First layer done without issues. I swear Bambu Labs printers are magic... 3.5 hours to go and these will be done :)

Did someone ask for 16 People's Flags of Milwaukee? I hope so... I used gold colored filament and it looks considerably better than yellow, so I clicked "fill the bed" and hit print 🤣 #3dprinting #414 #milwaukee

First layer is nearly done, just 2 more colors to go...

Decided to enjoy some of our local parks as today is Milwaukee Day (414).

Went to see my first movie in a theater in 6 months, and I'm confident we did it safely. We waited until COVID had declined ~85% in our area. Then we bought tickets the 6th week Dune 2 was released for a noon Sunday showing. Outcome:

Only one other person in the 180-seat theater. I had my CO2 monitor, and it never went above a safe 500 ppm. (Outdoor air is just 400 ppm.) There's never a guarantee--everyone has to assess their risks and make decisions--but I loved the movie and am glad we went.

@augieray Wow that theater hasn't changed much since I worked there 20 years ago...

@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@augieray yeah they used to be in the center of your picture then they moved them to the left. Not sure when they removed them as that was after I left. I used to be responsible for emptying the quarters out of them . 😁

The most amusing thing today is my "Encyclopaedia Metallum" page that someone filled in and added all my old bands (click on the "Past Bands" tab) because while it is technically accurate three of those bands never played shows and one or two of them never recorded anything. (Also, they were mostly punk/hardcore bands.)

@rasterweb that's awesome. Too bad my high school band didn't make it there but whatever 🤣

@rasterweb Keep trying what? I still noodle on my guitar every now and then, but I'd much rather just listen to music now 🤣

@rasterweb eh it's fine, I've got my eyes set on a personal wikipedia page 🤣

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb Nice! I'm just in the foot notes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin_(software) 😞

Even if I wasn't having a blast doing multi color prints, being able to control the humidity around my filament in use is why I'd recommend everyone gets an ams or a dry box or whatever... #3dprinting #ams #BambuLab

💡 portal for anonymous telemetry. Hear me out!

Many developers want to have telemetry so that they can learn about how their app is used and how they perform.

It can lead to better software, but it's also a privacy nightmare 😮‍💨

Currently, apps need to enable full network for it (or more) and users have 0 control over it. This is happening. Right now.

What if there was a way to remove all the negative aspects of telemetry so that we can consider it safe? 🛡️

1/2 🧵

@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@sonny yes please!! This is something I would prefer to not build if I can avoid it and we need some basic telemetry badly :)

If one does not understand how blocking I/O works, it is too soon to research async I/O

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@drewdevault This is precisely while @pidgin is moving from sockets to the GSocket abstraction. BSD sockets are too easy to get wrong.

Greetings Programs! Tonight we're working on @pidgin stuff of course, but we may jump into something I've been throwing together for the Pidgin 2 users. Either way, come on by! https://twitch.tv/rw_grim https://youtube.com/ #OpenSourceLive #OpenSource #LiveCoding #C #GTK #Development

All it would take for AI to completely collapse is a ruling in the US saying these companies have to licence the content they used to train these tools.

They simply would never reach a sustainable business model if they had to fairly compensate all the people who wrote, drew, edited, sang or just created the content they use.

Simply being forced to respect attribution and licenses would kill them. Will that ruling ever happen? Maybe not. Should it? I think so.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@thelinuxEXP I would be very surprised if that ruling ever came.

I remember back in college in the 90s having a lot of difficulty with the required length of writing assignments. I used all the tricks of squishing margins and larger font to make whatever it was I wrote look like there was more to it than there was. Now, I'm in college again in the 20s, and I have writing assignments. I don't know if the requirements have changed or I have, but writing assignments of at least 300 words? I can write you 300 words about my breakfast. Maybe I just talk too much.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@mike I have this exact same problem. Now it's more like must stop writing 🤣

@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@mike Exactly!!

Amazon is...

-Working to crush union drives at its warehouses
-Fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional
-Spent over $17 million on anti-union consultants over the past two years

Amazon might just be the most anti-worker corporation of this generation.

grimmy,
@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@rbreich at some point their union busting is going to cost more than the unions would...
