  So sick of people treating “white” as a racial group. I’m presumably about as white as you get (my father was adopted so no idea about his ancestry, but his bio mother appeared pretty damned white). I don’t identify with any of these little, insignificant man-children who are desperate for their hatefulness to make their lives just a little more important.

  Plus if they could pull their heads out of their arses for a couple of minutes they would clearly see their grievances would be better directed along class lines, would make a far bigger difference in their lives than trying to pretend anyone with skin darker than weak custard is somehow oppressing them.

  I especially liked this section from the ABC news story ( www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-17/…/106018130 ) about this dickhead:

  When ABC NEWS Verify asked Mr Gruter about the bracelet, and other matters, he responded: “Since when is it a crime to love and advocate for your own people?”

  If he is so passionate about his own people, maybe he will get a warmer reception when he fucks off back to South Africa to rejoin them. Somehow I doubt it though.

  Think, if they started from the top they could retain talent and remove the easily replaceable dead wood. Based on the chairman apparently having a $1.1 billion net worth, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need any further income for instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crappy filament?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how my experience stacks up but I have been getting performance equivalent to the Bambu PETG out of the Elegoo I have been buying recently on my P1S. A little bit of stringing but that seems to have a lot to do with recent humidity as a pass through the filament dryer has been rectifying it. Just ran 2 rolls of the Red PETG Rapid through for my mates packout accessories, and before that I did a bunch of cleats for his tool wall in some Black PETG.

  Did a good enough job that he rather kindly bought his wife a P1S for her birthday when the Black Friday sales hit. She has turned that around and run the printer non-stop since it arrived and only about 40% of that has been prints for him. 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cornell Study Maps the Environmental Cost of AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So to maintain AI supremacy the US will now phase out all climate targets and begin the great AI vs Climate Collapse race.

  People around the world will be on tenterhooks as they see AI get out to an early lead as politicians fire anyone who can call out the ever so subtle “Unprecedented Events”.

  Gaze in wonder as climate strikes back by disrupting society with apocalyptic weather events to attempt supply chain disruption.

  Watch in rapt disgust as the AI instructs the puppet like mouth pieces to pay lip service to citizens while doubling down on supply and logistic support while restricting the publics access to the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Calls Anti-Tariff People 'Fools,' Promises $2K Dividends⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So I ask out of serious curiosity, when you say over regulation, are we talking safety, environmental, financial?

  I ask because the willingness of companies to pay workers in another country to engage in practices that are prohibited in the first country seems like corporate exploitation.

  If it’s due to environmental regulation that seems to be a case where often an environmentally friendlier way of performing a lot of processes exists, but it costs more money, so companies choose to exploit weaker regulation somewhere that hasn’t caught up to not poisoning the planet to benefit companies. Plus a lot of companies hate being told to clean up after themselves and would prefer to simply leave an area once they have extracted maximum value from it.

  As for financial, look, I am Australian, here we have historically benefitted from a strong labour movement that has granted us livable wages, paid sick leave etc, however our rich people are doing everything in their power to roll back and undermine that.

  In each case the problem seems in my opinion to revolve around a class of extremely wealthy shitheels who want to make all the money and they will take the path of least resistance to make that happen. Perhaps, Internationally we need to view the existence of billionaires as a critical failure of our systems and either legislate to prevent them from occurring, or find some way to drastically increase the hazard levels associated with trying to gather that much wealth in the first place.

  I personally doubt that Tariffs will meaningfully change the manufacturing landscape internationally, I think Trump tanking the US economy will however increase desperation and lead US citizens to compromise on the conditions they will work under, in effect lowering the expectations of US workers to the point they will be willing to compete with off shore workers.

  I’ve been seeing these things on the Google News feed on my phone I keep disabling that keeps getting re-enabled for some mysterious reason. It’s literally gotten to the point lately that if something is presented as a fact by google I automatically disbelieve it. What really concerns me is the people who don’t take that stance.

  Anyone using a Version Control system to do 3d design work, if I was smart I would be using this for the stuff I design to 3d print. But I’m not so I just have directories full of STL and 3MF files with occasionally somewhat descriptive names. Oh or 3d artists working on games, videos etc. People who are doing architectural design? Just people with other random interests? I suck at staying organised but I gave Forgejo a go and as long as you follow the getting started guide and keep it on an internal network its pretty straightforward to get started, complexity goes up if you are wanting to use it externally or in more co.plicated scenarios I believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Nothing' done to address gaps created by teen social media ban, says children's commissioner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having worked with confidential data for a cohort that included people with Protection orders we had it drilled into us that any mistakes could (and had) cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars to remediate and that was with super specific tailored contracts to cover every contingency that the company had encountered in the past. That was 20 years ago. I can’t imagine those costs have diminished since then… The companies willingness to do everything to stay out of court and out of the headlines may have though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Nothing' done to address gaps created by teen social media ban, says children's commissioner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As if any of this is about protecting children. At best that will be a side effect of the ban. It’s mainly about linking an ID to as much online activity as possible.

  Discussions with the office of my representative showed that they are treating all the issues that will arise from this as secondary. When I asked if tax payer money would be used to redress the absolutely inevitable data breaches when they happen I was told the eSafety Commissioner has the power to bring legal action against companies that don’t implement best practise with regards to data security.

  I asked where best practise was codified in legal terms and was then told that the government has published guidelines that state data gathered should be limited in scope and secured in a safe manner. In other words we are putting the horse so far in front of the cart it’s as though the horse is still in the stable.

  When I asked about penalties I was told that companies could be fined up to 850k per offense. However when I asked what was to stop a company that had just accidentally leaked say a million drivers licenses from simply closing shop and abandoning Australia to deal with the fallout rather than accept an multi trillion dollar fine I just got some limp hand-wavey statements about how companies would be compelled by the rules and regulations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes defective, maybe unlawful: what can be done about Australia’s crisis-ridden welfare system?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the biggest problem facing the welfare system is decades of the Australian public having the recipients demonized as dole bludgers by populist shitbags. Every time I point out to my father that we give far more money in corporate welfare than we invest into people who are down on their luck I get the same tired bootstraps rhetoric. Taking support for aged pensions and family tax supplements out of the equation the actual amount we offer as support to people who can’t get a job through disability or lack of opportunity is an insult. If we taxed corporate entities and people squatting on virtual dragon hordes of property correctly the landscape would change.

  Amateurs… here in Tassie we would just build between 3 and 6 stadiums with that sort of money. The hardest part would be finding enough hideously inconvenient spots that have insufficient infrastructure and potentially contaminated soil to site them. We know how to piss money we don’t have away on White Elephants down here.

That’s it people will henceforth only get one single email address assigned at birth that they will be forced to use for all online interactions henceforth.

  Nah it’ll be fine, our premier is going to push past commonsense and planning advice to get Hobart an eye sore white elephant stadium. That’ll be a valuable asset to house all the displaced people moving down here.

  Honestly if we can’t build houses to match the current trickle of people moving here how do they think we will go when it becomes a flood, plus the government takes decades to do any infrastructure work so even if we throw up some housing you better not want a road capable of handling the traffic flowing to it.

  Down here in Tassie we seem pretty well stocked for water as well. My family will likely be reining in our showers once it stops raining and the tanks are no longer covering our needs though. Right now the more we use the less strain it puts on our storm water drains. We might lean on the landlord to upgrade to a solar hot water system at some stage so our showers are closer to genuinely free.

  Sorry to come in a week later with a hot take.

  But something I think would be awesome, probably for GOG, would be for them to offer a backup service where they will put your GOG library onto M-Disc Blurays in 100Gb increments for a nominal fee, say $40 plus postage.

  For people who game preservation matters to it would be a solid statement. I doubt many of us can afford a salt mine to store the disks in but they are still about as long lived as you are going to get in a format that’s accessible for a home user (let’s be honest those disks will likely outlast the drives to read them with).

  For GOG the costs would be fairly minimal and since M-Disc is a pretty valid backup media they would gain that capability from a business perspective.

  Just something that sprang to mind while I was reading this thread.

  See I also think that there is something to be said about how there’s people still out there making new music, performing it, recording. But business has captured the market and is drowning out the smaller players. The signal to noise ratio gets so skewed that even if the best song you never heard is only a web search away you may never listen to it because your streaming service will never play it. But the soulless corporate remix of a remix of a cover of a song from the 80s, you hear that 4 times a day because they have a marketing budget and algorithmic influence.

  Maybe I am misreading your comment here, but I am going to take it on face value, I have never written a song. In an interesting note believe cutting pages out of a bunch of books and sticking them together in a new binding wouldn’t make a compelling read, I also have never written a novel.

  I seriously respect people who can write songs, I would imagine they have or had passion for the art. I seriously doubt any song writer is out there thinking "Holy fuck this song is amazing, I really hope some shithead producer crops the chorus and mashes it together with a bunch of other tracks to make it completely meaningless. That would make it perfect.’
