First off, nobody takes Marxism by itself. If it's accepted, it's always with extra things attached and other parts removed.

Second, my issue in this case is the Lennist part. A vanguard party degrades into cult-like behavior, and this is very consistent with ML groups big and small.

Then there's no point in voting for the Socialist party, either.

"As fast as you can turn the crank". Which isn't very fast at all because it's janky as fuck.

There is no implemented nationally. States run their own voting systems. You do this state by state or you don't.

Democrats have instituted ranked choice voting in some states.

Republicans have also made moves on ranked choice voting. They banned it in Florida.

You fix that by seizing the means of production, generally with unions.

You protect union rights by both voting for candidates that will protect unions, and also fighting to unionize your own workplace.

Toner isn't that hard to source.

The real issue is precision accuracy. Keeping things to 2D might sound easier than 3D, but 3D printers don't need the level of accuracy and precision that 2D printers do. 300dpi means dots every 85 microns. A very carefully tuned FDM 3D printer can get around 50 microns, but see below for the gory details:

https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/10349/do-3d-printers-really-reach-50-micron-0-05-mm-accuracy

Either way, 300dpi isn't particularly impressive for a paper printer. Usable, but there's going to be some blockiness to text, and graphics won't be good at all. 600 or 1200dpi is more like it. Which means we take that 85 microns and cut it in half, and maybe cut it in half again.

If we're talking color, than our difficulty increases 4x (because there's four cartridges for CMYK). They all have to be aligned properly to mix the colors to get a good image. We're also definitely headed towards 1200dpi at a minimum for good results.

Now, an open source plotter would be interesting. Not great for text documents, but useful for diagrams.

A lot of places like this don't want you using your own devices inside. I'd guess that they've disabled the cameras, or at least made it difficult to send photos outside of the device?

The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?

In the bottom pic, Carrie was definitely thinking about doing it for real.

The term "historyporn" implies I would take some kind of enjoyment from the photo. Not this one.

 

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

 

Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
