Are patents region specific? Could they just ignore the US market for example.

Ahh that is a shame

I think there is an open source printer being created. Potentially has the chance at being the only printer that isn’t a pile of shit.

I think it is more a question of will we make it that far. If so then it should be possible but I don’t expect it would be the norm and likely single way. Communication back home would be almost pointless due to the distance.

Perhaps it will be like the Rimworld lore. FTL is never achieved, civilisations are unable to remain stable once communication takes more than a few years or decades between planets as culture drifts over time. This doesn’t prevent intergalactic travel but it does make it a one way colonisation mission.

Getting them to leave me alone is a positive outcome.

Recently went to a company wide meeting, so I had to speak to loads of strangers. Usually I tell them about Linux and they leave me alone.

Not sure about total banning of it, sheep are showing to be pretty good at cutting the grass around solar panels and you get a better grass yield than you would if you didn’t have a solar panel there. They also do it for free.

Wouldn’t have a problem with a significant reduction though.

Not quite sure what your point is, ethical != legal

Easy, I can see that it is generally less bad when legal and regulated but there is still no ethical consumption under capitalism

Pretty sure my GPU could run 4k Rimworld, just play good games instead of AAA games.

You have childhood plates?

Why would I buy so many more plates than I need?

I am curious, how many plates do people with dishwashers normally own? I own 4 and don’t really have space for a dishwasher anyway, but sticking 4 plates in it seems wasteful. Most other things I have are hand wash only.

Similar issue, I usually just get instantly banned for advocating violence against fascists.

Potato wedges, roast carrots and parsnips with herb salt

I feel like my idea of cheap is a lot less money than everyone else here. I grow the herbs myself so that is free.

How is your bread so expensive? Cheapest loaf here is £0.45 for 800g in Aldi, most other shops same size is about £0.70-£0.90

Stop using reddit?

For the most part options I see with AI are just more of the same kind of abuse we already had. Maybe it makes it a bit easier or harder to identify as fake, but isn’t anything you couldn’t already do with other methods.

I dunno, I don’t do my job.

The one I am being paid to do, rather browse lemmy.
