Realtime 100x print speed is possible, but only in simulation! Attach the Marlin Simulator to LLDB in VSCode and there's no more fun and exciting way to debug and test your improvements to our small and maximally efficient #OpenSource motion system. #RepRap #3DPrinting #ImgUI

"Auto Build Marlin" is a VSCode extension created by the lead developer of Marlin Firmware to provide all the tools you need in one convenient location. It's never been easier to configure, build, and update your motion system firmware! #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource #VSCode

I’ll be live streaming later today, putting some final touches to the upcoming Marlin 2.1.3 release. This version will be tagged on Friday and we’ll patch up your reported issues in followup point releases. #3DPrinting

All things being equal, sane people would maintain well-founded beliefs and insane people would maintain a catalog of irrational beliefs. But to get sane people to embrace unfounded and irrational beliefs, that takes a bully like religion or authoritarianism. #TylenolRapture

I believe I will soon be raptured away to a paradise, a world built by grown-ups for the comfort and prosperity of agnostic grown-ups and their progeny that exists somewhere in Eurasia. #RaptureMeThis

I'm just one little fool who occasionally subscribed to Disney+ to catch up on a thing or two. Now I will be one little fool who occasionally downloads pirated content to catch up on a thing or two. Yo-ho-ho! I'm exercising my free speech rights with my wallet. #DisneyMinus

Anyone else still occasionally using Midnight Commander (because Terminals are dumb without it)?

Can you vibe code a 44-year-old retro game using only local LLMs (with a little assistance from a retro coder)? #vibecoding #retrocomputing #llm www.twitch.tv/videos/25583...

This little spot makes for a good office away from home! #OpenSource

The runner up for #ABBUC 2021 was "Fallen Kingdom" for the #Atari XL/XE. (Ported in 2022 as a Steam game called "Chessformer.") It combines chess with a platformer containing 30 challenging levels. I needed to stretch my coding skills, so for a weekend challenge I ported the game to #Pico8!

How many states, cities, towns, counties, and parishes are struggling to pay for their basic services because they’re stuck paying out massive settlements caused by the corruption, malfeasance, and harms perpetrated by their agents and officials upon ordinary citizens? We have a crisis in quality.

In spite of all the madness among our befuddled peers it’s another beautiful and miraculous day in this luminous universe, so make the best of it!

The GPT-OSS models released by OpenAI seem to be very outdated (over 3 years old) and their weaknesses are very apparent when compared to other open source models like DeepSeek, Mistral, and Qwen. But AI researchers and historians may find them interesting. #OpenAI #LLMs #AI

now THAT'S the kind of tipping point we like to see Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, new UN report finds: 'Fossil fuels are running out of road' www.goodgoodgood.co/...

For health and comfort I’m adopting a new caloric/digestive thing in addition to my vegan thing: Alternating day fasting. One day of typical caloric intake followed by a day with 25% of that. Also cutting down on FODMAPs, while upping simple carbs, e.g., jasmine rice. #IBD

I gave a sneak peak of an incoming project to @joeltelling.bsky.social at @opensaucelive.bsky.social and the video is live!! Go watch!!! youtu.be/csBoh1NBNUM

We were a more kind, just, temperate, compassionate, forward-thinking, wise, and worldly nation during the period after two massive world wars removed many young men from the population and millions of women were required to step up to fulfill more roles. Peacetime deevolution is a thing!

The definition of irony: Contracting pneumonia while you’re taking an extended health break. 😵 (And now I know what a “pleural effusion” is.) I just need to take it easy (and sleep a lot) for a little while, then I’ll be back on the project full-time! #RepRap #OpenSource #HealthyRoutine

Someone tell Donald that runaway inflation does not necessarily guarantee the installation of a dictatorship, so his runaway inflation scheme is probably not going to work!

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions? 3D printing. It’s great! So many applications. But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

Breaking News: Trump just fired everyone in the government with the first name "Jeffrey" or the last name "Epstein."

With so many changes in our industry, now is Marlin's critical moment. Our sponsorship is in steep decline, yet our workload is holding steady. As we continue support and development we need your help now more than ever! marlinfw.org/docs/develop... #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource

Auto Build Marlin 2.1.75 is out now and has some nice improvements for you! - Config Editor: Updated for Marlin 2.1.3-b3 compatibility. - Info Panel: Documentation Search for convenient access to the knowledge you need when you need it! github.com/MarlinFirmwa... #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

Can it ever be as good as the version in my head? #DoYouEvenCyberBro #neuromancer

Local #LLM Mistral Small 3.2 keeps hitting the mark. Given a succinct system prompt to convert C header content to YAML the result is strongly aligned. For the next test I gave Mistral 280 lines of C++ to convert to Python. It did the job with only one gaffe (a ternary). With that one correction, 🤌🏻!

Marlin 2.1.3 beta 3 is out now! github.com/MarlinFirmwa... We're in the home stretch to the official release. One more big sprint to address all your outstanding bug reports and then we'll put a ring on this thing!

According to the precedents being set today by this lawless Administration any future Democratic Administration could thumb its nose at the courts and hire an army of kind people to force us all to accept Universal Basic Income and Free Healthcare.

Building… building… building… Marlin 2.1.3-b3 binaries. @marlinfw.org #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

I had a baklava and three strong ales to take revenge on my disagreeable digestive system with the expected purgative results. It was the most moving experience I’ve had in years.

When I’m the President there will be no military parade on my birthday. But instead, free cake and ice cream for everyone! #NoKings

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

“The Last Seduction” was such an amazing dark comedy and Linda Fiorentino is brilliant in it, but kick me for telling people: You gotta see “The Last Romance”! Although … that might actually have been a better title. #movies

It’s been 12 hours and my Spectrum Internet is still down. This is quite a long outage for what has become a vital utility. Spectrum has a few minor outages every year. Would Google Fiber be any more stable or reliable? #AustinOutage

Could this be the largest tax refund in history?

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

#Austin got hit by a tropical storm today that whipped through and knocked over a lot of trees and things. It also knocked out the Internet so all those good TMCStepper patches for Marlin are delayed, sorry! #3DPrinting #OpenSource @marlinfw.org

The rich & powerful are doing just fine without my help. So I’m going to spend my life helping those who actually need it.

The old Prusa i3 is coming together slowly, new custom part by new custom part. I just sticky-taped the PSU to the right side of the i3 frame, so I can chop off most of the bottom and side for the PSU cover…. Oh well, it's already #3DPrinting right now, but I'll add more flair to the final design.

Because you asked: Large Avocado - 279g - $2.99 32.6g pit. 28.6g skin. 217.8g (78%) edible. 1.37¢/g Small Avocado - 143g - $0.69 15.1g pit. 19.5g skin. 108.4g (75%) edible. 0.63¢/g Small Avocados are a MUCH better value. #food #economy

If you're an American company competing with foreign suppliers, the #tariffs offer you a great opportunity for price gouging! As long as your prices are lower than your foreign competitors, amirite?? This is just one of the wonderful ways that tariffs drive up prices and get all over everything.

Up pretty late working on Marlin but then I decided to be up pretty later and design a useful thing. Who can guess what this object is for? #OpenSCAD #CAD #3DPrinting

People will finally wake up to the reality that #tariffs are a regressive tax on the poor only when the price of pizza has doubled. That’s the Domino’s Effect.

Every #RepRap machine can benefit from well-tuned Input Shaping! This OctoPrint plugin makes the process much simpler and provides a vital UI component in the evolution of Marlin motion control. #3DPrinting github.com/navaismo/Oct...

Cabbage should be a staple in your kitchen.

You know when you’re working hard and making great stuff. Keep it up!

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to forget who you are so you can remember who you is.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

Fun fact about me: I have never watched or listened to a Joe Rogan podcast. From what I can see it is a stupid show for stupid people. I have always had a natural aversion to programming made to entertain and distract dummies.
