Skulljack #1 - Cyberpunk Web Comic

Fun with laser cutting and airbrushing dye today!
1mon 21d ago in leathercraft@lemmy.caI laser cut stitching holes in vegetable tanned leather for a ren faire bag last year using a Glowforge 40W laser cutter. It turned out really well. It's significantly easier than punching the holes by hand.
Great ideas

Mini, spoiler-free review of Red Team Blues, by Corey Doctorow
1mon 27d ago in sciencefictionHere's a link to his blog version of the same thread I referenced. Seems like a hop issue among other stuff.
Doctorow recently said on Bluesky that the reason he's such a prolific writer is that he's constantly in pain and sitting down to write is an activity that helps him ignore it or get through it. So he said that's why he wrote 7 books during the pandemic.
I feel like the dystopian techbros and super-rich aren't getting enough credit in this meme 🤔😁
3mon 4d ago in writers from cdn.masto.hostI posted this on Bluesky last year from a hacker conference:
"Was talking to a guy yesterday at #Teardown2025 about cyberpunk since he saw my author's copy of The Big Book of Cyberpunk. He said he gets depressed reading dystopian stories. I said I feel the same way when I read the news."

A Day in the Pre-Internet World, as Understood by Someone Born in 2002
3mon 10d ago in newyorker@ibbit.at from www.newyorker.comPre-web, not pre-internet technically. Everyone on the bulletin board system read about the pantsing and the knowledge is immortalized on the logs until they're purged in a software update or the hard drive dies or IBM compatibles overtake the Commodore 64 market, which will definitely never happen...

Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL)
4mon 6d ago in 3dprinting from blog.prusa3d.comIt's a partnership and the INDX isn't a separate printer, just a new extruder, so it's not like Prusa has no involvement. I would say "completely" is inaccurate here. If it were solely the effort of INDX, they wouldn't need to partner with Prusa. There are other third parties that release mods for printers that aren't collaborations with the original manufacturer.
If Prusa hired the INDX engineers from BondTech instead of partnering, would you still consider it completely separate? A company is just composed of current employees. At what point is it Theseus' ship of development?
And that's not even considering the CORE One, the recent CORE One+ update, the CORE One L announcement, the OpenPrintTag, et al. They've been announcing more new stuff in the last year at a faster rate than previous years.
