I hope in some fashion computers and related technology drop out of mainstream appeal and are relegated to actual nerds and tinkerers again. Not in a gatekeeping sense, but just where the goals are about pushing boundaries for the sake of exploration and not solely profit and personal data acquisition motivated.

as my system chases it’s tale in a silicon frenzy
Nice proofreading, Lazlow J.
I’m just a bit too young to have been part of the BBS scene, but I’ve certainly done plenty of Windows re-installs. I had a friend that would wipe his Windows 98SE drive every two weeks or so, whether or not there was any instability. I recently stumbled across an old backup of some screenshots and found one where I was apparently proud of the 31 day system uptime. Best part of the transition to NT based Windows was definitely the near complete elimination of BSoDs. Kinda blocked out the bad memories of random lockups and blue screens just being an expected part of daily computing life.
fdisk, format, reinstall

A new day, a new cm0002 account to add to the block list (this one marks #25). I really hope the next Lemmy update includes wildcard filters or something.

I’m guessing it wouldn’t be a valid legal argument, but I liked the thought experiment of claiming that it can’t be piracy if the rights holder is intentionally publicly sharing the content. Like trying to charge trick-or-treaters for theft when they took candy out of the bowl you left out with a “Free!” sign attached.

- Comment on Tips for TPU? 5 months ago:
When I first got the printer and was learning I used glue sticks to help with adhesion and just got sick of dealing with the residue and reapplying it - so now I intend on never using them at all if possible. I have 2 of the printers, one just for PLA and has a smooth PEI sheet, the other for PETG/TPU and just the regular textured mat that came with it. I usually don’t need to swap between filament types a bunch so when I’ve got some prints that need TPU it only takes a couple minutes to apply the tape and then I can just leave it on for as long as I want and not think about it. I also use the wide blue tape (can’t remember if it’s 2.5 or 3") so it’s only a couple rows to put on.

Not sure if I’ve ever tried without it, but I cover the standard textured mat with blue painter tape for printing 95A TPU on an Ender 3 Pro. It sticks just fine for printing and haven’t had any issues removing the print after.

If you’re just going to assign an arbitrary token amount to charge for the food then how will that teach the kids the value of money? And since the kids themselves wouldn’t be the ones actually paying for the meal it’s still a disconnected symbolic gesture unlikely to impart any lifelong lessons. You’re going to be spending more effort and potentially money in tracking and enforcing payments for the meals than what you’re going to recoup by (under)charging for them. How about, since everyone is already paying taxes toward education, we just allocate some of those funds to providing food for every student/child if they are actually intended to be the future productive members and leaders of society?
I would think a better method to teach the value of money is to explain the economies of scale and couple that with showing how much planning and work goes into providing and preparing the “free” meals so they aren’t taken for granted as just being manna from heaven.
