Cat has just returned from exploring the Void Behind the Desk.She's absolutely engulfed in old, dusty spider webs.Next up: teaching her to do blinds!

@TheNerdyMel In theory I could 3D print one for her! However, being a cat, getting her to wear it would be major achievement. Furthermore, once achieved, she would choose to do nothing other than sit in the sun with it. 😂

@TheNerdyMel I recently finished a dust collector for a CNC router that holds a brush, so "cat Swiffer" is not much of a conceptual reach for me!

@TheNerdyMel I highly recommend #FreeCAD and #blender3d when you get into doing your own designs. Both are free and open source and bloody impressive. Both also come with quite the learning curve but that's where the fun is! Blender for the artist brain, FreeCAD for the engineer brain.

@theexplorographer If they recruit some of the excellent people who parodied brands on Twitter, I'd follow them until the lawsuits shut them down. 😂

@Raspberry_Pi Dude. I still have my HP45. Powered it up a few years ago and it's still going strong.

@stux Also, click on that link and log in with fake data. Make it nearly impossible to filter out the people who have been tricked from the garbage, let them stew in a morass of bad data, hopefully triggering firewalls in the process.

@tante Not surprising. The Dropbox feature creep fetish to be something more than what I need or want caused me to switch to sync.com years ago.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Depends. How much extra catpacity does it have?

@clive In the unfortunate case where a certain individual becomes Commander in Chief, I would support this course of action.

@peggycollins This reminds me of a psychedelic pair of pants I had back in the 60's.

@gianmarcogg03 The services aren't running. They're there so there is something to run if you do enable it. Otherwise you'd need to go through a new install cycle to turn it on.

@Wolven While that's true, once the web exploded even AltaVista relied on sponsorship revenue, which still makes user eyeballs the product.I think it's a universal truth that either something has an quasi-anonymous benefactor, the user pays, or the user is the product.Take Mastodon for example, the users/admins who contribute to the operation of an instance and make it free for everyone else are the quasi-anonymous benefactors.
