Etsy IIRC is not meant to be a general marketplace: it’s meant to be for handmade or flea-market vintage type stuff.

They then have to turn that into hard rules, and one of them is you can’t just manufacture stuff and turn around and sell it: manufactured stuff has to be old enough, and I think they have a particular year.

3D printing is a lot like manufacturing, and a little like making by hand. The more people use it like manufacturing, the less Etsy will want to have it.

X11 was never great.

(Like seriously, it’s nothing but config files you have to edit from the local console shell and and proprietary stuff from nvidia that misbehaves, all the way down. Always has been.)

Just because someone does something instead of fighting a war doesn’t make whatever they actually did do right. They could also do neither thing. Especially if the alternative to war turns out to not actually achieve the goal the war would have achieved, leaving them in the same position of deciding whether to do a bad thing or not, after having already done another different bad thing.

I didn’t ask whether it was better or worse than declaring a war; it’s clearly less bad than starting a war.

But that doesn’t mean it’s right. Maybe doing neither a war nor sanctions, but something else, or nothing, is the right thing to do.

Does that work?

Is it right to tell random people “hey you, it’s your job to break local laws and topple your dictator, we could invade you with actual trained military people but that would be inconvenient for us”?

Has anyone ever seen a “woman from birth”? Like a whole-ass adult woman popping out of somebody not appreciably larger than her? Ready for a beauty pageant at zero minutes old?

Completely independent of gender, people should know that “women” are adults and have zero overlap with “children” or especially “newborn infants”.

Or is this a bad translation from the Italian?
