No, dude, open source and more specifically GPL is intended to keep things open and accessible to everyone and out of control of monopoly actors, not to drive state of the art.

Can you agree on not stealing? That's the equivalent of what BL is doing.

Dude, the only reason you can be a maker is because of the many hours of work provided by the open source community. The very same one your support is trampling on since it's in favor of a company profiteering from them. All because you don't want to be inconvenienced.. Educate yourself on the issue and start having some respect.

Bambu Labs is completely ignoring their legal duties under the AGPL code they used while trying to make others comply to their licensing terms through abuse of the legal system.

Nobody forced them to use said code, they chose to when it was in their best interest and now they renege on the part in the license (the only thing that gives them a right to use and build on said code) when they deem it not in their interest any longer and think they're big enough to squash individuals protesting.

Nothing wrong there, right, chairman?

Won't they just be able to identify the traffic at his local internet provider as being suitable for a VPN usage match and send 'law enforcement' over?

You can actually act rationally on fake, imagined and fraudulent data.

They're not afraid because they know eventually it would culminate into a 0 - instant - "you win the game." card in the end. ;-)

When in doubt: choose your kids. Hours in deficit only compound when stability and familial love is concerned.

You obviously use 2 precisely configured screwdrivers, so one screwdriver can hit the other when the nail requests it, like a multilevel cache.

Isn't tinnitus what you might get from eardamage from excessive sustained volume and such? Wouldn't ANC headphones be the counter to that?

Probably because they googled 'list of html template creators ' and this was that which came out as a result on some random site they got presented as the first link.

Depends on the work bubble you're in, I've definitely seen places where following asinine rules tempted getting shit done because of the power of gave the enforcer and the disconnect they had themselves from the results of success.

Mostly.gov but some private places that are big enough without true oversight as well
