Yeah, originally I had kept all the settings stock but I was having issues with bed adhesion and stringing when I swapped to a different PETG brand. I played with my extrusion rate until that other filament (Overture PETG) printed mostly okay… but honestly that filament still gave me issues on the first layer (mostly edge curling on the bed) so I just ate the extra cost and swapped back to Prusament.

I suppose it probably couldn’t hurt to try a print with all the stock settings just to rule things out.

Interesting - I’m using the stock values for feedrate (max 200 mm/s for XY; 12 for Z; 120 for E; no min feedrate specified), but those are probably tuned for the stock hotend and I can imagine they probably differ for the Revo.

The only thing I can find for the Revo that seems like it would give the numbers I need is this page which talks about max flow rate, but that’s different than feed rate (I’d imagine). The linked calculator puts my settings well within standard limits.

I can’t seem to find anything else online about it - is it just bringing the XYE values down via trial and error, or is there some formula I can use to calculate the correct feed rate?

Why is it called Palestine? What happened to the Second Temple?

I split my time like so:

• Kbin.social: 35%

• Lemmy: 55%

• Reddit: 10%

I prefer Kbin the most, but Ernest has been slow to update the main site and the mobile API is missing (meaning it’s quite bad on mobile, even with the PWA).

Sync works great with Lemmy, so on mobile I use Sync (hello from my phone).

Historically, I’ve used Relay for Reddit for many years at this point. Relay is the one third-party app that didn’t leave. So far, I haven’t had to pay anything either, and nothing has broken.

While my Reddit usage is down, I still occasionally go on Reddit both in my browser and via Relay (while it still works). I usually go to Reddit for the WorldNews live threads and to check the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit.

I do find myself missing out on news I would otherwise have known about. I don’t see dev diaries for Paradox Interactive games here on Lemmy/Kbin, for example. This makes me surprised when a patch comes out (since I don’t see the dev diaries in my feed). Likewise, there are other niche things that I only find out about way later than I used to, and that kind of makes me miss Reddit.

I also find myself engaging more with other social media. I watch a lot more YouTube and TikTok. My Google Pixel has a “for you” article feed as part of the launcher itself; I used to ignore that but find myself browsing it now. I play more games on my phone than I used to.

It’s sort of plugged the hole, but not really. Even when I’m on Reddit nowadays it’s simply not the same.

This is my “main” account nowadays; I still keep that older account around because more places federate with Lemmy.ml than Lemmy.world, so it’s handy to have accounts on multiple instances (I also have a Beehaw and a Kbin account).

Of the 4, I actually prefer Kbin, but it doesn’t have an API yet and thus doesn’t have mobile apps. I avoid Lemmy.ml because of who the admins/maintainers are, and Beehaw - which used to be quite good - has gone downhill since they can’t keep up with the growth of Lemmy. (Which again sort of adds to my point of “it really depends on what instances you cared about before the migration”, which that survey doesn’t quite capture.)

Microsoft is bigger.

Nintendo’s market cap is about $56.7 billion.

Microsoft’s market cap is $2.44 trillion, with $111 billion worth of cash (not equity, cash) in the bank.

Microsoft is 43 times bigger than Nintendo. They can pay for Nintendo with only cash, if they desire.

These trillion-dollar players are an order of magnitude larger than anyone around them. They can do what they want, same as how Apple ($2.8 trillion) can easily buy Disney ($150.5 billion) if they wished.

This isn’t an exact science, but you can use market cap to ballpark these things and get an idea of how much an acquisition would cost. For example, Twitter had a market cap of $31 billion in August 2022, and Elon bought it a few months later for $44 billion. That’s a 1.4x increase, so applying the same math buying all of Disney would “only” cost about $214 billion - which both Apple and Microsoft (and Google) could do. Nintendo would cost about $80 billion, which Microsoft could do without even taking out a loan.

The issue isn’t necessarily the price; it’s the regulators.

What are they going to do? Ban them?

Honestly if I was migrating away from Fandom I’d do everything I can to burn every bridge. Go through and edit every page to have every link redirect to the better wiki. Ignore their 2-week period, and don’t inform the Fandom overlords that the wiki is being shut down (it’s not like they’re going to check without being prompted).

I’d make them ban me, and then good luck finding an admin.

What about all the games that have already been cracked?

Bear in mind this affects every game, including games that have already been released. So if that stuff wasn’t patched out before, then devs would be charged for piracy.

I dunno. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I agree that crackers aren’t bad people, but it leaves some unknowns because you’re counting on them to go above and beyond, essentially.

I dunno if Epic’s licensing is worse. At least it’s a cut of revenue and not charging per install.

Not to mention that Epic gives sweetheart deals to indies periodically. They make their money from Fortnite, not the engine.

This actively hurts the developers and helps Unity.

The devs will be charged for every install. Even if that install wasn’t legitimate.

So if you pirate a Unity game, it’s no longer a victimless crime. You’re actively making the developer pay for your piracy.

Like normally, I am totally cool with piracy. But giving piracy as a solution here is actually detrimental to the developers and doesn’t hurt Unity the company at all.

I think it’s ironic that Adam lost the last game, and this game he’s been disappeared.

I mean - Adam? Who’s Adam? Laurie has always run the channel.

Disappointingly, there is not a miniature France inside of the miniature France.
