@lexfeathers "Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should.", written by the same company who added "AI" overview to their search without asking us...
I wonder what they'll do with the results, whether it'll make them reconsider it or not

@vaporeon_ Oh I doubt it will do anything other than confirm what they already know, but it's a good joke.

@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ yeah I think this is mostly just to promote that their "AI" features are optional and can be toggled off, unlike with some other services. The poll reinforces the "you have a choice" message

@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ Do you think they've recreated this Simpsons bit with their limited pin giveaway (which I'm linking to just so I can get that stupid pin)?

@IntrepidVector @lexfeathers I see... Not really a choice if you clear cookies regularly and it defaults to it turned on and not to it turned off... I avoid it by going to https://lite.duckduckgo.com, the version without JavaScripts and without LLMs, but it doesn't have picture search, so for picture search I instead have to remember to type in https://noai.duckduckgo.com, which is somewhat annoying...

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector Yeah it's not great. Afaik some browsers are offering it as a default search engine? I heard librewolf is in talks about adding it as a default option.

@lexfeathers @IntrepidVector You mean lite.duckduckgo.com as default search engine? I can confirm that Librewolf does offer that, I switched to Librewolf recently over the Firefox LLM stuff and set the default engine to lite.duckduckgo.com

@lexfeathers "We don't all feel the same about AI"
Kinda... kinda looks like we do?

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector @lexfeathers it's a bit annoying to do it for each browser across devices but you can add and set the noai version as the default search engine

@lexfeathers Just clicked the funny "No" button. 👍

@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.
Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@foxyloon If waterfox works like firefox, you should be able to go to Settings > Search, and then add a new search engine at the bottom with the following URL:
https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
Then, select it from the search engine options at the top of that settings page.

@lexfeathers Has the question be created by AI? - Bc I strongly advocate using ai to assist doctors with finding good diagnoses but I strongly oppose using ai to creat dumb pictures.

@lexfeathers It says that "we dont all feel the same way about AI" on the results page which is a statement that the results flatly contradict

@tasket@infosec.exchange an official protocol handler would help a lot. Today there is the option of introducing a web protocol handler but the UX for it is pretty dogshit (Piefed recently implemented it, and the number of dialogues was too damn high!)
That said I don't know if PWAs can register against non-web protocol handlers. That would be useful for sites like NodeBB.

Testing a Continuous Printing Mod for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini
There are a few types of continuous 3D printing with FDM printers, with a conveyer belt and automatic build plate swapping the most common types. The advantage of build plate swapping is that it automates the bit where normally a human would have to come in to remove finished parts from the build plate. A recent entry here is the Chitu PlateCycler C1M which the [Aurora Tech] YouTube channel had over for a review. This kit bolts onto the Bambu Lab A1 Mini FDM printer and comes with four extra PEI build plates for a not unreasonable $79 (€69).
As also noted in the review video, this is effectively a clone of the original swapmod A1m kit, but a big difference is that the Chitu kit comes with all of the parts and doesn’t require you to print anything yourself.
The different plates are prepared using a special tool that inserts G-code between the plate changes. Moving the bed in a specific way triggers the switch that lifts the finished plate off the magnetic bed by the plastic grip on the plate and loads a fresh plate from the stack. Here it was found that a small tolerance issue prevented the last plate from being used, but some sandpaper fixed this. Other than that it was a fairly painless experience, and for e.g. multi-color prints with separated colors – as demonstrated – it would seem to be a great way to churn out the entire model without manual intervention or a lot of wasted filament.
Perhaps the main issue that is central to all of these build plate swap mods is where the plates go after they’re pulled off the magnetic bed: the padded box is a great idea for the first one or two plates, but after that you get your PEI build plates with parts on them crashing on top of each other.
This is where perhaps something like a passive roller conveyer system could provide a nice gentle off-ramp, though this too would increase the footprint of the system. Regardless, the overall system seems to work well enough, allowing one to stack fresh plates in the chute and if you turn on build plate detection in the A1 you can even prevent the printer from trying to print on the magnetic bed.

@fediversereport If they are smart they will fix a raft of fundamental UX pitfalls in current ActivityPub by defining a protocol handler for it.
Email needed its protocol handler spec while it was getting established – and arguably still does – and I do think this is one of the ways in which ActivityPub is "like email".

C’era una volta Repubblica – Intervista con Franco Recanatesi

Cinquant’anni di Repubblica, con tanta nostalgia e un certo dolore. Nostalgia per lo straordinario quotidiano che fu, fondato e diretto da Eugenio Scalfari; dolore per ciò che ha smesso da tempo
