There's a group of people who have a hard time seeing the perspective of newbies and unfortunately that group overlap heavily with hardcore nerds. For whatever reason, hardcore nerds are generally bad at UX and generally bad at moderation. It's sad.

Hopefully this will change as the hardcore nerds become a smaller portion of the user base and more regular people start using Linux.

They likely still only die after having kids, so natural selection has really no effect here.

Also, Foundation members have no say on the direction of the language.

I was kinda surprised as well that you couldn't annotate the function or something. But then again, an attribute like "please don't use this instruction" sounds like something that's pretty hard to integrate in the code generation. What kind of flag would you use? I don't think you want to apply that flag to everything, just to that particular function.

My instance runs on a dedicated server at hetzner, from their server auction. My price only increased like 3%, which is honestly lower than inflation given how many years we've been at that price point. So I'm completely fine with it. I've not heard of these enormous price hikes before.

I honestly don't think that is very usual. I would even say it's more usual to see bare links posted, at least if I look in my own feed. But maybe that's just the sort of stuff I follow.

Fuck the commission.

The EU is definitely a net-positive thing, but the way the commission works is too undemocratic for my tastes. Stop Killing Games seem to have wider support in the parliament, which is the actual democratically elected part of the EU. The commission and all the other undemocratic parts should just be abolished honestly.

European English

Is this a thing? Isn't it just "British English"?

Sure, but the point of this post is to highlight Bambu's anticonsumer practices.

I've been considering what printer to buy for a while now, but I sure as hell know it won't be a Bambu.

 

I know it's quite an insignificant bit of enshittification but I still feel a bit miffed that every logo these days looks the same.

 

I feel conflicted. On the one hand, Prusa seems to be a good and reliable brand. On the other hand, it seems overpriced compared to the competitors. Bambu seems to be a no-go but mostly for ethical open source reasons, not for price or quality reasons. At the same time, I've seen this article that says Prusa is even falling back on their open source principles. But not sure how up to date that is any more.

If we look beyond Bambu or Prusa, there's a variety of smaller brands that I have trouble distinguishing. With these other brands, it's hard to tell whether they're worth anything or just cheap knockoffs.

If we do consider Prusa, there's also the question of MK4S vs Core One. The Core One is much more expensive, to the point where it is ridiculously expensive compared to the competitors. The MK4S is slightly cheaper, but it seems like Prusa is focused on the Core One development going forward, so I'd be slightly worried of being "left behind" with the MK4S.

What do you think? Which printer should you get in 2026? Or perhaps there is some upcoming release or something to wait for?
