Funny Playing's New FPGA GameBoy Color
  • Its kind of incredible how deep funnyplaying is into GB(A) replacement parts that its beginning to actually manufacture its own gameboys outright.

  • Bill Gates thinks of himself as 'very nice' compared to Elon Musk and Steve Jobs
  • The fact that this will not be remembered as part of Gate's legacy makes my blood boil.

  • What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?
  • Inland is good.

    Ive not actually had a truely bad roll of PLA but I also don't bargin hunt on Amazon.

  • Prinnay has such a way with colors.

  • Linus' reponse to the Gamer's Nexus Video
  • https://i.imgur.com/BFYsmdb.pngl

    It looks like they are paying it back which was my biggest concern, and billet is defining the price here. Although according to his earlier response, LMG has yet to repay it.

    That fuck up is still massive, downplaying it as a "charity auction" is shitty and makes this 120~ person company look like amateur hour.

    additional context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3byz3txpso

    I was mislead and because how linus worded it, thought this was at least arranged prior to the whole situation and that this was not a quote or invoiced. According to billet lab this was not the case and they had yet to set a price as of that second videos recording.

  • A small sock bin created in TPU
  • If you look closely it didn't, theres lots of little holes as it got higher. The way I avoided a total failure was through the pyramid pattern, since its more geometrically stable than just straight lines.

  • ChromeOS is splitting the browser from the OS, getting more Linux-y
  • Microsoft also implemented the Wayland specification and it did zilch for adoption or growth of wayland. Let me put it another way, Chromebooks also adopted upstart and that has not had an impact on upstart use or adoption in the broader linux ecosystem.

    Its more likely they're gonna use work done for desktop linux with minimal if any contribution backwards to things we care about.

  • There is now a FreeCAD community on Lemmy.ml
  • I just watched a tutorial video. Once I figured out how sketching works a lot of other tasks became easier to figure out and intuit.

    I do think knowledge is disorganized, said knowledge is out of date and a lot of included legacy workbenches are offered which adds to initial confusion and the errors aren't very helpful.

    I use the linktree branch though. Prior to learning freecad I also worked primarily in a codeCAD library in golang which probably helped with understanding basic operations.

  • There is now a FreeCAD community on Lemmy.ml
  • If you look at the community its empty.

    You could...just make a solid works community, there isn't even a reason to be jerk about freecad you're not obligated to use it.

  • whats so good about arch compared to linux mint?
  • I think my issue with Mint is the small team maintaining the cinnamon fork that clearly can't keep up with the desktop.

    Otherwise mint is functionally Ubuntu. I preferred Debian for my stable stuff. I like arch currently because PKGBUILD was acomparatively easy package format to learn and modify. Rolling is nice but I've used Debian extensively as well.

  • After 9 months, the New Orleans Police Department’s use of facial recognition has resulted in zero arrests and multiple false positives
  • Minor correction.
    15 out of 15 requests were of black people. 14 of those requests were black men and 1 was a black woman.

  • Creatlity sprite drive direct extruder - worth it??
  • As an extruder its fine, I will say cooling shrouds tend to be very bulky and the default cooling isn't very good.

  • How many people here have actually used XMPP?
  • I basically use it for talking to one person fairly consistently, but I like having it as a backup when discord is down because it lets me keep contact with some of my tabletop group and also a few friends on my mastodon server.

  • LPT: you can 3D print a PCB for fit & feel testing
  • Def a cool controller. I remember reading about it awhile ago.

    My project will use a conventional pcb, I just needed to test the spacing of the buttons and get a literal reference for how big it'll be since I knew it was gonna be a bit chunky.

    Attached: 1 image did you know? you can 3d print anything with that you can export as an .stl file. this is mostly for testing how thumbable the dpad and button cluster will be, also serves a guestimate for how big the eventual controller will be.

    For the record, the printed part is over here: https://jade.moe/@oct2pus/110663696296464736

    Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.
  • Fightsticks as in custom controllers for modern (or retro) systems that are often associated with the fighting game community but also used for schmups or other arcade associated titles (or even just games that use digital controls only). Its got a modestly active community on reddit for sharing builds and mods and just projects or discussing parts. I do all of this over discord as well so its nbd.

  • Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.
  • I guess im just gonna help less people with their 3d printers now. I mostly want to keep up with arcade sticks and the subreddit didn't really seem to move unfortunately. So I'll still need to check back in every blue moon.

  • Why is Kbin seemingly growing considerably slower than Lemmy?
  • Most people heard about Lemmy on reddit, and heard about kbin on lemmy, possibly after they already made an account.

    Im not going to not interact with Lemmy because of its developers but it was enough I decided id rather not be tied exclusively to their tankie ass politics.

  • It either has to be my current arch install or my Debian install before that. I might head back to Debian (sid) since it was close enough. I might swap over to Debian stable on my laptop over the current Ubuntu install though.

    Attached: 1 image It worked mostly, still wobbled and it's imperfect but it DID finish. If I were to do a version two, the tips need to be rounded (I got lazy), I would zig zag the walls and I would use a less flexible TPU (just using what I got lol).

    created a laptop stand for my dell xps13

    Attached: 2 images Not releasing this model publically but I made a stand for my XPS13 laptop because I hated all the designs currently out there. #3DPrinting #3DPrinted
