And is promised to be open, but their hardware is still proprietary closed source just like bambu and they use a proprietary hotend and nozzle that you can’t replace 3rd party, so if anything breaks and they decide not to help you, good luck fixing it.
Almost exactly how bambu started. Seemed to get better once 3rd parties cloned their proprietary parts (not of their own doing), then nosedived.
Looks like an amazing printer at a great price, but so did Bambu in the beginning.
Outside of the US here: nearly every insurance company in Belgium (that are coincidently also the banks) are 100% scamming people and literally make their entire business model off of ripping people off as much as possible.
Using any and every excuse to deny people the insurance they paid for when they have legitimate claims is literally how they are “profitable.”
I dunno man, my farmer works from 6h to 23h with barely a break in between, only eats when he absolutely needs to or is going to fight ghosts alone to get sprinklers to ease the work just a little, and maybe has a couple days of talking to people or going to the arcade per season lol.
Relaxing for the player, maybe not for the farmer themselves.
You’re right, we don’t live in a utopia, so do you actually think the governments (since all governments seem to be doing some form of this) will not simply allow bots (bots are from companies, and neo-liberal governments will twist themselves into an inter dimensional pretzel if it pleases megacorps), foreign intervention (having a valid foreign ID doesn’t atop people from astroturfing), etc?
They have more than a dozen ways to combat misinformation already and they actively choose not to use any of them at all because it meets their goals.
Do you think normal people will be able to access the IDs of anyone to see if they are astroturfing and spreading misinformation? Literally a 0.001% chance of that happening.
Literally the only thing that will happen is that normal people get tracked to hell and back and when the authoritarians manufacture enough consent to take power, it will immediately be used to dispose of their dissidents. Only bad comes from this because the democratic or socialist cleaning governments don’t have the spine to actually use it against the billionaire class.
Zach Freedman always has quite thouroughly thought out videos. Not always interesting for me personally, but quite a few bangers.
And he launched Gridfinity into the ecosystem it is today.
FUTO is a bit problematic
Rossman left FUTO (unclear if it was because of their practices) anyway. Best to contribute to projects directly.
