Again, if you’re too stupid to make sure the multiton hunk of metal is coming to a stop by all the other obvious visual markers, including watching it’s speed compared to stationary objects like signs and lamp posts, then this won’t do shit. People need more aweness of their surroundings, not a bunch of lights and horns because people won’t pay attention.

You enter the road when it’s safe, not jump in and play frogger with lights hoping to get across.

If a car is braking it rides differently from one that isn’t. A car is normally rather level and leans “forward” when braking.

Besides that, YOU SHOULDNT GET IN FRONT OF ANYTHING YOU ARENT SURE IS STOPPING. If it’s moving fast enough that you need this, you shouldn’t be trying to get in front anyways.

Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.

Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.

You realize a bunch of instances have blocked/defederated Lemmy.world, right? Exactly the kind of fragmentation I’d like to avoid. Literally other people chose who I can and can’t talk to already.

This is a hard pass.

Exactly this. I don’t want to have to dig through 100 communities all spread out to find things. Not everyone needs “my own” whatever. You can be centralized and public. Federation is just another buzzword like blockchain.

Agreed. About the only thing I would search Lemmy for is obnoxious Linux snobbery. That, they have on lock.

You need to remember first of all what sites like reddit, digg, and now Lemmy actually are. They are link aggregators. The content is anything and every thing. Just link to it. It’s that simple. And if you feel it is in a place that might get removed, screenshot it, archive.org it, copy into an online Google Doc, and post that. There’s no reason we need 500 identical “How do I do X?” posts just to fill content. Do you want 500 posts clogging your feed about how to fix the same printer issue over and over?

Or on a Bambu, just do a longer “poop” purge and spit it out the side like they already do. A tower isn’t even necessary. It’s only needed on devices without a purge capability. I’ve printed plenty of multicolored prints without any tower whatsoever on mine. Literally should be suing anyone but Bambu for that one.

Someone seriously patented purge towers? Ffs, first hearing that 3D printers were shelved for decades because some douchy company camped on the main patent, and now shit like this? Patenting “printing a square tower to accommodate the waste created during filament swaps” is fucking ridiculous. I can’t stand patents anymore. Corporate extortion through and through.

Fuck Stratasys.
