  This.

  Just from the features and the convenience, Reddit is better. It’s bigger, it’s got more content, it’s easier, it’s more stable (or at least used to be). You don’t have to worry about your instance going under or anything like that.

  The reason for the devs to invest their time to make lemmy and the apps and for admins to invest money and time into hosting and running the instances and for users to use this instead of Reddit is mainly the politics of wanting to have your own space with your own data.

  True, even with the “Is this possible?” the student’s answer should have been ok. But with the “how” the teacher’s answer is plainly wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In my country, the written final exams include a Q&A section in the beginning of the test, where the teacher and the headmaster are present, and where they present the tasks and students are allowed to ask questions. After that section, the headmaster leaves and students and teachers aren’t allowed to talk for the rest of the test.

  I noticed a missing specification in one of the tasks. It was a 3D geometry task, and it was missing one angle, thus allowing for infinite correct results. During the Q&A section I asked about that, and my teacher looked sternly past me to the end of the room and said “I am sure the specifications are correct”. If there was an actual error in the specifications, the whole test would have been voided and would have to be repeated at a later date, for all the students attending.

  As soon as the headmaster was out of the room, he came to me and asked where he made the mistake. He then wrote a fitting spec on the whiteboard.

  I liked that guy. He was a good teacher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if the question was “Is this possible?” then the teacher’s answer would be reasonable.

  But the “how” in the question implicates that it’s actually factual and the student should come of with an explanation how. Which they did perfectly.

  Let me be clear: I wasn’t arguing for the law, only explaining how it will be likely used.

  Depending on the exact content of the law and the first few precedences in court, what you are doing might or might not qualify.

  Since you seem to only make attachments/utilities for commercial guns, it would be likely that that kind of activity is not covered by the law. Your guns are no “ghost guns”, they are commercial guns, legally purchased from a seller, with a registration number and everything. (I guess you purchased them legally.)

  The gun is specifically targeting “ghost guns” that are created “at home” without registration numbers and stuff, so I don’t think that applies to you.

  But who knows how exactly this is going to be applied.

  Banning 3D printers for the purposes of stopping ghost guns is stupid, for the exact reason you named (lathe, mill, welders, …), especially because all of these tools are used for all sorts of stuff and creating guns isn’t their main purpose. The same cannot be said for the design files, no matter whether they are for a 3D printer, CNC machines or just a manual on how to build a gun the conventional way. The purpose of such design files is to create a gun, and that can be made illegal.

  Whether it should or whether it would even help to stop ghost guns is another story.

  No you haven’t provided proof. You provided proof that you misunderstood the original post. That’s all. That’s why I call you a broken bot, because you think what you provided was proof and everything I provided was wrong, because you lack the capability of seeing anything but your own delusions.

  Your point is that you don’t understand anything that anyone wrote here, that you don’t have the ability to understand what anyone meant by what they are saying and that you believe only your interpretation is the only correct interpretation of the world.

  Are you 10 or something?

  You took issue with what I said then. And you kept taking issue with it. And now you claim that you don’t take issue with it. So if you don’t just go away.

  You might be made of flesh and bones, but your level of understanding is on the level of a very bad chatbot.

  But you are not standing up for another person. You are standing up for your own misconception and misunderstanding and misreading of the room. You are fighting against what OP said because of your own misinterpretation of what they said.

  Nobody is oppressing you. I’m just sick of your useless pedantry and misunderstanding of everything that has been written here.

  Oppression does not mean that everyone has to listen to your misguided ramblings.

  Yeah sure, saying “I hate this” is clearly an endorsement that it should continue to happen.

  I’m not driving you insane. You are already insane all on your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OP says: I hate when websites use mother’s day in their marketing/user flow.

  I say: Companies should either not do that at all (because it’s insensitive to a ton of people who might get upset by it) or at least allow the user to disable it.

  You say: That’s insensitive to ask for.

  What’s wrong with you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So OP never told anyone to stop using those terms… you put the words in their mouth.

  Why should I consider what YOU said, when making statements about what OP wants?

  No, OP only said they hate when websites do that because they love when websites do that. Surely that’s what “I hate when websites do that” means.

  Have fun, bot. No need to talk to you.

  You really have reading problems, don’t you?

  The first part was from the OP, the second part was from my post.

  Talking with you is like talking with the original version of ChatGPT. You forget everything that was said just in the last post before. There’s no point talking to someone with the attention span of a goldfish.

  Many people here seem to misunderstand how a law like that will be used.

  Police will not go knocking on doors trying to find out whether you downloaded a gun STL.

  What they will do is (a) take down anyone advertising or publically speaking about the fact that they DIY guns with 3D printed parts and (b) if they catch someone who is also making guns they have one more thing to prosecute that one for.

  And yes, known file hashes will also be blacklisted on places like Google Drive and secret services/police will get automatic notifications if someone uploads any of these known files to a service like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gillibrand Announces Legislation To Ban Distribution Of Blueprints For 3D Printed Firearms And Curb Epidemic Of “Ghost Guns” - Kirsten Gillibrand | U.S. Senator for New York⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully 3D printed guns are nonsense, at least of you are using an FDM or resin printer. Filaments and resins are just not tough enough to take the pressure and even when using tiny bullets combined with extremely short barrels to reduce the pressure (which will make the shot extremely weak) it’s a 50:50 chance on each shot to blow up the gun.

  And if you have access to a €50k metal SLS printer, you likely have access to much cheaper tools for conventional gun building.

  What is a thing though is combining conventional gun building (for the barrel and the other main components) with FDM/resin printing (for things like the handle grips) to remove the need for skills like woodworking.

  And yes, the STLs for that are just a google search away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The OP is literally this:

  I hate when websites use the terms “Item arrives before Mother’s/Father’s Day”.

  Makes me want to cry, thinking about the alternate timeline where I have a normal life and no depression/anxiety.

  What about “I hate when websites use the terms” and “Makes me want to cry” tells you that OP wants websites to advertise with mother’s day/father’s day?

  And what about “Websites shouldn’t use the term for marketing/websites should allow you to opt out” tells you that I said people (and not only companies) shouldn’t use these terms?

  Again, please read what was written, don’t invent arguments and statements.

  It does explain why Amazon (and every other company and by extension large parts of society) entirely focusses on “buy X for your mother/father right now” instead of even acknowledging hardships and difficult situations (abusive parents, dead parents, parents with dead children/miscarriages, people who want to have children but can’t, parents with difficult relationships with their children, …).

  There’s no room for subtlety and compassion when money can be made.

  I really like that showerthoughts is apparently far less harshly moderated than r/showerthoughts. Posting over there feels like a mine field where the chances of getting your post deleted over a trivial mistake seem to be much higher than the chances of being able successfully post there.

  I’m sure this post wouldn’t have survived at r/showerthoughts and I would have missed out on it.
