I just had something like this happen when I was posting a macaroni recipe on Discord.
Folks assumed I was posting some bad stuff because Discord used recipes when they censor vile and virus-laden links, apparently.
Who knows how long people thought I was posting bad stuff; I love sharing recipes x.x
The 90's mentality of "Everyone on an Internet is a predator out to rob you or worse" left a mark on me-
I always use a fake name and innocuous, random profile pic if possible.
These daus you're still screwed if someone's that determined, but at least screw the corporations like this.
This is what I'm thinking.
Its a genuine miracle that this is such a small death toll in a major city like this.
One can hope this raises awareness to fracture critical (iirc the term?) bridges that are vulnerable to catastrophic failures
Well, this a great example for the ESL guy wondering if "Females" is offensive.
That one question from the Elder Scrolls class/Personality quiz was uncomfortably prescient:
Question 4: There is a lot of heated discussion at the local tavern over a group of people called 'Telepaths'. They have been hired by certain City-State kings. Rumor has it these Telepaths read a person's mind and tell their lord whether a follower is telling the truth or not.
Combat Response: This is a terrible practice. A person's thoughts are his own and no one, not even a king, has the right to make such an invasion into another human's mind.
Magic Response: Loyal followers to the king have nothing to fear from a Telepath. It is important to have a method of finding assassins and spies before it is too late.
Stealth Response: In these times, it is a necessary evil. Although you do not necessarily like the idea, a Telepath could have certain advantages during a time of war or in finding someone innocent of a crime.
It looks like the kids these days are all mana-slingers lol
Lol try being a Roguelike fan.
You correctly tell people that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a Roguelike and they look at you like you've grown a second head.
Sometimes this stuff happens, and there's basically nothing you can do about it.
This would be my guess- Reddit is more reliable for random queries than much of the internet, as AI propagates.
I see more and more suggested "my search Reddit" on Google even as I visit Redfit way less now
Whatever happened to internet etiquette?
You (or the person commissioning the book) ask before you do this kinda thing!
Etsy is supposed to carry the torch for that kinda small community vibe of mature adults making money from their side business.
These folks deserve to get a bit flamed, because this feels like 2009 drama we should have collectively figured out forever ago
"Keep Circulating the Tapes" of the current era
I mean, I know you're looking for piracy sources, but the 3D printing sphere is pretty much full of tech hippies.
This may go against the spirit of this server and all, but if you're just looking to print for personal use, there's a very real possibility that you can just ask.
I've hit up a few people before, stating that I wanted to print their STLs for my own personal use and sometimes they said no, but more than half the time, they just let me have it.
Usually something like:
"Hey, your project looks really great! I've been on a bit of a tight budget lately, but I do have my old printer and some filament lying around- would it be possible to get a copy of your STL files pro bono?
I would love to get my hands on it, and will definitely post a make to your page!"
(It definitely helps if you have some quality finished product images, so you're kinda free advertising for them)
I don't make the personal choice to pirate, (and I'm not here to judge) but I figured my kinda approach still may suit your needs.
I feel so bad for the younger folks these days.
Way back when, if Google couldn't find it and we did some good Google Fu, it probably wasn't readily available online.
Now, you know it probably is there, just buried in nonsense generated purely by layer after layer of people's selfishness. And they never even knew it could be any other way.
