I’m half tempted to pin this post as the poster child for the brand.

Friends don’t let friends buy proprietary cloud locked printers.

I want a p1. but the nature of proprietary hardware in general and now stories like this have me rethinking it. I'm tired of having to constantly fuck with my ender 5 pro.

Never buying HP printers again, not after I got a Brother one last year. It works OOTB even with linux and there’s no such lockdown bullshit.

I do it because I want to inspire others to make communities like the ones we had back on Reddit. People talking and asking questions and getting answers and in general appreciating the subjects involved. Hopefully, we'll get there.

It's not much time or effort. Low traffic. Mostly I just post the 'best of' I've saved over the years. I recommend doing it if there's a niche you want to see on the Fediverse that isn't currently filled.

That's not really true. When it first came out, before the ads, before the algorithm, when they embraced 3rd party apps with an open api, it was really great. It was full of techy personalities and interesting folks. Hashtags were fun to follow, live events were amazing in real time, so much more. That was before it got inundated with politics and celebrities though. I think that honeymoon phase only lasted a tiny while, then it all went downhill into the outrage machine pretty quickly. But for a quick minute there, it was glorious.

The interesting thing about Twitter is how it shows how a significant part of our society works. It is kind of about amplifying fame and suggesting that we should all cares about meaningless 240 character posts or what these guys think.

That news media types love Twitter is kind of an indictment of how news works.

This is a wildly over generalized take.

Twitter was also an important tool for journalists and researchers worldwide. Military targets have come from Twitter posts. It is a reflection of a huge chunk of society. You may as well call all of internet technology "just a porn box" for how wildly over generalized that statement is. The reality is your generalization comes from arrogance. "I never engaged in such frivolous behavior". You're here now. Yes you have and yes you do.

Even your comment is the first cousin of outrage, it's pure disdain. Nothing more or less, and exactly as valuable as outrage.

I’m willing to sacrifice my TV binging to support striking workers.
