The proactive part is when they shut your account down and report it to the cops but yeah, the cooperating with interpol by providing data that they claimed they didn’t keep is damning.

They’ve been cooperating with law enforcement and handing data to the cops proactively since 2021.

Pay attention.

The writing was on the wall for proton for a while now

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

You do realize it’s content like this that gets anarchism made fun of right?

Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.

I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

Nah he was accurately pointing out what he enjoyed more, and that realization is important.

If your hobby is printers not printing then you should look into kits and more interesting designs. Build a voron or a ratrig - not a Mk4.

If you want to print above all else that’s not the right way to do it.

If you wanna do both that’s also totally valid - but there are 2 different hobbies in 3d printing. There’s a printer hobby and a printing hobby. Some people like only one. Some like both.

I lean heavily printing not printer. I have a buddy who pushes for sub 10 benchy and doesn’t really do much else besides novelty prints.

That’s not a printer hobby then, it’s just a cheaper but more time intensive way to get to a printing hobby.

If you enjoyed the process all the better.

Not everyone has the cash to shell out for a Prusa or Bambu - getting an ender and upgrading it can represent 50+ hours of work but $400+ in savings.

They don’t even have a different God, unless you’re talking Mammon.

All Abrahamic religions have the same god. Allah = Yahweh = God.

Tbh it sounds like the core one is a good choice here. Look at tinkering as something you use the printer to do and less as something to do to the printer itself.

I’ve got 2 prusas and while the XL has required a bit more work than my mk3s+ they both are excellent machines that I’ve run for thousands of hours with very little effort.

Welcome to the hobby! CAD modeling is the absolute best way to make your printer useful. A good pair of calipers are all you need to solve myriad issues around the house.

My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn’t had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to…

26 is old enough to feel like you’ve lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.

Unfortunately they walled garden themselves pretty universally. I’ve been on Tidal since Spotify fired all those people and have been really enjoying it.

Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like their recommended music is also way better.

This is happening because Spotify laid off half it’s staff and thought it could get away with it.

Hachette is one of the Big 5 publishers at 10% market share. Penguin Random house (25%), HarperCollins (11%) and Wiley (not big 5 but still ~10%) were also in the suit.

Hachette, Penguin and HarperCollins are basically half of all books that come out.

This is exactly why usage analytics are important metrics…

Power over Ethernet is a helluva drug
