Below the frame looks like to me.

All right I tried out the live app, to connect my phone to my desktop. Couldn’t get it to work. Tried the link method both ways, once normal and once animals. Tried the QR code too. All it does is bring me to a “contacts” page, which is essentially the same screen, or to a “new peer” one. Tried looking at the docs but didn’t see what I might be doing wrong there. Do certain plug ins mess it up like ublock origin? Anything else?

It’s an interesting idea. If it can make it easier to share files with friends then I’d be in. Voice and video have always been challenging as I understand it, so I’m expecting that to come later. Very ambitious, but cool if you can pull it off!

That was amazing. Wow. I mean, I knew that google was bad but, damn.

I was surprised to learn recently that people are still making new screen savers for it.

…library… Alexandria…

But yeah, that is the central hub that everything goes thru

Does vpn help with this?

I’m using Vivaldi (Android), and it looks like I’m not getting the mobile site, but the desktop one. I can access all the content, but the pictures are way too big, and the white cloud in the background makes it impossible to read the text over it because it is white too. If I set Vivaldi to “desktop site” mode, I get the same thing, only without the text word-wrapped. I just want to know if this is malicious or just incompetent.

Note 10+ here and same, as soon as I can afford one of those linux phones, or at least a second-hand pixel.

I only found out about it just less than a year ago. :(

This feels a bit like the debate over whether a virus is “alive” or not. “But the virus/HTML has DNA/code.” “But it requires another cell/web browser in order to replicate/execute.” etc. 😄

“A couple of trees…”

And a body of water, and a road, possibly some mountains… (smh)

Looks great, and I’m all for it.

On a mostly unrelated note, reading the name made me think of a line from the movie Young Frankenstein: “Sedagive!?!”

Or Tubular

Try asking it. 😆

Straight up 1984 Newspeak, where the Ministry of Truth is really concerned with lies, the Ministry of Peace is concerned with war, the Ministry of Love is concerned with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty is concerned with starvation.

The only thing I know about them is how well advertised they are, which is a turn off.

So you’re saying it would rely on each person to stay objective and use good critical thinking, instead of accepting the first thing they read and fall down an echo-chamber rabbit hole? Wikipedia definitely doesn’t always get it right, but it does try to use a form of institutionalized objectivity.

Ok, so first thing out of the way- that model you linked is not made for 3D printing. To get a decent result you’re gonna have to edit it a bit.

Yeah? That sounds like it’s definitely getting beyond what I can do.

The big issue is the glowing part.

I should have clarified, I’d probably be happy enough with just painting it some kind of mottled blue and white. This doesn’t have to look too accurate.

Do you want to make a lightsaber, or specifically this lightsaber? If you aren’t particularly attached to this one I’d suggest looking for another model. Printables, Thingiverse, and Thangs have 3D models specifically designed for printing.

Yeah, there’s reasons for this one, but it’s less important that I even make it. Just a thought occurred to me while I was waking up since it was already a 3d model… what if I could print it? Preliminary research suggested I could, then I thought I should consult people who do this sort of thing. So this is all feasibility study, and you’ve provided much useful information in that regard. Thanks!

Thanks. Real lights would be cool, but more effort that I’d want to do right now. I think I’d be happy enough with painting those parts some sort of mottled blue and white, if I could even pull that off. lol
