I also can make up statistics.

The concept of f droid is great. The UI and UX absolutely suck.

However it is functional, it is free and isn't run by a limitlessly budgeted mega corp.

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what's the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

I watched it with my kids and felt uncomfortable. This sort of video is not the same as elephants toothpaste.

I don't suffer through rober videos so my kids can now worry people want to drop bombs on them at a stadium.

Thanks mark.

Steam is a prime example of this. Not privately run it would have been bloated to extinction years ago.

Shareholders are leechers to quality. Dividends are not enough, the underlying asset must grow no matter what.

When Gabe croaks it Steam is fucked. It will go public.

There has already been a big shift and a brain drain from the Tory party. Literally no one is competent enough for the Foreign Sec job so Dave has to come back.

The purges of Boris et al are adding up to a psychotic shift to the right and pure populism. Your David Gaukes, Rory Stewart's etc. all forced out. Teresa May is a least not a psycho, but that doesn't mean you have to agree with her. You can understand why she acts the way she does.

Nigel is going to make sure the shift to the right is permanent. They will be the Fox News GB edition party.

With the Tories, gone is the time you could say "you know what I completely disagree with what you are saying but I completely understand why you are saying it.".

I think Guy Fawkes had a lot of good ideas.

The older and shittier the ISP the more blocks of IPV4 addresses they have. They have blocks from when they were given out willy nilly.

New ISPs, the ones that compete and bring the prices down have to buy addresses and that costs money and is a cost bigger and older ISPs do not have.

This is a case for regulation - either mandating a move to V6 or mandating the release of stockpiled v4 addresses. ISPs will not do that on their own, the addresses can currently be sold for lots of money.

I use Sync and don't pay anything. It's brilliant and the ads are basically invisible and rare.

Literally was the best Reddit app and it is a fantastic port to Lemmy.

You can choose to pay the dev if you want to. I haven't yet, but likely will if I spend more time here.

That's what they want. Consume ads, pay or stop using bandwidth.

I am unsure how much they care about views when so many have adblockers. It will be a useful metric when the huge majority can not block ads.

Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!

The other way to look at it is that

  1. I upgraded my prusa for years to every new model released for much less than the cost of a new printer. They provided upgrade kits for sale.

  2. I made my own enclosure, works great. Downloaded the parts and followed a guide. Prusa one looks nice though.

  3. My PSU had some potential issues 6 years after I bought it and they still sent me a replacement free of charge.

  4. The prusa slicer software has filament profiles built in that work perfectly on the printer with no testing. They are adding them constantly. There's something nice about not having to do test etc.

Could you consider a prusa mk 4? It's set and forget, not as fast as Bambu but no slouch. Support is excellent, open source and parts readily available.
