Like the other user said, this is clearly a problem if you allow any platform to exist. Let’s take this to an extreme extent. Say a company invents a platform that is 100% addicting, because they’ve figured out how to mind control you. Watching a single video means you will never stop using the platform and you will say whatever the creators want. Clearly that shouldn’t be allowed to exist. Things that social media sites do approximate that. They manipulate users brains into doing things that they normally wouldn’t do. This is why regulation exists. Clearly my example is farcical, but it’s meant to explain why you don’t allow just anything to exist. As a society, certain things are more dangerous than others, and we regulate those things.

Clearly this ban isn’t about that, it’s about a Chinese government doing something that the US government only wants US companies to be able to do.

Clogged nozzles suck. I can usually tell on those because the print quality goes to shit in the middle of a print.

Yeah it’s not. I learned that the hard way, years of thinking it would but then as soon as I switched to drying all my prints increased in quality by a factor of ten.

Less about grammar and more about using the wrong word due to similarities, like loose vs lose. I think esl speakers in general have great grammar, but it also depends on their main language structure. For example certain root language speakers like Hindi or French tend to have great grammar until something comes up like “are you going to the park?” where they might say “you are going to the park?” Or something like “I am knowing the answer” instead of “I know the answer”. Same with Germanic language speakers with ordering, like “I to the store went”. I honestly don’t see these often, and they’re very easily recognizable as ESL language patterns, which is why I called them out as exempt. Because learning another language is hard. But if you speak English natively there’s no reason you should be misusing “lose vs loose”. They’re not even pronounced the same!

It’s mind numbing. I understand ESL speakers having trouble, and I understand being tired and messing stuff up in comments, but if you’re making a post you should be double and triple checking everything you wrote. It’s ridiculous.

Nah, it’s regularly 5% humidity here in Colorado and even a single slightly humid day (20%) is enough to wreck the filament. I’ve resorted to actually drying my filament and storing it enclosed and my print quality went up dramatically.

Maybe yours did, but that’s not how it generally works.

Most people aren’t talking about investing with stocks. They’re talking about mutual funds and 401ks, which will grow if you just leave them be. If you try mucking around with them you’re going to be much worse off.

Everything you touch and use involves plastics and petrochemicals. Even stuff you wouldn’t think of like the coatings that allow street signs to reflect better and have massively improved safety. Lightbulbs? No more efficiency for you, most LEDs are on a plastic substrate. We will never get away from plastic, not at this point. You could make it so that food isn’t wrapped in plastic and that wouldn’t make a dent in our plastic use.

Huh we bought an expensive air fryer because my in-laws wouldn’t stop bragging about it. It was on super discount because bed bath and beyond was going out of business, but still super expensive. And I’ve never had any problem cleaning it, in fact it’s the easiest dish we own to clean, the grease just wipes out and the tray is removable.

There already are those documentaries? Jule or whatever it’s called has already been doing the exact same stuff that the tobacco industry did for literally a decade now.

Clean air act banned cfcs, not aerosols. Aerosols are just pressurized gases.

LinusTechTips has an incredibly recent video on this exact topic. Of course they were immediately sued or whatever so you can only watch on reuploads. https://youtu.be/IsUen26Cufs?si=b94x1EsxjLRi0Bts

I wouldn’t support the company, but I also think certifications are mostly useless.

Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.

Doesn’t really matter here. The saying is “the man, the myth, the legend”. If you go changing every part of it you might as well have not said anything at all because it won’t make any sense.

Dang I was really hoping it wasn’t just SD. I don’t want to have to go run it all locally again. Such a pain

I canceled my ChatGPT subscription a month or two ago. It just got completely unreliable. Like someone else said, Claude is way better but they’re both disappointing at this point. I only subscribed to Claude like last week to help solve an incredibly last minute thing. Not sure I’m going to stay subscribed.

I don’t remember what I did for my plancks but you can just buy standoffs on Amazon or pretty much any keyboard build site. I would just buy a medium sized set of them. In regards to stabilizers and stuff, pretty much any custom keyboard site will have them in stock. Like this one. https://cannonkeys.com/products/aeboards-staebies

Just search on different keyboard forums or discords to find out where people are buying stuff.

How do you get results like this when combining non-humans with things humans usually do, like stand up and hold stuff. I’ve tried generating bears holding stuff and it always turns out funky

When he got kicked out by the board I was quite happy, literally “omg they’re actually going to follow their principles” but then nope. Apparently nobody in the company could see it for what it was and people outside didn’t want their “chatbot to go away!”
