> Max out your 3D printing with FDM, and only if you can't achieve your goals, get a resin printer.

Not everyone has the luxury of affording space for multiple ecosystems. Not everyone owns a house. Some live in small urban apartments and have to count every m² of shelf space. Printers, supplies and spare parts all add up. So the decision may be between one printer or nothing, and I can see why one might choose to go SLA first if they know exactly what they want up front.

True. The point I was trying to make is, once you’re past that valley it can feel just as normal and convenient as FDM printing.

So “[y]ou don't want a resin printer” may be true for you, or for most users, but certainly not true for everyone. It’s a question of personal preference.

You’re absolutely correct, and I owe you a honest statement—it was a hack, and here’s the kicker: *I failed to catch it, and that’s on me.*

Here’s a complete rundown of what happened—load-bearing parts first:

Three different marketplaces have been mentioned in this discussion:

1. The Cursor Marketplace (never heard of this one, it’s possibly a custom marketplace hard-wired into Cursor, which is architecturally a VS Code fork?)

2. The Visual Studio marketplace, hard-wired into VS Code

3. Open VSX

If I understand this thread correctly, then #1 and #3 had compromised versions, and nobody has made a statement yet about the status of #2.

On the other hand, once you have everything in place, get used to the process, have made it a habit and stick to it rigorously, it can be extremely rewarding to do resin printing.

Same here, PrusaSlicer and a custom uvtools workflow with an Anycubic Mono M7 Pro.

Each OS apparently comes with its own trade-offs, just look at the sheer amount of unhappiness expressed in this thread.

What market share proves is popularity. Which is important in an OS, but ridiculing other people's choices on grounds of market share doesn't seem very convincing to me.

Unlike a calculator or a digital watch, a phone is a general-purpose computing device with a screen, industry standard interfaces and peripherals.

Not GP, but I'm reading your comment on Firefox ESR on my daily driver, a Librem 5 running PureOS, another mobile Debian fork. The OS is maintained by paid contractors, funded by Purism hardware sales and donations from users.

What is your goalpost for a "serious OS"?

I liked Moldrise a lot. It's at most 3 hours though, maybe 4 if you want all the achievements.

Meanwhile in our inboxes: “We take the security and privacy of our users very seriously” and “We have no reason to believe that social security numbers in our user database were accessed.”

> preventing access to sites that distract employees and have zero business value (pornography, gambling, etc.)...

This is simplistic and almost certainly leads to overblocking.

Blocking a gambling domain sounds innocent on the surface but what if the gambling company publishes an article in their corporate blog to share how they solved a specific scaling problem or what money data modelling lessons they've learned?

It has happened to me more than once that I tried to read an article that was immediately relevant to my work but was denied access due to naive domain overblocking.

Please stop normalizing this shit.

> with downloads you can copy to any device.

I don’t see a download option. There used to be one, but they killed it two years ago or so.

And Amazon can still remove the book from your library anytime they want.

On the other hand, the browser built by that hapless, ineffectual competitor works decently enough for daily use imho.

One day, RAM prices will settle again, and the USA-China race will probably keep giving us fresh models to self-host (weights only, but still.)

That's not too far from owning it.
