It means it was a joke

Somewhat, Windows does have an ARM build afterall

Guix doesn’t use systemd(it uses Shepherd)

Guix!!!

safely upgradable rolling released software

I’ve been tempted by Guix

Not really, other than banning those who disagreed publicly

Good idea, bad DSL and toxic community.

Watch the Strange Parts videos, I wouldn’t be too confident about that

I have an Ender 3, it works much better than this printer. Watch Strange Parts on YouTube, he was sent a review printer and couldn’t get it to print despite being on call with the inventor/CEO himself for hours to debug it. Also, Ender 3 had a fire risk with the bed power/PSU connector too.

From the CEOs perspective, doing this he can at least get the Kickstarter backers their money back since they likely couldn’t get the printer to a good state given all the issues.

The whole ecosystem here in the West doesn’t favour starting up. It’s not easy to do it in China either, but the whole supply chain is there (as such also the knowledge/support) and the business environment makes it more likely for it to happen there.

Agreed, and don’t forget how important it is how much cheaper skilled labor is in China.

feels like they weren’t all that committed to the cause.

They were in a very tough position, their printer was having major quality control issues, I think they probably needed money.

Yeah I was really disappointed when I tried Hyprland

I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree. To use your example, if my neighbor was smoking in a place that it was stinking up my bedroom, and I asked them to stop doing it there, and they were like “nah I like it here” I’d consider them a huge asshole. Just do it over there not by my bedroom or something.

Telling them they can’t smoke in their own home, or can’t ride public transit after smoking is ridiculous.

One confounding issue here is that fireworks affect a pretty big area. The whole neighborhood is probably going to hear them.

So does the smell of weed. That was a hypothetical example as luckily my neighbors don’t smoke, but my grandparents neighbors do, and it stinks up the car whenever I drive past that whole block- so it definitely is something that effects a large part of the neighborhood.

I’ve known people who live out in the woods that are big on “I do what I want on my property!”

I live in a city, I had an argument with my partner last night because he was against getting a fire alarm(not mandated in our country) because it could wake up the neighbors at night. Which I believe is a totally acceptable cost, but he does not.

Regardless, if one side was like “That’s really annoying to me, could you not please?” responding with “womp womp” is extremely rude and selfish.

It is narcissistic of me to assume something annoying me should influence the behavior of strangers, and get them to stop doing something. A lot of things annoy me, and I’m all for criticizing and complaining about them(I do that a lot)- but someone not caring about my complaints and continuing to do what they enjoy is their right, and they aren’t a bad person for not caring that it annoys me.

I’m sensitive to smells, we all recognize how unreasonable it would be for me to demand my neighbors don’t smoke weed because it bothers me at home, or I can smell cigarettes on the bus. Similarly, yes demanding people stop doing something they enjoy with their family because you have to wear headphones for a couple hours once or twice a year is something that I want to say “Womp womp” to

Buildings could be designed with limited usage of stairs

That’s not as simple as not liking it, that’s having a specific complaint. Which wasn’t what was said

I imagine that if you had a dog you wouldn’t be “womp womp” about torturing it two or three times a year.

Or if you had a friend with PTSD, you wouldn’t go out of your way to aggravate that a couple times a year.

These were not the arguments you presented. Those arguments I am more empathetic to. You said:

I don’t like the loud noises, the smoke, or the debris leftover.

To which I want to say “Womp Womp”

Stairs are relatively safe, tens of thousands of people still die from them every year.

I just think there are ways to get that besides blowing things up once a year

I mean, I think it’s good that people get to safely experience explosions, something most people probably wouldn’t experience in their lives otherwise.

“but I like them so I don’t see the problem and won’t stop”

Well yeah, when it’s 2-3 days a year it just makes me want to say “Womp Womp” about the complaints. Not everything has to be something you like
