It’s extremely difficult to have ethics while being involved in a capitalist system which is inherently unethical. Genuinely giving a damn and putting people ahead of profits is seen as a liability.

I’m sorry I don’t have any advice to give.

Because he’s my nephew. I care about him. He’s only in high school, he’s saving up for one, and I don’t want him to be disappointed/frustrated and waste his money on a crappy printer. If I can steer him away from bad printers and software, great!

I also don’t want him to be discouraged. He’s smart, talented, and basically I want him to kick ass everything he does (I know that’s unrealistic, but hey, that’s the uncle in me talking). Plus, being good at 3D printing will be a valuable skill.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

I’ve read the book several times, and seen the movie twice. The film is excellent, and captures the “feel” very well. Don’t worry about blasphemy. You gave the book a fair, honest chance (and while the story is widely praised, the writing is not. You aren’t alone).

No need to deny yourself a great film! I’m excited for the sequel!

My nephew wants to buy a 3D printer, and I’d like to warn him. I’m worried that I’m too ignorant to do it effectively, though.

What is a slicer? What is Cura?

Thanks in advance, folks!

Fuck you, Palworld, here comes Donald Duck with a shotgun.

This map is a good reminder of how insignificant international borders can be.

Raised by a dog… loves to play fetch… this is a dissertation just waiting to be written.

Good call on working from home. Insist on doing that until that goddam thing is out of your office. “Soon” is WAY too vague.

Thanks for the update!

Yay. Another fork.

I know that Microsoft 365 subscriptions are nothing new, but it’s really hitting me how depressing that business model is.

Read that title again without context. Let your imagination run wild for a second before your half-asleep brain processes that it’s about knitting.

Welcome to my world.

I bet they could get over that fence. They must not want it badly enough.

Beehaw isn’t reddit, where one can get away with being a horrible person as long as one doesn’t technically break the rules. The beehaw mods don’t tolerate Nazi bootlickers, even if they’re polite bootlickers.

Creating this thread won’t solve anything. If you have a question or concern, the beehaw mods are very open and easy to communicate with.

Brian Tingley, a licensed family counselor, challenged the constitutionality of the Washington State law in federal court, saying it violated his rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion.

“I have the speech rights to shout down and scold anyone, and the religious right to trample on the beliefs of others.”

I also love that his name is Tingley.

The angel on my shoulder says yes. The devil on my other says no. The devil is winning.

As soon as I saw the title, I was gonna say Maxis, too. I like how they called their games “software toys”.

Hell, whether you partake or not, it’s part of the process. Slang becomes part of the language if it’s good, and it doesn’t stick if enough people think it’s dumb. Keep doing what you’re doing!

I agree - sinophobia is hateful and irrational. I just don’t trust the CCP not to force the company to play along with their surveillance plans, ya know?

If anyone has any actual information, I’d appreciate it. Just based on the fact that it’s a Chinese automaker, though, I wouldn’t expect privacy to be very high on their list of priorities.
