I was using the flatpak on Linux.

This is not true. There are squirrels who relentlessly mock me and I have done nothing to deserve it.

All else being equal, having a 3d printer I can fold up and put away sounds pretty nice to me. I use mine once or twice a month and I could use that space for other things. Of course, all else is unlikely to be equal.

I loved opera back then.

I wonder if floorp has improved, because people are talking it up lately. My experience a few months ago was like yours, it was very buggy.

Catgirls, jackalgirls, all embarrassing. Go full-on furry.

That's awesome. Human expression is unpredictable and dangerous and the faster we move past it the better.

What a bizarre comment. People don't need to have what opinions are explained, do they?

Sonic is faster. The Flash isn't real.

Not to downplay any of the myriad problems here in the USA, but I think many of us are trying to believe that a better world is possible and this sometimes leads to unrealistic views of how much better things are abroad. Sometimes.

But I am hopeful that this country is increasingly humiliated for at least a couple of decades.

 

I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

We welcome back our friend, author Douglas Rushkoff, to discuss what’s real and what’s fake about the AI publicity push, the next phase of the internet, and human connection in the oppressive techno-future.

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.
