Hit an issue last weekend trying to do a multicolor print with my Prusa Core One. Spent some time with Claude.ai on the issue I managed to make an application to help with multicolor single extruder prints. gitlab.com/cschalle/pru... #linux @josefprusa.bsky.social @prusa3d.com

A seductive idea is settling in that America is winning from Donald Trump’s trade war. But that thinking is deeply misguided. The game is not over. And it is one that America cannot win

Donald Trump thinks he’s winning on trade, but America will lose

The harm from tariffs will be lasting and deep

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Xtraceroute Ported To GTK4 + Vulkan For Demonstrating The Open-Source Potential For AI

Christian Schaller, a Fedora developer and Director of Software Engineering at Red Hat, recently began exploring the potential of AI usage more from the open-source/Linux perspective. He was left impressed from his ability to easily generate a Python application for internal Red Hat use to porting the venerable Xtraceroute program to GTK4 and Vulkan...

I have wanted to write this blog post for quite some time, but been unsure about the exact angle of it. I think I found that angle now where I will root the post in a very tangible concrete example. S...

To get a stable surface to place the printer I recommend attaching desk to wall, reducing vibrations improves print quality. Prusa Slicer works great on Fedora Workstation as Flatpak. #prusa #fedora

I bought a Core One 3D printer kit from @prusa3d.com. First of all great to see such a product being made in Europe. My experience was generally good with the kit, but I would say that unless you are comfortable putting together a PC you should go for the pre-assembled version.

We can say all kinds of great things about Lenovo's work in Fedora - how they collaborate with the community in our spaces, how they work with developers for testing or finding bugs, and more.

But the most important thing is for you to buy their laptops. If you're thinking about buying a new […]

BREAKING NEWS!

Adam Kinzinger just had an emergency video to tell us that Ukraine has destroyed 1/3 of Russia's bombers! He said the bombers are thousands of miles from the front lines and Ukraine had to steathily get weapons into Russian and get them setup before they struck.

Wow! In April in Europe, #Škoda sold more Elroqs (7998) than #tesla sold all of its models (7165). 😳

If someone had told me that five years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. At all.

Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now.

I am annoyed by the headlines regarding the Supreme Court decisions around the deportations around the Alien Enemies Act. The headlines all depict it as a big win for Trump, but it was definetly a more mixed message where the Supreme Court clearly stated that due process was needed from now on.

While I kinda understand where Mark Cuban is coming from here it also feels like a declaration of failure when you say that young men's only hope is participating in pyramid schemes and money laundering.

Smartest crypto quote on @blueksy. And it doesn't have to be $5k. In a country where a large number of people don't have $400 in savings, If a candidate doesn't respect the importance of $100 of crypto to young voters, they will lose them

For someone who works a low paid job but has amassed $5000 in crypto, it’s not just an investment. It’s their ticket out. You do NOT want to threaten that if you want them to vote for you.
