The funniest thing about this is that, according to a Gnome dev, they decided to not create APIs or anything and keep relying on extensions to monkey-patch code into the gnome-shell process to ensure "developer freedom".

It's completely mad. I uninstalled Gnome after it crashed on me multiple times, taking either my work or (once) my game process with it.

On KDE at least IF the shell crashes it doesn't cause all my programs to become unavailable too, I can save whatever I was doing. Its UI/UX is arguably a mess, but at least it god damn works reliably and doesn't come as barren wasteland with missing base features. I would love to love Gnome, but god damn it hell no.

It was, in fact, one of those tiny bearings.

Welp, it was one of the tiny ball bearings of the extruder gear axle.

UPDATE:

It apparently was a damaged ball bearing. Upon opening the extruder once again I found some black grease littered around one of the tiny bearings that're supporting the extruder gear axle. Replacing them solved the issue, many hours of printing with no angry cicada in my printer anymore.

Would've never expected such a tiny thing to make this much ruckus.

That overprized trash gets flung into everyone's faces with ads constantly and is placed at eye level in optimal shelf locations so you see it first and can grab it the easiest. It's placed at the counters when you have to wait (in overpriced small / singular packages), and if the advertising machine detects you might be perceptible to being convinced into buying it (e.g. through analysis of your previous purchases collected by the payback program or store itself together with your social media posts showing you're sad or depressed) you'll receive tailored ads at the right moment via Smartphone, websites, Music streaming service and (soon) car infotainment + "smart" camera-enabled digital ad screens in public.

Don't blame people for being manipulated by the manipulation machine, none of us is safe against it. Our resources for full awareness are sucked dry and monetized until we're tired and defenseless; and at that point you can't blame anyone who just wants to buy something that makes them a littlr bit more happy and less tired. Of course everyone ultimately has free will, but in the dystopia we live in that free will requires phenomenal energy to truly act on.

Smash the system, not everyone else's desire to feel happy. 🙂

I'll validate your naps if you want. They are very good naps. You are good at napping.

Unrealistic. He isn't beaten or otherwise abused.

Don't want to patronize you or sth., your sleep quality will be seriously screwed up though…

The most impressive part of that is to do the dishes without waking up everbody.

In my defense, it was 3 AM.

Something I didn't see mentioned so far: have you checked if your nozzle is perhaps too old? I had filament curling upwards and creating blobs due to a nozzle being too old. Especially brass nozzles can wear out rather quickly if you use your printer regularly. If the filament would like to stick to the nozzle itself or move sideways (i.e. curling up when extruded) it rather quickly screws up prints.

Simplest way to check is of course to use other filament.

Don't take all this stuff too seriously, most of it is either performative content revenue farming or manipulation of public opinion by some actor. This ticks all boxes, could be anything; a person honestly that dense or deep into conspiracy theories isn't even the most likely one. Unfortunately neither is satire.
