I'm 100% on board with your instincts too, not just on this post but things I've noticed over the past several months.
It definitely feels like the recent PieFed promotion is about more than just growing their userbase. It seems like there's only a handful of individuals running everything over there, making clones of lemmy communities, and producing (admittedly good) content, and something feels off about all of it similar to that "uncanny valley" feeling.
I can't point to anything too specific, but my suspicion is that there may be something like a "hostile takeover" occurring like we've witnessed in countless subreddits. Some friendly new mod comes in and then 6 months later, every other mod winds up banned and "friendly mod's" associates move in to replace them before they all start pushing something like right-wing extremist content on everyone.
Those lurkers exist on both platforms so it seems reasonable to use active users even if those values may not reflect the total number of users for either platform.
Only on paper. In reality, the authors of the bill wrote that Trump and Bondi get to decide what to release and can withhold as much of the documents as they want under the guise of "national security." It was just more kayfabe.
Im genuinely confused by your reply. I wasn't referring to ladder climbers in a positive light. I see them shoehorning AI into pointless projects that dazzle the bosses because they don't know any better or because they want to dazzle their own bosses with more mumbo jumbo derived from their own reports.
What about all those ladder climbers who want to sound like they're tapped in to the pulse of cutting edge technology to the bosses? I work with engineers and it seems to be pretty split between full adoption and full rejection.
Can you check your local FB marketplace and Craigslist for similar printers? That'll probably give you the best idea of what they'd go for locally. That said $200CAD doesn’t seem terrible, but with everyone buying CoreXY machines these days, that drives the price of the old bed slingers down even further.
They'll do both just like they did in 2007/2008. These AI companies and their investors will get bailed out while the rest of us lose our jobs and have to move back in with our parents in the van they already live in.
I'd like to imagine some developer started designing the game by clicking on the wrong plane and by the time they figured it out, it was too late to go back.
What a convoluted horseshit accounting from Homeland Security. They claim this man saw them and had a mask at the ready to pull over his face as well as a getaway car that just happened to pull up the moment they tried to capture him?
As mentioned this is not easy to print. You might consider cutting the model into two pieces. From the shown orientation, I would do a planar cut just below the top surface, trying to capture those "screws" (I don't know what they're called, they tighten the strings) in the top cut and then flip the bottom section over so the spherical dome is printed like an upside down bowl. This should only require supports for the large piece at the top of the neck. In Bambu Studio (possibly OrcaSlicer) you can also add connector pieces for proper alignment when doing cuts too, but they may he unnecessary when gluing it back together.
Also for future reference, when you see models that only show 3D renderings and no actual finished print, you know you're in for some trouble. I try to avoid these at all costs.
If hes been living there more than 30 days, he has tenants right and legally you must allow him in the room as well an ensuring you're promptly feeding him breakfast at 5am, 6am, and 7am.
He co-released a video with 404Media on this new dystopian finding today as well.
