GrapheneOS runs Google play services in a sandbox (rather than as a system level app) and randomizes the advertiser ID, IIRC.

People don't use GrapheneOS to avoid giving Google their money. They do it to protect their privacy.

Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won't boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.

The basis of classical libertarianism is the non-aggression principal, which basically means "don't harm others." Seems like that would include causing harm after you die. But modern libertarianism seems to have a very strange interpretation of that principal...

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Very true, at least at that level in politics.

That's disappointing. Maybe "modern libertarianism" would have been more accurate than "American libertarianism." According to Wikipedia, in the 1950's libertarianism was synonymous with liberalism, which seems to align much better with my interpretation.

I wonder if Penn's (old) interpretation of libertarianism was the same as mine.

I think you misunderstood my point. What you're referring to as "libertarianism" and "the Libertarian party" is what I referred to as "American libertarianism."

I don't believe true libertarianism exists in the USA. I agree with your point that the Democratic party most closely aligns with the theory of libertarianism. It sounds like you agree with the point I was trying to make, but maybe misinterpreted it.

Edit: I want to add that the Libertarian party in America doesn't follow the principal of non-aggression as I understand it.

It seems to me like American libertarianism isn't truly libertarianism - its focus is on freedom for capitalists, not freedom for people (corporations are not people). In theory, libertarianism is guided by the principal of non-aggression. Passing laws to fight climate change does not violate the principal of non-aggression, despite what the capitalists claim.

Depends on the company/team culture, I guess. Where I work, email is used for things that are important/formal but not urgent, Teams is used for things that aren't especially urgent or important, and video calls are used for things that are urgent (followed up by an email if it's also important).

It's considered rude to expect an immediate response to a Teams message, on my team.

Hard disagree. Prusas used to be completely open source. Now they merely have open source components. It isn't accurate to call them open source.

Would you call Windows or MacOS open source? Both Microsoft and Apple have made parts of their OS's open source, but that doesn't mean the entire product is open source.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Besides the others that were mentioned, Prusa is moving away from open source.

Or just leave the message unread until your next shift?

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
