  • [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company

    Jump

  • Thanks for the link.

    Looks like not really closed-source, but not fully open as the previous printers were.And the reasoning is the usual, other companies stealing their designs. :/

  • What is that even supposed to mean?

  • Aren't you confusing them with Bambu?

    Their slicer is based on Prusa's exactly because Prusa isn't doing closed source.

  • I checked mine, which is a fairly basic model, and it's actually 400V.

  • Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon

    Jump

  • That website actually promotes Firefox, you know. Not sure it fits this thread.

  • Do you prefer Threema, Signal or Matrix? Why?

    Jump

  • Thank you for being one person in this thread that actually read and understood my comment.

    A bunch of comments repeating "Signal is the most secure because I said so" was not helpful.

  • Do you prefer Threema, Signal or Matrix? Why?

    Jump

  • Sure, buddy.

    Maybe you should read the comments you're replying to first.If you can't do that much then maybe you just shouldn't comment at all.

    I'll simplify it for you:

    1. Did I suggest Signal is not secure? No.
    2. Did the OP make a claim Signal is somehow the most secure chat on the planet based on non existing sources pulled out of his ass? Yes.

    Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.Almost feels like home...

  • Do you prefer Threema, Signal or Matrix? Why?

    Jump

  • OK, and how is that different from the other chats?

    You do know that at least Signal and Matrix use pretty much the same crypto, right?

    And Matrix can be self-hosted, so I don't need to worry about what they can see anyway.On this point alone Matrix appears more secure than Signal...

    And Threema is Switzerland-based, so by default it's more trustful than a USA-based company.

  • Mastodon and Pixelfed got a short mention on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Jump

  • Yes.

    It also gets some free publicity by claiming to be federated/decentralized without the user having to make any actual choices in regards to a server (because there isn't really any choice).

  • Why do most Americans use an iPhone?

    Jump

  • the alternative is around the same price

    You know that's not true.

    There are stupidly expensive Android flagships, but there are also a lot of phones for a fraction of the price.

  • It seems pretty easy to break, unfortunately.

    Or it just time outs on longer articles.

  • Thrill-seeking made me feel alive – until the day I hurtled down a volcano on a mountain bike

    Jump

  • What a weird article.

    The guy basically did a bunch of extreme sports, abandoned the entire idea after literally first relatively minor injury, and decided to announce it to the world?

    I really don't get what this article is trying to say.Extreme sports are dangerous, who knew?

  • Trump announces tariffs on EU in retaliation to VAT

    Jump

  • I try not to follow US politics too closely, so... yes, a little, every time shit like this makes it to world news.

  • Did this muppet really say he thinks VAT is a tariff?

    Can't make this shit up!

  • Piracy Crisis: Cloudflare Says LaLiga Knew Dangers, Blocked IP Address Anyway * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • It'd be funny if the other companies caught in the crossfire now sued those LaLiga assholes for blocking their services.

  • It broke again

    Jump

  • How about both?

    I'd expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they're only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.

  • It broke again

    Jump

  • Until the GPU cooks itself anyway, because nvidia can't admit their new power connector was a mistake.

  • Kagi Introducing Fair Pricing

    Jump

  • This sounds like FUD. Do you have a source for that?

    Before that, they claimed they were simply too insignificant to even be eligible for VAT.

    How is this FUD when you just said they admitted to it?

    Exemptions vary by country, but often they only apply to small businesses.Often there's no right to any exemptions anyway if your company isn't headquartered in the country (and Kagi is from USA).

    Either way you only have to pay VAT on transactions made after you go over the limit, while Kagi admitted they have to settle unpaid taxes.This situation can only happen if they didn't pay the taxes they already legally owed.

    See: https://kagifeedback.org/d/3592-march-19th-2024-introducing-sales-taxes

    Kagi will have to retroactively pay for all sales tax/VAT that we did not collect in the last almost two years. We have chosen to absorb this on behalf of our customers.

    They tried to make themselves look like the good guys, while in reality they just paid back their overdue taxes they were required to collect all this time.

    Not knowing the tax rules is not an excuse.If they wanna do business internationally they can afford to hire an accountant.

    Information on this is extremely intransparent however, so this might be wrong.

    It's not "extremely intransparent", it's just a little complicated.And accountants are really cheap for small businesses.
