1·2 months agothe print head is actually the part I’d like to escape, they are expensive to manufacture, get clogged, and burn out after 3 years of use – sooner than that for the throw away ones in the consumer market. print heads also necessitates an ink flushing system capable of suction. printer that use powder toner can sit for years with only toner degradation but does not ruin the printer itself, unlike leaking ink, or dried ink to the print head. beyond the print heads fragility, the head would need tight micro second electric pulseses set to fire at particular moments in conjuction with the movement of the XY axis. not saying your wrong but i’m just looking at this at a different angle. i want a printer that is hack-able, serviceable and easy to understand.

3·2 months agoI have, that’s the printer by the Raspberry Pie team I reference, a step in the right direction but still dependent on proprietary technology which by design is meant for land fill.

UK leftists@feddit.uk•The Green Party (UK) just voted to discuss abolishing landlords for good
6·4 months agoI disagree. my generation is the one of the few who wont own a property, while housing sits empty. this isnt a supply issue, its a monopoly issue. we have been priced out.
another great article, thanks for posting! and solidarity from South West Devon.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Steam doesn’t want to pay arbitration fees, tells gamers to sue instead
41·1 year agoBefore proton we used wine. And wine will continue development with or without steam.
If anything the open source community did more and gave steam a firm platform to build on.
Edit: And to add an observation steams push for Linux is a reaction to Microsoft becoming a contender in the PC games market place. Its not for our benefit anymore than for valves.

Tablets not supported sadly
Wayland seems to be different, maybe I’ll install x11 DWM
I’d also once switched to zsh but some of my scripts had failed to run so I’m back to bash, blue.sh is okay, mostly use it for auto-fill
Looks great but is it a dead.project, last update in 2019
Ive read about this, good to know but infinite canvas applications lend them selves well to mindless doodles and expanding canvas is extra work that I am too lazy for
Yea I gave it ago, it crashed afew times and seemed to be very limited

















thank you comrade. I’m a trot so, pretty far from tankies. that said, we are fighting for a classless society, the structural organization will be a struggle for after the revolution
