OfCourseNot

Unemployment while on strike?? That doesn’t exist in my eu country, I didn’t know it existed anywhere at all!

Is this a thing anywhere else in the world?? My quick web search only returns these blue states in the USA…

Not quite… I mean depending on what you’re comparing it to. Like if you compare it to a person doing it—breathing, eating, space(home, office…), electricity…—the Ilm is much more efficient. Now a random person that wouldn’t have produced any image, text, song… whatever, that is now generating a hundred of them a day is, indeed, very wasteful and bad for the environment.

For comparison, the co2 emissions from training gpt3 were equivalent to 1250 people’s breathing for a year.

Now about the stealing part, I’m not very fond of ‘intellectual property’ very much myself, nor am I very respectful of it, so I will not discuss it.

That picture triggered my captcha reflex.

I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.

Thank you!

Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn’t convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.

What mistakes? Everything’s come out perfectly according to their plan.

What is exactly an American issue? Because all the issues here are not exclusive to the US, they’re pervasive all over Europe, and as far as I know (second hand), the rest of the world as well.

money, the copyright and the politics

Of course, the things that haven’t affected the internet or haven’t been affected by it at all.

Had to take a look at it and… nope. It seems clearOS is a linux (or you know gnu plus linux) distro, but clearOS mobile is android.

What about the eu people not caring about skin colour part? Also, how is it racist to point out that people care less about this woman than they do for Thunberg because she’s not white?

Is this sarcasm? Can’t tell, I’m honestly 50/50…

Setting aside that none of this would be happening without Israel fuckery, this is a new low. Scalping literal humanitarian aid to resell at a thousand to your starving neighbors… ‘Your children look quite like skeletons, you must be pretty desperate, so I’m rising the price!’. Fuck this world mate…

Sorry if I didn’t explain correctly. Holding the camera is not considered terrorism. As I said is legal (but sharing the recording is not), but the police can tell you to stop recording and take your device, also legal. Once they’re not being recorded, if they beat you up (high probability specially if there’s not many people around) they’ll justify it by saying you attacked them first, which is the part that can be considered terrorism.

I haven’t seen, personally, this happening for recording them, but I have for other things like trying to stand by your rights during a search, intervening when they where harassing someone, asking for their badge number (legally should be visible, and they have to tell you if not. But usually doesn’t end up well)… This is Spain, but I’ve heard stories about the Italian, French, German, many east European countries’… polices and they doesn’t seem much better.

Good advice, but check the local laws first–it’s illegal to film cops in my country for example.

Edit: I didn’t mean ‘don’t do it’, I meant ‘be very careful while you do it’. Also, while technically legal to record them, the law also says that the police can make you stop recording and take your device from you. Then, in practice not in the written law, they will beat you and throw you in jail for a couple days accused of attacking a law enforcement officer (which usually carries charges of terrorism), the judge will find you guilty since police have something called ‘presumption of veracity’ here (maybe not if your rich enough idk, all the people I’ve seen in this situation were poor). This is all in an EU country. Stay safe out there, pigs are dangerous everywhere.

Yep I know. These are the ones the company buys. I’ve tried others when I had to buy a box while out and about but n a hardware store or even a supermarket. Latex gets destroyed very fast, I didn’t notice much of a difference with vinyl… but you are right I have to try if some other material goes better. The thing is I don’t have a clue what the fuck they put in the inks and nobody seems to be able to tell me.

I sincerely doubt these newcomers can achieve at their first try what well established manufacturers haven’t through revision after revision of their machines. The price is the first clue, flatbed uv printers this size start at about ten thousand. Also, important information like which printhead they mount, printing speed (m2/h), uv lamp wattage… is missing which is suspicious at best.

Not at all like a resin printer. Imagine a hybrid: the top part is an inkjet printer with a printhead that goes side-to-side shooting ink but instead of paper sliding under it there’s a flatbed not unlike the one in a filament 3D printer. The ink is cured by a uv lamp (or more than one, but I suspect this printer has only one and very small and weak since the smaller lamp I work with costs more than this hole printer) usually fixed to the side of the printhead ‘carriage’.

No. Just don’t! You nerds, tinkerers, hackers, makers… listen to me: DO NOT BUY THIS.

I didn’t think I’d have to read the words ‘Consumer UV printer’ ever. It’s just a deranged concept. UV printers are the worst kind of machines there are. Imagine an inkjet printer but a thousand times worse, I’m not joking. I work with these, but professional/industrial ones, in professional printshops, and they are an absolute toothache for my customers (again, professionals that make a living with printers and similar equipment). The customers like me, because I’m the one solving them problems (even if the bill for the solutions is more often than not a few thousands) but I’m sure the salespeople look under their cars every morning.

This will only be a hole in your pocket, a piece of junk taking up space in your home, and even a hazard to your health or your kids’ or pets’–UV ink is some nasty shit before curing, some of them make my hands itch even trough the nitrile gloves, and you have to handle and dispose of the waste ink properly ie hiring some waste management service.

It’s true that you can make beautiful things with them, but for a home it’s just not worth it, just take your designs and your media (the things you want to print on) to a print shop and have them printed there.
