  • I’m not sure if you’re intentionally being obtuse or you just didn’t actually read my original post above. Either way, I’ll invite you to take a second read.

  • Most laws are fairly easy to bypass. You can jaywalk all day, purchase illegal fireworks, drive your car at ridiculous speeds, etc.

    Should we just stop trying because some people choose to break the law?

    If even half of parents complied it would make it so very much easier to say no to social media for your own children. It would also provide a very tangible excuse for why you’re saying no.

  • I fundamentally agree that this would best be served by parents enforcing limits.

    However, my experience is that this kind of parenting is much much harder than people seem to understand.

    If you’re one of a small number of parents who choose to limit social media, in a sea of parents who don’t limit at all, your children end up socially excluded. They get made fun of and ostracized from the rest of the kids. Your parenting decision makes their daily life much, much harder than it should be.

    In practice, it means that as a parent there is no winning option. Or even really acceptable option.

    For maybe the first time in my life, I feel myself siding with the government restrictions option.

  • I would argue that the new answer is still bad.

    The search results were top notch before adding Brave, indicating to me that they aren’t really needed.

    “People complain about all of them” is probably a factual statement, which is why evaluating each source independently is valuable. I don’t think it justifies completely dismissing criticism.

  • It is indeed disappointing.

  • Some interesting moderation choices that suggest a lack of support for the LGTBQ+ community, a business partnership with Brave, and a really shitty take refusing to add help numbers for self-harm related searches.

    You can get the cliff notes of it from this post and comment to it: https://lemm.ee/comment/8016834

  • I’ve been using it as my primary for quite a while, it’s pretty awesome and the development pace is pretty good.

    I’m not really a fan of the lead guy, some of the comments he’s made on the forums are less than great, but the product is top notch.

  • Many, many of us are. The popular “America bad” narrative certainly makes it feel like you’re alone but you are definitely not.

  • Feels really bad to be a citizen of a country pumping money into the conflict but having no agency to change it.

  • Not gonna lie, I was torn on if the comment was serious or satirical lol

  • It’s a weird time to be alive, where people don’t seem to realize that you can criticize both sides of a conflict and not be a hypocrite.

  • I live by the “there are no heroes” philosophy myself. You can like some of what a person does while admitting that they are still flawed like the rest of us.

    Way too much of the tech industry culture is rooted in idol worship.

  • Thank you for validating my feelings here. I don’t know why we idolize this kind of behavior, but berating someone on a mailing list should not be acceptable, much less desirable.

  • I’m all in on helix, it has replaced emacs and vim for me quite handily.

  • Cue surf rock guitar solo

  • The A1 is 256x256x256, which is pretty generous for an out of the box printer.

    I personally use a Bambu P1S which has the same volume, and is larger than the Prusa MK3S I upgraded from.

    The A1S is definitely smaller but still capable. I started on a Prusa Mini which is similarly sized and it worked great for me for a year or so before I upgraded.

    Edit: I honestly would not start with a multi color unit. Wait a year and get some print experience under you first before you add that extra complexity.

  • The Bambu A1 (mini or full size) may be a good fit for you. Price point is there or below if you opt out of the multi color unit, and they are remarkably beginner friendly.

  • It was a happier time, I miss my atomic purple floppies.

    I rewrote that several times because I have the mind of a child, but atomic purple 3.5” was even worse so I give up and you get to enjoy both.
