Well, if republican politicians and catholic priests are any guide, this means Kutcher and Moore are almost certainly prolific child abusers.

EDIT: oh FFS, their org is THORN?!? The same group of wine mommies trying to destroy the internet with that awful and mislabeled “kids online safety act”?

Fuck them AND their parent-pandering bullshit. Scientologists are nasty business.

Apple threatens to kill FaceTime and iMessage in the U.K in c/technology@beehaw.org

I think the headline is framing this wrong. Apple is not threatening to kill these services.

Apple is refusing to break their services just to accommodate broken, stupid laws written by a broken, stupid parliament.

How Your New Car Tracks You in c/technology@beehaw.org

Ironically, you cannot find out if your car is affected unless you’re willing to share your VIN with the helpful folks at privacy4cars.com

So, since I don’t own a model specifically listed in the story and I value my privacy …

Edit: I was wrong, they would much rather I download their helpful app and use that software they’re implanting on my PHONE to help me re-assert my right to privacy 🤡

These messages are from Daniel Supernault, primary maintainer of Pixelfed.

I don’t want to recap the FediDrama here (drama recaps have a way of becoming drama themselves), but I suspect it’s the reason he’s taking a break.

I’ve never met @dansup but I know he’s contributed so much to the Fediverse and OSS communities. I am still a newb myself (Twexit era). But - for the good of the OSS community - would it be too much to ask we show some respect for the pioneers who got us here?

Filament Dryers in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[-] amotoohno@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The number of photos I’ve seen of completely melted filament rolls, due to either poor oven thermostats or inattentive users … I cannot endorse this technique.

If you’re on a budget, probably better to just power up your heated bed, with a box over top, and dry your spool inside there.

Repurposed food dehydrators seem to rate highly, if you can find a used one for cheap.

I ended up biting the $40 bullet and grabbing a Filadryer S2 when it was on sale.
