It’s flying around the L Ö M P

Everyone in Germany knew this Commission would be full of shit the moment Von Der Leyen was somehow cross-promoted to it (she’s from the famously corrupt conservative “Christian Democrats”, so it’s no wonder she was promoted after screwing things up). We dealt with her bullshit for years prior.

Just keep in mind PETG isn’t strictly UV resistant. A later reprint with ASA would be better.

“ASMR” fucking riles me up, I can’t understand how that stuff is supposed to be nice. The only desire I have listening to it is to smash my fucking speakers / headphones after a short while. Imagine someone holding stuff close to your ear making obnoxious sounds, same thing.

You’re missing the issue, unfortunately. What you say is technically correct, but as long as a minority id actively persecuted they have to be actively shown to be normal and nice people to, well, normalize their existence. And right now the evil people are winning, so it’s even more important to mention it. We’re as far away from trans being normalized like left-handedness as it gets.

I see why this might even annoys some, but it’s not trans people who want to be in this situation. We (yes, hello 👋) just want to fucking live our lifes in peace and happiness, without the constant (additional) fighting and fear for our life.

About Lemmy… well, it’s the current alternative to corporate media. It’s just natural that those who’re vilified and cast’ out are the first to arrive here, as well as their allies. 😉

The most trustworthy reviews are always those where the reviewers just bought the products.

So much this. One reason why there are so super few honest Bambu Lab reviews out there, they understood how to do PR through influencers and used their VC money to send thousands of devices everywhere for basically free (and keep doing so) to build an overly positive lifestyle image. Those few who do actual deep dives and get cut off from new free devices simply drown in the masses. Meanwhile their printers melt themselves and the A1 Mini apparently likes to catch fire.

Anycubic is a whole different beast, they’ve known to basically steal stuff for many years (like when they took Prusa’s first-gen MMU design and successfully patented a slightly different design). Shit like this is one of the reasons Prusa is meddling with new licenses in the first place.

Creality now went IPO and is blasting every corner of their products with AI. Elegoo also already broke licenses to close off their devices.

Pretty sure vendors like Snapmaker, Sovol or QIDI also have done a sufficient amount of shit.

Capitalism will always be a shitshow like this, and it’s annoying. Ethical or even lawful behaviour shouldn’t be something you have to be able to afford, it should be the fucking default because it’s made free and beneficial to everyone.

Refreshing rain > deadly laser

They’re extremely new and open about what’s missing though. Their plans apparently got somewhat thrown all over the place by the sudden extreme interest and quite a few things aren’t yet in place (such as the self-hosting guide). Still works surprisingly well, and what they do goes into the right direction (no VC funding or investors, removal of the CLA, bound to GDPR, a full FOSS atack, etc).

Element is still as buggy as ever, unfortunately…

The only realistic alternative I’ve found so far is Fluxer, and that one is still in Beta. Very promising though.

Is this some premium whataboutism lesson I don’t get?

Capitalism doesn’t breed enough innovation for new reasons. That’s why they need AI, to come up with new bullshit.

At this point it might not be the worst idea to bet against Nvidia or OpenAI, if you can do it at the perfect moment.
