RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

The problem with tech is that it doesn’t directly serve the users interests. It also serves the interests of business.
You can’t really serve two masters as the saying goes, so tech tends to prefer business over the individual which isn’t very healthy.
I've taken a deep dive into 3d printing. The tech moves at a slow but steady pace and it's one of the few tech related things I'm aware of that feels like it's a real user community movement still. Drones to some degree are getting this feeling too, but a bit more commercial crap there still.
Maybe because there is no end product from 3D printing business can take and wreck havoc with. I mean at leadt my 3D printer almost solely was used to make my 3D printer better :-)
