  I never argued that. Only pointing out its decent into fascism. All bets are off at that point as to what will happen to its industries.

  They were a beneficial strategy. They made Trump and his buddies massive amounts of money from manipulating the stock market. They were even bragging about it after the fact.

  Oh, you meant for the country and its people… Nah, that was never the point. If they were thought out at all it was only how it benefits Trump and his buddies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best,

  That assumes America is still a democracy in 4 years. We are only a few months in and it is already not looking great.

  Of course it is opt in. Why would it not be? Microsoft have opted in automatically on your behalf. Soon you will only be able to opt in, for your convenience, as too many people were accidentally opting out. /s

  That’s what happens when you make it expensive to import anything and don’t have any domestic manufacturing for computer components.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Frills PCB Brings USB-C Power To The Breadboard⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a bit more expensive and complex. Looks like this is configured with a couple of resistors for 5v from USB which is simple to get and a voltage reg to drop down to 3v3 optionally. Full PD requires a chip and active negotiation for higher voltage levels. Though there are chips that do that it does increase the complexity and cost and soldering skills a bit. Might not be worth it if all you work on is 5v or 3v3.

  but doesn’t damages dessicant.

  As quickly*

  Some damage still occurs.

  Or the RFID chips on their spools.

  They do quite a lot of things that are fine atm but are gateways to giving them a huge amount of control if they every want to flip that switch - like if they get brought out or their investors start wanting to squeezing them for all they are worth.

  Sovol V8 is a nice printer, especially for its price. Based on the voran v2.4 but pre-assembled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably nothing. This is more steamdeck related stuff since the steamos is based on ArchLinux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Arch normally immediately updates to the latest version of every program

  This is not true though. Arch packages new program versions as soon as they can - for popular stuff this happens quickly but not everything updates quickly. And when they do publish a new package it goes to the testing repo for a short time before being promoted to the stable repos. If there is a problem with the package that they notice it will be held back until it can be solved. There is not a huge amount of testing that is done here as that is very time consuming and Arch do not have enough man power for this. But they also do not release much broken things at all. I have seen other distros like ubuntu cause far more havoc with a broken update then Arch ever has.
