I guess that’s what Gibson meant about the future not being evenly distributed. As also a millennial (and an older one, at that) I got all my porn from the Internet when I was that age, albeit having to wait for individual images to load at 56kbps at first.
You can imagine how excited I was for my household to get DSL, LOL!
I understand that; I was “yes, and”-ing you by making the opposite point about how the ICE raid stopped the construction.
Trump’s fascist policies can’t bring prosperity to the US, but they sure as fuck can drive it away!
TL;DR: they’re infecting it with (even more) proprietary garbage, which is a slap in the face to a community built on the ethos of the RepRap project. Everything in hobbyist 3D printing – the software, the firmware, and the hardware – is built on open-source designs, and Bambu’s attitude is to take all that and then not give back.
“Better answer” means “enforce antitrust and consumer protection law to punish corporations for attempting to usurp device owners’ property rights.”
It’s not about preventing sideloading installing software in the normal way1 by someone determined to do it.
It’s about spreading FUD and propaganda demonizing the idea of device owners actually having control over their property instead of abdicating their rights and ceding their privacy to technofeudal overlords like Google.
1 because “sideloading” is itself already a propaganda term
This is what safe words are for.
Did I stutter?
The entire core concept is judicial malpractice!
The trouble with zsh is that it’s permissive-licensed, which makes it strictly inferior to GPLv3 bash no matter what other features it might have.
Then you get absolutely fucked over anyway because we live in a society and other people will still tune in to the propaganda. It has to be stopped; ignoring it doesn’t fucking work.
ZERO car manufacturers are moving their factories from overseas to the US.
Well, Hyundai was, until ICE viscerally demonstrated what a stupid idea that was!
How fucking hard is it to listen to what the voters say they want?
It’s in direct opposition to the strings attached to large donors’ bribes, so it’s very fucking hard indeed.
There are many aspects of reality that MAGAts refuse to admit to themselves but understand on a subconscious level. That’s why they’re now making the military MAGA via leadership purges and actions like this.
and he cannot be questioned
Literally judicial malpractice.
and hasn’t done anything at all to help causes Kirk opposed
Why the fuck would it? It wasn’t intended to in the first place!
I’m starting to feel like I’m taking crazy pills, seeing so many people who should know better act as if the assassination was somehow intended to be for the benefit of the left even though it was a right-wing nutjob who did it.
political assassinations just happening left and right (in both senses)
They’re not, though. They’re literally only happening by the right.
The main problem is that people want relatively cheap stuff, and that cheap stuff is made with cheap parts that don’t last as long.
That’s a problem, but these days the new problem is that even the expensive stuff is often still cheaply made and just dressed up with “premium” features and styling (that’s also cheap to implement, but artificially withheld from the lower-end models to punish people who pay less).
You can absolutely still get reliable appliances that are cheap to repair.
If you look hard enough, yes, but the other issue is that the shit I described above sells for the same price as quality but costs less to make, which means the glorified trash is more profitable. Even when companies care about their long-term reputation and don’t succumb to that pressure to enshittify, they’ll be out-competed by those that do and eventually go bankrupt or get bought out by private equity and forced to do it anyway. The market is littered with examples of companies that had great reputations for “buy it for life” products, until all of a sudden they didn’t anymore.
The reason people say Samsung sucks isn’t because they’re bad at statistics, it’s because they can look at the blatant planned obsolescence.
For example, the “spider arm” on Samsung washers is deliberately made from the wrong metal so it literally disintegrates due to corrosion and breaks into pieces after a few years (i.e. shortly after the warranty ends), even as every single other metal component in the damn thing is made out of stainless steel and remains pristine.
That’s not my picture, but that’s what happened to my washer. I took it apart and saw for myself. And it’s not random bad luck, either; it’s designed into the product for it to fail that way.
So that’s why when some of us say we know for a fact that Samsung is shit, WE KNOW FOR A FACT that Samsung is shit, and we can demonstrate exactly WHY Samsung is shit. So don’t fucking tell us our experience is “limited” and “biased!”
Let this be an object lesson to everyone who thinks they’ll be spared because they aren’t radical enough.
3D printers are not exempt form marketing
Case in point: Bambu and Autodesk sponsoring every maker Youtuber. (Fuck both Bambu and Autodesk, BTW.)
What the fuck do we have to do to stop Democrats from complying with fascism? Start sending them death threats?
