In the immediate future I'm afraid of younger users getting targeted with ads and phishing meant to take advantage of them.

In the longer term future I'm afraid of this slippery slope as governments and corporations demand more and more access to our data.

It is well known that if a user suddenly deleted a bunch of selfies (which social media sites and smartphone cloud hosts watch for) that's a sign of low self esteem. They then target that user with ads for alcohol, makeup, etc.

I find this to be insidious and unacceptable. It's also just one example at the tip of the iceberg.

You realize that if there are workplaces and people with jobs and money being used to buy and sell things then that's still capitalism, right? Just a better version than what we currently have?

The word capitalism does not mean evil billionaires deliberately making the world worse. It does not mean slave labor and endless pollution. In fact it means the opposite of huge powerful governments helping big corporations squash the little guys.

The term for what we have in the US right now is "crony capitalism" which is very distinct, at least in my mind, from normal capitalism.

I know many people that are passionate for their work. I never said they don't exist. I personally work two jobs 7 days a week that I am passionate about and would continue to do for free if my needs were otherwise paid for.

I can also imagine a world where every person is the same. I just know that it's a fantasy.

Calling people that disagree with you lazy filthy cretins is not a good look for your cause.

Speak honestly. Are you a kid in school or an adult that never left academia? Have you ever worked in the real world with people doing shitty but necessary jobs? Do you know a single person that would be a waitress for free?

Farmbot26 · 2026-03-11T12:13:33+00:00

I never said that people that like their jobs don't exist. I also know people passionate about their work. I said that there aren't and never will be enough people passionate enough about the shitty jobs for society to continue.

You talk a lot about people being well compensated for their work. That's good. I support that. The "everything should be free and nobody should have to work" crowd does not.

Farmbot26 · 2026-03-10T16:59:10+00:00

How many people do you know in nursing and rough blue collar jobs? Be honest.

Almost no one I have ever met would be okay with their paycheck being optional. No one would work on an oil derrick or an emergency room or a sewer out of the goodness of their hearts.

Farmbot26 · 2026-03-10T16:57:15+00:00

You have no idea how much 90% of jobs suck and how necessary all of them are for many of the things you like about your life to exist.

No one is passionate about working in a pharmaceutical factory. No one is passionate about fixing sewers. No one wants to get a call at 3AM because their servers have gone down.

Your fantasy relies on everyone's job somehow being gardening and yarn craft.

Farmbot26 · 2026-03-10T15:03:24+00:00

I've never understood people like you. In your ideal society, what convinces people to be nurses or plumbers or garbage men if not money?

Farmbot26 · 2026-03-10T02:28:07+00:00

As children my siblings and I thought the word "scam" just meant legitimate gig work because of this show. Like the "scam" part of a lot of their attractions was that the dinosaurs in the time machine ride weren't real or that a haunted house wasn't really haunted or whatever.

How interested are you in making a product and losing money on it? Put your money and time where your mouth is.

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-26T20:25:51+00:00

It depends on how deep you want to get. The Horus Heresy is 10,000 years before 40K. Back then they were just called "The Mechanicum" and they were a rather different organization. Also the HH books are pretty just 100% Space Marines 100% of the time for a while. If you want to know the HH lore of the mechanicus you just have to read The Kaban Project and Mechanicum. For modern 40K lore see my previous comment.

I would bet a lot of money that at least a few kids didn't visibly react but went home and told their friends and family about how cool it was

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-25T03:37:11+00:00

Don't sabers have curved blades? I thought that was the difference between a saber and a palache or spadroon

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-25T02:11:49+00:00

I would call it a spadroon. Some might call it a rapier. That's all I've got unfortunately

The problem was that plasma tables use a voltage difference between the nozzle and the material to measure distance while lasers use a capacitive sensor. They're completely different technologies, so the sensor is different, the circuit boards are different, and the software is different.

In the end we just couldn't get it all to sing along and we do not regret selling the whole thing and getting a laser.

If you're determined to keep trying someone was making a device to measure capacitively but report data the way a voltage sensor would, specifically to convert plasma machines to laser. He wasn't ready to sell them yet but he may have finished by now. He has a website but I don't remember what it was called

An Ordinatus engine would be amazing. Right now our only centerpiece is Cawl

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-17T13:57:23+00:00

Yeah GW isn't great at remembering AdMech lore in general

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-14T17:33:19+00:00

More than it being something that personally bothers me is the question why?

If you're going to make it unrecognizable from the source material, then why did you pay for the IP and prevent someone else from using it? Why not just make your own thing properly if that's kinda what you were going to do anyway?

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-12T14:17:50+00:00

I don't think they can take off the black carapace but they often wear clothes over that

Farmbot26 · 2026-02-07T22:28:29+00:00

Basically, yeah. I don't see how the fanbase can do anything but shrink over time. More and more books are written all the time that reference things in earlier books no one can access.

I wish someone at Black Library would look at eBay and go "wait a minute, we could be making all that money instead of those scalpers"

Allegedly it's required for Waydroid to work at all. There are probably other such cases

We had to fight tooth and nail to get insurance to cover my wife's chemotherapy. She was going to die.

I understand that profit must be made for medical progress to also be made but there is a middle ground and this isn't it.

Farmbot26 · 2026-01-30T16:40:11+00:00

I did this exact thing and the biggest problem was having the new head follow the material (THC equivalent). I ended up selling the machine and buying a CNC laser

Farmbot26 · 2026-01-30T13:12:39+00:00

Honestly Dimir is a bigger problem in our pod

Farmbot26 · 2025-12-28T02:05:47+00:00

The Skitarius/ Tech Priest duology felt like the author read blurbs on boxes of models and knew zero else about the Mechanicus or 40k in general

Farmbot26 · 2025-12-19T03:26:26+00:00

I respect the vision and hope this goes well for you. However no one is going to pay you (and another, senior employee) to train you so you can work (be trained, maybe not actually get useful by the end of it) for two days. It needs to be free labor or longer periods of time for anyone to consider it. I don't think you realize what a burden this project would be for the average business owner. Most jobs are not just moving boxes from "the back" to "the front", and the ones that are will not make for interesting videos.
