...if you're using a Gmail address with the recurring donation to DAIR, Google sends the thank you mail with the link to manage/cancel your recurring donation to the spam folder. 🤬 I have a hard time believing that's not intentional malice from the company that […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Totally petty, but this is my response if this bs actually goes in man-pages and doesn't get reverted.

Anyone out there know anything about Clownflare Turnstile debugging? That 💩 has decided to infinite-loop or error on every site behind it now for me, with no indication of why. Compat check tool at browser-compat.turnstile.workers.dev shows

Security Check Failed

An unexpected error occurred with the security check.

I am super proud of this #3dprinting filament splice. 🎉 Spent way too long on doing 10+ of these, but I salvaged half a kilo of a material that's out of stock waiting on next production run that I thought was gone after a mishap with hot spots while drying it.

WTF was someone thinking when they chose the parts for this? 🤦 🤬

Got a new clip-on lens set that came with a better macro lens than I had before, and took this pic of a printed worm wheel gear that's been in operation for the past ~6 months. #3dprinting

A macro-lens photo of a directionally lit purple-colored plastic gear sitting on and parallel to a turquoise-colored surface. Centered on top of the gear is a metal thrust bearing with a metal shaft through the center, and another metal part is partly visible below the gear. The teeth of the gear are slightly concave.

I'll be putting more like this on Loops once it's ready, but for now I'll just put a clip or two here on Mastodon showing the M45 in operation. #3dprinting

The newer "Prime" version of the ST uses a telescoping shaft instead of a lifting one.

A drive shaft with U-joints at both ends and a coupling with bearings between outer and inner telescoping parts.

I mentioned recently a project I've had in the works for some time that I'd like to share. The published files aren't quite as polished or easy to pick up as I'd like them to end up, but this is a process and I'm happy to have others in on it for everything that […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

The head is held by three pairs of narrow black arms and has hoses and a large black shaft running up from it vertically to a motor on a platform held above the main frame on dark rods.

Ok, THIS is how you do UX for an e2ee messaging app when you want to make it clear who you are and aren't doing it for. 🔥 Props to @VeilidNetwork team.

Wow. Facebook is not just announcing that they're walking back moderation of hate speech, but gleefully giving explicit examples of particular forms of hate speech they now allow. 😲 🤬

Screenshot of Facebook policy announcement text:

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non- serious usage of words like “weird.”

We do allow content arguing for gender- based limitations of military, law enforcement, and teaching jobs. We also allow the same content based on sexual orientation, when the content is based on religious beliefs.
