VSCode's plugin architecture is a security nightmare and an extremely juicy target for supply chain attacks.

Does Zed address this in any meaningful way?

Squidmar has a great video on how high res resin printer are actually too accurate for painting and can actually result in inferior models.

There is a sweet spot between FDM and 4k resin printers that is perfect for painting.

No, CSS sucks because its abandonware wrapped in legacy api bullshit.

Web frontend as a whole is a dog chasing its tail.

Its a goldmine for social engineering, has come in handy personally a few times.

I got downvoted like mad for suggesting that HN is a marketing outlet for YC.

The people who frequent this forum think they are immune to astroturfing because they all work in ad tech.

WH40k is a pretty garbage game.

It frequently results in turn 1 wins before you even get to play.

Competitive 40k is even worse.

There are way better tabletop games that are actually fun.

I dont play GW games anymore aside from Mordheim (discontinued), because frankly GW is a shitty company that I dont want to support.

Their entire business model is predatory, they nerf armies and then release new models all the time, the rules are monetized and outrageously expensive, and they are litigious to the point of taking down youtube channels in order to prop up their shitty streaming service.

There are so many better games that have embraced 3D printing and are actually fun to play.
