I’m glad to hear this because I read the other article on the day my Epson decided to suddenly take umbrage with my third party cart after using it without issue for 2 years.

As there is no other viable alternative for a relatively-no-nonsense printer on the market than Brother’s offerings it sounds like I’m not completely out of options quite yet.

This too heading towards enshittification ?

As the article says, they’re trying to develop a standard like robots.txt that prevents scraping for usage by AI companies.

While I think this is futile in an industry that’s already dominated by oligarchical tech companies, it’s at least an attempt to make things better than the status quo of “we’ll steal your shit and you can’t do anything nurr nurrrrr”

This is basically a veiled admission that OpenAI are falling behind in the very arms race they started. Good, fuck Altman. We need less ultra-corpo tech bro bullshit in prevailing technology.

I’m so happy, cos today I found this thread

I can only speak from personal experience but for me they jacked up the price significantly after year one and then sent my domain straight to auction after I decided not to pay. I respect that there are reseller-focused providers out there but they aren’t for me.

On the other hand, I’ve had nothing but quality service from namecheap for the best part of a decade.

They’re self-hosting Tangled on their server. The BlueSky part only relates to the protocol used for communication between it and other nodes. Definitely a confusing title though.

Namecheap. Avoid Dynadot.

I’m using memos in a docker container.

I like it because it has few features but they all work well. It’s great for taking quick notes or writing whole journal entries.

Awesome, love the design - something new for the homelab!

Too late, I switched to Floorp.

Because of privacy stuff? No. Because of repeated drama? Yes.

I don’t have time for this stuff. I don’t have time to track every minute twist of the knife that Google’s funding drives Mozilla to embark on.

I’m bored of using software and watching it go through “death by a thousand minor dramas”

So now I use a web browser that has a name so stupid I don’t even recommend it to other people. Brilliant.

Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

I much prefer Signal, but can’t judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.

The useful idiot certainly keeps himself busy doesn’t he

I mean, yeah, doesn’t everyone?

This is also slightly off. It was primarily to eliminate third party apps from the existing landscape. Reddit want money from users in one of two ways:

1. Use their app and pay with your data via invasive tracking and advertising.
2. Pay for a third party app that pays them for API access.

Due to the extortionate pricing, (2) was only ever hypothetical. In reality there was no sustainable model for this for any third party app, even as a non-profit.

The case around AI does exist, but it was smoke and mirrors for Reddit pulling the same nonsense that Twitter did once they realized they might get away with it, regardless of the short term damage it would do to their public image.

1. Try increasing hotend temp for first few layers and hotbed temp throughout
2. Try moving z closer for first layer
3. Repeat both of above in small increments

FWIW, those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets

Great, now I have to worry about this every time I order a curry

As a software user, you can either care about your privacy or not. Caring about your privacy and not either vetting what you’re planning to use or checking that someone else has before using it, is akin to sticking your hand in a fire to find out if it’s hot.

Taking that analogy further, malicious open source software is kind of like a burning building. It only takes one person to raise the flag for it to spread pretty quickly through social media or other means that it is malicious. The whole community doesn’t need to acknowledge the fire for something to be done about it.
