This exactly

Especially considering trump’s opinion on them and Israel’s stance on the election (wanting a trump victory) those should have been major red flags about a trump victory if you cared about Palestinians.

Voting the lesser evil is often how politics works. You pick the candidate you yu hate the least and try to mobilize more people in the future to get the policies you want.

Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.

Those that didn’t vote against that are a problem.

10 years and counting

There’s so much bullshit in new cars that’s it’s infuriating, especially considering the cars call home with all kinds of privacy violating bullshit.

My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they’re a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won’t pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they’re not giant megacorps.

One thing I would recommend though is if you have some hobbies try to find beginner friendly communities for those hobbies as they are usually super positive and helpful, and they’ll give you the chance to be that as well.

Personally I found helping people dive into the stuff I’m interested in was a massive boost to my mental health.

There’s just something wonderful about it that I really can’t explain.

They mostly turn into crabs in a bucket communities because the ones that stick around long term in those communities are usually the doomer types.

Or at least that was my experience with it years ago.

My best advice is to avoid those communities as I found they only made my mental health worse rather than better.

And at this point I don’t trust Microsoft to not stuff them in there as a “last update for Windows 10”

Ah that makes more sense

They probably horde that data like a Dragon hordes gold

Only 6 months? Honestly I’m surprised it’s so short of time frame.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

“Won’t someone please think of the shareholders‽”

Sucks to suck, I’m so looking forward to easy cancellation from services.

The funeral industry (in a nutshell) is hella expensive

Cost of the plot, scheduling, cost of a casket, prepping the deceased, if there’s anything special there’s that cost as well, etc

There’s a reason I tell my family that when I die, cremate me and put my remains in a coffee can. If you wanna schedule some kind of event do it completely removed from the funeral parlor.

It’s more a “If a company doesn’t comply with a coutry’s regulations then it can’t operate in that country” thing and not a joke.

For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn’t want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

Sounds like it’ll need blocked in Ireland then

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Fuck Spez

All I see with that statement is, “Please Federal Government, hit me with your breakup hammer.”

Off to a rocky start but the week is looking like it’s going to shape up pretty good.

Started a much needed server migration, it’s started out pretty rough with having to change the number of drives and forgetting I had to mask the 3v pins on the hard drives before hooking them up or the wouldn’t power on.

I’m currently on day 3 of the migration and I’m hoping to finish it by Wednesday.

Update: My server is back up but a portion of my network is down (whole 3D printing corner is down) and will hopefully be operational by Sunday.

It’s very universal, you can plug it into any port that is USB C, whether it does what you ask it to or not is a whole other story.

You know what they say about someone who represents themselves in court?

They have an idiot for a client.

Oh absolutely, but it does do something that I’m not sure people realize: it normalizes the idea of a government agent holding the keys to all of your stuff.
