I contacted the EU DMA team a while back. Part of the response:

We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.

So at least some part of the bureaucracy are aware of it.

There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time… Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse’s “no” is firm.

Depending on how much time has passed, your old gear might have been outdated anyway, so many new shinies.

sighs at old semi-abandoned Ender3 v1 in need of tinkering

eyes all the new reasonably priced multi-filament or resin printers

If I buy it used, it means someone is willing to pay that much for a used one, it’s practically an investment!

I think my induction cooktop has over-temperature protection in case all the water had evaporated. Nothing for the oven though. I love the Instant Pot (probably other tabletop pressure cookers too) for the timers & “keep warm” function.

Strategy is phone alarms. When I remember.

How is “average lemmy user” defined? I probably know more about eg. tea than the typical/median user. But there may be a true tea expert here that pushes the average up by a lot.

That’s really cool. Can someone more knowledgeable estimate the workload is for the central unit? I’m guessing we’re way beyond Raspberry Pi territory.

Briar, SimpleX, I2Pchat on desktop, maybe LXMF/Reticulum/Sideband over I2P if you want to get techy.

If only the intense interest even lasted over 2 years.

People knowing when they die at the latest will probably mean more than it being 50. At some point after abt 45 life becomes either (finances allowing) a hedonistic spree, gracefully putting your affairs in order, and/or an anxious nightmare watching the hours tick by. Not sure if people will come together enough to demand a kind of pension to allow for a year or two of calm for that, but anyone that can, will take ot anyway.

People will focus on their health a little less when there’s no time for many lifestyle-related illnesses to manifest.

The speed of scientific development slows. People have less time to learn, experiment, and mentor the next generation.

Shoutout to https://standardebooks.org/ if you read from Gutenberg and would like a cleaner ebook format.

Of course. And every eraser. Even after I’d long since learned that it’s a bad idea. But that moment of the snap is so satisfying.

Acorns in brick wall venting holes, pencil tips in softwood desks, toothpicks in toys…

I got diagnosed at 45. Dear god it was a relief to find out there’s a neurological reason why being forced to/forcing myself to clean my spaces was something I did with massive effort, in tears, through the power of self-hatred, for the first 25-30 years of my life.

Also so much getting things stuck in other things.

I sold “the chair” about half a year ago. Now they take up half the sofa & some floor by the bed.
