> Model not sticking to the bed. Behaviour was inconsistent.

Crank the exposure time for the first 10 layers up. Way up, like 10x the exposure time for normal layers. They'll come out noticeably oversized, maybe 0.3mm bigger than you wanted. Adjust the model to compensate.

(Assuming you've already levelled the print platform etc in line with the manufacturer's instructions and your resin is OK)

The common wisdom (this is back when I was still fiddling with an Elegoo Mars 2-3 years ago) was to print the model at an angle and elevated from build plate. There should always be rafts and supports under the model.

Any reason this is not provided for download through F-Droid. I trust apps on F-Droid more than Google Play and helps with installing in degoogled phones.

It's a variant, with lots of quality-of-life upgrades, some very well thought-out new mechanics, and new biomes and missions.

I always found the game becoming easier with more mechanics/weapons/potions added (in other variants). Is this the case with SPD?

> By your reasoning, any backend that’s not accessible directly by the user is proprietary

I've never said such thing. It doesn't matter if you can access things directly: proprietary means it's not FOSS, that's it.

> Discord can be run in the browser and is accessible via APIs. I think it’s as open as any other web app by a company that has a commercial interest

You need an account to browse Discord, which they can take away from you anytime. If you lose your account you lose your membership to any invite-only communities you belong to, which can be a big deal if you don't have other means to communicate with them to get invited back.

Also, Discord isn't indexable by search engines. So, no there's a big difference between Discord and most web forums.

Also, I don't have anything in particular against Discord (it's miles ahead of Slack in UX for instance, which I hate with a passion), but when people advertise themselves as fans of the old web, and link to their Discord, one can only smirk from the irony.

Kinda weird to start talking FOSS when the website itself never ever claimed to have anything to do with FOSS.

What does search engines indexability have to do with FOSS? There's no shortage of old school forums locked behind membership system, not indexable by any search engines.

Also Discord is an instant messaging software and not "web". It just happens to have a web frontend. It's OK to be nostalgic of the old web but not the old instant messaging softwares.

Vending machines also won't take the ¥1, ¥5, or ¥10 coins...

Luckily the conbini shops have machines that do take them and allow you to dump a whole handful of change in at once and will give change back in the minimal configuration. So my recommendation in Japan is when you buy something at the conbini, dump all of your loose change into the machine, then pay the rest with a ¥1,000 notes and you will get the minimal number of coins back.

Oh, and you can throw the ¥5 coins into the local shrine for good luck. :-D

Vending machines take ¥10 coins, there's a huge issue if they don't.

Super weird IMO that they refuse to release source code. Hard to trust something as important as notes to an opaque app.
iCarrot · 2 years ago
It's built with Electron so not entirely opaque.

Car manufacturers don't release their source code either, yet people trust something as important as their life to it daily.

I still think (from limited testing with german->french and vice-versa) that DeepL gives better results than gpt4.
iCarrot · 2 years ago
Try telling GPT-4 that the translation is bad, and ask it to proofread the result for a more natural French

I have this problem all the time.

I live in Vietnam and my address looks something like

561/34/13 Điện Biên Phủ, Phương 25, Quận Tân Bình, TP. Hồ Chí Minh

The ways this usually fails with websites:

They tell me a slash isn't allowed, like they know my address better than me.

They tell me I need a post code. There are no post codes in Vietnam.

They tell me I need a state or province. Hồ Chí Minh City is a city without a province. (There are five such cities that have the same rank as a province and thus aren't contained within one.)

They have no concept of phương ("ward") and quận ("district"), without which the rest of my address is anything from ambiguous to useless. They often have a "second address line" where I can put this in but they often have limitations that make it impossible to enter. (Like not allowing commas, or only allowing 15 characters, or not allowing periods, and I don't even remember what all problems I run into the years with it.)

And all for what?

iCarrot · 3 years ago
There are post codes in Vietnam, believe it or not. Though I doubt any local delivery service actually look at it.

Hanoi post code is in the 100000 range (used to be 10000), Saigon's 700000

Is it because of tracking protection/fingerprinting protection being on by default?
