On today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.

Republicans be Pro-2A until the rich are threatened.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"

It's funny how everyone has a sacred quote in support of their own beliefs.

Reminds me of those jokingly exaggerated portrayals of Muslims arguing on something, where in one place in Quran the prophet said this, and in another place the prophet said that, and such a renowned theologist interpreted the confusion thus, and another one a different way.

Everything humans make turns into a religion. Asimov got it backwards, that the Foundation could use their advantage in knowledge as a religion for barbarians, but IRL the Foundation itself wouldn't be able to control it all becoming religion.

I mean, OK, the Foundation evolved there, and their practices backfiring on them were one of the reasons, something had to be changed. I hope real life analogues have some plans for that.

I like to use quotes because they're less likely to be misinterpreted than my own words saying the same thing.

"Property is theft!"

β€” Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"Experience demonstrates that there may be a wages of slavery only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other."

β€” Frederick Douglass

At some point I could allow that Proudhon can be right in that quote, in something accordingly built.

Then I realized that property is unavoidable, even not in our current specific sense, any resource attachment to a consumer is property.

Sides in which should be responsible for their actions, for a society to be self-regulating in any way.

And only a human can be responsible, a real human, not a construct like a group or a company. And responsibility can't be passed on.

Initially I thought this is right-wing thought, until I also realized that, 1) today's financial mechanisms can't exist with these rules, they involve plenty of responsibility sharing and shifting, 2) the right-left arguments remaining after adopting these rules are limited to the status of gifts and inheritance, as in - can you possibly inherit what another person, even your parent, made, and can one gift a property without the tail of responsibility, which would be all of their personal responsibilities.

I guess the typical marxist idea of separation of personal and private property (the former is fine, the latter is not) is in practice good enough to be combined with these for some clear set of rules. The border is arbitrary (just like dividing people into classes and calling some instruments means of production and some not), but so is every border.

Anyway, what I meant was that you referred to authority. You could have quoted an explanation why everyone should be armed, instead you quoted a direction.

Rich Republicans tbh. For the poor ones it's when race or "the gays" gets involved,.

tl;dr printers got cheaper

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And they wirk with more than plastic. I have had that conversation several times. People honestly think all 3d printers can do is cheap plastic.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

What else do they work with?

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Metals, catbon fiber but I heard thise nozzles wear out fast. One printer i saw used lasers to weld metal powder into shapes layer by layer.

Some mad scientist in Scotland claims to have gotten his printing stem cells. He's trying to figure out how to print replacement organs that have no chance of rejection

[–] LapGoat@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago

biocompatible bone too

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Oh yeah, I forget about sintered metal printers. Which is funny because that's one of the first ones I saw.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Carbon fibre is a big one.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
