Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoOkay? What does that have to do with the drm mandate being easy to get around?
Is your point that it’s okay to put unenforceable, easily bypassed restrictions on stuff if you think they’re bad?

You can get around the DRM mandate with a bicycle. That doesn’t mean you’ve solved the underlying problem

Did you forget we were talking about 3d printers?
You compared the people making fun of the drm mandate to people making fun of car registration because you can build a kit car, implying that building a 3d printer was a nearly insurmountable hurdle.
Being able to trivially bypass the drm is exactly why it’s laughable.
Cars, bikes, or your dislike have nothing to do with the DRM mandate being toothless and stupid.

I genuinely think you might be talking to an LLM. Completely missing the analogy was one thing but supposedly being able to get around a 3D printer DRM with a bicycle is… an interesting proposition
