@kevie Good morning et #tzag, my friend. May your tea be hot and your blessings plentiful for what promises to be a beautiful day (weatherwise, at least!)

Out shopping with @Moosical - we usually make jokes about not needing a bag because we have each other (Caroline referring to me as a bag, for example)

Today, we're in Sports Direct... Caroline is asked if she needs a bag, and says no... referring to me as her "pack horse".

I mean, that's a new one!

@dick_turpin I thought you agreed to stop doing that?

@zerozx
This is analogous to Gecko Vs Blink. Only Firefox uses Gecko (Cura), but most other browsers use Blink (Slic3r derivatives). All Blink-based browsers have their own discrete features, and Firefox will never adopt Blink 😁

Bottom line is that the maintainers of each of these pieces of software believe they have the best version/variant... I think you'd struggle to get them to align.

Please, I beg you, prove me wrong!

@Floppy

@Floppy Standing on the shoulders of giants.

I understand why Slic3r was forked, but why downstream didn't contribute to PrusaSlicer, I don't know.

Although Bambu is a competitor to Prusa, so perhaps that's why?

@dbattistella You've just taught me the word "pogrom" - thank you. Now I have a name for what's happening about 7mi/10km from my doorstep (Rotherham, UK)

>> #Mastodon doesn't want or need advertising revenue

This is only sustainable in the long run if people pay a monthly fee, even if it’s small, to financially support their instance.

Otherwise, #Freeloaders will ruin it for everybody, sooner or later

@Paul
Waffle is part of my morning routine. Love this game.

@denschub Ouch, that stings! 😞😆

@morph
Good morning, hot coffee, and a peaceful day to all #tzag

@SolusSpider
Might have to do mine tomorrow.

@SolusSpider "Not all of it is toxic, at least for me."

Completely agree, this is why I haven't deleted the accounts - and probably won't, either. We have a fairly large family gathering in a private Facebook group, so I don't want to lose that... as just one example.

I will continue to use these services (well, probably not Threads), but on _my_ terms.

Plus, my accounts hold my identity... I don't want someone else to yoink my usernames 😁

Last night I took the decision to remove the Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and Threads apps from my phone and tablet.

This is the first of a few steps to rid myself of the toxicity of social media.

Next step will be to pare down groups, pages, and individuals that I follow to just those I want to be a part of.

Social media can be a nasty place, and over the last few weeks, Facebook - specifically - has been an unhealthy place for me... and I don't want that any more.

A very good hot coffee morning to you all! ☕

Good morning @theru ☕

@popey Beautiful though.

@craigmaloney I used OS/2 Warp 4 as my primary OS for ages, whilst discovering that it ran Windows 3.1 applications better than Windows 3.1 did.

I shall have to give this a try.

@conniptions Congratulations!
