The United States.

I believe he’s trying to backpedal on that one, is my point.

Well, it’s not final. I remember a time - in Belgium I think - when a utility vehicle was defined as having no backseats for passengers. Scores of people registered Porsches and other obviously passenger cars with the backseats removed as tax-exempt minivans.

Belgium put a stop to that and suddenly, all those backseat-less sportscars got taxed like they ought to be. Just like that, retroactively.

The same thing can happen with your vroom-vroom-loving neighbor very quickly.

Europeans can vote with their wallets and boycott nonsensical vehicles from the fascist country across the pond. They don’t have to wait for their increasingly corrupt powers that be to do the work for them you know…

Just when the Ukrainians thought their fate wasn’t terrible enough, they receive a visit from a rich bastard who essentially lives for free off the backs of his own countrymen, to make himself look good and ingratiate himself in the eyes of his equally mooching royal father.

Oh well, I guess a few free prostheses are worth the depressing visit.

It is indeed.

I’m old enough to have known family members who came back from Auschwitz (not all my family members did). They told us kids what happened to them. I never thought I’d live to see this shit come back to haunt us. And coming from jews, and people who are old enough to have known what Nazism does in person no less.

We were so hopeful in the 70s… It really feels like someone stole the future we were promised.

Netanyahu is part of the international neo-Nazisphere.

It’s like the Comintern of old but for fascists. They know no borders.

She’s gonna make everyone who celebrated his death famous?

She’s gonna have a longer night of work than Santa Claus.

“Congratulations to George Floyd on being 5 years sober today.”

Like… Really?

What the fuck is wrong with this broad? That’s abhorrent.

Not to mention the 30,000 sickos who liked this of course…

It’s funny how little of that word he hated I feel for him right now… I guess he just didn’t attract a lot of it as a terrible person.

PETG never sticks well on any bed plate on our Prusa Mk4 for some reason, while it seems to stick very well on the plates coated with the same materials on our Prusa XL.

I tried to change a million parameters, and then I gave up trying to understand, because at some point all I want is to stop wasting filament and time, and get the parts I need.

So I use glue and I spent 2 minutes wiping off the glue in the sink when it’s done. It’s just pragmatic and it lets me get on with the rest of my life.

Use glue.

Well… I have only one thing to say: it’s fewer, not less.

A strangely pointed metaphor of America today…

Here’s my prediction: this new, marvelous human-like AI will turn out to produce slop, hallucinate, lie and spew BS in the stereotypical nauseating machine-generated sycophantic tone just like all its predecessors.

Enough with the hype already. We all know what AI is and it’s shit.

Hey no sweat 🙂 I just happen to be old enough to have known / read about / heard about RMS for decades. Given enough time, if you’re at all interested in the free software movement, his less-than-savory traits naturally end up coming to your attention.

Thanks. Sorry I should have linked to it. I kind of assumed it was common knowledge.

Could we perhaps not drag RMS out of whatever dark place we’re blessed not to hear about him from now?

We have enough pedo shit going on with the POTUS at the moment.

Also, LibreOffice saves in .docx format, if you want to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic.

This is drivel. Previous generations did have it easier than some recent ones.

Did I claim otherwise?

Of course we gen-Xers had it easier. And our boomer parents before us even more so. This is totally unrelated to what I said, which is that older folks tend to remember the world as better in the past than it truly was.

Also, America sucks and always will.

That is what I said. There is no better America in the past.

Tankie porn… Eew…
