Why a bad idea? Why an odd idea? It's a powerful computer with a decent size monitor in a place where sometimes people have to sit and wait. What am I missing because seems like a logical / good idea to me?
Agree better laws are needed for this, but ultimately there is plenty of room for free content with ads - you aren't remembering that there was good information, entertainment, and even services before the ad drivem corporate internet took over. Some things of value maybe shouldnt be free / could be better if they weren't. I'm not sure where the happy medium lies, but it has gone far too far in one direction and complacency feeds the fire.
Are you kidding? Even with a bad personality and a tic disorder someone that looks like this can get dates. Have you never been around a beautiful person before?
"We've become scared of being tracked by corporations, but for what reason?" The line between corporations and government is increasingly blurring. The amount and types of data and the ease and lack of any restrictions on the data corporations collect. To make a statement like this in the wake of project Nimbus is an indicator of naivety permissible to you by a fortunate and comfortable life. Situations within this world can turn on a dime ; I emplore you to think of the worst case scenarios with corporate data sharing if not for the future well being of yourself, than at least to minimize the support of these practices which are currently and will continue to negatively affect others. What was once considered fringe paranoia with use of these "free" services is now clear and present danger.

Will be interesting to see if they stoop so low as to allow this. Probably wouldn't be a super wise move as most deleted posts are likely material that would not be great to train on anyway. My first thought when I read this was, "well, not on MY posts" I'm clean off of reddit.
And a lot harder to alter when compromised.
Assume you are not in US? Phone pay never caught on here in a big way unfortunately.
Well I wasn't all that worried about this until now! Thanks for unlocking new anxiety. My prints run through the night in the basement. Does this happen often with modern printers?
As much as I love the focus on her double chin, the stoned, cracked out, prince Charles really takes the cake!
You messed with the wrong guy. I'm going to protest the fascist restriction of syllables going on here.
It looks like it was sponsored by black and decker but the whole article looks like an ad for Dewalt...
I finally got a filament drying box and I'm using it prior to and during prints. It seems to be helping. I'm a bit of a color queen, so I keep a pretty big backlog of different filaments. I've been storing them in vacuum bags but the vacuum bags often seem to lose some of their vacuum after a few months; the whole process is a bit of a pain. Is this really worthwhile or as long as I'm using the drying box can I forgoe the vacuum storage? If vacuum storage is still a good idea, are there better bags I should be looking for that don't lose some of the vacuum after a few months or is that pretty standard?
I think it's finally time for a dryer box. Want something I can run filament out of directly to the printer. Right now considering space pi vs. Esun vs. Eibos. Ideally something I could run for just a little while before a print and during the print. Low noise also important. A decible chart for dryers would be nice if that exists. Any favorites or good ones I am not considering?
I decidedly do not like to drink coffee from stainless. Something about it seems to boost acidity. Borsillicate glass is my preference for mugs, but to keep my chemex brew warm in between the Chemex and my mug is there any reason to get a glass lined carafe (bit more fragile) vs a pure stainless carafe?
Edit. Oh, and would either one fare better for also being washed out well and being used for ice water in the summer without any coffee flavors bleeding through?
Where do you find large collections of hi res art? Old masterpieces and more modern pieces? Extra points if I can find stashes of hi res versions of NFTs that other people were silly enough to buy.
I had invested through sofi but they just dropped crypto. I use an exodus wallet for practical crypto purchases and typically import via cash-app BTC purchases. For larger investing amounts bringing funds into exodus directly involves moonpay which has high fees. Recommendations for a reliable low fee way to invest in a few different coins?
Heard I can use acetone for PLA, but not for PETG. Glued a joint and there is residue extruded and unfortunately it's a very shiny / translucent PETG. Any suggestions for cleaning up thin white residue stain from the cyanoacrylate?
Is it reasonably possible for one person to remove caster cups, roll a wheeled baby grand a few feet out of the way on a hardwood floor, and then roll back and replace caster cups?
Any support outside of qbitorrent yet? I know it's not FOSS, but I much prefer working in Tixati. Do I need to refamiliarize myself with qbitorrent if I want to try i2p?
So I watched some Wes Anderson stuff this weekend. Specifically, Asteroid City and his Rohl Dahl Netflix shorts. I've concluded I still very much enjoy his iconic style and attention to detail but it solidified my inkling left over from the French Dispatch which is that I do not appreciate his modern writing style. The contrast in the pieces written by Dahl compared to his writing is sharp. The Dahl stories share a sense of magic realism but lack the pretense and bundles of frayed plot lines that Anderson's writing now embraces. Asteroid city was a bit better than Dispatch with regards to this, but please don't lead me to strain so hard to find meaning in the poetry of the film without delivering a bit of reward for my efforts. Also, to get this off my chest. When you are able to get any A-List actors you want to join your cast, maybe don't just invite all of them? You are in a position to take risks. If your idea of experimenting with new talent is hiring Tom Hanks, perhaps meditate on this for a bit. Anyways, just posting this here to start an internet argument I guess. I'm also a little curious what others think.
Censorship is absolutely rampant on Lemmy. I don't post particularly controversial stuff, but I am an active commenter and I've noticed that mods will just wipe my comments or those of others on a whim. I think this is a huge issue and one of the biggest downsides about switching from reddit. I very rarely had comments removed on reddit and when I did I received a notice at least. This seemingly secretive wipe of comments sometimes a full day later feels very oppressive. Anyway, I know they show up in the mod log, but that's certainly not a place I want to scour on a regular basis. Is there any easy way to setup a monitor to at least alert me if one of my posts or comments are removed? I think mods should be required to contact users and provide an explanation - right now its way too much power for mods to be curating content so heavily.
Love the idea of skipping the store and still getting a great fit. I bought one of their shirts and it's fine but nothing earth shattering. Once you have your shirt measurements I feel like online ordering from anywhere is pretty safe. Pants are a whole 'nother thing though. How do mtailor pants work out? Also what about their suits? I've found very little reviews / info about their suits. I kind of feel like I'm paying more for novelty than quality with this brand. Curious to hear from anyone with more experience with this service.
