Because 3D printer owners not only get to feel validated about owning a 3D printer, but also get to help the community during these harsh times.
There’s a lot of people saying here that it’s cheaper to 3D print. It is not. Even if the claim of 5 cents a 3D printed whistle is true, and I don’t really believe it, it’s not hard to find bulk plastic whistles with the price dropping as low as 2 cents per unit.
I would also like to add that this is our fault as consumers for lapping up and becoming dependent on the smartphone and centralized Internet. (Though on the fediverse you are probably aware of that, but almost all of the content here originates from it).
I really think they did it so easily with the adoption of the smartphone and the centralized Internet they genuinely are confused why their strategy isn’t working this time around.
I already said I recently moved. I’ve moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it’s all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it’s all the same privacy invasive shit.
The majority tolerate it, that’s why Meta is so successful as a company.
Hope this helps.
Facebook is something most people have and use to connect because most people don’t care about the privacy invasions or manipulative algorithms. It’s a fucked up world, not a fucked up town.
I moved to a new town recently. People don’t give out their phone numbers to connect. They give out their FB and Instagram accounts. Not having either is perceived as weird.
Hope this helps.

I’ll call your bet and say that Sweeny is right. I think AI will become so commonplace that there will be no way around it and the market has already been streamlined in this direction.
I would love it if my “feels” could be seen. But that is not reality. This battle is already long lost. Lemmy and the like can rage about it til their flames die out but it is a lost cause.
I’m in favor of the disclosures for my own personal reasons, but I see a lot of people who are anti-AI usage based on “vibes” and that does not sit well with me. If people are disregarding the positive benefits of the technology because “vibes”, it makes me doubt the validity of those opinions.
Proton mail charges to be compatible with Thunderbird I tried that already.
Who is down voting me for this? I am asking a serious question. 😭
Our flesh is as meaningless as the computer powered brains.
I use thunderbird but I don’t know what email server to use!! No outlook because fuck Microsoft too, but my Gmail gotta go too if it’s this blatantly intrusive. Who do I use?? I’m too poor to host myself.
NOOOOOOO!!!
Because it makes them a lot of potential money. This has been going on since business as old as radioshack logged phone numbers initially to the dismay of the consumer, and whatever the fuck probably bothered people about capitalist practices and privacy before that. I will never understand the hate boner for AI because I rarely if ever encounter it and if I do it’s backend like the thousands of learned algorithms before it. I think AI might actually be revolutionary the way lemmy acts like it impacts their day to day lives.
Linux good. AI slop bad. Reddit bad. Fediverse good. Star Trek good. Tankies bad.
Good morning, just waking up and I’m sorry for taking out how tired I am of the repetitiveness of this platform sometimes on you.
Yes you should dual boot, but to like 95% of people it doesn’t matter so maybe just running windows won’t be the living hell this place makes it out to be.
I don’t know why there isn’t a bigger lemmy circlejerk community it would be full of gold. I need to stop sorting by everything and join more smaller communities I guess.
i can haz my nostalgic meme u don’t have to h8 it :3
I attribute my immune system to my time spent in uni playing beer sports like beer pong.
We played with beer in the cup, not like the pansies who played with water and side drinks. So that ball that was often rolling all over the floor got splashed into the beer with cups who knows how many have drank out of before. And we happily drank that beer down. Usually there was just a side cup of water we just dipped the ball in if it got covered in dust or hair from the floor before resumed play.
I never got sick and never really do.
Sir this is Lemmy & I’m afraid I have to downvote you for defending AI which is always bad. /s
