Hear me out: what if repealing section 230 would end up killing our social media monoculture, since it would be impossible for these platforms to operate. Instead, what if people had to host their content themselves, you know, like we did back in the day, when the Internet was fun.

To be fair, is it even possible to manufacture a perfect cube? What is your defined tolerance? A cm? mm? μm? An atom?

I hated Expedition 33's combat system, with a particular dislike for quick time event as a primary game mechanic.

FF7 remake combat is a great blend of action, strategy, with just a sprinkle of QTE. DOS II is a great example of turn-based combat.

OP didn't specifically say "only use the parts that came out of the box". It's still ambiguous. Are official mods, like PRUSA MMU modifying? How about after market parts?

Let me propose a modification tier list:

• M1 replace a part with a functionally identical one, e.g. replace worn nozzle.
• M2 upgrade using an official kit provided by the manufacturer to a new, fully versioned design, e.g. Mk3 to Mk3S
• M3 replace or add a part with an after market part to achieve improved or different performance, e.g. replace brass nozzle with hardened steel nozzle sold by third party
• M4 replace a part designed by the community
• M5 design and replace a part yourself for your own custom needs.

I've personally done all 5. I can't imagine everyone has done all tiers of modifications.

There's something about AI images that just gives it away. A certain glossiness. Subjects are usually too perfect. I find this is even more obvious out in the wild.

I have a theory that AI images in the wild will mostly continue this trend because the people making these images like it that way. Deceiving people is not the only reason people make images.

Does AI enable deception? Sure, but so does Photoshop, and that is decades old. Arguably, Photoshop requires more effort, but it seems like AI image generators still require effort on the part of the humans, if nothing else to select images that can fool, at the cost of other desirable features in images.

This is all kinda moot. There will be no companies to run when the economy crashes because there is no one to buy goods (or even to pay taxes to support government spending). It's a giant house of cards.

Neither. Version control and remote sync to your self hosted gitlab or gitea, or whatever (or no remote at all if you wanna go gambling with your hard drive).

AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don't have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.

I don't do online gambling, so maybe I am missing an important detail here, but there's no recent development that would explain why online gambling would have an effect now, and not a year ago, or even 15 years ago.

I don't think you understand what being squeezed is like. There is no fighting back when you have no options.

Fuck Joey Mannarino and fuck his subhuman and parasitic takes.
