Alright, kiddos. It's time to... Kick! That! Beehive!
You may or may not have been following the recent drama involving the Tesseract Lemmy UI. Much hilarity has ensued. I will spare you the synopsis.
What this has to do with 3D printing is, I naturally took it upon myself to run with the suggestion and design an award for anyone cool enough to be on the Tesseract secret ban list.
A physical award, mind you.
You can download it from Printables here.
I included the FreeCAD source file also, which alas includes some rather heavy duty prerendered text for the front part, but perhaps you can mess with it as you see fit anyhow. I realized belatedly I was probably unconsciously inspired quite a bit by that old "winners don't do drugs" seal that used to appear on arcade machines back in the day. I kind of like the vibe, though, so I'm sticking with it. It's got wings, a hang tab to dangle it off of a lanyard or zipper pull, it's got it all.
I would be remiss if I did not mention for them as do not own or have access to a 3D printer that I am also selling these already printed on my shop, under the perhaps misguided assumption that I will neither get crucified here for my crass commercialism nor go broke on postage mailing them out.
Is it too late to get on the list?
Apparently several people have gotten themselves added since the initial reveal of the list by deliberately razzing Mr. Patrick via private message, among other things. I imagine he is also running automated scraping tools to seek out people for his self-styled version of "non-normie" behavior (i.e. keywords) to block as well.
Oh sweet. Perchance if I 🥺👉👈 fill my posts with keywords like "what would the french do" and "crossposted from https://anarchist.nexus/", famed boot licker Admiral Patrick will declare death to me and try to remove me from reality and then maybe I can be part of the list of proletairat freedom unit users in his "policy.json" list where I can claim Tesseract is censoring me. Hey @admiralpatrick@lemmy.world: ACAB.
Edit: Oh wait. Has the host that serves that "policy.json" file disappeared? My machine is saying "could not resolve hostname." Hmmmm. It may be too late for me.
