- Comment on 3D Printer Reviewers: Being honest in this industry will put you out of a job. 1 week ago:
This comment is more about FOSS than about 3D printing, but if you’re interested in GPL violations, you should know about the court case SFC v. Vizio. If it goes the way the SFC is pushing (and the courts have made a surprising amount of noises suggesting they’re broadly sympathetic to SFC’s arguments), ordinary end users will have a lot more leverage to push companies to honor the terms of the GPL and provide source code as required by the GPL. Every manufacturer of smart TVs, smartphones, game consoles – hell even robot vacuum cleaners, cars, and sex toys – if they include GPL’d code in those TVs, they’re required to provide source code to users on demand. As it is now, companies can (and do) flagrantly violate the “source code provision” requirement in the GPL. But this case could change that.

“TNPD” doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as “TACO”, but I’ll take it.
- Comment on Myminifactory buys thingiverse 3 weeks ago:
Is there consensus on who would be best to migrate your “things” to?
I’m guessing Printables?
I do more publishing than downloading. And I’m interested in one that’s in the spirit of FOSS. Friendly to permissive licenses. (Unfriendly to more proprietary licenses is a big plus IMO. I’m a fan of attribution and copyleft requirements. Noncommercial limitations, I’m relatively indifferent to.) Not enshittified and not likely to enshittify any time soon.

Jesus. I guess we’re going to have to start figuring out how to reverse engineer our keyboards so we can install QMK on random built-in laptop keyboards and cheap Logitech membrane keyboards to repair the damage Microsoft has done to them.

Check your spam folder. I don’t know that I’ve ever not received an email I was supposed to have received and found that the spam folder was actually the issue. But it’s still a good idea to check it in case that’s the whole issue.

Stratasys still has a patent on it
That’s putting it generously, isn’t it?
This video from a year ago goes into why the patent they have today isn’t valid. (Short answer: prior art. They patented it in 1995 and that expired in 2015 in the U.S. and 2016 in Europe. Then they re-patented it in 2020, which isn’t really something they can do, but the patent office granted it anyway, probably unaware of the prior patent. There’s kindof a “new claim” in the later patent, but there’s prior art for that as well in the form of a 2019 feature request on PrusaSlicer’s Github.)
I get that Stratasys has lawyers and money and might theoretically be able to win even a case with as little merit as a patent case regarding that 2020 patent would have. But I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say they have a (valid) patent.
