  • Not a major problem AND going after 3D printing doesn't actually solve the problem - the core components that make a gun a gun, such as the barrel, firing pin, etc., still need to be manufactured in the "traditional" way (unless you're trying to make a single use, one shot gun, but even that has better alternatives than 3D printing).

    As it's been pointed out above, the pieces of equipment - lathes, mills, CNC machines - required to make the aforementioned parts require no licencing, no safety mechanisms to prevent gun part manufacturing.

  • It's not really varnishing, it's more floor polishing :)

  • Yeah, I quite "love" this BS.

    On one hand, these tech megacorps are pushing for privacy violating measures to "protect the children"

    On the other hand they're literally profiting off child abuse and refuse to stop it. See e.g. Roblox refusing to deal with paedos because they were the highest paying customers...

  • The Chinese companies aren't even copying by doing the same stuff - they're copying models by using the American ones with very directed prompts to essentially distill, say, Fable 5, with just a few hundred thousand prompts, into a smaller, faster model.

    It's akin to running a bakery, having a super well selling product, and the competition rolling in and buying up 70-80% of your daily volume just to reverse the recipe, then they'll be selling an "improved" version at 10-20% the cost within a few weeks.

  • Wesley immediately got interested 🤔

  • What a load of bollocks.

    Nobody owes you anything, especially if it's a free service. And A/B testing is pretty much the only way to get reliable results on how a feature may shape user experience.

    Or would you rather companies just delivered features without any care how it affects users?

  • Also, that tail is sticking out in a dangerous way, I do not think the installation of this alligator is up to code.

  • As a software engineer I have to say... Nope, bugs must go.

  • I mean yeah, to some extent you're right.

    But it is also due to telemetrics being helpful in diagnosing issues before users even report them, measuring their business effects, or even doing A/B tests to see how a new feature may affect the user experience.

    Problem is that companies realised this info can also be used for other purposes - such as, datamining the users - to create another lucrative revenue source...

  • I also do not want to mount a network share with the same rights and constant syncing to 8+ devices...

    cloud storage actually makes sense if used right. It is obviously overpriced to urge people to buy the larger packages, and sadly there aren't many self hosted solutions that work as well as Google's and Apple's own (whether it be due to platform limitations on iOS or simply an oversight on the FOSS development side), but it's not as dumb as you're painting it.

    Fully agree with the rest.

  • Is the red paper necessary or can I just use regular printing paper? Maybe photo paper?

  • On one hand, no, they shouldn't, on the other hand they're free to voice their opinion and choose a different service if this is the breaking point.

    Problem is, it's hard to find a good VPN service that doesn't fuck with alt right chuds and isn't US based.

  • I can totally imagine that scene. What I can't decide is the theme music playing - would it be Mission Impossible or The Pink Panther? Or maybe Mr Bean?

  • Meanwhile an ice cream soda would cost you $10-15 most places.

    Yet again proof that inflation as a tracked percentage is BS because the powers that be always fuck with the calculation to make the end result look nicer.

  • Meanwhile child rapists get off with 90 days.

    Make it make sense.

  • An mSATA or small NVMe in a USB enclosure is the best way to go. No wasting a precious internal slot, and they can be super tiny (2230/2242 enclosures are dime a dozen).

  • Maybe in a year or so. My Deck still works fine, not in a rush to replace it. The Frame on the other hand, probably a day one purchase.

  • That would be a leftward bias, a person constantly turning slightly left - which is CCW.

    Turning right is clockwise.
