@hellomiakoda @iwein meh. Letters come out poorly unless large or using a resin printer. That being said, good excuse to buy a resin printer ;)

@hellomiakoda @iwein I agree with all of this, but I'm not convinced that digital is a good solution for the dead to convey information to historians.

even if it's an easy to work with plain text format like markdown the server that holds it will likely be gone.

maybe if there were an international network of people replicating the stuff, but even then… we're still processing journals from the civil war.

the likelyhood of that network, or servers, or whatever lasting 160 years…

@ryanc i meant more the custom lasering keycaps part.

I used to be a graphic designer so I’m familiar with the vector graphic part of the equation.

I just don’t know what template needs to be sent to who and what the options are.

@ryanc
a) awesome

b) Can you possibly point me to posts on how I might learn to do something like that?

Dear #3DPrinting people who are familiar with #CAD

Upload your "stupid" models.

There is nothing special about this "dumb" tray. It's just a five sided box with filleted edges, but it's been downloaded 79 times on Printables.

Lots of folks have 3D printers but don't know how to model things in CAD.

79 folks either got something useful they didn't know how to make themselves, or had time saved by not having to model it themselves.

Your "stupid" models are worth uploading.

@thomasfuchs other than taking over people’s projects (complete bullshit) have they done something else now too?

Wondering if i missed some new BS.

@dalias @catsalad why did they lock about:config? And why do that bs with chrome:// ?

Like seriously. What am i missing here? Why bother having a dev do this work?

(apparently this is the morning for food rabbit holes)

Check out this awesome bit of #science work Louis Pasteur did while figuring out Pasteurization.

@whitequark a) cool b) what does headmate mean? Is it DID related?

🤔 Either way, it just occurred to me that people with DID have next-level budgeting problems.

@whitequark

Is there a better term or way too reference it that i should use by default ? DID is the only term I know except for the older, more loaded ones

Re bank accounts: makes sense, but also ugh. It’s hard enough to earn money for one people.

@whitequark so, if I was speaking to someone like you in the future and said “is this a mental plurality related thing?” (Like asking about headmate) Would that make sense to them?

Also, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions .

@whitequark 🤔 huh. “Plurality” sounded so ambiguous to me. Like “A plurality of what?”

A promise to all of you. When I finally release my book I will:

1. have an author's website
2. allow you to 🤬 buy the ePub from me (or the publisher if i get so lucky)
3. Make it available on sites other than 🤬 amazon, including, but not limited to Kobo & B&N

#writing #author

I want 2 major changes in the eBook world:

1. I want someone to sell a device with hardware & software as good as the Kobo Libra Colour that isn't coupled to a single bookstore
2. I want it to be come normal for authors - ESPECIALLY self published authors - to sell their their books directly instead of just handing them over to Amazon.

Amazon will NEVER stop fucking authors over, & they'll never improve the 💩 software on the Kindle devices if we don't give them a reason to.

Our neighbors have acquired goats. 🐐

The dogs are loosing their little 🧠s.

They got used to the chickens. 🐔 They _mostly_ got used to the neighbor dogs, 🐕 as long as they don't look like they're heading towards us.

🤞 they'll get used to the goats soon & start ignoring them too.

@Gargron @mcc Yeah, people just bounce right off the "I have to pick a server?!" onboarding step.

Mastodon could have anticipated everyone's desires perfectly and It still wouldn't "win" because of that.

I don't know why that's so 🤯 for folks when it's the exact same thing as getting an email account BUT it IS and I think ALL decentralized systems are going to loose out to centralized ones until someone comes up with a solution.

@hellomiakoda Price varies wildly depending on country & insurance. There's a Dr. in Thailand who does great work for < $3k.

In the US, it's anyone's guess. Pretty sure it goes > $150k for some doctors.

Mine was ~3 months ago & I still don't know how much it's going to cost me after insurance. 🤷♀️ Our system is effed.

@hellomiakoda @masukomi@dice.camp Alas, I do not currently have access to that level of technology.

🤔 could have just printed myself new bits if I had that.

@hellomiakoda

Eesh. sorry you got that. Glad you caught it before they did something nasty.
