This is depressing as hell.

Most people have no idea how much sci-hub has advanced medical and basic scientific discovery.

We need things like the archive more than ever now too as the the disease of thinking truth is a maleable substrate continues to spread.

Yeah sure does but it threatens a lot more than just these communities. This will affect almost everyone and is a clear power grab to gain even more goverental control of online activity across the board. Children are often used as pawns for these types of bills. This is similar to the sesta/fosta nonsense.

I see an irony in the fact that I can't read this damn article without paying for yet another media / news subscription service. Stop linking to pay walls Lemmites!

Recently did a test print with Creality Pla-wood. The smell during the print is amazing, I'm kind of hooked. I printed something flat, was easy to sand and stain looks incredible, 100% looks like wood. It's been 48h and no matter how much I wipe the thing it's still tacky / leaves a little residue on my hands. Do I just need to wait longer? Is this normal? Is it OK to clearcoat before absolutely bone dry / residue free?

What about sanding more complex structures? Do I need to get a sand blaster for this? Is there a dremel brush I could use?

I feel like this might/should exist, but I can't find it. Is there a program that allows for replacement screw cap generation by simply entering a diameter, depth, thread gap, and thread pitch? Would be really nice to have something like that. I the meantime, maybe I'll consider printing tpu corks/ stoppers with mid diameter equal to vessel opening diameter.

Oh man, he's going to be so disspaointed when he gets home and it's all just rocks. It's like the time I bottled a piece of a cloud in Costa Rica and opened it up to just find a slightly damp bottle.

It's incredible how many people waste time walking in many situations where you could just fall.

Listen honey, I frequently check the reddit dontputyourdickinthat sub, and if something ain't listed there, you better believe I'm putting my dick in it. BTW I'm posting you there.

No but there are 33 communities devoted to Linux. Does that help?

Pretty sure it's going to just be like 12 of us. If the third party app thing on reddit didn't drive users here, unfortunately I don't think anything else will. At this point if you are already content with the reddit app it's going to be a hard sell to say, yeah come check out Lemmy, it's like reddit but if you have a question about your sick betta fish instead of getting a helpful answer in a few minutes, you need to first create a betta fish community, then go back on reddit and recruit users to your Lemmy community. Post content on it daily to maintain interest, and then, if you are really lucky, ask your question and wait a few months and maybe if your fish is still alive (doubtful), you might get a response, but it will probably be just be an anticapitalist shit-post. I'm sorry to say it is this way, but this be the way that it is.

Wtf is an uncorrupt government?

It's scary how tech illiterate most teens / young adults are. Despite the fact that they live their lives through digital interfaces, the majority do not know how to use a keyboard properly.

I wrongly had assumed that by being surrounded by so much tech, young people would just soak it in and strive to optimize it's use through early mastery. It turns out that despite everyone using tech all the time now, it's still the same thin slice of the pie that scratch the tech any deeper than the top surface.

Show me an article promising substantially better battery tech in less than 5years and I will show you a steaming hot pile of crap.

Any idea how hard it is to wash a baby that's not even out yet? God bless these people. Have some patience.
