PolyMC has a toxic lead dev. Google it to learn more. PrismLauncher forked from it about a year ago taking nearly all the active devs, and it remains my favorite launcher of all those I've used.
Fuck PolyMC.

Hi5! I'm 45 and I have played MC from the beginning, still play it more than any other game. Now my little kids play it with me and it's their favorite too.
for me, reddit nearly always has way more quality content and news for me though for the time being
It's not just you.
As constructively as I can put this, reddit has been building community and goodwill for many years. Lemmy has only recently become an option and it's done wonderfully in the short time it's had.
The challenge is the catch 22. People go where there is more content, they produce content there, and then there is more content there. There no vacuum, reddit didn't disappear. It became toxic and people apparently care less about avoiding toxicity than filling up on dank memes.
All I can say to that is we all need to be the change we want to see in the world. Adopt a Lemmy First mentality, and go to reddit only to pick up legacy slack. Continue the conversation from there over here. Link it up.
Look forward to talking to you!
Did this community just whiff /r/selfawarewolves
The same could be said of literally every single product that magically became way more expensive post pandemic for no justifiable reason.
I'd like to hear how you do minis on fdm. I'm planning pressing resin into service for that and a couple other things, but if you have a good workflow for minis on fdm, I have friends who want them and fdm can do it way way faster than resin at the trade off resolution.
Not so much a move as an addition. And there are a few reasons.
One, I like projects where the outcome is a useful tool, but the project aspect itself is a significant part of my motivation.
The reason for the Voron being that project is that it will be a WAY faster and more competent tool than my ender, which was a prohibitive limitation especially for larger prints. A failure at hour 23 of a 24 hour print sucks, but the same print failing at hour 3:45 of 4 hours is way easier to accept. At that point the loss of filament matters more than the lost time in my eyes.
Also Voron2 has a much better design than ender 3 pro for exotic filaments, making ABS / ASA / nylon more approachable. Better tuning options, compensation (lower / less moving mass), bigger plate, taller build volume.
The bigger plate is significant for things like ergo mechanical keyboard chassis. I'm a Dactyl Manuform user and builder, and the ender 3 pro can only print one half at a time and takes more than a full day each half. Voron should be able to knock out two halves at once inside of a work day, and do so with better quality to boot.
The ender still has a place, particularly with the mods I have on it. Specifically, TPU can't benefit from the speed of Voron, so there's no reason not to print it on ender. Also it never hurts to have a tuned, working machine if you have to take one offline for maintenance.
I'm 100% retro and linux gaming, but I don't need to force my kids down the road I'm on. I just share what I love and hope they choose it for themselves so we have common interests. So far, surprisingly, they both love NES / SNES and that's thanks to Nintendo developing the same franchises for decades, for better or worse.
I don't really game on the go other than mindless android games. If I did, steam deck makes way more sense. For the kids I keep thinking Switch mainly because they already love the Wii, and all their friends have Switches, so it's a social vocabulary thing.
Surely you're right about the satisfaction part. I need to make sure the kids are part of it, maybe choosing models and building, painting, etc with me. They are pretty young but once they get a little better spatial awareness and reading skills, python and freecad are not out of the question! They play minecraft already, so we're off to a good start I think.
