A potentially overzealous cease-and-desist email to the OrcaSlicer fork developer, Pawel Jarczak, by Bambu Lab, is not playing out well on social media, with YouTube giants such as Gamers Nexus and Louis Rossmann weighing in on what they feel is unfair behavior.
I was a bit conflicted with the success of Bambu because they indicated their consumer hostility somewhat early on. I’d much prefer that for a company that furthers the ecosystem and encourages openness like Prusa or Ultimaker.
Bambu kept making super compelling products though. I’m hoping that they see this as an opportunity to repent and reshape the company. It feels like they’re more likely to dig in their heels. Luckily this controversy is before they could really establish monopoly like Adobe.
Fuck them. It will never come back, not where it counts.
That said, the only monopoly I truly don’t understand is Acrobat. It’s the worst piece of software I have to deal with on an enterprise level, and on its surface it seems so fucking simple to replace. Where are the competitors?
A reddit user mistook the sub freeuse (kink porn) for free use software and without reading the sidebar or having one look at the content asked what he could (free) use to edit a PDF file. The community responded very wholesome and with actual software recommendations.
Those are the things I miss from reddit. This, and with rice, and bitch Jenny and all the other weird meta stuff.

That question belongs to r/freeuse!
How do I use the r
It’s a dumb joke from the ancient times.

Huh, you lost me, but thanks for taking the time. It would be a cold day in hell before that happened today lol
