This was only 450 request used out of my 1500. So basically triple it for a month. The common folk have officially been priced out.
Edit: someone pointed out that this says 1350 PRUs so this is likely from last month’s requests.
There were good reasons it was taken down, you just don't see them.

The reason I'm posting this here is because I've been explicitly told that if I post in the Beyond All Reason subreddit, I would be banned for it. In fact, quick update... I am now banned...
Anyway, the loved RTS Beyond All Reason has had a leak exposing a hidden plan.
A project that took something like 100+ volunteers to create is now going to go into the hands of five people to control. A leaked internal document admits, in their own words, that "the BAR organisation is and will be a for-profit venture"
It also admits that player donations were already used to pay legal and corporate setup costs for that for-profit company, and the team says they "were never fully comfortable with that."
When a community member asked directly whether the GPL even allows this kind of arrangement, an admin replied "this is being discussed with the team."
A new single-player campaign gets built with publisher money and sold on Steam as a paid product. The free multiplayer gets shipped on Steam as a demo of the paid game. The website launcher stays alive as the real free version off to the side. To anyone browsing Steam, BAR becomes a commercial product.
Ownership is planned to sit with five admins, not the wider contributor base.
There is a public GitHub issue where a senior developer acknowledges that personally-owned proprietary assets have been mixed into the shipping game for years.
Past contributors, including people behind Spring Engine and Balanced Annihilation work used by BAR, appear to get no automatic ownership, payout, or revenue share.
Is it legal? Maybe. Building paid content on top of a free engine is how id Software ran the Doom and Quake business.
There needs to be a real public discussion about this move but we won't get that unless we say something...
In the beginning, the desktop won't launch and mobo shows Q Code 00.
I replaced the current ram with new rams, then tested my SSD and GPU on the old platform they are all working.
Finally I took my CPU out, and saw the dark area in the middle, same as the mobo cpu slot. The damage on CPU and CPU Slot looks familiar, I think I saw them on Reddit before, but that's for older b650 mobos data points.
I think I'd have to use my old platform for now, and hope it won't take long for RMA.
I bought the Mobo in December 2025, and CPU at the same time, so the only good news is they are still under warranty.
The whole build is: Mobo: Rog X870E APEX (DEAD)
CPU: 9800X3D (DEAD)
GPU: Red Devil 6800XT
RAM: Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2X32GB) 6000MHZ CL30
Also tested Ram Corsair Vengeance 32GB Ram 6400mhz cl36 RGB
SSD: T Force Creator PCIE 4.0 1TB; Kingston PCIE 4.0 1TB; 970EVO 2TB; 860EVO 1TB
Cooler: Thermalright PS120SE
PSU: Super Flower Leadex III Gold 850 Watt
I didn't change the VSOC voltage, so I think it's running on the default voltage for December 2025 bios, the only thing I changed in BIOS is change the ram from 4800Mhz to 6000 Mhz CL30.

this is about AB2047, A2228, and Bill 2321.
Bills that would require 3d printers to implement techology to detect if you are printing firearm parts.
manufactures would have to implent this on a hardware and software level, and not doing so means you cant sell your printer in that state
selling, modfying or transerfing a printer without this tech would be illegal. consituting a fine or possibly jail time
and as it stands, Bambu is in the best place to comply with this out of the gate, and undoubtably, brands that are open source first, would refuse sell in these states, if not the country
already this is over 70 million people that would lose access to these kinds of printers.
so if you're going to be an advocate for open source like this, Gn needs to be a part of seriously talking about these bills.
Drafted April–May 2026. Section IV updated May 7 to reflect the Saudi airspace denial that materialized between drafting and publication. Section II updated May 9 to reflect the UAE's confirmed OPEC exit (announced April 28, effective May 1, 2026). The framework predicted the pattern that produced the events. That's part of why I'm publishing now rather than waiting for further refinement. Anyone reading this after the next few news cycles should know the analysis was assembled before the confirmations, not after.
A note on what this is. This paper is analytical. It is not a call to action. The point is to give a structural account of what is happening, so people stop interpreting separate symptoms as separate problems. I am not telling you what to do about it. I do not have the solution. The structures that are failing are bigger than any one person, and pretending otherwise would be exactly the dishonesty this paper is trying to refuse.
What I can offer is a framework. If it lands, the rest of the reasoning follows on its own. After that, the call to action is someone else's job. Mine is just to clear the ground.
The thesis, in one sentence. The structure that has organized global economic and political life for three generations is in late-stage decline, the decline is structural rather than cyclical, and it will keep failing because the conditions that produced it no longer exist.
