You can test it on a Braai, hot coals are ~600C so you just need to have it above the flames for 10min.

Phase changing water

I’d also think moving your PC will rip your CPU right off the motherboard

Just need to phrase it as “China is stealing our open-source software and profiting from it” and they might be onboard with blocking them.

Wouldn’t even be lying.

It’s a real shit-show out there with those requirements unfortunately. Trust me, been down the rabbit hole.

Prusa are the best when it comes to Open-Source, but they ain’t cheap.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do

It’s a minefield out there!!

I keep doing research into what to buy to get into the hobby, only to after a while give up because it’s all fucked. 95% of reviewers seem fully in the pocket of the companies they are reviewing, it just looks like watching a advertisement.

Apparently many manufacturers do this, Creality, Soval etc.

It would be great if the EU and US blocked the sale of products that violate Open-Source liscences.

Should solve the problem fairly quickly

Prusa’s are damn nice and as Open-Source as can be.

I just wish they weren’t 3/4x the price

I don’t want to be the guy to tell my boss I’ve bricked the F-35

a big part of UX is having good defaults.

Lemmy’s defaults don’t work for most people, every time I try to promote it on reddit I’m met with doezens of people complaining about how shit and confusing the UI is.

You’re describing Dark-UI

Dark-UI isn’t Bad-UX

Good UX = Easier to use, Easier to navigate, etc. Good UX makes people use your platform more because there is less friction.

Yes there’s been enshitification, but not everything has gotten worse. UI’s are much better than the past.

Why is infinite scrolling a bad UX? It saves the user from clicking next-page

You could argue that it’s dark-ux, but it’s not bad-ux

Review of the two experiences:

With PieFed I can just keep scrolling without needing to click. Things just work and are where I expect them to be (based on pas UX experiences (reddit)) I can see way more content without ever getting confused or needing to click or make decisions, making me stay curious and engaged. Where as with Lemmy I very quickly got frustrated and confused, making me want to abandon ship and do something else, and I’m way way way more resilient than the vast majority of users

– open https://piefed.social/ – met with some interesting image from c/selfhosted
–keep scrolling – some news articles, not really my vibe

– keep scrolling – cut cat picture from c/cat – keep scrolling

– some meme about cars and fuck Trump, cool – keep scrolling – more memes and cats, keep scrolling – this keeps happening, doezens of more memes and cats – repeat

– bunch of posts I don’t have to click to open, I can see the image clearly and what’s happening
– interesting but I can just keep scrolling – bottom of the pace, have to click next

– more semi interseting things
– keep scrolling, click next again

– eventually find something interesting enough to interact with and leave a comment, of move on.

– open https://lemmy.ml/
– met with a list of posts, most images too small for me to see or read.
– click on first post so that I can see the image - https://lemmy.ml/post/42503928 – taken to a page where I still can’t see the image I clicked to see – Click on the image, now I can see it.

– See some comments
– now I need to click back to continue

– see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566
– Still can’t see image so I click on the image – now I’m taken to https://mecha.so/comet#overview
– WTF, why am I on a different site? Why am I here,where are the comments – Realisze I can’t distinguish between Image posts and Links to a different site. – Why is this so confusing to browse?

Good UX is all about removing friction and making users have to click less and think less.

Users these days are expect their hands to be held and things to just work, that sadly is just the reality.

Let me start off with saying, I started on Lemmy and even donated to Lemmy, PieFed can only grow because it’s standing on the shoulders of giants (lemmy)

My alt is AnonomousWolf, you can look it up, since I joined I complained about bat UX, but people told me to GTFO. PieFed fixes many of those issues I complained about.

Let me do a quick test and walk you through my thought possesses and UX. I’ll make 2 comments in this post, one for lemmy.ml one for piefed.social

Any actions you need to take that could have been avoided = bad UX.

Any time you need to think and not immediately know what to do next = bad UX.

Sadly we’re in a time where users expect their hand to be held the whole time and where they expect zero effort to be put in and everything to just work.

For me the biggest issue with default Lemmy is, why do I have to click on a image post to view the image, when it could just have defaulted to a bigger size?

Most users that have joines in the last week has been because I recommend a specific.
