As labour are continuing tory crap. And have added nothing to it.

How can that be worse vs identicle.

As a potential victim of this shit. Please stop weakening the case with over grandiose claims of crap.

Only if those device makers are willing to use it. And that has always been the tightrope linux has walked.

Its very history as a x86 platform means it has needed to develop drivers where hardware providers did not care. So that code needed to run on closed hardware.

It was bloody rare in the early days that any manufacturer cared to help. And still today its a case of rare hardware that needs no non free firmware.

Free hardware is something I'll support. But it is stallman et als fight not the linux kernel developers. They started out having to deal with patented hardware before any one cared.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Vat meat is likely the long term future. IE lab grown but more efficient.

Vegonism will become more common. But is not going to be 100% or even close in time to have an effect. Or likely ever as that effect is its biggest sell atm.

But lab grown meat can manage and use CO2 where as its hard to do so with live animals.

But arible farming is still a huge user of CO2 and really not being pushed to cha ge rapidly. Cost is still seen as more important then green energy use.

proprietary

Well related to the owner is the very definition of proprietary. So as far as upstream vs not available for upstream is concerned. That is what the term is used for in linux.

So yep by its very definition while a manufacture is using a licence that other distributions cannot embed with their code. Marking it proprietary is how the linux kernal tree was designed to handle it.

EDIT: The confusion sorta comes from the whole history of IBM and the PC.

Huge amounts of PC hardware (and honestly all modern electronics) are protected by hardware patients. Its inbuilt into the very history of IBMs bios being reverse engineered in the 1980s.

So as Linux for all its huge hardware support base today. It was originally designed as a x86(IBM PC) compatible version of Unix.

As such when Stallman created GPL 3 in part as a way of trying to end hardware patients. Linux was forced to remain on GPL 2 simply because it is unable to exist under GPL 3 freedom orientated restrictions.

The proprietary title is not seen as an insult. But simply an indication that it is not in the control of the developers labelling it.

GPL3 has extra restrictions banning patients etc. So yeah a lot of GPL 2 code written by companies that open software but not hardware. Would have legal questions about running with GPL 3

GPL 3 was created to be more restrictive to non-open hardware.

The word restricted in the desc rather than the tittle BANNED.

Indicates it's not as banned as they want to suggest.

Of course, if it's really banned then great, it's well past time. But that switch in wording is carrying a lot of weight.

I'm not saying it's a good idea. I def would rather not have more nukes about if it can be avoided.

Just maybe not stupid. When you consider Ukraine was pretty much the home of the USSRs weapons tech, People there developed most of the nukes and the MIG aircraft. That is likely why in part Russia want it. The expertise is still very much there as we saw with Ukraine MIGs compared to Russia. They have been upgrading since the 90s.

I'd guess if any nation was able to throw this together as a MAD Like defence in time for trumps potential withdrawal. It would be these guys.

Also given how close to Moscow, They are. The tech would really only need to be 1945 level for Russia to recognise the risk of continuing.

Given the 96 deal was, Russia gets it nukes back in exchange for respecting Ukraine's borders.

Developing them may not be so stupid. Using them first, sure, stupid. As it is for any nation. But MAD was effective with Russia. While no nuke reprisal ability, clearly leads them not to give a shit about treaties they agrred to.

I think I even used Windows XP wallpapers on Linux for some time.

Well now I suddenly care.

Why the hell do you want to watch the world burn?

;)

No bodies business but the user what wallpaper they like.

I use images from the UK canal inferstructure where I spend much of my time.

If you're willing to tell me to do otherwise. My response is going to be short and rude.

cool. I agree with the self made.

Myself, my vision is now at the point glasses no longer help.

Chinese companies online will sell you real cheap glasses. With RX lenses. Like 10-15 a pair.

The frames are cheap crap. But the lenses normally adequate for anything not to specialised.

Seems Vance threatening tariffs to nations that limit musks political bull.

Has made the political corruption so obvious it can't be ignored.

Guessing. But if you did it at the hospital or with their equipment, yes.

In a home lab with your own equipment. Not so sure,

They said shell is guilty

Nope they said they had a responsibility. Not the same thing.

It basically translates to. Prior to this judgement no corperation could be held accountable for failing to meet climate targets. Now they can.

Post Office: Fujitsu boss 'does not want to admit' if Horizon is not reliable

I find knoowingbthe basics helps.

I use blender. Its not perfect for 3d modeling. But I knew it a little to start. Also easy to set up on linux.

But honeatly learning its scale odds. (Defaults 1m to mm) boolean modifiers and 3d print tools. (Allow testing for real world models and extra faces.)

Really is all i need to modify stls and make my own sruff.

These are the desiccant containers I am printing now, in PETG. Less pretty, but I think they are more functional.

Ok So I now have the 3d printer up and working. ( yeah, slow for obvious reasons )

Pics below.

Basically, I'm printing stuff for the printer to gain skills. PVA to start, I printed a Bowden tube adapter. Mainly so I can run filament directly from the dryer when using hygroscopic stuff. https://www.printables.com/model/983043-elegoo-neptune-4-pro-bowden-tube-spool-holder-moun

Also, printer a few of these desiccant holders. But in PLA they seem to shatter easy when tightening the lid. So I'm printing another design in PETG ATM

I need to add a vent to the tent pefore trying to play with Nylon. So thats my next task. Just need to workout something.
