- Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D 6 days ago:
I’ve had all of that from day one with a MK3S+. It just works. I don’t even think about it. Plus your using a slicer that is derived from what I paid for while your money does nothing for me. Adrian Bowyer and RepRap built everything. It would have started in the 1990s if proprietary shit companies like stratasys did not exist. Nothing good comes from selling your right to autonomy and citizenship by inference. The world is falling apart right now because of this exact issue of a lack of big picture ethics. Every decision has consequences. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. I’m a real liberal. You have a right to be wrong, but I’m still going to call stupid stupid.

The ability to filter information using proprietary devices and software in the kernel of all of these garbage devices is the core issue. Trusting the owners of that code is to surrender your right to unbiased and unfiltered information. I am not at all concerned about hacking or security by small insignificant players. I am massively concerned about the extremely powerful using the leverage they have normalized and embedded to become tyrannical neo feudal lords in a fascist society. Google IS the biggest danger by orders upon orders of magnitude. Trusting them is to give up democracy entirely.
All mobile devices are proprietary. Android is a scheme to make a Linux kernel that has everything ready to deploy except the actual hardware drivers for the processor and modem. Manufacturers take this kernel and add their proprietary binaries at the last possible moment. That source code is not available anywhere. The hardware documentation is not available anywhere publicly. Every device model is just different enough that reverse engineering one does nothing transferable to any other. The level of reverse engineering is extreme and requires destroying many devices using things like fuming nitric acid and fluorine solutions just to have a small chance at reading some parts of embedded memory. These are some of the most dangerous and hazardous chemicals humans make, and you still need xray equipment, special microscopes with stepping automation to stitch images, and a ton of time.
This is moving to a tyrannical surveillance state of fascist authoritarianism. Open source software is a major front on the line of real democracy. This is a nuclear bomb released on that democracy. You fear the wrong pirates and criminals. The biggest threats always come from within. Trust as a mechanism is fundamentally antithetical to democracy. Everyone demanding trust is a traitor to democracy. Trust is the key of the fascist kingdom. Once that key is held, democracy has failed regardless of whomever is aware of the situation. Democracy requires fully informed citizens with skepticism and the liberal right to decide for themselves even when they are wrong. This is impossible without full access to information. The source of that information cannot be filtered at any level. We already have the narrowest bottleneck of available information sources in the last 1000 years of history. There are only 2 relevant web crawlers. All search queries filter through one or both of these two and the results from these are not deterministic. Two people searching for the same thing at the same time will get very different and very biased results. This is individualized regardless of any protections people imagine they have in place. Outside of the internet there is no real unbiased media. A dozen people own it all. Even the garbage claiming to comb all sources is drawing the line and dictating what is center right or left is. Anyone at the grassroots level is impossible to find because there are no organic unbiased search results. The results are all filtered junk full of agenda and bias.
This is the real big picture abstract issue in play. When the maga traitors said this was a coup, they absolutely ment that. Mobile devices are all rental garbage someone else controls. Your computer likewise has a secret operating system running in the background that you do not control. In Intel it is called the Intel Management Engines or ME. This started with Intel VPro in 2008. AMD adopted it is 2013. Arm has one too.
All that is left is to steal your right to have a digital front door by eliminating DNS filtering and all of these devices will be controlled and connected directly by someone else that is watching and listening at all times. You are already in tethers as a digital slave that can be bought and sold for exploitation and manipulation without your consent or knowledge using your digital presence. You have not effectively realized the implications of that surrendering of rights to citizenship with full autonomy. The next step is to redefine the word citizen to be functionally equivalent to slave. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it” because if you are not, you will be dead. This is the death of democracy. My words will echo in your head years from now. The dystopia to come is beyond anything you can presently imagine and there is no way to stop it now short of taking up arms and playing Luigi if you are able.
The consolidation of wealth is what really made Caesar. That was the death of the republic. It was not Caesar. We are all a product of our time and environment. It was the consolidation of great wealth. All that wealth did not give a shit about Rome, it went to Constantinople for better opportunities at first chance because consolidation of wealth is treasonous. It is as it was, just look at outsourcing and off shoring, or the disgusting mismanagement of banking and housing that have made the American worker completely uncompetitive with Asian counterparts at the same standard of living. No, I have no fear of the boogie man or foreign state actors. I am terrified of the criminal that normalizes domestic trust, actively manipulates and exploits me, and steals my purchased property. That is a real monster.

Democracy is dead. Welcome to the neo dark ages. Take up arms.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 week ago:
Essentially he was. This is him saying I have no moral threshold and am available as an influencer to say and do whatever I am paid for. AKA I am still relevant to your agenda… Call me. It is the same as all the big tech CEOs bending to 47 after bending to diversity initiatives. People with no ethics or morals fly the banner of whomever has control and do so in ways the average person is far too stupid to process. 47 is hard pressed for black and minority supporters. For a leader of dogmatic tribal fools, aka an influencer, the vacuum of minority supporters for 47 is an open bounty for a very large paycheck in exchange for ethics especially in the Southeastern USA where any sway over potential Democratic voters is critical for the fascist republican agenda. Nothing is simple or straight forward when a person is at this level of political engagement and wealth.

There is more to the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland than just a children’s story. There are several podcasts and blog posts on this that are easy to find. The book is public domain and on Gutenberg.org. There are also several audio book reads of the original text on YT. It is considered the holotype or foremost representative book in the literary nonsense genre, (the book ends with all of wonderland being a dream).

I think you need to pick up a book. Maybe get out of the sun. It can be harmful you know, bro
- Comment on The average age of Disney princesses is 505y. 1 week ago:
What is creepy about it? The entire story is really about Alice discovering rules and how she likes them so much. That is very much the world of an 8 year old. Not to mention all of the fanciful characters and tropes that were dreamed up.
There are many academic critiques and studies of the work. It is also central to Open AI’s QKV layers model alignment training. The story is the primary catalyst for creative randomness in terms of internal model thinking in both LLMs and embedding models used in image diffusion. For instance, all of the mechanisms that Alice used to become bigger and smaller are present in diffusion AI models with the caveat that no real person place or thing is present in the prompt. One does not need to bring up the detailed context of the story if one prompts the element with good specificity. A far easier method to play with is to prompt the queen of hearts or Alice as a character in an image using just a foundational base model. It should be quite clear how these images are a bit different in many ways. Those differences are not random and they are persistent across all models. Literary nonsense is the actual randomness that shows up in background objects and clothing in images. Prompting against the abstraction of genre is far more effective than attempting to describe your own details in the prompt with specificity.
In literature in general, Carroll’s work is the holotype for a genre. Analysing the work speaks to the human experience on many levels. The work has long been appreciated by all ages. So I am a bit baffled about what you find creepy about age in any context such as this. Like what kind of assumptions do you possibly feel grounded in here?

- Comment on Is Germany on the Brink of Banning Ad Blockers? User Freedom, Privacy, and Security Is At Risk. 1 week ago:
Blocking ad blocks is insane. Ad block is a lazy person’s DNS filter. A real filter is a DNS whitelist. This is what I run. I default to blocking everything. You have this fundamental right to only allow whomever you wish into your home. If that right is gone. Someone stole your front door and you should consider the internet dead and as useless as the democracy that is also dead.

Uhh no… Idiots are fascists. Some idiots may call themselves liberal but that doesn’t make it so. Liberals by definition cannot be fascist. The idiots are those that let fascists parade as anything but.

Why is the UK such a hell hole all the sudden? I’ve never had such a terrible opinion of the place until now with encryption and authoritarian fuckwitism against the last bastion of real democracy on the internet.
- Comment on sentence 1 week ago:
There are too many possible circumstances to encompass. Intent is the key aspect here. Like if you had some last minute change of heart or empathy, or came to your senses, your intent shows through. You still took actions that society condemns with the intent to kill.
Manslaughter is more like negligence, or really more like indifference to collateral damage.
For instance, texting while driving and hitting and killing someone on a sidewalk is manslaughter. You did not intend to kill or hit anyone, but your lack of ethics have no place in society at large. If that person was your ex, you’ll get first degree murder. If you have a 2 way dash cam that conclusively shows you never looked up or noticed the person, you might get manslaughter charges. If a security camera catches the rear view of the vehicle and there are never taillights and the weight distribution of the vehicle hints at a shift from acceleration, you’ll get first degree murder charges regardless of survival or death. Attempted murder is more like you threatened to run them over but you swerve at the last minute and did not hit them and it is captured on camera, or you cut the brake lines of their car.

He objectifies candy and values it very little. He keeps it imprisoned in a picket. He is not confident enough in his ethics to speak directly and plainly. He uses ambiguity to avoid conflict because he knows of his inadequacy but chooses to mask it for his personal benefit. He has a poor diet to match his ethics with the self control of a child. He believes in a collective fantasy imaginary friend and fictional realm and is therefore a science skeptic with a lack of fundamental logic skills and is likely dominated by unstable emotions and anxiety. He outsources morality to a negative feedback system and is therefore likely masking depression. His poor logic skills likely means any money he has was inherited and will dwindle throughout his life in a long string of poor decision making. If he does not have money, he will never escape his caste in life.
