& I really don't understand anyone who claims this is following the original vision. The concept and official art is SO different from this new style.

Really sit back and think about the utter scale of a machine that has brought us to this point, where a software tools company is putting out videos that attempt to help people recover skills lost by using the AI shit that's *in their product*.

I just have Lily now, but my sister's cat Louise also used to live here. She's a standard issue as well (with socks)

What kind of critter is this?

A black, brown, and orange mackerel tabby cat lying on a gray rug. Her arms are stretched under her chin, while both of her legs are sticking out to one side, making her look like a seal.

The software I'm working on runs on a RaspberryPi and serves a webapp. But, it's experimental and things can break so I built a little "rescue" web-app that lets you view status, logs, and restart the service or reboot the machine. 😎 <100 lines of python, love it.

The most beautiful weed in my front lawn

It's a picture of a yellow flower. I don't know what kind of plant this is. Maybe a kind plant nerd will tell me in the replies. Maybe not. Life is unfair, but at least this one little yellow flower is pretty.

Between depression, heartache, and the state of the world, it's hard for me to be "visible" today. It means a lot to see so many others speak out and be visible. So, I'm still here, still visible.

An incredibly useful feature with an absolutely unhinged list of objects.

Same person had the gall to accuse me of vomiting up paragraphs of word salad. My brother in christ, did you read the original OCL? That, my friend, is a fantastical word salad!

Nah, you just vomited out paragraph after paragraph of word salad to say someone's license is too wordy. You clearly don't believe in any style manual at all.

A brief laugh at /r/prusa3d's reactions to my SOCL license. Starting with the one that made me giggle the most. I love being admonished for being too big for my britches! Fun fact: I went to the same law school as Prusa and his lawyers.

"This is an honest question. Who are you that you think you know more than Prusa's team of lawyers? And why didn't you just reach out to them?

And Prusa did explicitly say that this is version 1, with the implication that changes were likely to come."

Stargirl @thea.codes · 20/12/2025

Not to horsebeat, but it's also really gross that Prusa takes time to pat himself on the back about their Slic3r-derived PrusaSlicer and Marlin-derived firmware being open source (when they have to be) while simultaneously insulting those projects by saying they could rewrite them.
