Please forgive the multiple posts. My UI is glitchy af and reports errors when there were none.

Can confirm that bootleg printer ink is a thing. It used to be all I used. While sites dedicated to it off Amazon doesn’t cut it.

But as someone else pointed out, manufacturers have been adding “DRM” to cartridges in more recent years. Even in older printers, I will get complaints doubting the authenticity of the cartridges I was putting in.

I’d be kinda down for this

Hm. I’ve got a basic 5.1 setup via sound bar and have dialed center up to max. It sorta works, but it makes the “surround” a lot less impactful because of the disproportionate levels (eg explosions straight ahead still boom).

I always though this was a deliberate mixing decision for “immersion”

This. It’s also mixing that’s intended to be “immersive”; explosions are meant to make you shit your pants while conversations are meant to be at the same level as someone in the room with you.

Not ideal for apartment dwellers with no insulation in their walls or floors, like myself.

Interesting — coming from the Linux world where docker is an ‘apt install’ away, I struggled with docker installation on Mac and settled on their client because of various “gotchas” I saw online. And even then got pissed because the client overwrote my local ‘kubectl’ bin.

Guess I’ll have to reevaluate.

Yeah, I’ve always thought it could be a good retort when someone is dissatisfied with the amount of resources you’ve already put towards some thing.

“Wow, thanks for getting me only 20 bucks in my birthday card”

“you’re only volunteering for a day? They are volunteering for at least three”

“Gross, you’re got me a used laptop?”

Got my immediate family on it. Miss some features when forced elsewhere.

I hadn’t considered this, but this would be awesome.

Having it go 2 ways and draft new articles (thinking TODO pages) based on Slack mentions would be interesting too, I think?

IMO, these are the kinds of moves that’ll catalyze a new piracy movement in the mainstream.

I’ve considered that this might be a helpful tactic for NSFW communities — leave the moderation on Reddit and just bring content over here 🤷

kbin looks nice, though this is the first I’m hearing of it 🧐

That’s really my main concern too. Also, I am already on call at my day job, I’d rather not sign up to do that for a passion project too.

One thing I’ve thought of is trying to set up a an instance that mirrors some subreddits via RSS. No comments though, because API access.

I lurked because everything I had to say had already been said, or so it seemed.

Seems like, with less users, that’s less likely to happen. Been nice.
