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

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?

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.

Is this a TechnologyConnections reference? haha

I’m most excited about the “barely worth mentioning” updates to Safari, Maps, Airpods, and autocorrect lol.

Folks on Mastodon were bashing the “Web Apps” conversation but… I would really prefer to install less glorified-site-wrappers on my stuff, thanks. Like they basically knocked out 2 of the 3 reasons I opted for Edge over Safari:

• Install sites like Slack, Discord, YoutubeMusic as apps rather than using an electron wrapper
• Work vs Personal profiles w/ history and extensions
• Optimized memory usage & Automatic tab “sleeping”

As for Maps: I like Siri’s voice, and the “turn left but stay in the second from left lane to do it” has saved me from road rage a number of times. It’s nicely integrated to Contacts, so I just say “Navigate to Mom/Sister/SO” early in the drive. But I don’t use it because of the absurd amount of data usage the app uses (I’m on a limited prepaid plan). So this is basically all I’ve been waiting for to drop my GMaps usage down to just “what’s good around here?” type usage.

Airpods’ adaptive usage seems perfect for the way I think airpods are best used — while walking around. If I’m camping out at a cafe or something, I pull out the full sized headphones. But if I’m walking or running, I bring out the airpods. Usually in transparency mode, toggling it off if things get too loud to hear. Looking forward to trying the new feature.

And autocorrect has been getting worse — significantly so. Whatever it is they do, I hope it works :)
