The only place you’ll get this configuration of dudes living together is prison.

So I guess that’s good news for Andrew.

@Daojoan "scared of AI" as in "scared of mold". Like mold, it's not going to become sentient and eat us all. But also like mold, it has a tendency to spoil previously good things, and my preferred amount of it in my (information) diet is zero with very few, carefully selected exceptions. Those exceptions, or the bries among the internet mold that is AI, are things like automatic transcription or translation.

Today has not gone to plan. They were good plans and they fell apart in spectacular fashion but we seem to have a solution and things should be back to OK in a few days.

And the dancers dance on.

Have a good weekend if you possibly can.

This phone stand shouldn't exist!

I combined flexible TPU (blue) with regular PLA (red and gray), and these materials don't typically mix well.

The solution to make them work together was using interface layers, so their infill essentially becomes enmeshed in each other.

Feels like an otherworldly material!

Let me thank @evilstevie for ideas about #VirtualBox, I asked for ways of managing #VirtualMachines on desktop #Linux as a #blind user requiring speech and braille #A11y, but overlooked virtualbox for some reason. I have found two GUI remote access methods for virtualbox, PHPVirtualbox, which I don't think is being developed, and RemoteBox, which I understand is not accessible on Windows/WSL. Does anyone know of a way to manage VirtualBox through a remote GUI in a way accessible to users of #NVDA or#Jaws? Boosts are very welcome.

Rained all day. Looking back at photos of springs gone by to compensate. Found a tree singing to some daffodils.

Hill I'm Willing To Die On, part 372

You don't WIN something at an auction. You BUY something at an auction for a price that is more than anyone else is willing to pay for it, and that's a really weird definition of winning.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is ‘Nazi’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

That phenomenon where you have a compile error, or a software bug, and when you fix it it turns out there was another one hiding behind it, and so on. And you don't find out what each failure is until you've fixed the previous one, so it's hard to tell in advance how many more problems you'll have to fix until it's working.

It just struck me that a nice snappy description of the phenomenon is: "Error messages ride in single file, to hide their numbers."
