Other way around. Open Library is part of the internet archive. Given it’s also vastly superior in quality and has tools to maintain and administrate the data, I very much prefer it over alternative offerings. If Bookwyrm at least had a curation/maintainence team or support group or something, and not everyone could just nilly-willy add duplicates of existing entries, then I could see more use for it.

But like others have said, it’s also a bit of a different use case. If you want to pull data, definitely do it from OL. They’re the same source Bookwyrm uses for its main data import, after all.

Considering who is behind it, I just use Open Library. In particular because like you say, their actual data is much more useful.

I mean there’s a solid chance not a single coder now is the same as back when it was removed? It’s been quite a while. 😅

Yeah when they removed it there was virtually no comment on it. At the time everybody understood PWAs were just… you might as well use a new window and press F11. It’s just window dressing.

I mean I get it, there’s some marginal use cases. Sure. And it’s nice they’re back!

Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.

Woooosh

Yeah we’re not talking about a BambuLabs printer with some PLA here.

Oh the Predator target marker!

Oh it couldn’t have happened to a better bunch! 😈

The two Xeen games are still such a fuzzy memory to me. Being able to install them into the same folder was so wtf at the time. 😅

Hrm, unlike then. I was thinking whether someone had added that solid-layer-every-X-layers option to the slice. (sadly can’t remember the name, and am at work)

Was this a ready-to-print file you got from someone? Or one that you sliced yourself?

Yes, and it’s inherently designed not to be.

But it also bears repeating that decentralization by itself has no advantage, either.

Mastodon did it to themselves.

There’s a reason Bluesky has a UI that’s more or less exactly like old Twitter. It makes for a smooth transfer.

I mean, I feel it’s a misunderstanding of what users actually use social media for.

Just of top of your head, can you list three reasons they want to join the Fediverse for a “normal” Reddit user? Because I struggle to name one, nevermind three. There’s all the technical reasons, ethical stuff, etc. But that’s all something that enthusiasts would consider, and it goes against how the vast vast majority of users use social media where the more centralized the better as it multiplicatively expands the pool of content and interactions to have everyone centralized.

The Fediverse shows this, in fact! Note how resistant users are to spread over instances, in fact being always after centralizing on the bigger ones. But this isn’t a bad thing really, as it’s simply the nature of social media. Of course far less necessary on federated stuff, but there’s also no reason not to (again, from the perspective of someone wanting to use social media, not advocate).

It’s not an easy thing to do to get users here. The place inherently doesn’t appeal to those it would need to appeal to.

The left one is much easier on the eye, tbh.

Not too be confused with the Masturbatron.

Nice to see people use loops to post desktop video with black bars as portrait, top. 🤮

Actual print looks awesome though! Nice stuff!

I was looking forward to buying a Bambu printer but now it is off the table for me.

I mean for me they were already off the table with their proprietary bullshit overpriced replacement parts. Yeah sure, it prints more out-of-the-box but once you’re used to a little maintenance other printers even cheap ones just are easier. Trivial maintenance and you can get 3-4 for the price of one Bambu usually, which more than offsets the speed.

Don’t worry, keys are already easy to leak. Can’t be long before you just install a plugin in OrcaSlicer and then it works again.
