- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 1 week ago:
Besides the others that were mentioned, Prusa is moving away from open source.
- Comment on Hate crimes 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.
- Comment on Medical Device Company Tells Hospitals They're No Longer Allowed to Fix Machine That Costs Six Figures 2 months ago:
From what I understand, this is common among larger med tech companies like Fisher and Beckman. I’m not trying to justify it, but I’m also not sure it’s newsworthy.
- Comment on Suspect freed from custody over suicide capsule death in Switzerland 3 months ago:
The article says Switzerland’s Interior Minister announced that the suicide capsule is illegal, so that would explain the arrest. I guess they’ll make their arguments in court for why the assisted suicide law doesn’t protect it.

Yeah, that’s why you mix it with raw milk.

OK, but pasteurization doesn’t sterilize it either. Also, OP was making a joke…

- Comment on Domain instead of ip in Wireguard 4 months ago:
LetsEncrypt is a good option if you want to set it up yourself. More work than cloudflare though.
- Comment on Just started printing with ABS.... 4 months ago:
IMO there’s no “best” material, they all have advantages and disadvantages. PLA is very rigid, PETG is UV and temperature resistant, ABS is temperature resistant and dissolves in acetone… ABS is tricky to print though, even with an enclosure. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you need the higher temperature resistance or like to tinker.
- Comment on Digital Homeownership 4 months ago:
And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 months ago:
Maybe take a break from the doomscolling/doomposting and try to relax.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 months ago:
Because superconductors are even more expensive than breeder reactors.

- Comment on UK needs cyber security professionals, but won't pay up 5 months ago:
Only 4x? Not sure what UK rates are like, but it could easily be 10x that in the US.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 5 months ago:
Wouldn’t mind if they keep lowering power consumption…
- Comment on The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books 5 months ago:
I didn’t say their point wasn’t valid, I just thought their reading comprehension was ironic.
- Comment on The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books 5 months ago:
The article is about a course that’s required for all freshmen, not just lit majors. Here’s the first sentence of the article:
Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities, Columbia University’s required great-books course, since 1998.
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 5 months ago:
It could - if a woman has a child with her own son.
- Comment on CNC Kitchen – What is the best way to dry your desiccant? (microwave) 5 months ago:
That’s what I do, never noticed the balls exploding. It takes about 20 minutes, but that’s the microwave’s time, not mine.
- Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed 5 months ago:
I’m not a CPA, but I don’t think you can write off something that already made a profit. How would that even work, if companies were able to write off predicted ad revenue? They could make up any value and never have to pay any taxes at all.
I don’t think write-offs have anything to do with them removing these episodes.
- Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed 5 months ago:
I don’t think they can write it off either way, though. It only makes sense to write off shows that haven’t made money. It’s just “retiring” when you’re taking about something that’s already been released. There’s no ulterior profit motive, unlike when they write off unreleased movies and shows.
- Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed 5 months ago:
What does this have to do with write-offs? I don’t think they can write off episodes of South Park and the daily show that have already aired.
