For years I bought Samsung laser printers. After HP bought Samsung's printer division, I won't buy them anymore (or anything "HP" made after it was absorbed by Compaq), for anti-consumer nonsense such as this illustrates.
My next printer might be Fuji-Xerox.

CDC: COVID is a health threat that can surge all year round.
NY Democrats: The pandemic is over, let's ban masks!
The mask ban is anti-science, anti-public health, anti-safety.
Take action to stop the mask banβ¬οΈ

Barcelona has banned Airbnb.
"The decision is designed to solve what Collboni described as "Barcelona's biggest problem" β the housing crisis that has seen residents and workers priced out of the market β by returning the 10,000 apartments currently listed as short-term rentals on Airbnb and other platforms into the housing market. "

I feel like the tech industry should prioritize resource efficiency and environmental impact over increasing electricity usage for power and hardware expectations (?)

βWe often dismiss skills that are not societally valued by pretending they are not skills. Or, sure, maybe they're skills, but they're mysterious and ineffable!
βYou reinforce this idea each time you say βsoft skillsβ instead of working to enumerate them. Perhaps you mean βinterpersonal skills,β βleadership skills,β or βcommunication skills.β These are all technical skills, and they all have names.β - Sasha Laundy π₯π₯π₯

Do you think Color Clash would work best as an abstract game, or would be better with animated characters?

fedi is really just a competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculous domain name.
Ok I'm pretty sure Tusky doesn't like webp images. I just tried to upload one and it won't let me. I can't see webp images on the app, only the browser.

If servers aren't properly mounted, they will fly into the sky, propelled by their fans.
That's why they call it "the cloud".
