Bambu Lab will have a different option in the US than the rest of the world when it comes to purge due to a lawsuit. A version of -software- that makes a machine do something that others do not have to do. If you've been following bill AB2047, does this resonate with you? youtu.be/iBwSZNItLdA?...

Just before seeing this post I read @doctorow.pluralistic.net thread on how *small p" politics (which you have been doing such a great job with fighting AB2047 David) is so much more important and foundational than the "big P" politics. It's right on point!

Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.

Two suffragists in period dress, ceremonially putting ballots into a ballot box. The background has been replaced with an elaborate collage of 19th C printing-press parts. The ballots are glowing with radiant spikes. The face of the ballot box has been replaced with an Nvidia Vera Lynn GPU.

I'm sad AB2047 passed in California. Why do they only want to target detecting if a printed model is firearm component and not detect if the intent is evil. Deadly knifes and malicious prongs can still be printed and used to kill people. I hoped the local gov would enforce ill will detector.

So of course AB2047 passed.

Thankfully I think a lot of the teeth of the bill got knocked out but still.

Glad to know one of my bad decisions from earlier this year (the P2S) just got validated.

If you already own a printer, keep that shit running. Forever.

If they were paranoid nutcases they wouldn't have to turn up to hearings to argue that shapes can't have intent to try to prevent California legislators from accidentally mandating tracking software on all 3D printers that scans intellectual property. 🤷‍♀️
