You do know that BPA-free just means they use BPS or some other bisphenol plasticizer, right? Right? Because all of the research was focused on BPA and nobody tested BPS even though they're quite similar chemically.

You just can't polymerize plastics without a plasticizer. It's just not allowed by chemistry. No free lunch.

If you want something that's not going to leach huge amounts of plasticizers onto your fingers, use an inkjet or a laser toner printer or a laser marking machine.

They don't really make those for receipts, though, because fingers tend to be wet and powdered toner is expensive.


There are alternatives like Blue4est available, though. They don’t use bisphenol or other chemical developers.


Is this entire account just performance art?

"I Pretended To Be The Most Insufferable Maintainer in Open Source and Everyone Hated Me For It"?


[flagged]


If I donate $100 to your ko-fi will you stop bullying me?


ngl that's a good answer.

You've nailed it. It is clearly deliberate but also could be the result of a markov chain and it sits right in the middle.

I like that. Good art, thanks.


The brownshirts will never get my money.


lol, enjoy torturing yourself to stick it to the man to save literally $24 a year cost of Global Entry.

won't the baby feel dis-abled by only having two arms?


On the other hand - the baby will from the beginning develop an instinct to keep track of 6 hands flying around instead of just 2. Will help in future street fights :)

In general, looking at the AI coding agents i think we all either already feel or soon will feel disabled. And honestly i think human race with its perception of itself as the "top of the Creation" is due for a modesty lesson to help speed up the evolution. We're spending tremendous resources unproductively, be it wars or just ineffective economies, etc. We don't feel the urge to develop our civilization and to evolve ourselves in all aspects - from mental and biological to cyber-integration. The Mother Nature doesn't like such relaxed species.


Are you suggesting baby exoskeletons?


This game is going to make some people commit suicide because it's rigged such that you always lose.

Reality is not so simple. There are always ways you can change your life or your job that don't require you to hurt yourself.

You should think more deeply before publishing something like this


Fun fact, everyone IRL loses the game, eventually.


Is there a preferred CI pipeline for Genode?


Oh, that's an interesting idea that could unlock a bunch of potential use cases.

If it's fairly easy to get working as part of a CI pipeline, that would let people and projects automate building their software for it. That'd be super useful for enabling adoption. :)


You must not drop it on the front corners


How is the average reader to know whether you're an entirely average person or an eight-sigma indoors dweller who never goes hiking, never asks another person to take a photo of you, never does any sports...


sub hundred gigaflop counts as "fairly powerful" now?
