  • I'd say it's more butterfly effect than Rube Goldberg. A Rube Goldberg would be engineered with the intent and goal of shooting and killing you. Anyone who has made one can attest to the time and effort and focus needed to get it to accomplish its goal (which in this case is killing you).

    Gates' actions are not intended to kill you. Just to make himself rich. You are just collateral damage.

    I mean it's still about as moral as burning down the Amazon rainforest to make some money, but Bill Gates isn't setting out with the goal to murder you specifically. Unless you slept with his wife or something.

  • The best laser printer is a Brother laser printer from 10+ years ago before the cartridge subscription bullshit.

    I landed one for $5 on Craiglist and have it connected through a CUPS server so I still have the modern ability to print from any device on the network.

  • There's too much to be concerned about at this point that it's a waste of time to keep following what's happening. We can just assume literally the worst and it's likely to be true.

  • Wow you must have a huge lack of reading comprehension or an overactive imagination. I don't see anything about Palestine in my post.

  • I wasn't saying the person you mentioned doesn't exist or got banned. I'm saying you're putting words into my mouth I never said, pretty blatantly. Though I feel you focusing on this other dude who got banned that isn't even a part of this conversation and Gaza which I never mentioned is just more deflection on your part.

  • They are only big by number because they are some of the oldest instances. So they have a lot of inactive accounts and communities. The number of actually active users is less than .world or .ee.

    They only seem more active because they are terminally online and have communities that are specifically designed to brigade threads when they don't like what's posted.

  • Let me guess, -proceeds to make up some bullshit nobody ever said-

    How like a tankie to decide someone else's argument for them since you'd rather argue against a strawman than actually be concerned about the facts.

  • Elon Musk made electric cars popular. Nazi scientists developed rocket technology. That's all fine and good, but I'm still not going to give them my money.

  • They're communists transphobic, class reductionists, support Russian invasion of Ukraine, support Uyghur genocide, support N. Korean dictators, worked hard to ensure Republicans won US elections, run an instance where they act like the authoritarian dictators they love and ban everyone who disagrees with them even slightly for being "liberals" 😱

    FTFY

  • Just like with Elon Musk, if someone wants people to support them monetarily, they shouldn't work hard to make themselves objectionable to wide swaths of the population they are trying to extract money from.

  • I kinda a feel bad for the last pope. After his death he might have imagined people talking about his work and deeds. Instead, asshats are using AI to photoshop pope hats on the heads of idiots.

  • This was a very confusing headline. It sounded like they were charging a dead person.

    Bottom line is:

    1. 18 year old gets shot by police
    2. The father of the 18 year old hit and killed a deputy with his car later on.
  • Even if you are creating a display piece and not something functional, it's something you are making for yourself, and a limited number of them. You aren't mass producing Funko Pops of which millions will end up in a land fill.

  • As long as you can take at least one fascist down with you, it may be worth it.

  • What each individual defines as garbage is up to them. I'm certain there are very very few people who are literally printing garbage on purpose with their 3D printers.

    And again the scale of waste is like 2 trillion to 1 comparing corporations to independent hobbyists 3D printing parts.

    Being able to 3D print also allows one to repair things that otherwise would just have to be tossed in a landfill because some critical plastic piece broke.

    And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.

    Taking offense at people who 3D print for being bad for the environment is just concern trolling at this point.

  • If you think you may be arrested by the Gestapo, but booby traps around your house and a rifle next to the door as well as cameras all over your property.

  • Thank you for explaining Dr. Snowcone.
