my thoughts exactly

The 90’s mentality of “Everyone on an Internet is a predator out to rob you or worse” left a mark on me-
I always use a fake name and innocuous, random profile pic if possible.

These daus you’re still screwed if someone’s that determined, but at least screw the corporations like this.

I’ve been trying to set up a space for this split keyboard/Accessability computer stuff, and I have, like, five ~50gb hard drives from yeeears ago. ( I was the designated data backer-upper of the friend/family circle)

I could see how things could get out of hand for the true memelord

Nah, I just wear what looks cool, no matter what.
Yes, I will wear the Vault Suit through entire Fallout games, because its canon AF. I just got good at ice physics because the Hover Boots looked rad.

And I’ve gone an entire game with the head slot empty in one game that, for some reason, didn’t let you unequip helmets, and the character had cool hair.
Also got a legendary drop with perpetual Dash speed. Probably the most unique individual character for that random iOS game ever.

But you’re supposed to ask what its desires are. We gotta know if this is AM “Torture humans for Eternity” or Glitchy GLaDOS “Make cake” kinda stuff

Part of the reason they get so high up on nerd sites (And Reddit at least started as a nerd site) is that they hunger for power, and the right people are too shy to seek power themselves.

This would all be greatly relieved if communities asked for communities to nominate other members, and asked for the type of folks who are the types who would mostly only consider the position of asked/ or if they were write-ins.

People with the capacity but are looked over because they maybe lack the ego or self confidence to take such power.

This works especially well in smaller communities under 4K users or so, which kinda falls apart in our Big Internet world, sadly…

I joined a local vegan group for some recipes because I have some dietary restrictions.

You know what they post about?

•Foie Gras is bad

•Where the FUCK can I buy a good breakfast

Seriously, these people just have this insane fixation on breakfast foods, and how much better they taste when someone else cooks them for you.

Just stop focusing on the noisy ones and try giving people the benefit of the doubt. You might be surprised at how nice people can be.

Even before data sales, though, a baseline, universal car never happened. Was there never a market or was a market never allowed to form?

Or perhaps the tech in a car really does advance faster than I understand? But then how would retro cars be street legal?

This seems like such a wretched inevitably. I mean, I guess we’re living it with phones, but it seems so unnecessary with cars.

Is there really no market for the same boring car, with minor efficiency tweaks, for, like, ever? I coulda lived with my 95’ Accord forever if the parts hadn’t been too expensive.

Do es the market really not want that, or do the manufacturers prevent it from happening?

Any Automancer please explain, I’m not car enough to understand.

So you have strong feelings about trains?

Why is this so difficult? I have a friend who loves Cheetahs, and its so hard to buy for them. Everything is mislabeled

Ah, the noble Pegasus

Am I doing this right

I don’t know enough about the fediverse, but maybe a Magazine for legit online artist shops would be a good idea.

Maybe I’ll try making one once I’ve spent enough time to understand what I’m doing on here.

Do you know of good alternatives?

Whatever happened to internet etiquette?
You (or the person commissioning the book) ask before you do this kinda thing!

Etsy is supposed to carry the torch for that kinda small community vibe of mature adults making money from their side business.

These folks deserve to get a bit flamed, because this feels like 2009 drama we should have collectively figured out forever ago

I mean, I know you’re looking for piracy sources, but the 3D printing sphere is pretty much full of tech hippies.

This may go against the spirit of this server and all, but if you’re just looking to print for personal use, there’s a very real possibility that you can just ask.

I’ve hit up a few people before, stating that I wanted to print their STLs for my own personal use and sometimes they said no, but more than half the time, they just let me have it.

Usually something like:

“Hey, your project looks really great! I’ve been on a bit of a tight budget lately, but I do have my old printer and some filament lying around- would it be possible to get a copy of your STL files pro bono?
I would love to get my hands on it, and will definitely post a make to your page!”
(It definitely helps if you have some quality finished product images, so you’re kinda free advertising for them)

I don’t make the personal choice to pirate, (and I’m not here to judge) but I figured my kinda approach still may suit your needs.
