A lot of the posts I see in this community are satire, actually.

This is satire.

Who would they sell it to?

Thank you for your service. 🫡

Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context...

The US currently employs "volunteer" troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it's a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don't think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don't go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven't heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

What I consider a "better interface" is almost certainly not what a new user would consider a "better interface."

Mobile operating systems (Android, IOS) don't give the user enough freedom to understand how the system works, the best you can hope for is an understanding of how to use the technology. Knowing how technology works is very different from knowing how to use technology.

Your other post really makes it sound like you think people use GrapheneOS to hurt Google's business model.

GrapheneOS runs Google play services in a sandbox (rather than as a system level app) and randomizes the advertiser ID, IIRC.

People don't use GrapheneOS to avoid giving Google their money. They do it to protect their privacy.

Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won't boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.

Hard disagree. Prusas used to be completely open source. Now they merely have open source components. It isn't accurate to call them open source.

Would you call Windows or MacOS open source? Both Microsoft and Apple have made parts of their OS's open source, but that doesn't mean the entire product is open source.

Besides the others that were mentioned, Prusa is moving away from open source.

That's a new one, kids called it "paper view" when I was growing up. It's pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.

No, this was purely the pilot's fault, and they're employed by Southwest. The government cuts have affected ATC, but they aren't responsible for the pilots knowing the difference between a runway and a taxiway.

A dryer costs about as much as 2 rolls of cheap filament, and if you don't print very often then you'll probably waste more than 2 rolls to failed prints. A dry box with desiccant can also work, but it doesn't remove moisture efficiently - it just keeps things dry, so it won't recover your wet filament.

On the other hand, if the trick with the heated print bed is working for you, that's probably good enough. A cheap kitchen scale will tell you if it's removing moisture.

I think you meant "going to nightclubs as a white foreigner in Japan"
