Luddites weren’t concerned about the printing press. Their fight was over mechanized looms and knitting frames.
Their concerns were mostly about losing their jobs, as well as the absolute dog shit quality the mechanical machines produced at the time.
In 1814, printers in London did have similar conniptions over the steam press, though.

The luddites had a point.
They weren’t opposed to technology, but the use of technology to remove skilled labor to produce inferior products.
Also, the pilot/autopilot argument is, kinda not applicable. The pilots aren’t just fucking around- autopilot systems only manage some aspects of flying, the pilots are still fully engaged.

I wouldn’t suggest petting that bite. It’ll take a chunk.

It’s important to note that fax machines aren’t point-to-point either. Your data is still passing through someone else’s switches (probably fewer hops, mind.) and then there’s the physical security on the other end to wonder about.
The last fax I saw was in high school and it was left out for any one to grab documents from. (Well. Inside the school library right near the librarians desk.)(she had a somewhat unearned reputation for being terrifying, so, you’re mileage might carry there.)

Yeah. I guess that checks out.
I bet you could make lots of money introducing them to the copy machines that can also automatically scan and email documents…

Please tell me I’m not the only 90’s kid that air guitars to the 52k dialup.

for people wondering, this was on a 3d printer…

The just added a high res image or whatever rather than scaling it up. Someone probably fixed it in their spare time.

It stopped for me, when I discovered functionality. At about an inch big.

Kde’s mouse growing big is actually useful though.
Ever lose your mouse? Just a wiggle- which is an action I take anyway to find it- and it gets easier to find, for a moment.
Lets me make the mouse tiny.

You know, if some one created an in-terminal Pac-Man game to play during the update, that’d be awesome.
If your emac is running… you should probably go catch it.
