Because they are trolls whose purpose is to actively harm everybody else. They do not deserve our tolerance.

The facility is lined with razor wire, and its windows are boarded with plywood.

A boarded-up building, eh? Sounds like a blighted property that the city should condemn and bulldoze.

Marty McFly, having seen this one before

I wanted a wearable computer with a head-mounted display real bad until the justified backlash against Google Glass ruined it for everyone.

This is a category of device that cannot be allowed to be implemented as a surveillance-capitalist product, only as Open Hardware.

That community is all about burning fascist stuff to the ground.

“[Community] is leaking” is a meme people say when something evocative of a community is posted outside it.

That’s neat!

our existence is a threat to traditional gender roles and family structure.

No, those are the euphemisms the fascists use. The word you’re really looking for is “patriarchy”.

Don’t let the enemy control the conversation.

Trans allies are going to need to start setting up an underground railroad.

I hesitate to actually make a recommendation other than “not Bambu” because I haven’t done a ton of research myself.

• Prusa is possibly the best option in terms of ease of use and ethics, but I’m too cheap to stomach their prices (YMMV).
• Sovol proudly advertises the fact that their stuff is based on Voron open source designs, so that’s good.
• DIYing a Voron is what I might suggest if you weren’t so new (and what might be my next printer).
• Creality, Elegoo and Anycubic are sort of the leaders among generic Chinese brands that implement open source designs but don’t really champion it or give back, but also don’t try to screw the community. IMO they’re good options if you’re more price conscious, like I am.
• I have literally never heard of Qidi until reading your comme

I personally own a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE (that I got on open-box discount from Microcenter for <$150, BTW) which used to be considered the best entry-level printer but now seems to be getting less recommended as newer competitors come out? I’m not sure what I’m missing out on, TBH, other than obvious higher-end performance features that would move a printer out of that market segment. Any ease-of-use features it lacks can be fixed by hooking a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint to it, but I don’t mind enough to bother. (I also own an old Monoprice Select Mini, but that’s not relevant in 2025 and I only mention it to say that the Ender wasn’t my first printer.)

I think the Ender V3 SE is a fine choice if you’re just getting started, unless you want to spend a bunch more money (either to get capabilities like large print volume, a heated chamber for exotic filaments, or multi-color, or to pay a premium to support a brand that gives back to the community).

I guess that’s what Gibson meant about the future not being evenly distributed. As also a millennial (and an older one, at that) I got all my porn from the Internet when I was that age, albeit having to wait for individual images to load at 56kbps at first.

You can imagine how excited I was for my household to get DSL, LOL!

TL;DR: they’re infecting it with (even more) proprietary garbage, which is a slap in the face to a community built on the ethos of the RepRap project. Everything in hobbyist 3D printing – the software, the firmware, and the hardware – is built on open-source designs, and Bambu’s attitude is to take all that and then not give back.

“Better answer” means “enforce antitrust and consumer protection law to punish corporations for attempting to usurp device owners’ property rights.”

It’s not about preventing sideloading installing software in the normal way¹ by someone determined to do it.

It’s about spreading FUD and propaganda demonizing the idea of device owners actually having control over their property instead of abdicating their rights and ceding their privacy to technofeudal overlords like Google.

¹ because “sideloading” is itself already a propaganda term

Did I stutter?

The entire core concept is judicial malpractice!

The trouble with zsh is that it’s permissive-licensed, which makes it strictly inferior to GPLv3 bash no matter what other features it might have.

and he cannot be questioned

Literally judicial malpractice.

The reason people say Samsung sucks isn’t because they’re bad at statistics, it’s because they can look at the blatant planned obsolescence.

For example, the “spider arm” on Samsung washers is deliberately made from the wrong metal so it literally disintegrates due to corrosion and breaks into pieces after a few years (i.e. shortly after the warranty ends), even as every single other metal component in the damn thing is made out of stainless steel and remains pristine.

That’s not my picture, but that’s what happened to my washer. I took it apart and saw for myself. And it’s not random bad luck, either; it’s designed into the product for it to fail that way.

So that’s why when some of us say we know for a fact that Samsung is shit, WE KNOW FOR A FACT that Samsung is shit, and we can demonstrate exactly WHY Samsung is shit. So don’t fucking tell us our experience is “limited” and “biased!”

3D printers are not exempt form marketing

Case in point: Bambu and Autodesk sponsoring every maker Youtuber. (Fuck both Bambu and Autodesk, BTW.)
