I like right to repair, but I don't think it goes far enough. I'd like "right to openness", where every gadget I buy that depends on some external service (think fitbit cloud or iot clouds) needs to use open protocols such that I can build my own service. Ideally also make the software on the device open too. For now, before I buy anything, I make sure I can replace the external service or there's some way to reverse engineer it.

In the meantime, did anyone crack epson printers? I got one for free and I'm trying to make it accept unauthorized ink
in reply to وردي :arabi_gay: 🇵🇸

Hell I'd like my Epson multifunction to work with authorized ink. It won't even let me *scan* because it thinks the print cartridge is bogus. Grrrr.

more programs needs to be fun in general. Custom skins, easter eggs, feel like a labour of love rather than being so sterile.

I miss UI themes having creativity and exploring new options, unlike now where your lucky if there is just a "dark mode"

Okay so to be clear I understand that emacs is A Lot to learn so not everything about it is for everyone

but I think elisp and the ability to define your own commands in the UI that have parity with built-in commands is something that I find myself wishing basically everything had

there was this brief period in the late '00s early '10s where the web was starting to have that character as people were building css/js combos that were basically operating as overlays on top of other sites at least somewhat seamlessly

but that seems to have pretty much disappeared

@tilton oh yeah like it was almost literally what I was raised on when I first started using computers in the 00s, I'm typing this from a mastodon-mode right now lol

Why doesn't anyone use /these/ anymore. I kind of hate that markdown uses *these* for italics when everyone knows that *this* is bold and /this/ is italics

reshared this

in reply to Astryr the Seiber-Swynwraig

the real tragedy is that unlike asterisks text renderers typically consider slashes line break opportunities

so you get /
this/, sometimes

but yeah, partial agree. we like asterisks for italics personally, but for plain text emphasis slashes are highly underappreciatied

in reply to Astryr the Seiber-Swynwraig

I think it's because IRC's hey-day is about a generation ago. Same reason getting a plaintext export is often impossible, why stuff needs a 5Mbit connection, why a Web site downloading fonts from google is normal.

oh god, I'm the old guy yelling at the cloud.

spotify is (allegedly) using ai to generate generic music (allegedly) attributed to made up fake artists with generic names that (allegedly) suspiciously only exist on spotify to (allegedly) fill their famous pre-made playlists to (allegedly) send out to users to (allegedly) avoid having to pay actual artists and (allegedly) get 100% of the income instead of 30%

if you pay for a lot of streaming services, i promise you that if you cancel all of them you will be significantly less stressed and suddenly have a lot more money
in reply to nano :neocat_floof:

i used to pay for a lot of subscription services. apple music, discord nitro, telegram premium, etc, and it was EXTREMELY stressful suddenly seeing £10 drop out of my bank account and no longer having the headroom to buy something that i wanted

the only notable things i pay for now is my phone, my sim card, my internet, and google cloud storage, and ive never felt better mentally and had more spare money before

fuck etsy


Etsy is about to ban the sale of most sex toys and sexual content (ANY depictions of genitalia and sex acts). Effective July 29th.

Non-penetrable and non-insertable toys and kink gear will still be allowed (for example: restraints, clamps, harnesses).

Nudity for models will be banned, including "genitalia, anuses, gluteal clefts [a.k.a. buttcracks] and female nipples/areolas."
(A LOT to unpack here...)

There will also be a ban on any "sexual references to familial relationships" in articles up for sale, such as "daddy's slut" or "choke me, mommy".

Read more in this article:

I've never used that fertilizer, it seems pretty pricy here in Canada. I didn't do a detailed calculation on dilution vs. overall cost though.

I have had good luck with Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster which I get in 1.5kg water soluble crystal form. I also use the tomato/fruit/vegetable one early in the season to promote green growth before flowering.

Caveat: I haven't looked at/analysed Miracle Grow products in any sort of detail against competitors, it's just what I've always used.
