That’s not fair, satanists are some of the kindest, most ethical people you are likely to meet.

I’ve been following them for a few years and they’ve been very transparent about their progress. They’re building their production-intent validation vehicles now, so unless there are any major flaws they can’t work out, shipping this year or next seems possible. The world needs a vehicle that costs nothing to operate — at least in places with a lot of sun like California.

Rivians are everywhere here in LA, but they seem to only be for the rich.

I’m keeping an eye on Aptera, a solar powered vehicle based in San Diego that may start delivering this year.

This is a neat project. You should consider moving this to Codeberg, though. Github is a serious risk for FOSS projects.

Here is a sloppy iPhone text copy from the photo, for anyone else having trouble reading on a small screen. OP, feel free to add this to your post to make it easy for others to read.

Hi Taylor,

Sorry for my late reply. We just came back from the Chinese New Year holiday.

Thank you for checking in. I really appreciate your patience.

I’d like to share a quick update regarding the S1 Max. At the moment, our promotion team is temporarily short on sample units, so the shipment has not yet been arranged. We are currently coordinating the second round of our promotion plan and reviewing allocation.

Additionally, I want to be transparent about one technical aspect: the 51 Max’s open-source structure is currently positioned similarly to the early-stage setup of the Kobra X. I understand that system openness can be an important consideration for you and your audience, so I’d love to better understand your expectations on this point before we proceed further.

Given the current timeline and product positioning, could you kindly let me know whether you would still be interested in moving forward once stock becomes available? Your feedback will help us better evaluate how to arrange the next step.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best regards. ANYCUBIC Marketing Specialist Anycubic Marketing Team

Hi l

I’m disappointed that it sounds like you’ve changed your review plan.

We’ve been in discussion for months.

It sounds to me that you didn’t like my feedback on the license violations for Kobra X.

The truth is that you are obligated to abide by the open source licenses of the software from which you borrow.

If you choose not to include me in your review plan because I took a stand on this topic, I don’t think that will reflect well on your brand

I included the feedback Esther gave on this topic in the video so my audience could hear your stance on this first hand.

I am still interested in moving forward but I’d like to see you change your strategy on this.

It’s not just important to me, it’s important to your customers too.

Thanks, Taylor

Update

Here is the text shown in the video when Taylor first contacted them about the licensing compliance.

Open-source compliance & ecosystem (firmware / slicer)

This is the part we most want to clarify carefully, because the current wording can come across as “we’re ignoring GPL,” which is not our intent.

Firmware:

For previous products (e.g., S1 / K3), we have already published the portions required under our GPL obligations. For this new product, the open-source release plan is currently being organized and reviewed internally We completely understand the expectation, it’s a new launch so it isn’t ready immediately, but we do plan to publish in the same way we did for S1/k3.

Slicer:

We are planning a modular open-source release aligned with GPL requirements. The current expected timeline is within ~one quarter.

So the key point we hope comes across is: we’re not dismissing GPL, we’re in the process of aligning the release for a new product, and we’re committing to publish as we’ve done previously.

We’d like you to make the necessary adjustments to the video content so that it visually and narratively reflects these points accurately

Thanks again, and genuinely, we respect the honest review approach. We just want to make sure the “facts” portions land correctly for your viewers.

If you don’t understand how existentially bad the problem is for FOSS, you aren’t paying attention.

Studies continue to show that AI routinely generates unsafe code and even human code reviews often don’t catch major problems. AI generated code should not be trusted or accepted and projects that accept them should be treated as compromised.

They are being downvotes because they are confidently misrepresenting almost every topic they talk about. There is nothing nuanced about it. It unironically reads like one my grandkids telling me a story about the fairies that live in their rose bush, but with none of the adorableness.

I looked through their history and can confirm that your post caught another one.

“They’re the same picture.”

If you are mainly gaming, Bazzite. For everything else, Fedora.

Franklin famously preferred older women.

You can use Winboat for running Word without dual booting. MS Office is Winboats ideal use-case.

Bash is in the epstein files!?

Good thing I use Fish.

That project looks great. If they ever move their code out of Github I would contribute.

There are few personality traits I respect more than that Diogenes energy.

I was caught making out with my girlfriend.

I should mention that this was an all-girl Catholic cult school in the early 80s. Not only was I expelled but my parents moved us to a different country because they were so ashamed.

Once the natives and descendants of slaves are paid reparations, there would be nothing left.

This is why the US chooses to kidnap and murder them, instead.

That depends. Being kind, compassionate, and open to learning are more important than anything else. “Dumb” is something that can be solved because it’s merely a lack of knowledge, which can be through no fault of their own. But if someone refuses to learn or grow, that’s not just being “dumb,” it’s being stubborn and toxic, which are signs that someone is naturally evil.

You can’t. The best indicator of human authorship at this point are mistakes like misspellings and poor grammar. The common advice — like looking for em-dashes — was garbage to begin with and has only become worse as LLMs evolve.
