That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.Picture of Firefox nightly toolbar on printables.com demonstrating missing home button
But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”
Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”
Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

Watched this a while back and my take away way it might.
- Comment on Small reminder: Don't forget to sporadically renew your nozzle from time to time! 2 months ago:
The larger photo shows a lot of wear on the end compared to the new nozzle (the flat area on the top is larger). It’s hard to tell from the photos but in my experience this generally correlates to a widened nozzle diameter and decreased print quality.

- Comment on Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store 2 months ago:
Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.
Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?
So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.
It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…

- Comment on Inline filament drying prototype 4 months ago:
Maybe. I actually have a dehydrator I use with plenty of airflow.
But I think that only solves part of the problem because that makes it really good at drying the outside but it’s still going to have trouble past the first couple layers. I think the fact moisture would also have a hard time penetrating means current options work well enough.for most people.
Anecdotally I can support this, recently I had a particularly old roll of petg that I dried for a larger print and later in the print started getting all stringy and messy.

Yeah, I’m definitely interested to see some experiments. I was surprised it worked as well as it did but if it does it’d be super useful

Wonder if you could use some sort of buffer system to extend the time in the dryer
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Using my decades of experience in how programming and compilers works and the fact Mozilla has used it to great effect and how it is being used for parts of the Linux kernel… Yeah just a general statement it doesn’t make any sense.
Maybe they aren’t effective at designing software with the paradigms of the language or they don’t like it but the given explanation doesn’t track.

The web being too object oriented for rust? Assuming that made sense, who wrote the dang language? If that’s true I’m even less confident they know what they’re doing then I was before.
- Comment on I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what? 4 months ago:
Yeah similar but when I’ve tried a lot of the UI ends up looking wrong. Bad font or UI colors, etc.
Not hating on freecad, I like it and they’re working hard, just want to make clear it’s not fair to suggest a normal person could make it look the same.
Additional note. It’s a weird discussion. My understanding is development is flowing back and forth with the intention of ondsel being mostly a set of pro cloud plugins. Use what you like today because you can swap tomorrow.
- Comment on I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what? 4 months ago:
Some of the nightlies are actually ahead of ondsel in features actually. But while you can get close, the theme and UI changes don’t work very well in freecad. You might be able to write some plugins to do it but I haven’t seen them.

- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 4 months ago:
Should I point out the irony of this complaint being posted on a site with ads every other sentence and doesn’t even show what the windows ads looks like?
It’s a valid complaint and all I just laughed as I scrolled past all the blank “ad here” blocks to read the article.
- Comment on OrcaSlicer V2.1.0 Official Release 4 months ago:
Libwebkit isn’t actually chromium, it uses blink which is a fork of part of webkit. Understandable confusion though because webkit was part of kde, forked by safari, and then used by through chrome variants for a long time.
The rest of this comment is going to necessarily be nerdy Linux internals. sorry.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure chromium includes it inside it’s binary and does provide or use any webkit libraries.
Orca uses it internally for it’s browser so it won’t start unless it has access to the library. When you build a Linux app it includes the name of the library which includes the ABI (basically the version). Newer Linux release include a different version.
You can see how that specific library stops appearing in Ubuntu releases packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwebkit2gtk…
The new version is 6.0 I believe.
Appimage is one of the ways you get around this distro problem by including the versions of libraries. That’s why they’re so big. There are problems with that like how big the apps are stale bundled libraries with security issues but I digress.
Orca hasn’t bundled webkit in the appimage and because of another problem/feature of appimage it falls back on the os library. Since new distros have dropped the older obsolete library version orca can’t start.
That’s a lot but I hope it explains the problem better.
I would like to help but my personal computer doesn’t currently have enough memory to compile orca so back to just watching warning people it’s a coming problem for them too.
- Comment on OrcaSlicer V2.1.0 Official Release 4 months ago:
That’s good. I assume you’ve got the old libwebkit installed somehow. There are a dozen reports around this though so it’s a pretty real problem. github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues?q=libwebki…
- Comment on OrcaSlicer V2.1.0 Official Release 4 months ago:
Ubuntu but it also affects fedora github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/185
The image just isn’t being built correctly which is more a problem with appimages but the fact it’s still broken… Linux is clearly a neglected platform for them.
All the problems I listed have bug reports just nothings happening to fix them.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It’s more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.
A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.
- Comment on OrcaSlicer V2.1.0 Official Release 4 months ago:
Appimage doesn’t start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included…
Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.

- Comment on NetBSD bans all commits of AI-generated code 5 months ago:
Not specific to AI but someone flat out told me they didn’t even run the code to see it work. They didn’t understand why I would or expect that before accepting code. This was someone submitting code to a widely deployed open source project.
So, I would expect the answer is yes or very soon to be yes.
