Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.
Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.
As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.
To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you're left with just the newly formed plastic.
But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they're reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.
This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.
Gold Rush = high demand = invest in (aka buy) shovels
Same thing, no?
During/after natural disaster, buy cheap land. Probably works during an economic crash too.
Protests & Riots happening? Invest in glass companies
Cloudy & rainy every day? Sell coffee (looking at you PNW)
War happening? Just sell bombs! (see USA) This one is particular good cause you can always start another war. It's just smart business!
Or the pirates
I'm hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.
For now... Do you really think they're immune to enshitification if they become more popular?
I didn't get the Picasso until I saw some of his paintings in person. What's even crazier is that he mastered realism by like 10yrs old and thought it was too easy.
Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS
I agree that 'Modern Web' perhaps isn't the best word to describe the image.
It's more like the userbase. If all the terribly invasive ads were visible, most people would leave those sites and it would all crumble.
Reddit has the same issue. People will post an article in like 6, somewhat related subreddits and the feed would be quite repetitive.
