I have a brother inkjet (AIO but I only ever really use the printer now) and a Samsung monochrome laser.

They both work tremendously well with Linux. Honestly printers are easier in Linux now than they are in Windows.

I’m 38, wife is 33. We both dreaded entering our 30s but we both agree it’s the best decade (so far).

This is one reason why I’d rather get delivery from DD/GH/UE instead of calling for delivery (if it’s even offered)…I don’t want to give my credit card over the phone.

I’d much rather do it through an established app/storefront (I.e. Square or Toast).

That, and anxiety. I really don’t want to talk about my pizza. Much rather press a button.

They have their place but I totally get you.

For example, when I’m planning a big home project, I want to watch a lot of DIY channels (plug for Home Renovision here) on the basic procedure.

But, if I’m repairing my dryer, I don’t want to be unlocking my screen, rotating, hitting play, watch a few seconds, pause, put it down, work, repeat. Just give me something I can print out ffs.

People go with the default “name brand” unless they have reason to think otherwise.

You search “Reddit” on the App Store, naturally most people are going to pick “Reddit” by “Reddit”. Not Apollo, or boost, or BaconReader, or RIF, or any other (absolutely amazing) third party app, unless they have some reason to think that it’s better than the official app. Which they don’t, unless someone told them otherwise, because they are conditioned to the cluttered ad-ridden garbage interface of new Reddit, and most people don’t need mod tools or accessibility features.

Agreed. American history is terribly white-washed.

Basically some dudes came over from England, Indians cooked them corn and turkey and everyone was happy. A few years later their descendants got mad at England, dressed up as the Indians and threw tea off a boat. Some shots were fired but we settled down over a piece of paper that guarantees freedom and guns for all.

Later you might learn that “all” means white land-owning males but eventually that got expanded and now we are al happy in the greatest country in the world (yes, that part is also taught), and every morning for 180 days of the year for 13 straight years we stand up and recite a poem about how much we love our country.

Maybe it’s changing, idk. I graduated the public school system 20 years ago. My kindergartener came home a few months ago saying he watched a video on MLK Jr in his class where they talked about his assassination. I thought that was a bit dark to go to in kindergarten but at least it’s talked about, even somewhat.

That that user was secretly Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein friend and co-conspirator. She got arrested the same day powermod /u/maxwellhill’s account went dark.

Mind you, this was /r/conspiracy territory, the same folks who paraded around Pizzagate, so take with a heaping scoop of salt.

Thanks, I had forgotten the details.

Kind of wonder if this adds any merit to the /u/maxwellhill conspiracy.

I see your “True Facts” and raise you Kellyanne Conway.

Is it ironic that ChatGPT is defending spez increasing API costs “to combat LLMs”?

Jailbait. There’s a bit more to the story though…mod invites were auto-approved at the time. But he seemingly embraced it, even if he didn’t directly acknowledge it.

Then the instance admin holds the private key and can still decrypt.

If you cared that much about privacy in DMs, we should have a “profile page”. Post a PGP public key there. Then you can send PGP encrypted messages to anyone who you have a public key for.
