Hello fellow humans. i am a squid human 🫠

  • How was your week?

    Jump

  • Broke my foot and embarrassed myself while drunk, woke up in a police cell and missed a day of work last week, so this week I feel I can't complain but I will anyway, due to the broken foot, I am currently wearing a medical boot, a large chunk of plastic, the foot is fine but this thing has made walking a living hell. Then to top it off I'm moving house tomorrow 😬😬 And the drunken embarrassment thing, that's been haunting my dreams (literally)

  • paper handling requires sensors, and logic. i wont even touch that lol, just laying out a do-able road map to truly open source printing

  • the print head is actually the part I'd like to escape, they are expensive to manufacture, get clogged, and burn out after 3 years of use -- sooner than that for the throw away ones in the consumer market. print heads also necessitates an ink flushing system capable of suction. printer that use powder toner can sit for years with only toner degradation but does not ruin the printer itself, unlike leaking ink, or dried ink to the print head. beyond the print heads fragility, the head would need tight micro second electric pulseses set to fire at particular moments in conjuction with the movement of the XY axis. not saying your wrong but i'm just looking at this at a different angle. i want a printer that is hack-able, serviceable and easy to understand.

  • I have, that's the printer by the Raspberry Pie team I reference, a step in the right direction but still dependent on proprietary technology which by design is meant for land fill.

  • I disagree. my generation is the one of the few who wont own a property, while housing sits empty. this isnt a supply issue, its a monopoly issue. we have been priced out.

  • Before proton we used wine. And wine will continue development with or without steam.

    If anything the open source community did more and gave steam a firm platform to build on.

    Edit: And to add an observation steams push for Linux is a reaction to Microsoft becoming a contender in the PC games market place. Its not for our benefit anymore than for valves.

  • I'm sure they like the freedom not so much the price though but if what sabreW4K3 has said were in action renting would still be possible the only difference is cost and who you rent from. renting would be far cheaper. landlords could be abolished and replaced with housing maintenance where they work for the tenants and local area in upkeep.

  • wont happen, only way to get what we want is through a classless society. we lived through millionaires and things were okay but with their millions they could secure billions: money is power and while what you say is a better outcome for our current time its not a sustainable one for the future.
