  • I’m apparently a mod as well. I was one of the first. Not that I’ve exercised my power any. But if I saw something that clearly needed deleted or had a flag to respond to, I’d do my best to address whatever issue had come up.

    Also, I don’t know precisely how I became a mod. I assumed VerbFlow just added me one day. (Edit: The modlog makes it seem that way.)

    I can try removing you if I can figure out how. Heh… Though I doubt that’ll prevent you from just being re-added.

    Sounds like you’re talking to the LW admins, which is probably a good idea.

    I was about to say that maybe VerbFlow had a bot that was adding people as mods, but you’d think if a buggy bot readding you as mod was the issue, the bot readding you would show up as activity in the mod log. So, 🤷.

    Edit: Ok. I figured out how to remove you as a mod. On Lemmy-UI, it’s the “more” link on the post. The bottom option for me was “remove as mod.” We’ll see how long that lasts.

    Edit2: Also, @[email protected], could you link me to the modlog view you’ve got in the screenshot? In case more folks have this issue, I’d like to see if I can get a better understanding of what’s going haywire so hopefully I as a mod can fix it without bugging the admins (if possible.) In looking at the modlog myself, so far I haven’t found the instances of you trying to remove yourself as a mod that you have in the screenshot.





  • And why not chew it off?

    Last time I had sushi (about a week ago), I tried a place I’d never tried before. I ordered some sashimi and they were huge. If I’d eaten those in one bite each, it would have been like that game “chubby bunny”. But then again I don’t really know how authentic this particular sushi place was. Tasted great, though.





  • I need to watch more fan films. There are some great Star Trek ones. (“Star Trek Continues” and “Star Trek: Renegades”, though Renegades is written/directed by Tim Russ who also stars in it. And there are other known Star Trek actors in Renegades. It’s not canon, but maybe it doesn’t quite qualify as “fan” material.) I watched “The Hunt For Gollum” the other day as well.

    There ought to be a Lemmy community for fan films! (Says a guy carefully not volunteering to moderate it. Lol. Maybe I should go ahead and make one and that’ll give me the motivation to go ahead and start watching more fan films.)





  • Doesn’t that require a much higher temperature than most beds would be able to safely achieve.

    I had to take the screen off of a Pixel not terribly long ago to replace the battery. I used a heat gun and I remember it requiring a temperature of like… 240C° or some such? And when I’m printing PLA, my printer bed only gets to 60C°. (Not saying it couldn’t go higher, but 240C° seems way higher than 60C°.)



  • So, I’m not a member of PieFed, but…

    First, I’ll say I’m not really a fan of the idea. I’d expect a lof of those threads to just devolve into trolls and asshats using it as their personal soap box even though 90% of users approve of the action that was taken.

    Also, what problem are you trying to solve with this suggestion?

    But, also, and I’m not saying I’d be a fan of this, you could theoretically do that without asking. You could make a community and set up a bot to make a thread in that community for every mod action on the instance. (Or maybe that’s what you’re considering and you’re just trying to test the waters first.)


  • A small triangle of tape, or just tape adhesive?

    I’d definitely be more inclined to think tape could be more of a concern than jist the adhesive. Probably if it were me, I’d just try to be more thorough about removing all the tape from the spool (and not worry about small amounts of residual adhesive.)

    Also, a description and/or picture of the filament and tape you’re talking about could help.


  • Would it really cause problems if it did? I’m thinking if it got into the hotend (especially at the small amounts we’re talking about), it would probably just melt into the molten filament and not really cause any issues.

    There are “filament filters” that are for keeping foreign materials from getting into the hotend, but they’re more for particulate things that won’t melt and might clog the nozzle. Tape residue (again, at such small quanties) surely would just flow through with the molten filament and be unnoticeable in the final prints.


  • I model exclusively with OpenSCAD and a shit ton of math. (Full disclosure, for some of the most absolutely complex things I’ve done, I’ve written Go code to generate OpenSCAD code. But it’s not often that I need that.) And I make some pretty complex things. I’m currently working off-and-on on a 3d-printable mechanical keyboard, for instance.

    OpenSCAD, in case you don’t know, is a straight up programming language for doing CAD. It doesn’t even provide you the option to adjust anything with the mouse.

    It’s hardcore, but it does the job.
