- Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad. 1 week ago:
I’m going to throw the Prusa Core One into the ring:
The first thing you will probably notice compared to something like Bambu Labs printers is the price. Yes, it’s high. However, Prusa is doing a lot more than just building 3D Printers, they are also developing the slicer software PrusaSlicer which many, including Bambu Labs Slicer, are based on and make it available for free to anyone. Also, their customer support is top of the line.
Don’t let the fact that you assemble the printer from the ground up let you scare away. I am not exactly a precision engineer myself and got everything working flawlessly on my first try.

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say if they are solely an investment, then yes you are part of the problem. Because you expect a return on your investment and so inherently rent has to be increased to generate the necessary profits.
If you’d live in a house that has more room than you need and rent these out that’s fine in my book. But possession solely for profit is one of the main problems of our current economic system.

ChatGPT offered bomb recipes
So it probably read one of those publicly available manuals by the US military on improvised explosive devices (IEDs) which can even be found on Wikipedia?

Whether assisted suicide is legal depends on entirely on your jurisdiction.
Over here in Germany, assisted suicide is still a highly delicate matter from a legal perspective. Actively assisting in a suicide is straight up illegal, and even passively by just providing the means is at best in a gray zone. Despite our highest court having overturned the outright ban on assisted suicide, our various governments since this ruling have failed to pass any legislation on the matter.
As @vk6flab@lemmy.radio pointed out, there are so-called Advanced Health Directives, which in essence contains information for medical personnel on what to do in case you can’t communicate your will clearly anymore. Which i.e. can include that you do not want to be feed artificially and instead only request to ease the pain till death.
I would like to be a nurse for at the least the next ten years to help people.
Are you a nurse already? If so, you probably have access to a lot more and less traumatizing options to pass on than asking someone to shoot you.
Anyhow, I highly sympathize with your situation and hope that you still have many good and joyful days ahead of you.

ASML in the Netherlands.
Again I don’t understand your comment: The EU or rather specifically the Netherlands is the global market leader. How should they compete even more?

Well, for example maybe ask youself which continent produced the first commercially available COVID vaccines?

I am not 100% sure how to tackle your comment:
Are you pro-monopolies or anti-regulations? Or maybe both?
Have the communication giants (AOL, Comcast, …) thought you nothing?

Because on multiple levels it is cheaper to comply than losing the cash from Japanese customers.
Firstly there is the hard cash that customers won’t be able to spend on the company’s product. That’s a big red flag for any current and future investors who want every last drop squeezed into their dividends. Getting less because of costs related to compliance is just regular business in the end. Getting nothing out of spite? No, sir!
Also, trust is a resource as well: Who in their right mind would buy another product from a company that might turn off their products again in the future? This circles back to the previous argument: Less sales, less dividends, unhappy shareholders.
- Comment on Chinese researchers suggest lasers and sabotage to counter Musk’s Starlink satellites 1 month ago:
I am still not convinced because you are missing the political implications: Blocking LEO for your opponent means blocking it for everyone, friend or foe alike.
Unless we are talking about an all out two sided world war with no neutral parties blocking space is out of the question. It’s the same reason we don’t see nations using nuclear weapons: Their use would cause world wide condemnation and at best sanctions against you, at worst more enemy combatants.
- Comment on Chinese researchers suggest lasers and sabotage to counter Musk’s Starlink satellites 1 month ago:
That’s a little naive.
- Comment on Chinese researchers suggest lasers and sabotage to counter Musk’s Starlink satellites 1 month ago:
Well, the advantage has to be colossal because not only are you denying your opponent the use of LEO but the whole world. This is guarantied to make some new friends.

Is this scorched
earthspace tactic viable though?Looking at the sort of tech militaries are heavily investing in at the moment, many require long range communication to work to their full potential. Sure, there is also the push to add object recognition and other smart systems to unmanned vehicles, but those are mainly intended to take care of the final approach where potential interferences are strongest.
Also surveillance satelites are irreplaceable in their capabilities.
