  • My first printer was a self built reprap from parts from aliexpress in college.

    I then helped fund peachy on kickstarter and a stupid poured resin counterweighted printer called the Phoenix.

    I then had an Geeetech A10M, a Prusa Mk2 and ender 3, as well as one resin printer.

    All I have left is the Prusa mk2 that hasn’t worked right for over a year and doesn’t print anything.

    I would buy a new printer in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

    I definitely have never made back my money. To many dumb purchases and early generation jank all over the place but it was fun. The first thing I ever did with my first hand built printer was make a lithopane of my deceased dog and eventually my grandfather.

    I’ve made so many stupid things and spent so much time on it as a hobby that it filled my days with activities, reason to communicate with others and frustrating nights all alike. Its not for everyone and its not really a good idea but if you have the means or like a hobby of tinkering and building in the modern world there is very little experience like it.


  • No, he’s the poster child of self belief and vanity. Read your fricking book.

    He bestowed upon humans the gift of knowledge to commit their own evils and know them. The wellspring of evil not the source.

    Lucifer/Satan would be the one that granted free will and self determination unlike to be a caged animal and a pet. That’s why people view him as the chill one.

    Lucifer fell for our sins.

    It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place and thus I don’t block them but are otherwise overly committed to specific and weirdly hyper critical takes.

    Like they want the discussion/fight but only as long as they win every time even though no one is 100% right about anything. And not everyone needs to know or believe in the same hyper specific thought process they believe in.

    Easy.

    First buy up a bunch of housing east of the California fault line and then with the billion get nuclear missiles that I can use to trigger the fault and push California off creating a new coast line and water front property for a brand new tech center of the world.

    If I have any left over I can look at maybe getting a space crystal that rapidly grows in water to create a new island that true foreigners won’t be able to step on without hurting themselves.

    You got to learn from the best.





  • So, I’d say there is some slight issue with replacing all decision makers with AI cause Walmart and Amazon does it for employee efficiency. It means the staff are micro managed and treated like machines the same way the computer is.

    Walmart employees are moved around the floor like roombas to never interact with each other and no real availability for customers to get someone. Warehouse workers are overworked by bullshit ideas of efficiency.

    Now I get that it could be fixed by having the AI systems designed to be more empathetic but who is choosing how they are programmed? The board still?

    We just need good bosses who still interact with their employees on their level. We don’t need AI “replacing” anyone pretty much anywhere, but can be used as a helpful tool.


  • trying to build a community

    I honestly think that’s the big part there. You can build a great app but it doesn’t matter if no one is using it and you don’t get feed back or it’s not shared around.

    So, here we are trying to use the newest virtual 3rd space to create a community so that there is people will feel engaged in the product and share it around to add more.

    But that’s also an issue with discord. It wants to be a social space more than a useful space and it usually gets entirely dominated by a few users with others less inclined to add in. It’s also accessible but not easy necessarily to stumble into if you are outside of the community trying to look into it more.

    It just does the wrong job, slower and less efficient than old school forums or wikis, but it’s the tools we have to use in this less efficient connected Internet of the now.


  • Sure but also general trolls that are just trying to get an emotional rise just piss in wind thinking they aren’t getting bait. It’s that concept of not feeding the trolls.

    Also comments are reddits bread and butter so processing a few extra aren’t really impacting them and they are small to begin with. There is also the added bonus of it looks good on metrics for interactions.

    I think assuming every troll has a bot army is greatly overestimating them, people are more underwhelming than even they like to admit. And seems like it could help with minor deviants but also I wonder if that would make them act up more and turn to more offensive ways of baiting an audience, but then you ban them.
    Sort of like boiling a group down on purpose. A bit awful as you help nurture the problems to be more easy to remove.
