Like others mentioned, it doesn't seem far off stock. The things I can pick out that are mods are:

  • bl touch (or something like it). This is an automatic bed leveling tool. So instead of spinning the little cogs under the bed all the time to get the bed level, it will probe the bed before printing to build a map of the bed position, and print accordingly.
  • general parts upgrade. This is a simple upgrade kit that's just an increase in quality. Better springs, stuff like that
  • mainboard upgrade. Might just be upgraded to a silent board. Might be upgraded to something more.. hard to tell.

I don't see much else that stands out as being particularly modded. Hope that helps.

Ah, that's a good workaround.

Does that work pre-os boot? I had to boot my Linux Mac into safe mode, and the way to do that is to press the escape key during boot. I had to plug in an external keyboard to do it.

You are so confident that you know what people are thinking. I didn't feign confusion, you are just a terrible communicator and incredibly hard to follow.

I tried to be patient and have a clear honest conversation with you, but you are clearly not capable of having honest conversation. You are an incredibly dishonest, arrogant, and irrational person, and I don't see any way to have productive conversation with you. So I'll be blocking you now. I hope you figure out how to stop being a dickhead.

I voted for the genocide supporter you wanted me to instead of the genocide supporter you are ok with because it gives you an excuse to blame the left.

What does this even mean? I wanted you to vote for Harris. Did you vote for Harris? You also say something about my "buddies on the right", so do you think I wanted you to vote for Trump, and therefore you voted for Trump? I wish you'd speak more directly instead of throwing in all these ambiguous assumptions.

Assuming you voted for Harris, it sounds like we are actually on mostly the same page. I voted for Harris. You voted for Harris (I think? I wish you would just give straight answers). Everyone should have voted for Harris. But Harris wasn't good, we deserve better, and I want to see better.

I also would have preferred that Harris had changed for the better. Why do you assume that isn't what I wanted? Who are my "buddies on the right"? I don't have any right-wing friends that I'm aware of.

It's a shame that you have to go making an ass out of yourself by jumping to all sorts of unfounded assumptions about who I am or what I think. If you would just engage honestly this would be a lot easier.

You seem all upset and lashing out at anyone who bothers to engage with you. Take a step back and go touch some grass or something.

I acknowledged that we could and should have better candidates. That doesn't impact the fact that you have those 4 options when it comes to voting.

Regardless of what anyone does to push for better candidates, these are the options at that moment:

  • Vote for Harris

  • Vote for trump

  • Vote for someone with no chance of winning

  • Don't vote.

Which of those options are you choosing? Or are you going to avoid the question again?

How does that even apply?

I'm a voter. Presidential election is happening. Both options suck, but one is extra awful.

So the correct action is to run for president myself? And somehow build up grassroots support for myself over a series of 3 months sufficient to win? Too late.

We need someone to do that, yea, but that's no longer the action being taken in regards to the 2024 election. You still have to: vote Harris, vote Trump, vote for someone with no chance of winning, or not vote.

So while you "grab a hose" which of those 4 actual actions are you taking?

[–] watty@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Then what do you mean? No firefighters were running, therefore what? What would be the correct action for a person to take when voting in the 2024 presidential election?

You're making a lot of assumptions here. I don't even know what you think you are arguing against.

You seemed to be arguing for not voting or voting third party rather than voting for Harris with the whole "firefighters" analogy.

I was pointing out that by many not voting, or by voting third party, we've ended up with someone who is not only not a firefighter, to continue you analogy, but someone who is actively setting the fires.

Now I hate democracy and progressives and Palestinians apparently? You've broken the thread here.

So we allowed the arsonist to get the position when we could have had someone who was at worst ineffective.

This is depicting empty metal shelving. What looks like rails for a train is the lip of a shelf. What looks like the near-side of the tracks is the floor, and what looks like the far side of the tracks is the top of the shelving. That little balcony seems to be some place for displaying featured products of some sort.

Definitely hard to break the image of a train platform though.

I have a couple touch bar macs, and the touch bar is fine.

However, I installed Ubuntu on one of my touch bar macs. The keyboard has no physical escape key; that would be on the touch bar. So, my Ubuntu touch bar Mac now has no escape key, which is a bit problematic, so having a fix for that would be cool.

It is not a big deal for me, since I'm just using it as a server, but it could be a deal breaker for using a touch bar Mac with Linux as a PC.

I don't think I could see that sign and not tear it down

 

Tl;Dr FB sucks, looking for Android client to view friends/pages/groups posts only.

I don't like Facebook, but my main hobby community exists almost exclusively there.

I try to limit my usage to just within the bounds of my hobby, but it is difficult with all of the garbage FB tries to push in my face every time I look at it.

I would love to have a different client for FB that just gives me content on people I'm friends with. No reels, no suggestions, no ads, just friends/pages/groups.

I've seen that there are alternative FB clients for Android, but it's never clear if they offer something like what I want.

Before I spend time evaluating various clients, does anyone already know of one that does what I want?
