  • Small business owners say Amazon is selling their products without permission

    Jump

  • Besides all the obvious problems with this, the biggest one I see coming that I don't see many people talking about is how Amazon will inevitably use this to put others out of business if they don't cooperate with Amazon. They've already done this hardball game with sellers voer the last decade that if you don't sell on Amazon for an unsustainable low price + pay Amazon fees you'll find yourself losing business to Amazon's stolen copies of your products under the "Amazon Basics" brands. Well proven they do this, and I can see that if you find yourself scraped by this new AI program and you fight it, you're going to be getting a visit from the Amazon Mafia.

  • Incorrect. They have a new "ai feature" that scrapes the internet for independent stores and copies their products, pastes them on Amazon and then sells them to Amazon customers. Their AI then goes and places the order with the original store. Read the article and the news - it's widely reported in the last couple weeks. It seems like a "good thing for sellers and consumers" There are dozens of problems with this which are well covered elsewhere.

  • Ban it by calling it what it is: spam. We don't even need to debate whether it's "real" music or not. The bots and accounts posting it here are spamming the community for views/plays solely so they make money off their fake content. Every time I've seen it it's dozens upon dozens of posts by the same account flooding the community and contributing nothing worthwhile. Almost always they are even trying to pass it off as genuine musicians.

  • Never buying milk from Walmart again

    Jump

  • I know these solutions cost more but if you're having trouble with frequent spoilage this might save you $$

    1. For cow milk, try and buy organic in a container that blocks light. I find these to have extra long expiration dates compared to plastic jug regular milk... Often 2-3 months from purchase and it is often unspoiled past that.
    2. Try unsweetened original almond milk. I find it hard to tell the difference and the almond milk I buy can last 4-5 months in my fridge if I don't use it sooner.

    Which social media platform has done the most damage to people's mindset?

    Jump

  • I think most of them have all done severe damage but in different flavors, perhaps with a little overlap between flavors. TikTok creates stupidity/zombiemind/brainwashed. Twitter creates fascists. Facebook creates idiots. Instagram creates egomaniacs and narcissists. Reddit is all over the place because it's a collection of different sub-platforms.

  • Again, thank you for the recommendation of CachyOS. I whipped it up last night on my computer, and other than a small blip that the drive doesn't appear in bootable devices on my BIOS unless I go deep digging and manually click it to boot, it's been very smooth and reliable. I've been using it all night/day and it is really nice. I just have to figure out why the drive doesn't appear in my boot order menu when it's clearly a bootable OS.

  • I have tried several times, with both Ubuntu and Mint, and it never ends well for me. I even use Ubuntu as a web server for years, and have similar problems there, just in a different use case. I don't even get to a point where I'm unable to run apps that can run on Windows. It always seems to work fine during the first few hours and while doing the setup and config stage, I eventually run into a never-ending troubleshooting wormhole that leads nowhere but aggravation. I'll spend hours upon hours scouring the internet for solutions and it always ends the same way "I have this same problem, and this fixed it." and whatever "this" was never fixes it for me, whatever it is. I feel like Linux is just so always evolving that there's no standards and a command that works for one user on a previous version/distro is just completely useless for me because of some obscure technical glitch or difference whatever my installation has. Dealing with repositories, updates and endless dependencies is always just impossible and it's completely alien to someone who's used Windows for 40 years.

    My current iteration is I'm running a dual boot machine with Mint and Windows with the intention of phasing out Windows, but I'm unable to trust Linux Mint to be there when I need it. After a day or so of installing apps and configuration, it became unstable. I attempted to update the video drivers to the "recommended" version and it seems to have borked the whole Linux installation and nothing on the internet seems helpful, and the communities aren't very friendly to n00bs.

    So I always end up back on Windows, even though my hateful soul wants to ditch it badly. As much as I hate Windows and MS, Windows rarely has severe stability issues.

  • Hi everyone, thanks for your suggestions. I did try to turn it off and reslice the model, but it seems the situation is getting worse. I think my printer has lost it's damned mind: Not only is it pooping every few layers, but it's now started having an error every 5 minutes that says: "The nozzle is covered with filament, or the build plate is installed incorrectly." Neither of these are true. I've checked the nozzle and the build plate multiple times and it's all OK. I also had a couple extrusion errors that seemed false. Restarting the print was fine until these other errors. Searching the forbidden place for info indicates the false nozzle errors seem to be a common problem after a firmware update but I have never updated the firmware on my printer ... for...reasons... and it's never had this problem before.

    Some clarifications:

    • When I say purge, I don't mean it's building a purge TOWER. I mean it's pooping out the little globs to the left of the picture above.
    • It's just a simple 1 piece Tinkercad model, exported to STL and sliced in Bambu Studio. it only has one filament in the slice. Here's a screenie of the sliced attributes: https://i.imgur.com/ZWc6stB.png
    • I can't seem to figure out how to view the gCode in BS so I can't see if there's weird commands in there telling it to do weird things.
    • I'm using the filament profile in BS for the Overture PLA, which is the filament brand/type I'm using.
    • When it gives the nozzle/bed error I can see clearly that it's not true and click resume and it continues to print for 5+ more minutes and repeats.

    When I told it to stop printing from the screen controls it was like WHAAAAT!? and then just started spitting filament everwhere and then just plunged itself into the print and sat there in a very strange position. See all those little strings coming off the print? That's where it needed to go poop. See the blob at about 10:00 on the print? That's where I told it to stop printing and the print head decided to just dump right where it was and then plunge off the edge into the blob itself.

  • Actually, your question made me debunk my theory. It can't be the disturbance of the poo. He's never buried it in the first place. LOL We have a camera enabled in there to keep track of their habits and found he's not a very bright cat... after he makes his dump he will spend 10 minutes scratching the ceiling of the litter box, the sides of the shower, the floor outside the litterbox but he never scratches the litter or successfully buries anything. So it can't be that he buried it before lol.
