many parking spaces actually got converted to charging stations. and when building new parts of the city they could’ve taken the demand for parking into account.

i agree that there are too many cars in the cities, but actively taking away parking isn’t how you solve that problem. that just makes people hate your political party.

solving problems like this requires an actual alternative that is as comfortable as a car to use. then people will willingly give up their cars because there is no need.

i don’t like bamboo printers very much, just because of the closed ecosystem. the printers themselves are really good, besides being loud.

i would like to switch to a different CAD program, but i couldn’t figure out freecad for the life of me. fusion is still my go-to.

thangs is my primary hosting site, just because zack freedman started gridfinity on there. and at the time, thingiverse was almost unusable from my perspective. never really tried printables tho.

you are the problem here.

i have and ender 3 pro as well as an ender 3 max. after a PEI coated bed and a second cooling fan, the ender 3 pro curns out the best sub-300€ benchies you’ve ever seen.

a friend of mine has a 3V2, and it has all the mods i would’ve done to a 3 pre-done.

for budget printers like the ender series, it’s a skill issue most of the time. so teach newbies how to use cheap printers, of course it isn’t plug and play. you paid 200€ for it.

i’m really into cars, and want to own (maybe modify) an MR2 1st gen.

problem is: the german government is trying its best to make owning a car impossible or unattractive.

nowadays you have to pay 1.90€ a litre of gas and rent a parking space (the ones that used to be free get converted to charging stations for BEVs or are only for people who live near it)

getting a license has been increasing in cost for a while now, and we’re at the point where it’s up to 5000€ (i have one already, but it’s increasing the barrier of entry)

modifying the cars is also basically illegal, i won’t get into it here though. the comment is long enough.

additionally, the only political party that’s worth voting (in my opinion) is increasingly making cars the national enemy and is trying to introduce a speed limit on the autobahn.

so the frequent occurence is basically incompetent politicians fucking over the consumer, giving right-wingers even more fuel.

Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita

has slight pedo vibes tho.

everything that isn’t my main machine runs linux. my old laptop from 10 years ago, a PC made of my old rig’s parts i use as a NAS and jellyfin server, and i almost got my brother to install linux on his thinkpad.

you and my dad both. he’s been using it forever

ex-GX user here. i do not miss chrome.

yeah, on android it’s kind of a pain. but being able to use extensions is insanely good.

i’m using a 3070 currently, my next GPU will 100% be AMD.

maybe they have it mapped to enter, you never know with laptop linux users.

i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.

how do people actually play this?

i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.

it’s just so… stale

i our household it definetely is. selling stuff on ebay or returning packages is most of what we use it for, and 200-300€ plus 10-20€ in ink bottles every year or so will eventually be cheaper too.

not saying you have to buy one for yourself, it’s just worth the money for many people.

brother certainly has a good reputation, but i’ve been using an epson ecotank for a couple years now.

once the 18000 page self-brick counter goes off, i’ll try to reset it. if that doesn’t work, i’ll definetely try getting a brother laser printer. i print B&W most of the time anyways.

they’ll send you a replacement, but they take weeks to reply

i second getting a fairphone, but look into a second battery or a power bank for heavy use.

Fairphone 4 user here, i love it. but ghost touch keeps coming back, i’m on my second screen now.

i daily a Fairphone 4, has neither the best camera nor the best battery life. but it’s the most repairable and durable phone i’ve owned.

i’ve had extremely good experieces with oneplus phones, dunno about custom ROM support though.

i’ve also heard good things about modern motorola phones, if the ROM support is there it’s worth a shot imo.

there’s still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn’t been moved in years. probably for the best.

same, haven’t strayed from standard firefox since it does what i want just fine.
