Honestly, this whole thing surprises me. I have a lot of respect for Ars Technica. I hope they clean this up and prevent further issues in the future.

KDE because I liked it when I used it and wanted it to get even better. And Lichess because it’s what I wish all free services were like. I should do more.

Absolutely. When you’re making a book cover, a pretty typical method is to take book board (chipboard-like material, similar to the back cover of notebooks) and glue it on book cloth or paper. Then you fold over edges of the cloth/paper. You don’t need to cover the inside because that’s where the actual pages of the book will be, but you need some overlap (e.g. 25mm).

But the corner is a bit tricky. If you don’t trim at all, you have an extra triangle of folded paper that gets in the way. If you cut it off too close to the book board, you will see the board peeking through. So you want to cut the corner off with a little gap. And if you get the angle wrong, the fold doesn’t look quite right. This jig gives both spacing and angle, and it has an added bonus of the notches to let you mark your cuts for the fold over on each side.

The first 30 seconds of this video illustrate it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4IzpDqbHqU

I really like Build123d. I hope someday the model sites like Printables and Makerworld support it like they do OpenSCAD.

Azure is not Entra. AAD became Entra. They did it because AAD was becoming less about Azure and covering more things than directories. So a rebranding made sense.

It’s a pretty dumb name, though. It doesn’t really mean much when you hear it, and it sounds too similar to other common words.

Finamp is great.

Maybe unpopular opinion here, but I just read The Three Musketeers, and it’s not even close to The Count of Monte Cristo.

The characters wildly change in tone and basic morals, the heroes are dirtbags, and the plot wanders.

I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn’t the same.

There’s a chain near me that makes a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, white cheddar, a really excellent garlic aioli, and Ciabatta bread.

I go there way too much.

Fringe is great. Season 1 is a bit “Monster of the week” but when it gets going it’s a great ride.

If you haven’t seen it, Ex Machina (2014) fits the vibe of your list. It’s one of my favorites.
