To be fair, the hardware is pretty phenominal. The whole trying to lock customers into their ecosystem after they felt enough people had purchased their products was a whole next level of scummy though. We must be vigilant as a community in not letting them creep in antifeatures now they’ve backtracked. I keep mine in LAN only mode and will be switching to Orcaslicer as soon as the flatpak hits Flathub which should be soon.

The world has felt like it’s ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I’m not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.

I’m a .world user just because it had a lot of users when I signed up, but I’ve seen some hate thrown at it recently. Is there a legit reason I should consider switching to another instance, or is it just hyperbole? If I did, would I be able to migrate my account and its post/comment history (not that I really have much of a history at all, I just lurk mainly) or would that be stuck on .world forever?
