Not really “optional”, but more like the court knows they can’t stop the book from existing or being produced, as that would be actual censorship. This is an attempt to limit its reach and pretend it doesn’t exist, like the shadow banning on most social media whenever you say sex, fuck, death, shit or other bad-bad no-no words.

Damn, if only AI could come up with something so futuristic for us

Thanks for the input, once I’m home I’ll sand the interior walls a bit and maybe add a thin layer of resin and cure in order to leave it smooth.

I’ll also look into getting something to better grind the paper, as I used a “retired” hand blender after I left the paper on hot water for a couple of hours. The paper kept getting stuck in the upper dome, making the blades useless.

With a 2 part mold, you do some holes for the water on what will be the back side of your tile and you should be good.

I made 3 part because I need some details on what will be the top of the piece, little seams to show the separation of each hex, as well as the thinner walls on the bottom. I did try 2 part molds before, but getting it off the mold was near impossible most of the time. Like this, I can just push the piece off. Currently, only the presser has holes for the water, should I add it to the bottom piece, too?

The thick walls are to endure the pressure and reduce warping, though maybe they could be thinner? I tested adding some gypsum to the mixture, waiting for one piece to dry further and already figured that I have to remove from the mold before it hardens too much, otherwise it’ll end up stuck (that or I have to properly sand/fill the pieces like bluewing said above)

I’m betting the same opinion we have today about 3D TVs

Not american, so I don’t know what would be a local alternative to procreate. Seems like epoxy putty? Wouldn’t make much economic sense to me, those are more expensive than modelling clays and even more so than me recycling used paper and carboard into that thing.

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

Lack of interest from their part. Right now, they have nothing to gain, fediverse is “small fry”, and if the attacks could be traced back to them, they’d have to deal with the PR shitstorm

What is stopping corpos from scraping everyone’s posts and stuff from the fediverse and train their AI?

They’re probably already doing that

I hate it that you may be right

The moment I read “no transaction fees”, I immediately wondered why that would be listed as a feature. Turns out it’s because it uses crypto, though I don’t understand why. Free domain names?
