That’s the spirit

Family is the relationship, relatives are who you’re related to.

Found family is better anyways.

Republican

advocate for people’s rights

You really can’t be both at the same time.

After this election I’ve had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as “trump’s just saying things, he doesn’t actually mean anything he’s saying.” And then they’d get defensive when I’d ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn’t mean anything he says.

It’s really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it’s amazing realizing that you don’t need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.

Back in my day we knit those bits into place. That’s where the really cool projects are.

NGL dying due to climate is definitely preferable to dying due to fascist hunting people like me

With the fascist in power they’re going to speed up the climate destruction

So maybe the fascist will kill us with the climate

yay?

Having your own data can be incredibly useful and valuable, the trick is protecting that data so that nefarious actors can’t use it.

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.

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.

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.”

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.
