For the record, you can just adjust voltage and trash your steppers.

any one have the gcode?

We should start sending it to these printers,

i use privacy badger from the EFF peeps, along side ublock origin. it works well enough for me.

Switch to Firefox!

I mean selling emulators or something is a way to make money.
I’d buy a gameboy repo in a heart beat. Or, maybe something with an SD card/chip that ran the roms; and if it came from nintendo, chances are pretty solid it’d acutally work 90% of the time.

He didn’t start out smart. The only thing that changed is he fired his PR team.

The thing about it, though… all the pride merch, lattes, beers were not because the corpos care if your lgbtq and being disenfranchised and harassed and all that.

They just wanted to sell more merch and lattes and beers. “Slap a rainbow on it- they will eat it up!” Was literally their thought process.

they’ve never pretended to care, though.

well, if it’s your personal mac and you’ll be taking it with you, it’s difficult to see import taxes being a necessary thing.

It’s more the… if a group of people can’t get “good” hardware because of export controls … legally… some might take a shine to yours.

I really liked the “If 2001 a space oddessy had used Cheap CGI” intro there. really brought some class to it.

Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).

we should continue to do what we’ve been doing and hope Jan 6 doesn’t happen or another plague doesn’t crop up.

That’s what I just read. Because we know “calling it out” doesn’t work unless the person calling the bullshit out has a relatively close relationship to the individual.

We also know that not taking these individuals down gives them a much larger audience to reach. A much larger platform.

Also, the entire reason we have consumer protections agencies like the FDA is because generally speaking consumers can’t know on their own if something os safe or effective. Your argument here is patently foolish and absolywill kill people.

Why? To protect “rights” they don’t even actually have? Remember: social media is not actually public. They’re a private, for profit company and they maintain the right to take down any content they deem inappropriate.

It’s perfectly within the FDA’s mandate to point out content the agency deems inappropriate, and ask them to take it down.

Just as it’s within their mandate to ask Walmart to stop selling vitamin pills if it deems them to be dangerous.

Don’t be stupid

You first.

Inciting insurrection, inciting to riot, and treason are all very much illegal. And pretty much always have been.

I will back the right of any American to say their piece to the hilt, and generally, you’re right. This however is not “suppression”…. And a lot of these posts aren’t necessarily Americans. Would you prefer else invade Russia, to make it stop?

In the same vein, selling snake oil is also very much illegal. It’s called fraud. Many of the people your defending are very much modern snake oil salesmen. I would also very much like to see jail time to the people that sold my cousin some shit promising it would protect her son from Covid. The kid is alive. But he got long Covid anyway, and when she responded by giving the kid more snake oil… he went blind.

Your ideals are awesome. But they come with a cost you are choosing to ignore. Many of these individuals are choosing to knowlingly spread lies (including trump himself,) for their own personal gain. Free speech, doesn’t mean no consequences.

The first amendment doesn’t protect you from getting shitcanned from social media because you shilled some snake oil or are openly advocating insurrection (or spouting election lies.)

Kaspersky. Back when the russians started getting weird with things, and kaspersky… got dubious… I canceled my subscription and switched to a different AV. when it was about to expire, they sent a ‘we’ll automatically renew’. So I tried to log in- my credentials were invalid- I use a PW manager, so no. It wasn’t a bad password-
the password reset option wouldn’t work (literally wouldn’t send the validation link.)
Called their CS who told me that subscriptions were handled by a 3rd party in the US- Digital River.
Digital river said I should cancel it on their website.
got DR and Kaspersky’s CS on the same phone call. they finally complied and canceled the subscription.
A year later… “Your subsctiption will automatically renew!”

called them again. sent a letter. thought that was that until I saw they billed me anyhow.
tried to call them. they were giving me the run around.

Called the bank. to report fraud.
They were useless until I told them my next call would be FBI’s financial crimes people. Suddenly, that charge back became super easy.

or straight up misinformation and hate speech. Calls for insurrection. that sort of thing.

because that would never happen… right…? I mean the US is civilized and never had violence used to try and prevent the lawful and constitutional turn over of power… right…?

So if any one wants, I’m running a sale on Inverpectin.

For the low price of 69.69, you could get a months supply- but wait, there’s more. If you order in the next 30 seconds, I’ll give you a second months supply free- up to six months when you buy six! That’s a years worth of protection from Covick!

(Please note the evil FDA and CDC are saying inverpectin doesn’t do what I say it does, and is insisting Inveepeftin caused man-boob development. It’s all lied! I swear!)

I use free BSD. Just so I can flex on the Linux losers.

(Kidding…. BSD is weird. I use whatever flavor of linux happened to be interesting. Debian, fedora, Suse. Arch. Not Ubuntu. LMDE. CentOS. Maybe scientific if I’m planning some stuff with OpenFOAM.)

heh. I forgot to mention that they trash education. thanks for reminding me.

Also the rampant stupid laws that see people thrown in prison for… bullshit charges. (Prison labor is, after all a huge industrial sector. “Made in 'Murica”, amirite?)

I wish it didn’t make nearly as much sense as it does.

I suspect it’s a conspiracy to generate more babies with families (Or not families per se) that can’t afford them. In order to perpetuate a supply of cheap, uneducated labor. banning porn will remove an outlet for for horny folks… banning contraceptives will make people more likely to get pregnant. banning abortions will force mothers to carry to term, leading to… perpetuated poverty.
