I wish BambuStudio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, and Cura could all agree to work towards using standards compliant 3mf as much as possible instead of creating proprietary data structures inside 3mf. The current software interoperability is really poor. Too many flavors of 3mf exist.

Spotify put an AI generated song in my weekly recommendations and ugh. Wish there was a way to globally turn that off.

I have been waiting for this for 4 years. It makes it possible to do all kinds of neat simulation stuff that otherwise isn’t possible without grids. #b3d #geometrynodes

In Blender 5.0, Geometry Nodes support for volumetric data will be significantly better.

Hot take: the last 24 seconds of Monster Mash aren’t good. The song is otherwise an iconic masterpiece.

I think something can be called "shipped" when it's first in possession by the carrier and not when you've just printed the shipping label.

Andor is easily the best Star Wars ever made and there aren’t lightsabers in it. Instead we just have believable dialogue and a coherent story with character development. Action wise season 1 felt a slow burn getting started but season 2 was continuous and had plenty of tension in every scene.

An incredible out of context quote from “Careless People” was, “…I’m informed that Big Bird can’t take the stage after dark, and that Big Bird and his team are not prepared to do any more accommodating for Mark Zuckerberg.”
Love the image of Big Bird and his muppet posse being like “Nah, Mark.”

I can wait to put it in the fireplace and get the flame going behind it. Just the perfect ambience for reading the news.

Is there a simple way to make a list that just excludes certain accounts you follow? Some accounts I follow mostly post about The Daily Horrors and I’d like to banish that stuff to its own tab by default.

PrusaSlicer 2.9.1 alpha is here, and sequential printing just got way more exciting with our new collision detection & arrangement.
We’ve also added multi-material interlocking—shoutout to the devs of Ultimaker Cura & OrcaSlicer. Try it out! ⤵️

Too many physical products market themselves as having AI in them. AI is not a well defined term but my sense is that the general public sentiment is negative towards “AI” so it’s strange to use it for marketing. It’s also like saying, “this widget has ✨inefficient black-box-algorithms✨ included!”

The genie is out of the bottle but I think I generally agree with this. The damage LLMs have caused and continue to inflict to the information space outweighs their value in net. It’s difficult to find quality information about any niche topic amidst the query-bespoke sea of AI chum.

I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel for the first time and now I really want to recreate the pastries. The packaging is also a required part of the experience.

I’m mildly shocked that a giant international company like Coca-Cola would think it’s okay to release this. Only mildly shocked because Pepsi had the guts to release the even more tone deaf “Jump In” ad in 2017.

Good news: while the default configuration is still terrible and there are definitely some rough edges, FreeCAD 1.0 is actually usable. Some stuff like adding a text emboss to a body is enormously clunky but the basics at least actually work now.
