I've had to do a lot of Jira captchas over time. They were so horribly ambiguous that I had a failure rate of about one in two. So I tried the audio captcha and was met with the sound of a demon being murdered and nothing else.

It's becoming increasingly common for community spaces like public libraries to provide access to 3d printers, which is an awesome way to play around with the tech without full investment if you're lucky enough to have something nearby.

There's a video introduction that talks a little about it and shows a bit of usage.

The canonical proprietary version of this is the SpaceMouse.

These are used in concert with a traditional mouse, with the 3d mouse being used for navigation of the 3d space. They have six degrees of freedom (as in, you can rotate in any axis or you can push it in any axis) so you can rotate and you can pan any which way with full control.

If you've ever gotten frustrated in a 3d program trying to figure out the correct sequence of rotations to get to your preferred view, that's the use case the 3d mouse addresses.

This is just about my favourite sequence of words. Will you be publishing the progress of this project?

Absolutely, there are a good few window managers designed to be standalone. I use AwesomeWM and i3 is very popular.

If you don't need a full desktop environment it's nice to have something that mostly stays out of the way.

There's an Australian company targeting that market, although AFAICT is vapourware so far, and imo a little too low performance for the price

Which EV manufacturer doesn't use DRM or similar post-sale controls?

The Jobseeker program has always been about punishing the poor. The sudden raise in payments and dropping mutual obligations when "normal" people were ending up on Jobseeker during covid was a blatant demonstration of that.

As written the only person who could have communicated that story is Lot himself. Coming out of the desert with only your two daughters and two babies seems like it might be good motivation to embellish

Sepia Search is a global search of peertube content and it has a language filter

I can't speak to your other requirements but the Nokia brand has a couple of repairable phones as a result of an ifixit partnership.

As Linux Phones they're a bit more niche but the Librem 5 and the Pine Phone/Pro are very repairability focussed

Ironically Nokia* now make highly repairable phones** again

* Specifically, the company that bought the Nokia Phones brand

** Only their G series
