My HP is good, but it's one of the liquid ink ones instead of cartridges. Got for PPS support so I new it would just print things on my network.
Wish I had a open source option though. And or at least a manufacturer that was possibly using slave labor (made in China and all that).
I lied about my age online a WHILE ago and I'm going to let you know old farts get bombarded too.
Its gotten better since my old persona died I think (you know over 120 is just out of most marketers age ranges).
I hate ads with a passion, if a friend shows me a video and an ad pops up I show them how to use fence and ad blockers on their phone right away.
I remember there was like a twilight where yelp was helpful, then it wasn't and I learned all their shady shit and went "yeah that explains it".
Reddit has a longer amount of content to burn through but if it becomes just husks of communities puppetted by corporate pr firms it's going to just slowly cannibalize.
If can protest in a way that drives engagement makes are numbers better it's allowed. Lmao what clowns.
Its like the king says you can send him extra grain as a protest for this years unfair taxes
I don't disagree that there is a ton of development from volunteers and non profit (ngos, Universitys and governments) but the majority seems to be from big tech at the moment.
Just saying they are contributing a lot and in those ways the Internet is better for it.
Used to be a bigger fan, but for the same reason I became more libertarian I'm not so sure it's a practical philosophy. The biggest issue is that as soon as someone decides what is or isn't good genetics you get a lot of bias. The majority of the human experience is social anyways.
Do you use any Firefox or chromium web browser, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, or WASM because I'm 90% most of the development for all of that comes from Ad companies or companies funded by ads.
Left over fajitas and refined beens.
Not the guy, but I hope it's oat milk based. Very creamy milk, kind of airy frozen.
I think it seperates people, and that can have a harmful effect on people.
You slowly whether living for the good of all mankind (in your mind), excessive pleasure, or avoid the world more and more, just start living an experience that doesn't make sense to more and more people.
It happens on small scales too. Like a trip to Hawaii or Disney world, or being able afford only "ethically" sources goods and having time to volunteer at your local animal shelter. These are experiences that people have seen have wanted but ultimately never afforded.
Like having time and money to travel to you families for thanksgiving, that is just not going to happen for some people, and the experience of begging for overtime to stock before black Friday is something those people may never experience or even think about.
Just like that stocker may never experience taking the kids to dump to sort through trash to find things to sell to help make it to next year's seasonal work.
We view world through our eyes alone and can only fathom the rest.
