A different kind of waterfall
#WaterfallWednesdayA local out biking stopped to chat about the falls. He said the water itself was usually quite red, and he rarely sees it this clear.

@alice it seems probable to me that people have probably figured out how to have sex in vr chat by now though. that is above my pay grade to speculate on the ontological ramifications of, but it would be fascinating to read about

@alice right, but if you die in the matrix you also die in real life. being a work of fiction, many exciting things are possible.

@aeva I'd agree that saying you had sex *with* someone would be incorrect, as no one besides you was actually involved.
But to combine with the video game analogy, I think people in the Matrix were having sex, even if the person they were having sex with was a program. Their brains thought it was sex, their bodies thought it was sex, they had no control over their situation, but they thought they were consenting to sex*.
*I'm putting aside rape here, because this topic is already perilous enough for now.

The European Union will support digital drivers' licenses for bloc members.
The new digital license can be stored on a phone and will eventually replace physical documents. It is set to roll out by 2030.

@demofox it's true though, nothing is knowable. nothing is just simply the empty set

@trwnh maybe it means Eternal September.

Tinkercad in Color
Tinkercad is famous for having lots of colors in the interface. But once you export an STL, that file is notoriously monochrome. If you are printing with a single color printer, no problems. But if you have a color printer, what do you do? [CHEP] shows some options, including a relatively new one, in the video below.
The simple way is to “paint” the STL inside your slicer. But as [CHEP] shows, that is a pain and also has some undesirable side effects. A better approach is to export each part (or, at least, each part of the same color) into separate STL files, which you can then import together in the slicer. You still have to paint, but you don’t have to select different faces, and the resulting coloring is more what you’d expect.
However, we also learn about a new Tinkercad feature: bundle groups. This is like the traditional “union group,” except it preserves the part structure in the export file. Now you can import a single file, split it into parts, and get a similar result to what you get if you export each piece separately.
[CHEP] uses a made-up example of a robot head. In reality, rotating it would have made printing much easier, but it does show his point. We might have grouped the eyes, but maybe you want a robot with heterochromia. Also, if your projects get complex, you might not appreciate the part names being things like “Robot Head (3).stl_3.” No worries. You can click on the name and rename it in the slicer.
The second method is very similar to what we recently did in OpenSCAD. Color 3D printing is mainstream now, and it is good to see tools like Tinkercad are recognizing that. If you have an SVG file, we’d suggest this tool.
