  • Not a mistake, I’ve got an ender 3 and a cr10. Both are fine, keep your expectations realistic and calibrate each axis, especially the extruders. Use PLA, consider getting a new build plate if your prints won’t stick. I recommend flashing firmware on the ender 3 unless you know what was loaded onto it last, doesn’t have to be fancy firmware just something you know for sure is configured for your printer. A cr10 should probably get firmware as well but I never loaded new firmware on mine and the controller is older so I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.

    Don’t forget the cost of filament, if you print a lot you may spend more on filament in a year that your printer budget.




  • Resentment is usually a feeling which has little to do with ethics.

    Actions are more easily analyzed for ethical value.

    I guess that you’re considering the action of showing resentment by being absent or cold to them.

    From a utilitarian perspective this could serve the purpose of communicating your resentment indirectly which may increase the overall good by preventing this scizsm from infiltrating other parts of your life and others. On the other hand this outcome is not guaranteed.

    If you apply value ethics of your actions it really depends on what ideals you hold yourself to.

    If you take a completely honest person as your ideal, direct communication is probably more ethical than indirect communication, but indirect communication would still be superior to deceiving them into thinking you agree with them in any way.

    Instead, you may idealize an honest pacifist who would value indirect communication higher than direct if direct would also come with conflict.

    These are my thoughts, I am by no means an expert in ethics.








  • It’s terribad, the only glimmer of hope is web assembly and the related apis, but ultimately it’s just adding another layer to the onion that will eventually have sensitive data and important interfaces to protect and require yet another layer on top.

    Also it’s a sneaky way of exploiting foss without contributing back.
