Isn’t this not likely since it wasn’t just metalworkers that had them?
I honestly wonder if there was just some autistic metalworker who came up with this weird fucking design and made a million of them like a psychotic dwarf, and then people started to get fascinated and wanted their own. A literal thingamajig that just fascinated people because of how complex and specific it was, and it just became a cultural phenomenon.
- Comment on New California ghost gun lawsuit takes aim at company that sells 3-D printer filament 2 weeks ago:
you could literally make a shotgun with that too. Saw a YouTube video. Two pipes, one fit in the other, small one was the right size to hold a shell, and a nail at the end of the closed pipe triggered it if you used your hands to hit it.
Super effective and easy one shot shotgun. there’s no real way to regulate guns IMO. They’re not complicated devices.
- Comment on “Software is over”: Bold AI developer takes aim at Adobe with open source clones 3 weeks ago:
I honestly see this copyright failure to kind of mark a massive decline in the US. Not that I loved the copyright system, but they protected patents and intellectual property like crazy and now they gave up.
We’re the kind of country where I wouldn’t be surprised to see people selling bootleg movies and games on the street for a quick buck. It’s a symptom of a failing economy and bureaucracy that won’t regulate anything.

Honestly not sure I prefer this era of “I create a custom fork of every tool I can imagine instead of Google searching for existing FOSS”

Just read chapter 11 and don’t rely on summaries.
This is how it works and it’s worth just reading a good bit on it rather than try to think of funny home address / PO box abstractions

- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 2 months ago:
Not sure i would use a plastic stapler/welder for something like this with small electronics but it is for plastic … If you’re careful it might work long term. Just be clean and accurate and don’t leave pointy bits that could cut you. The staples need to be trimmed after and it would be best to melt more plastic over it probably.

I always assumed it was a more recent desecration and thus more haunted. Americans within the last 200 years did a genocide and desecrated a bunch of holy sites on purpose. This would be a recent injustice which wasn’t “righted”.
Meanwhile some Gaulish ghosts are looking at modern French people sipping wine, being a mix of ancient Romans and Gauls and a lot of other stuff. They chill
