Based on its name, I have to assume the EU Data Act only applies in the EU. So this will still be an issue for anyone who doesn’t live in the EU.

They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.

Have you seen what he posts on Twitter?

Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 week ago:
That’s not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn’t matter if your didn’t even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.
- Comment on OpenAI abandons plan to become a for-profit company 1 week ago:
The billions of dollars the company raised in its last two funding rounds were contingent on successfully removing this limit on investor returns.
- Comment on OpenAI abandons plan to become a for-profit company 1 week ago:
No, those were the terms when the company was “for profit.” Now that they’re “nonprofit” the investors can make unlimited profit.

- Comment on Until now I thought drying filament wasn't that important 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good way to keep filament dry, but it takes a very long time to remove moisture from filament that way. It’s a lot faster to use a dryer/dehydrator before putting it in the dry box.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 weeks ago:
No, this is fake. You can put whatever you want in the envelope and send it back, but they won’t deliver a whole package. They only prepaid postage for a letter.
Of course if you send something dangerous/threatening you might get arrested.

Oh, he did it to another cop. Now I see why he was fired.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, obviously they’re for communicating with other drivers, what gave you the impression I meant otherwise? I was responding to this in your last post:
Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? […] You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.
There are a lot of times where it makes sense to wait for a gap in traffic, rather than asking people to let you merge. And in those situations you would check for space before turning on your signal. You should still use your signal, even if you know you already have space to merge.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 weeks ago:
Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.
It’s really the country you’re based in that matters the most.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 3 weeks ago:
LA has infamously bad drivers. In many parts of the country people will slow down and give you space to move over when you have your signal on. They’ll also do a proper zipper merge in a lot of places.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 3 weeks ago:
Yep. If I know there aren’t any other cars within a quarter mile of me then the turn signal is just a formality. At best it tells other drivers the lane change was intentional, at worst it’s a (miniscule) waste of time and energy.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 3 weeks ago:
That only makes sense if you’re driving on a busy road. If seems like half of the commenters here only drive during rush hour, and the other half only drive on rural roads.
If there isn’t much traffic it makes a lot of sense to wait until you have an opening and then turn on your signal, instead of turning it on before checking for a gap.
- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 4 weeks ago:
Non-tarrif taxes would apply equally to foreign and domestic goods and can be ignored when comparing prices.

You also don’t need a 16h plane flight to travel. It can be MUCH cheaper, and shorter.

You don’t have to leave the continent, just getting away for a day or two can do wonders.

- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 1 month 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 month ago:
Besides the others that were mentioned, Prusa is moving away from open source.

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.

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 5 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.

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.... 5 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.
