is plenty)

Use a temperature calibration tower to test things out.

They still do. There’s so much shit in Windows 10/11that could phone home and shut down your install if you don’t have a valid license, but Microsoft doesn’t actually give a shit if you have a license or not. They just want to make sure you have their botnet installed and not any other OS.

Aside from hard science and engineering degrees where the technical knowledge is a foundation for what you’ll learn in industry, a college degree is simply a piece of paper that says “I received a balanced education and have my life together enough to focus, manage time, and complete tasks reliably for 4 years straight.” Rarely do you ever use most of the knowledge you gained in college besides the aforementioned life management skills.

Well just don’t ask a Pentium processor for it either…

Y’all need more fiber in ya life

Translation: “fuck we got caught manipulating our site again. I’m going to tell them to be more careful”

Outside of the hard sciences where youre there to learn necessary specific foundational knowledge and technical stuff - mech/elec/civil engineering, high level medical, etc - it really doesn’t. The degree is proof that you can put your head down and manage yourself well enough to survive in the white collar world.

this just in: actually spending money on QA allows you to put out a higher quality product

Thanks, Steam Deck.

Except you’ve actually changed nothing. Apple forces all third party browsers on their devices to use WebKit (the Safari engine) for the backend, so really all changing browsers does is give you a reskin under Apple’s thumb.

What in the manufactured persecution fetish is this bullshit? Where’s the meme?

Depends where you live. Areas with a smaller craft brew scene do end up with the “nothing but IPA” problem. But where I live in the PNW there’s simply so damn many that even with 50% of them being IPA’s, you still get a huge selection of other pilsners, stouts, amber ales, hefenweizens… its pretty nice.

Get. Rid. Of. Their. Router.

ISP provided networking routers are inherently garbage. They don’t want users messing with that, because your average user doesn’t even know what the fuck an ethernet cable is and will break everything by fucking around in it.

Run your own router and put theirs into modem only mode with routing and wifi disabled. If that’s not an option ask their tech support if you can buy your own DOCSIS/fiber modem (or whatever hardware you use) and return their hardware. If they also don’t allow that… well, switch or just suck it and deal with it while the ISP rubs their nipples some more.

Doing the lord’s work. What a shitfest of a modlog, real winner this guy is

Edit: dear God he keeps MAKING MORE. This dude seriously needs to get a life or something

Ayo I’m in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-

For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I’ve seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist “memes”. Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I’m sure more will pop up.

Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven’t a clue…

Honestly, its gotta be the MS Office suite.

Yes if you’re just writing your own simple documents libreoffice/OpenOffice will work, but if you have to do anything more complex than a single page spreadsheet, text-on-white presentations, or 3 page MLA book reports… or, even worse, have to interact with documents and spreadsheets created by basically any other person on the planet, I’ve just never had a good consistent experience with any of the free options.
