Mechanismatic

Knowing the localization and the interaction of everything with each other would have helped me a lot and certainly saved time.

I guess this is the disconnect. I’ve assembled one, but I don’t feel like assembling one necessarily conveys this. The instructions just tell you which part to attach to which other part. It doesn’t explain why much of it is important or how it functions.

The other difference is that I haven’t upgraded any. I have some MK3S+ printers that I are likely to remain that way since the upgrades are so expensive and the process so laborious.

For personal use, I’m waiting on the CORE One from Printed Solid but it’s only available for education, government, etc at the moment.

I’d actually recommend the opposite. Unless you’re a DIY hobbyist who loves taking everything apart and you don’t want to print immediately upon receiving it, it’s worth it to buy the prebuilt Prusa. There are so many many steps in assembling a MK4S that there are that many steps to get something wrong. Better pay a few hundred extra to get one that has been assembled by a more experienced person. And I say that as a makerspace coordinator who works with a lot of 3D printers.

Assembly teaches you how incredibly complicated the assembly is. I’ve adjusted pre-assembled printers with minor inconvenience. But the first one you put together can take more than the estimated 6-8 hours.

Note: they dropped the 360. It’s just Autodesk Fusion now.

When one hard-boiled officer by the name of Benedict was asked to comment about the egg poaching, he said, “I don’t think this theft will go over easy.”

I had a point by point response, but I don’t think perpetuating this discussion is productive, so I’ll just leave you with the friendly advice that adopting a judgmental, nearly religious fundamentalist, and authoritarian approach to FOSS feels like it violates the spirit of FOSS itself and will likely be off-putting to even other FOSS enthusiasts, much less anyone you want to convince.

I’m not sure insulting people is the most effective way to win them over to your perspective.

You seem to attribute to character flaws what is more commonly just practical decisions.

Those are real reasons though.

• Familiarity
• More games/better gaming support
• Consistency with computers used at work/school or by friends/colleagues
• IT people can benefit from using the same systems as their users to provide better support
• Availability of proprietary software necessary to run specialized equipment
• Non-power users might not run into significant issues with Windows since it does basic tasks like web browsing, game playing, and movie watching just fine

Okay. Thanks. I’m already subscribed there. It’s sadly not as active as I’d like.

I’m not finding a cyberpunk community at dbzer0.

I’m subscribed to the goblincore community on blahaj.zone, but it’s only got two posts that I can see.
