Artificial Idiot. It's not even remotely intelligent.

I really can't put this more clearly.

If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on.

There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.

The moron started a global trade war... oh no he forgot about that one... convenient.

Card #37 I currently have no way of obtaining. The others I will eventually get sent from a friend. If I could get a hook up on that, that would be great!

Can trade with friends for all but one of the missing cards.

I'm only missing 5 for a full set in the binder after 76 packs.

Long full 3D printed box containing duplicates of the Australia / New Zealand content creator TCG “Creator Cards”

You know… just a few dupes of @creatorcardshq.bsky.social

Thx Apple for straight up breaking the Sound Check feature in the Music app on the new macOS. I hate this...

We only pulled 2 clankers in 24 packs. It’s actually made me feel not as bad about the situation.

Yea I know its like when you get a payment extension on a bill so you can actually pay it, and then the following bill you can't do it again... I'm like I didn't just magically stop struggling here.

Aussie Broadband is the ONLY company that don't restrict payment extensions... the true goat ISP!

We crackin' @creatorcardshq.bsky.social packs and destroying the clankers we find! 🐰 🔍

Ugh... I feel you Sasi, I have debts that I can't pay racking up late fees... its dumb, financial hardship means these institutions need to have some fucking empathy for people...

Everyone is doing it tough right now... and these fuckers just wanna make it worse... 😭

I like Linux Mint, Bazzite is cool but its immutable nature isn’t conducive to power users. In saying that, having no proper guardrails in Windows usually leads to bad shit happening so for a lot of people Bazzite makes sense.

Yea, unlike Microslop, Apple at least understands that gen AI isn’t for everyone, and instead of forcing it down your throat you can simply disable it. Unsure how it works on the Android side, but I would sincerely hope you can disable Gemini over there.

Yea dump it and adopt Linux, then port over all the software. Microslop can die a very undignified death along with it’s gen AI shit.

Just fuck Windows at this point, we need to abandon it altogether.

BitLocker is stupid and only leads to data loss. Furthermore, Windows shouldn't be able to enable it by default or without your consent coz it just SCREWS you over when you have hardware failure but your SSD is fine.

Finally for ABS / ASA you require some sort of carbon filter (all Bambu Lab again apart from A1 series) to capture the really bad stuff that printing with those will emit, and you generally want your printer running somewhere in your house that's not commonly accessed, for even more safety.

Resin is for enthusiasts but is generally more finicky, and if you want to go with more exotic filaments that contain carbon fibre or glass you need higher quality components, (hardened steel nozzle and gear which can be upgraded later on the P1S, its already on the X1C).

Generally, Bambu is better for ease of use, Creality is a bit more tinker heavy, and Prusa is kinda supposed to be the most reliable (anecdotally I couldn't afford one when I was shopping for my P1S) but I've heard good things. If you're sticking with PLA / PETG then you have a lot of options.

Creality K1 is a good option with its version of the AMS (I think its called the CFS not sure of the top of my head), is more open source, but Bambu generally has it beat on design. The Prusa Core One is pretty good too although I don't think it has a multi material addon just yet.

I got my Bambu Lab P1S and I got the AMS for it later, I love it. Defiantly a bit tinkery tho, coz to keep compatibility with OrcaSlicer (by far the best slicer) you have to downgrade the firmware, but Bambu doesn't stop you from doing that.

Anything core XY, so most of the Bambu Lab printers apart from the A1 series, Creality K1 series, Prusa Core One. They all have their pros and cons. I've had a few of the bed slinger design and they work but you have to print dramatically slower, so the core XY design is better for faster.

No…

Yea if I was doing DIY it’d be a dramatically different situation, but since I’m not it’s way cheaper to get my scripts with that heavy govt subsidization.

I'm also not DIY, so it would probs be a completely different story without the govt subsidizations.

If I saved for that time I might be able to afford it, but cost of living is high enough I would likely have to use whatever I've saved to live. I just want someone to give me a job after 3 years of this shit...

As opposed to 2 boxes of gel sachets, which are because I'm on govt benefits, heavily subsidized due to said benefits at $7.80 for the same time period. Entirely about availability and one pharmacy essentially having a monopoly.
