Strikethrough is ~~double-tilde~~ double-squiggly.

That customer knew exactly what they wanted.

Even if something is violent, that doesn't make it stop being political.

They'll get there. They hate the idea of individual people being able to make things for themselves or having any other escape from consumer serfdom.

It's not even just surveillance! It is destruction of property rights generally, including the right to repair and the ability for individuals to own their means of production.

The law. It would become a criminal offense to use open source firmware.

And that's exactly what the tech oligarchs' true goal is.

This goes way, way beyond 'guns.' It is an assault on property rights and freedom of expression as concepts generally. It would fully outlaw Free Software firmware (which is what the entire 3D printer hobby, having started with the RepRap project, is based on!). It would cut the Maker movement as a whole off at the knees.

It's absolute tyranny in ways entirely unrelated to guns themselves.

Are we going to start fitting [CNC lathes and mills] with “you might be making a gun” detectors, too? Of course not.

I've got some bad news for you about just how fucked-up these proposed laws actually are.

Fun fact: unlike some other site that shall not be named, Lemmy's markdown can do subscripts!

Call the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and see if they can represent you, too.

LOL, no. Violating government regulations to harm the environment and society is fine, but violating corporate monopoly privilege to wrest back control of your property makes you scum to be shot on sight.

(Disclaimer: my cynicism should not be mistaken for informed legal analysis.)

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
