That’s indeed a bad development I wasn’t aware of. Even more so if they base their own software on others, and then block others from their platform.

I’ve got a Bambu A1 mini that I’m quite happy with. Bambu studio works perfectly fine on Linux, and I can import lots of different kinds of designs from anywhere, but I think you do really need Bambu Studio to prepare the print for this specific printer. I have no idea if there’s any way around that, but is that necessary?

The a1 mini is very good at small details. The main downside is of course that it’s not very big, so not suitable for large prints. It calibrates automatically and is very low maintenance.

Ah, it’s just a fancy ad. That explains the poor writing.

VS is itself short for Visual Studio, the first IDE I ever used, and the first MS product I liked. So VS Code Studio means Visual Studio Code Studio.

Why Visual? Because 25 years ago MS was pushing Visual C++, where you would drag and drop visual components together and then figure out where to put the C++ code to make them work.

Yeah, real shame Maemo never got anywhere. I really liked the idea.

All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they’re not as bad as some of the others.

Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they’ve also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I’m sure there’s also something they do right.

I like the idea, but I’m annoyed by the inconsistency.

The þ is the th sound in “both”, but not the th sound in “the”; that’s a ð.

Ðough, ðat, ðere

Þorough, boþ, þree

Dude, if you’re going to do this, you should really be spelling ‘that’ like ðat.

Why?

This is exactly it. It has always been up to the browser to decide how to render a website. There have always been differences. The idea that a browser can honour or ignore parts of the content has always been part of it.

If anything should be illegal, it should be websites 's constant attempts to bypass user preferences. Some of that shit is plain malware.
