Hold on, am I missing something? I don’t see anyone in here talking about that time proton openly endorsed the Republican party. Did we forget about or forgive them for that? Is it just irrelevant right now? They backtracked later but like https://archive.ph/2yWGz

When organizations make a move like that, they usually don’t stop pushing in that direction, even if they backtrack in response to pushback. While I’m sure they’re still better than google, I have a hard time trusting them after that. It feels relevant to talk about because like you said, using proton is adding another trust point.

Hold on, bringing this into my discord server

I don’t know about you but I don’t choose not to. other people choose for me, and trying to do anything about it would either get me locked up and tortured or shot.

That person sent a clip of Elon musk doing the nazi salute with their comment. You responded with “please don’t let this be ai”

I don’t think you watched the clip.

As an American, no it’s not nice. Why would I want more of this shit elsewhere?

Ah, very nice effect.

I’ve seen lighting similar to this outside before.

Is that how the lighting actually looked?

It seems that this is explicitly pushing prusa out of the open source model. Bambu is free to steal their innovations then add their own behind locked doors. The existence of companies like Bambu weighs us all down.

They took so much work that prusa put into the 3d printing world, and are then trying to lock it behind closed doors. I don’t want to buy from a company who only exists from stifling innovation.

Okay but irrelevant ads is the dream. I’d prefer not to get recommendations at all either. I’ll hear from word of mouth what’s worthwhile to watch, or I’ll look for it myself. Recommendations consistently muddy things up, it makes all modern social media useless, I have no idea how people can put up with it.

I don’t know if there’s a clean way to do this right now, but I’d love to see a software project dedicated to doing this. Once a data set is poisoned it becomes very difficult to un-poison. The companies would probably implement some semi-effective but heavy-handed means of defending against it if it actually affected them, but I’m all for making them pay for that arms race.

Hey they said one of.

Could be a tilt shift lens which can distort perspective and make a photo look as if it’s being taken from a slightly different angle. Not sure what to look for to disprove that hypothesis though.

Number 2.

5 could work if it was refined a bit more.

It’s likely a scheme to entice people onto their platform because they’re not as trusted as valve or gog. If they become a monopoly then we’ll get to see all the various catches to that.

I didn’t read the article, i just want to rant into the void about this thing that itches in my mind when I see this topic.

I don’t want a robot that looks human. Even if they manage to make one that’s convincing and isn’t nightmare fuel, I’m still going to be uncomfortable around it. It’s because of the fact that this robot’s existence would be inherently deceptive, trying to fool you into thinking you’re talking to a human, only for you to find out that this thing isn’t human. It falls out of the visual uncanny valley, but into an entirely new one, a more existential uncanny valley. If you want me to trust a robot, you can’t make it immediately try to deceive me into thinking it’s human. Look at movies and cartoons, the most appealing robots in those media are obviously robots. I’m sure there are a good few Androids that look human and are appealing in their own way, but for the most part you get things like Wall-e, or baymax, or r2d2, designs that are not trying to fool you into thinking they’re human. All of those designs have a charm or appeal to them, and they all look like robots. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I’m gonna go to bed.

I rarely actually pirate anything. The only time I pirate is when I’m otherwise forced to go through that specific company to do the things I want due to monopoly shit.

Used to pirate windows before switching to Linux (I still give people I know helpful tips on the process though, not everybody can make the switch yet). Used to pirate MS office and a couple other pieces of software back when I had to use them for school. I would pirate substance painter if a Linux crack was available, but I haven’t been able to find one and I can’t get the windows version working, so I simply don’t use that software. And as for shows and movies, that whole mess of subscriptions, yeah I don’t watch pretty much any of it. I buy physical copies when possible and watch stuff with friends who have the services. I use bandcamp for most of my music, sometimes YouTube for discovering new stuff.

I will however keep up to date on all of the piracy methods because i will not be caught helpless by some shitty company who thinks it’s found a way to corner me.
