  • Thanks for the update and the hard work behind the scenes to keep things online!

  • That's not what this means at all. Security by obscurity is referencing software that itself has secret pieces that are (to the software authors) "security features" which are only secure so long as their implementation details remain secret.

    Software using a key is not security by obscurity, knowing that a key is used by the software does not result in the application being compromised.

    Software that uses one secret key for all users embedded in the binary is security by obscurity.

  • Kdenlive is pretty decent these days too

  • Krita used to be a full suite. They just decided to give up fighting GIMP and focus on what Krita is best at (effectively illustration).

  • The cheapest brother is $120 (USD) https://www.brother-usa.com/products/HLL2300D

    If you want color, sure that's more ($250). Still not a long shot from what you paid for your HP, plus that ink (and I'd wager you'd still be going without a single follow up purchase of toner).

    For context (per their own product claims):

    • Brother Genuine TN227 High-yield replacement toner delivers rich, vivid professional laser print quality you can rely on for up to 3,000 pages (black) and up to 2,300 pages (color) (2)
    • Additional replacement toner option available for this model: TN223 Standard-yield (1,400 pages black/1,300 pages color) (2)
  • Yes, but also it was once a status symbol to drink lead (because it was sweet). We know better now, and haven't returned to that.

  • Honestly this can be taboo regardless of your gender

  • I heard Oregon (?) was having similar issues there where they made similar changes

  • There is no way, you notice 3ms of latency

  • True, but they require a lot of test prints until you get back to an acceptable print quality in my experience

  • They're not going to go shoot up their own town, and the FBI and local law enforcement aren't going to go hunt down everybody with a stockpile of ammo that voted for Trump.

    Realistically, they'd go for wherever Trump is being held, and the respective SWAT teams (including FBI SWAT) or active duty national guard would deal with it.

    I hope it wouldn't get to it, but that would also be valid grounds for the deployment of the insurrection act (unlike Trump when his team wanted to use it to steal the election). Those old veterans with their subpar domestic equipment would be up against fully armed active duty national guard, army, marines, seals, etc

    I am losing no sleep overnight about MAGA wackjobs "rescuing" Trump.

  • The thing is since inkjet printers dry out you spend way more on cartridges over time. Sure toner is more expensive, but you but it way less frequently.

  • Inkjet printers need to be used regularly, or go through several cleaning prints (which are features of HP printers). That's not HP scamming you, that's just how inkjet printers are...

    That said, IMO, most people are infrequent printers and would be better served by a laser printer. Toner doesn't dry out. I have had a brother laser printer for 3-4 years now and haven't had to change the toner once. Every time I need to print something, it fires right up, and prints it without a fuss.

  • I wonder how this will work with (or if it will be compatible) with the efforts of Element and the Matrix standard?

  • That's a farce; it happens all the time, revenue stops increasing from growing the customer base, so the prices are raised on the existing customer base to cover costs and keep things operational. Why do you think Netflix still isn't $8.99, and password sharing is no longer permitted?

    If you definitely know you can't make enough money on 30% of 1,000,000 people, but you can make enough money charging 10% of 1,000,000 people a higher rate, you're going to do that ... because it's your only option. There are diminishing returns to picking up new customers with lower prices.
