- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 4 days ago:
I’d say that the nazi salute on live tv sealed the deal.
If it looks like a Nazi and squeak like a Nazi, it’s a fucking Nazi.

Who are you targeting with that message? Because what’s going on with the current US admin is straight out of the nazi playbook.
It feels like you are trying to get validation for your position.

Don’t sneeze right next to it with that kind of precision.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
I use it to generate a little function in a programming language I don’t know so that I can kickstart what I need to look for.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 1 week ago:
I swapped my nozzle for an after market one, changed the heatsink as well on my K1.
I haven’t changed the my mobo on it, but I know there is a m5p mobo that can be swapped.

K1C is open sourced as far as I can tell. But I am not sure what you are asking here?
Someone has created a custom firmware for the X1C, but that’s pretty much it.
K2 isn’t open sourced, but it can still be rooted and you can use Fluidd or mainsail.
So Creality sucks for not open sourcing the k2 firmware, but it’s not the same level of shittiness as Bambu Lab
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 1 week ago:
How is Creality equally proprietary? I can put mainsail or fluidd on the machine and use any slicer I so choose.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 2 weeks ago:
It forces you to be patient. You fit the bill

Pay to play baby! Let’s reinvent the banking system by doing the same exact shit.

IMO, GPU prices have an impact. Modern gaming has a bad habit of not optimizing games relying on people getting newer GPUs for performance.
Mix that with the pre-order/early access monetization, and we are to a point where games have made their money before release, and beans counters don’t want to put money in QA because there is no quantifiable ROI (there is a ROI, but it is hard to quantify), which is a no-no in their world.
Indie games have a tendancy to be less GPU demanding, and thus, usually have a better performance experience
- Comment on openscad is pretty great 3 weeks ago:
That’s a great point. OpenSCAD is lightweight and FOSS so it is a lot easier to share than Fusion360 for example
- Comment on openscad is pretty great 3 weeks ago:
You can do parametric design in other CAD software, but openscad, being a coding software, lends itself particularly well for that.
In my experience doing parametric design in Fusion360 is a lot more tedious than in OpenSCAD.
- Comment on What went wrong with Skype? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah and like anything getting big, here we are, Discord trying to go public and fuck everything over. The cow is fat enough to be milked then butchered until it’s nothing but bones and scraps.
- Comment on What went wrong with Skype? 4 weeks ago:
It’s so long ago that my memory might fail me. Skype didn’t need a hosted server and that made it accessible.
- Comment on What went wrong with Skype? 4 weeks ago:
Wasn’t Skype the best audio/video protocol at the time? Everything else around it was terrible, but I remember that skype was the only voice call software that worked well for me on shitty connection back in the day.
- Comment on Docker in LXC vs VM 4 weeks ago:
I split my docker containers so that I can selectively backup what I want easily on proxmox
For example, I am currently running an Abiotic Factor server that I don’t care to backup. So I just dont add the container to the backups and I am done.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 4 weeks ago:
My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.
I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.

Yeah, no nuances here.

The IT paradox :
- “Why am I paying you when everything works?”
- “Why am I paying you when everything has gone to shit?”
You are right that vaccines worked so well because mostly everyone had them, and mostly everyone has to take them for them to work.
Village idiots got a support system and crossed the threshold where the herd immunity has diminished enough for outbreaks in communities.

I wish they would have shown me the top picture 15 years ago, it makes so much sense.
- Comment on Life goals 1 month ago:
Why is it so weird? How is it any different than a pucket pussy or a vibrator?
People have sex. Lots of people, lots of sex and as much different way to have sex.
It’s a toy made specifically for sex. Nothing weird about it.
- Comment on Life goals 1 month ago:
People gotta stop being weird about sex.

That’s the best no context quote of the year so far.

The pinnacle of innovation if you ask me.
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 1 month ago:
Nothing stops people from mix matching backup media.
If I lose the series I downloaded versus my family photos, not the same impact.

She had 10 children, she knows her way around.

I guess RPGs are based in reality after all.
- Comment on 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care 2 months ago:
I have been working almost 4 years with my friend now and we have an open discourse on what is expected of each other, so the line is very clear between work and friendship.
I don’t plan on exiting in the next few years, but I have to have a plan if I need to get out.
These years have been eye opening on what I want in life. The freedom it provides has no price, and I agree with you that the job security is a lie. The moment the company doesn’t need you, you get fired and that’s that. There is uncertainty between contracts, but otherwise it is the same as a normal job except you make your hours.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.
