Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Cloudflare gets involved in the battle against piracy, blocking streaming websites in the UK — and VPNs won't helpEnglish76·7 days agoThe title here is misleading.
Cloudflare “getting involved” would imply they decided to act of their own volition; which is not the case here.
“Cloudflare compelled to block specific piracy sites by court order” would be a more honest title.
We should at least take the time to be mad at the correct people.
Nate Cox@programming.devto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Prints appear to be lifting in one corner.English1·7 days agoFWIW I wouldn’t do dish soap like all the time, I only go to it when IPA isn’t doing the job. Come to think of it, since I switched to 99% IPA I haven’t needed to use dish soap at all; doesn’t seem to leave behind that residue.
As always, experimenting is the key. If you’ve eliminated wet filament, z-offset calibration, nozzle clogs, nozzle heat, bed heat, bed cleaning, model issues (e.g., low surface area needing brims), and filament feeding issues… that PLA may just hate you.
Nate Cox@programming.devto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Prints appear to be lifting in one corner.English3·8 days agoI’ve seen the alcohol recommendation already (91% minimum) but have you tried washing the bed with hot water and dish soap? Sometimes when my bed adhesion just won’t take I find dish soap solves it instantly.
PLA does have a shelf life, if cleaning the bed isn’t working getting a fresh roll could definitely be worth a try. PLA+ in particular has always seemed extra finicky to me.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•Trump once hosted party for ‘young women’ where Epstein was only guest, says reportEnglish141·12 days agoYou’re not getting downvoted because people are denying Clinton is probably on the list; you’re getting downvoted for saying anyone is defending it.
Get the list, investigate every single person on it, punish anything we can prove. As the justice system is supposed to work.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•[No PHPun Intended] A Brief History of Web DevelopmentEnglish8·13 days agoOh sorry, that P actually stands for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”.

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•Full list of Republicans who blocked Epstein files voteEnglish4·17 days agoIt was entirely republicans voting against.
It kills me that this take is so hard to find online.
Did I think calling the main branch “master” was offensive before this controversy? No, I’d never even considered it.
Does switching to calling it “main” impact me, like… at all? Also no. It’s like the lowest effort change to make.
If I can make my industry more welcoming to a more diverse group of people, that is a solid victory and way more important than the name of my primary git branch.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewersEnglish3·19 days agoI don’t think it’s really gaming-to-politics. I think it’s more like gaming-to-very-loud-bigot. The fact that bigotry is so tightly coupled into right wing politics is just coincidental.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•HOA fines man over handing out water in heatEnglish3·20 days agoSo are you just trying to be an ass here, or are you genuinely just so invested that you can’t see you’re arguing in bad faith?
Nate Cox@programming.devto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the QWERTY keyboard was *not* designed to intentionally slow down typingEnglish1·21 days agoI carry around a 3x5 split keyboard with Colemak-dh mapped via firmware. Because I, too, am absolutely useless at a qwerty keyboard now.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.English1301·26 days ago… as a TV show, right? Right?
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish3·26 days agoI don’t think there is a good answer here. I didn’t really want my kids to have phones either but all you’re doing by denying them the primary social tool of their generation is ostracizing them from their peers.
Being a parent sometimes feels like a series of un-winnable choices.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish11·26 days agoWat? It’s called a colloquialism. It’s a way to describe something I know you know without needing to spell it out.
You’re basically asserting that anything described using an analogy must inherit all the traits of anything else that analogy is used for, which is just silly. It’s a classic composition/division fallacy.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish51·26 days agoYeah, my state just enacted a “bell-to-bell” ban on cell phones in schools for my kids. I absolutely support a ban on phones in class (so long as the school is providing necessary tech to educate with) but banning between class just ignores that phones are an important part of how kids socialize and ripping it away cold-turkey can’t be healthy.
Edit: also, I gave my kids phones primarily so they could contact me in an emergency, and I am very much not ok with the state telling me they can’t have the phone in their backpack.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Finally witnessed somebody use ChatGPT instead of socialisingEnglish2·27 days agoAlso the whole incredible adaptable camouflage thing.
Edit: I’d probably be an Orca (the asshole of the sea) or a peregrine falcon. One gets to glide through the ocean, the other soar through the air. Both sound rad.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•Republicans and Democrats in Secret Talks to Create a Third PartyEnglish31·29 days agoI agree that it’s not much of an argument.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish80·29 days agoI loathe and despise using percentages like this.
500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.
Savagery.
