How about MNT Reform or it's Pocket little brother?

They get you

  • Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you're into that
  • Modern components
  • HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
  • No sticky goo coating
  • Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

  • Low price - you didn't mention a budget constraint
  • Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

NACC Inspector will "investigate" over Robodebt (theklaxon.com.au)
 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission Inspector has announced she has launched a formal investigation into the regulator’s refusal to investigate six public officials referred by the Royal Commission into Robodebt.

For anyone missing the significance, the Inspector announced "looking into" complaints about the NACC decision months ago, but this is the first time the word "investigation" has been used.

The distinction is important because once a formal “investigation” is commenced the NACC Inspector has additional powers, including the power to obtain documents.

I'm not talking about the technique, I'm talking about the video. Both the individual creature designs and the appearance of the "how-to" animations look like carbon copies.

If Twitter hadn't imploded I would be able to check how similar they actually are.

Is this the original creator? These look very much like gifs from someone I followed on twitter years ago, but the video is only four months old and says "technique I learned about recently"

I've migrated from Lychee to Prusaslicer+UVTools. It's less ergonomic, and the auto supports seem a little light-on, but it fulfills my needs and being open source means a lot to me.

The decision by the National Anti-Corruption Commission not to investigate the six public servants over the Robodebt scandal appears to have been “infected by the bias of Commissioner Justice Paul Brereton and, if so, should now be disregarded”, says Stephen Charles AO KC, a former judge at the Victorian Court of Appeal and a former board member of the Centre of Public Integrity.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong was forced to concede that Australia was exporting parts into the F-35 global supply chain but then doubled down. She told ABC Insiders on 16 June: “We have F-35s… we are part of 18 nations who are part of that consortia. We are involved in non-lethal parts…”

The UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) makes no mention of the lethality of the individual parts or components that comprise the weapons (“conventional arms”) it covers.

The Arms Trade Treaty and the Geneva Conventions are clear on human rights responsibilities. Article 6.3 states that a nation-state should not authorise any transfer of conventional arms if it knows at the time that the items would be used in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, or other war crimes.
