What I'd love to see even more than that is some kind of pigment cartridge system. You'd use natural, unpigmented filament and the printer would inject pigment in different mixtures as it prints. Just seems... I dunno. More efficient?

I remember seeing a YouTube video (that I might search for and find again if I remember) where some company had developed (and probably patented) an approach that involved inkjet-coloring as it printed. I remember the colors looked pretty pale and washed-out looking. Not vibrant the way I would have hoped. But the approach might be one that could be improved on. 🤷

I was super confused there for a minute. Lol.

Exactly! Until I decide to do another SQL injection to change the response to "with tabs shalt thou indent thine code and never with spaces" or "I hereby decree dogs rule and cats drool."

I still haven't finished 100 percenting Spiderman 2 (2004) and I've only got 10 years to go before I'm 50.

Back when Hasbro didn't seem as evil. Simpler times.

Mindfulness. Note your behaviors. Note what leads to your behaviors. It'll give you insight into what in your life and in your mind leads to "kind" actions as well as what leads to "unkind" actions, which is a huge part of the effort to become more kind.

The longer the bubble continues to grow and the bigger it is when it pops, the worse the crash/deflation will be, which is why I say I hope it comes "soon".

I guess that and so that I can stop having LLMs forced on me.

Oh, and "deflation means you have less money" is a bit overly simplistic. If you're living hand-to-mouth and don't have a lot of debt, deflation can actually be a net good thing because a paycheck in the future can buy more than a paycheck of the same size today.

I'm in the U.S. if you're curious.

I have used vibe coding

You really need to take what I'm about to say seriously and not dismiss it offhand.

It's possible this is AI psychosis. Don't use AI any more. At all. It's fucking with your mind. Also recommended: seek help. This is not meant as an insult. I'm really concerned for your mental health. You need to reach out to a professional.

I hope it comes soon.

It's the best Democrats can hope for in Missour-uh.

Apparently Trump saw the "The Secret Handshake" browser game and decided it couldn't go unanswered.

That's epic!

Questions for you:

What material did you print it out of? (PLA, ABS, etc.)
And have you had any trouble with warping or softening due to the heat generated by the laptop and/or hard drives?

If you're trying to persuade people that your take is more reasonable than official stories in UK media, perhaps you'd have more luck by acting... you know... reasonable?

My first gut reaction is to say "zero. Not a god damned single solitary second. If you want to own a story or a song or whatever, keep it the fuck in your head you fucking moron what the fuck is wrong with you?"

And my only hesitation to say that is: copyleft isn't so easy to accomplish without copyright. Particularly, without copyright, the way the GPL does the whole "source code provision" thing falls apart. Without said provision, OpenWRT wouldn't exist. And for the existence of the source code provision, with a little luck we'll have FOSS OS distributions for smart TVs sometime in the foreseeable future. And hopefully that same court case will spawn a proliferation of other "OpenWRT but for

" projects. That actually work.

It might not actually be impossible to do a "source code provision" without copyright. It'd probably involve some kind of NDA with "source code provision" kind of conditions, though. And if you allow for NDAs on stuff in place of copyright and every game or book you buy forces you to agree to an NDA... is that actually better than copyright? It's probably worse.

So, I think even given all the above, my answer is still "zero". But aside from that, I also hold the opinion that we should have legislation which makes for a "source code provision" on "all software" (for some definitions of "all". In practice I could see it being difficult for companies to comply with that with regard to software made well before the law was passed, for instance. For instance software for which the source code is now lost.)

Beyond that, I'll say that I believe in a right to attribution, which feels a little more like a trademark-y kind of thing than copyright. Rather than artificial scarcity, let's "promote the progress of... useful arts" (quote from the U.S. Constitution) by helping creators cash in on their reputations. That plus physical products (collectors editions, swag, etc), unique experiences (live shows, theme parks, etc), authenticity (if you get it from the creator, you know you're getting the real canon and not someone's fanfic), quality... that sort of thing. Don't believe the big-copyright industries when they say they'll go out of business without the outdated and ruthlessly abused model of promoting culture that is copyright. They'll largely have to pivot into business models that don't depend on government-granted monopolies. But that's a good thing.

Plus, consider your favorite individual creators. Most of them don't make money really on what they do at all. And for the ones that do, would you really put less money toward their creative efforts if copyright didn't exist than you do now? I support my favorite small creator on Patreon. (Don't get me wrong. I'm concerned about the chokepoint that Patreon has at the moment, but I like the "patron" model for supporting artists better than copyright.)

Anyway. Go watch "Steal This Film" or "Good Copy Bad Copy" or something.

I just love a cool refreshing glass of glowstick on a hot summer day.

I hate that these days I have to go dig through people's history to see whether something is slop or whether I should upvote it, but I'm delighted to say it appears this project doesn't use LLMs. Cheers, OP.

Oh look. They did another fascism.

If you don't have a CR touch on one or both of those, you desperately need to get one (or you're unlikely to be able to use more than a tiny little spot in the middle of the bed without massive adhesion issues). And getting a CR touch will probably require upgrading the motherboard on your v1.

USB A extension cables exist and work very well, so I'm not saying this is justified, but...

My guess for the rationale behind the explicit ban on female USB A cables in the spec is that signals degrade over distance and they didn't want to try to go to the extra work to make USB host and guest devices hardy enough against noise in the signal to work reliably even in the presence of extension cables.

Apparently USB host/guest devices are hardy enough against noise to handle extension cables just fine. But I'm thinking that wasn't planned to be the case by the authors of the spec. Perhaps most USB host/guest devices exceed the spec in at least that particular regard.

Clearly not all female USB A ports are banned by the spec. Female ports on USB host devices, of course, would have to be allowed or USB would be useless. Given that, I'm guessing an active (powered) extension could be strictly compliant with the spec. (Think of it as a one-port USB hub.)
