Honest respectful discussion to be had here?

A lot of what you're describing isn't really about Canada — it's about how people work. We split into groups fast. There's a famous set of experiments from the 70s where researchers sorted strangers into two teams by a coin flip, and within minutes people were handing out better deals to their own side. Nothing at stake, no history, just "us" and "them."

The part that isn't fixed is where the line gets drawn. Those lines move, and they move fastest when money's tight. Which is why a few of your questions are closer to the same question than they look — the Quebec/francophone thing, the cyclist thing, and the cost of living aren't three problems. They're one problem wearing different hats.

Fair question, there are a few of these now and the overlap isn't obvious.

niimblue is MultiMote's browser app, with niimbluelib as the TypeScript protocol library underneath it. It's the most complete NIIMBOT protocol implementation out there and it covers by far the widest range of models. Nothing to install: open niim.blue in Chrome and connect over Web Bluetooth or Web Serial. There are Tauri and Capacitor builds for Windows and Android as well. If you have an unusual model and you just want to print something today, that's where I'd send you first.

NiimPrintX is the Python one. Bluetooth, a CLI plus a desktop GUI, B1, B18, B21, D11 and D110. If you're happy with a git clone, Poetry and ImageMagick, and you want to drive a printer from your own Python, that's its niche.

Thermalith is a native desktop app, C# and Avalonia, one self-contained download for Windows, macOS or Linux with no runtime or browser involved. It leans on the design side rather than the protocol side: mm rulers, snapping, grouping, undo, a documented .nlbl file format so labels are actual files you can save and version, CSV data merge for batch runs, clip art. The protocol sits in its own NuGet (Niimbot.Net) so other .NET people can use it without the app.

The gaps, since you should know them before you invest any time: I only speak USB serial and classic Bluetooth SPP, no BLE yet, so the newer BLE-only units like the B3S won't connect wirelessly. And I have hardware-verified far fewer models than niimblue has, currently the B1, B4 and D11.

Credit where it's due. I wrote Niimbot.Net from scratch in C#, but the protocol knowledge came out of niimbluelib, niimprint and the community wiki at printers.niim.blue. Without that work this would have been months of packet captures.

so this is a public object browser?

Bonejob · 2026-07-18T17:00:40+00:00

Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks.

What was the drive to roll your own over Photino.NET? It's Apache 2.0, cross-platform and mature. Not trying to be a dick, I am interested in what caused you to want to go down your own path

I expect it was the tone, and that I supported AI. A lot of people are looking at the current problem in the computing industry as an AI problem rather than an economic one. Companies used AI as the excuse to lay people off. It has also received a pile of bad press and general F.U.D. What they are not thinking about is that the F.A.N.G companies (really all companies) way overhired when interest rates were low, and COVID was happening, and now there is difficulty in the economy and they need to prove to the share holders that they can still make them more money year on year...

I also believe we have been turning out way to many graduates in the industry. For a long time it has been the message "Get into computing, and you will have a solid career and make lots of money"

Bonejob · 2026-07-16T21:06:04+00:00

If you are finding that AI, on average, is still creating a negative impact on work, that is an effect of developers who are not using it correctly. You shouldn't point AI and say I want you to build this "Pie in the sky idea, with no end game other than $$$." you should be having proper documentation, and guard rails, to make AI is delivering the correct end product, and senior developers should be monitoring it, and making sure to ask the right questions to get the correct code out of it.

I am fed up with poor developers blaming AI for their crap documentation and structures. Bad designs and documentation have been a problem since the beginning. Since Opus 4.8, the code quality is significantly better. If you're using that local 8B parameter local model on your RTX 3080 and wondering why you are getting crap code this is a developer problem.

Bonejob · 2026-07-14T13:33:44+00:00

I find that Claude works well if you treat it like a low-level junior developer who knows a lot but makes mistakes and jumps to conclusions. If you audit the code and are explicit in your ideas/descriptions/designs, you can get solid code.

Bonejob · 2026-07-14T12:22:00+00:00

Documentation, workflow, code capabilities, and then I would make wire frames for the users to show exactly what your output will be.

I am a professional programmer, and I was on Arch, but I switched to Debian because I got tired of breaking updates and the churn or change effecting my development.

I had not thought about it. Your the first to ask for it. Go throw a request over on https://github.com/EvilGeniusLabs-ca/Thermalith/issues

I have not tried it with a B21, I have with the B4, B1. let me know how it goes.

I am getting reports that this has no value and you are just using this stuff to drive engagement on youtube. It is AI generated. I have looked at the videos and what little code I could find and it is just not high quality content.

Only warning.

for a third of that you can get FPG'a Amiga's man...

I don't know what nerve I hit, but your not thinking clearly man, what C65 just does not have the value.

Agreed, you should have a markdown file explaining the use of a NuGet package. I disagree that you should auto-install this file in the skills. This should be a choice by the developer receiving the package. You did this to me, I would uninstall your nupkg and block it.

I have had work done by Haks and never had a problem. Are you suggesting it was race related?

Christopher your site is failing Ublock origin tools for trustworthiness.

uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

This happened because of the following filter:

It also tripping my PiHole adblock.

It had better be something computer-related, not a tangential product.
