its the most compelling one ive heard so far

You mean if you ignore all the hieroglyphs that explain everything in great detail?

The red Pyramid, maybe. But the Great Pyramid is gigantic with a relatively tiny tomb (compared to rest of pyramid) that contained a burial chamber that was blocked off with one way giant blocks that sealed off the chamber permanently.

    That's the joy of open source though: you can stop it.

    Not really. Unless you are prepared to devote your life to changing the source code to what you want, you have to accept it. And because you forked you are no longer downstream and will have to spend the rest of your life keeping up with patches.

    It's not much different than Windows. You could write a OneDrive uninstaller but you will have to spend the rest of your life with patches every time MS updates and breaks your uninstaller.

    If your favorite thing is being ruined and you can't stop it, I can understand frustration being displayed as anger.

    It's the same when Windows users get angry at things like OneDrive. It's forced on them and they don't want to have to work around removing it like people having to work around how Gnome is integrated into systemd.

    Ok, I'll capitalize the first letter and add an exclamation point to the end. Happy?

    I bet brute force hash checkers assume the first letter is capitalized because of current password policies.

    There are many legitimate complaints. Bundling a bunch of services into a single binary goes completely against Unix philosophy. Systemd changing from text to binary logs is my pet peeve.

    Copying how Windows does things isn't necessarily the best.

    If it wasn't ads then what exactly was it? If free with ads was working, it would still be free.

    You claim you can leverage that to other sales but it didn't happen.

    NYT is publicly traded. You can see their revenue, costs and everything. They made 2.5B in 1995 and 2.8B in 2025. Factoring inflation they have lost half their revenue. That means half the reporters lost their jobs.

    Forcing people to pay like they used to pay for paper is working:

    You have conflated "free to the public" and working for free into the argument.

    Yes it should be free to the public. But that requires a taxpayer funded journalism.

    The workers who are already underpaid should not be required to work for free because their work is important. That's incredibly regressive.

    I'm working on some models and have found that if I add an SVG modifier, Orca slices it beautifully. But I'd rather have the SVG's "baked" in the model so it's easier for others to download and freely share the STLs and print without a 3mf.

    The problem is that if I put SVG image in Fusion and then export the model, when Orca renders the G-code, the quality is poor to bad. The same SVG added in Orca looks great.

    STL with decal built into the STL geometry in Orca:

    STL in Orca after "Preview" so you can see the layer lines:

    The same file but applying the SVG as a modifier instead of it being part of the imported STL.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get an STL to have the same quality as using a modifier? Or maybe a way to go backwards from gcode to STL so that I can share the higher quality version that Orca creates?

     

    I've been pricing out components for my first new build in 20 years. (I've bought many ebay servers and a few mini PCs in between).

    The parts are around $2k. But then I look at the amd ai max+ 395 PCs that are out or coming out shortly and I think I might be buying an already obsolete platform. For the same price I'd get 16 cores and over 2x the memory bandwidth.

    "Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

    Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

     

    I'm new to Minecraft and did a lot of googling but everyone has a different answer for silk touch.

    Does anyone have a definite way to get it with an enchantment table?

    Some say you need to be level 17 and have 9 bookshelves before it will show up (random). Others say you need to be between level 20 and 30. One says 30. Another says you can just keep trying over and over using a grindstone to remove the wrong enchantment before trying again.
