Log out of social media, go outside, interact with real people. Life is not remotely as bad as all that, it just seems that way because social media has told you to be scared. Humans are extremely adaptable, we will overcome whatever the problems are.

I guess we just disagree on what doxxing is. When done correctly it's just someone's specific address or other info being posted publicly, it doesn't have to be associated with a call to violence it's more likely that people just stand outside his house with signs. It's also not targeted at a whole neighborhood. I can see why you're concerned that MAGA types won't be as careful with it, but they can be charged with crimes if they take it too far just like anyone else. Simply knowing where someone lives isn't a crime.

Linux users who haven't had a driver issue have simply gotten lucky but they confuse this result with technical skill. Sometimes your hardware works fine, sometimes it isn't supported. Unless you're writing the drivers yourself you didn't fix the problem you merely avoided it by happenstance.

Doxxing can be done correctly, and in this case it was. The guy literally opened the door and pepper sprayed someone, he clearly lives there. I agree it's important to target it correctly, and I too dislike when people erroneously target the wrong people with it (Boston Bomber Reddit Moment comes to mind).

Any other tool can be poorly used as well, people shouldn't stop concealed carrying because some other people hit innocent bystanders in the past with theirs. They should train and use force responsibly. Writing off an entire method of dealing with fascists because some morons have used it irresponsibly in the past is a reductive and silly take.

You sound like the type of guy to tell someone who is being shot at that they shouldn't shoot back because "two wrongs don't make a right". This guy should be glad he's just being doxxed, my grandpa's generation had no problem sending Sherman tanks with flamethrowers on them after people like him.

Instead of mocking people like this, us on the left really need to understand them and how to appeal to them better than Trump. Dude is a billionaire and managed to convince working people he's on their side. He's winning the populism game because no one else is even playing it. Time to beat him at his own game

Fuck that, I love this country and I'm not ceding it to a bunch of stupid bigots. They're the ones that should be leaving.

I also started with an Ender 3 and it taught me a lot but I am glad to have a little wizard machine now

Never understood the obsessive tinkerers, all that work to have something worse than a Bambu P1S. To each their own ig, I just see my printer as a means to an end I don't want to mess with it. I want to mess with the stuff I build with it

Best way I've seen to explain solar power and EVs to a right winger is tell them I don't have to fill my car with expensive Saudi oil, I make good clean American electricity when the sun hits my roof and I use it to drive around. If oil was worthless because we have better forms of power, we could stop caring what some Arab princes think we should be paying to drive to work.

Dude get off the Internet, real life is not full of violent strangers looking to start arguments. Go outdoors, meet some people, enjoy a nice hobby with them and stop watching internet ragebait
