  • Monitization doesn’t have to be so painful. You make it sound like it’s a very natural evolution. There’s some serious greed involved here. The shift from growth / investment doesn’t have to progress into such a squeeze for users. Reddit isn’t aiming to operate on margins. If the nerds were in charge the goal would be to cover development, costs, and upkeep while paying hard working people fair salaries. The goal is pure profit maximization now. The people behind these changes aren’t hiding much. Spez isn’t a well meaning genius trying to keep his coffee cup full while he codes. He’s a corporate shill piece of shit. I don’t buy these apologetics.














  • Depends on your dishwasher. Even in top rack after a couple of washes PETG it warped for me on standard wash. If you run a dry cycle or sterilization cycle on your dishwasher forget it. If its anything precise (I printed a lid with threads) a single standard wash is enough to ruin precision with subtle warping. Also the dishwasher can introduce moisture into gaps created by printing that can grow mold or bacteria. I think we would all love better options for dishwashable printed materials, but I would argue PETG is not really it.



  • By that argument the time was a long time ago then. Vivaldi still works with uBlock so nothing has changed on their end. I think it’s still reasonable to use Vivaldi until they are forced to Manifest 3. Despite being Chromium based they’ve always been privacy focused and vocally pro ad blocking. As far as the cult of Firefox, they’ve been showing their true colors lately. They are no saints and their biggest funder is Google. Never forget to follow the money. I’m not personally convinced that a switch on a purely ideological level is indicated.
