If you like newpipe checkout tubular, it’s a fork that adds some improvements.

Qr scanner. I like that it saves a history of scanned QRs and shows you a warning that scanning qrs can be dangerous

I don’t understand what it does, is it for easier reposting?

I think the one I use the most is printables for mechanic parts and cults 3d for minis. I used to use mainly myminifactory, but they added a managing fee and that’s made me avoid the platform since you pay a bit extra than the published price.

I’ve been trying to avoid makerworld, and creativity cloud since they seem to go in the direction to make it slowly more closed.

Thingiverse was fine, although it seemed a bit abandoned, but if you were looking for older models sometimes it’s the only place.

I think it will be fine for a year or so, but they will push some kind of subscription or premium features.

The community on thingiverse used to be more about sharing and open source, and that seems to have moved mainly to printables. At least we have that option (for now).

Sadly most manufacturers still don’t care about linux support. If you are lucky sometimes there’s a community alternative. But even then some of the advanced features may not work.

What you can do is check on their website which drivers they have available, and avoid buying stuff that doesn’t have Linux support when possible.

With more adoption I hope that it becomes increasingly available, although in practice I’ve seen several products drop their Linux support due to low users. 😢

I dont see why it need blockchain unless it’s needed to keep a registry. Which for day to day communication I think it’s excessive

Charging for themes and tech support seems fine to me. As long as it’s possible to do it yourself.

They need to make money, to continue the development and that seems a good compromise

Don’t give them more ideas

Sadly its really hard to change habits. But it goes both ways, every time I need to use windows I find myself grunting for every minor thing that doesn’t work as expected.

At least to compare software you can use alternativeto.net

It seems that the best way to avoid AI slop is to find a small community on the the topic.

That’s right, a friend told me that he gets a lot more from a single purchase on bandcamp, that from spotify

I just use that for sharing memes with whoever sees it.

Yep, I went to check it as soon as it got announced thinking it would be a couple bucks for a monthly mystery album. but it’s the same price as a regular one. Maybe if could be worth it later when it gets more clubs since you could find one that fits an specific niche. Rightnow the four ones feel a bit generic

Or a pair of great tits

• Are you still left handed?

You can use windows freely without activating, or at least you could last time I needed it.

Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn’t.

In my experience, usually with Linux they have less problems and it’s easier to use. Until they need an application that only works on Windows.

Nothing. What’s up with you?

No, but I remember updog.

I use orca, ideamaker (for the cr30)

And for resin printing i use chitubox

I think all of them I downloaded the appimage from the repo or their main site.

It’s for a custom part for his bike. I don’t know more details but he promised to send a picture once it’s done
