What’s the thought in your head that pops up next to your feelings in such a situation?
Mine is usually something along the line of “So that’s it, huh? Doesn’t feel so great after all”.

- Comment on Privacy is ‘the most valuable right of all’, says Signal’s president. 2 weeks ago:
OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:
To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.
However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 2 weeks ago:
IANAL. It’s the other way around: You do everything as required per your contract. If the company believes you owe them money for June, they will sue you if you don’t pay.
If trouble is on the horizon it is however advisable to contact an actual lawyer in advance to check your paperwork in case you missed anything.
- Comment on [Unsolved] Looking for assistance figuring out how to fix this connector. 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? You might not get the whole diagrams but maybe they are willing to help you out. Worst they can say is no.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 3 weeks ago:
Except, no employer will allow you to use your own AI model. Just like you can’t bring your own work equipment (which in many regards even is a good thing) companies will force you to use their specific type of AI for your work.

Uhm, I guess you missed the news when it was revealed that Deepseek had a little more backing than they claimed.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 3 weeks ago:
I like Copilot as an auto-complete feature. Its a total waste of energy in every other regard, though.

I.e. Deutsche Telekom tried to stop other companies from using magenta. However, the court ruled that DT can’t hold a patent on magenta as a whole, only their specific hue.

- It can be viewed as part of your privacy to not be subject to defamation.
- If it reaches the threshold of defamation it is punishable. Whether its enforcement is feasible is another matter.
- Comment on Please tell me I'm not going nuts 1 month ago:
I know it is reassuring to believe there is some form of higher power, be it religious or in your case some form of deep state waiting to spring into action but the simple through is: There is no one coming to save us from ourselves.
It sounds cliché but: Be the change you want to see. You don’t have to become the next Luigi or otherwise “give yourself to the cause” but simply do what is within your means. Help where you can readily do so and even if you have to participate in the system you can do so in the least efficient way possible.

- Comment on Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations 2 months ago:
0 F is defined as the lowest temperature a guy was able to reach with some random mixture which is arbitrary.
But 0 C is commonly defined as the point at which water turns from solid to liquid and the other way round. Scientifically it’s ever so slightly off but still it’s defined via Kelvin.

Do something about what exactly?
- Comment on ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online 2 months ago:
Doesn’t have to be Gitmo. I recommend reading Little Brother and according to one hacker, so does the NSA.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online 2 months ago:
Not that I am arguing for simply rolling over but:
Come screw with my first constitutional rite, and my iron clad citizenship.
When push comes to shove, they won’t give a flying fuck about a piece of paper that says they can’t do that. Just ask anyone who’s been to Gitmo on either side of the bars.

- Comment on What actually happens to the communities whose instances shut down? 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s because the owner of feddit.de disappeared during what we assume was a business trip to Asia. I still hope he found personal peace of mind in some remote Buddhist monastery but truth is we got no idea what happened.
Anyway, the instance broke down and even the Domain is now gone. feddit.org is the replacement.

Spontaneous ideas for troubleshooting:
- Disable the stepper motors, slide the head to the position it would be in when printing this section, and check for any irregularities in the rail or belt.
- Clean the hotend.
- Try to print the part again, see if there is damage at the same section.
