Downvoted but correct, they used to admit it before the exodus, but after the exodus they started denying it to seem more "general" in an attempt to appeal to everyone that isn't stupid as shit.

Oh for sure lol, never update it, I usually don't give printers access to the network anyway, I'll just use a cable! I'll check out that HP, thanks!

I don't think Meshtastic would work for that with a 200char limit.

Usenet and torrents otoh, already can't stop that. Not to mention lying is still a thing. I'm 136 years old so I should know.

Wait, so instead of me telling every website I'm 90, I'll tell my OS I'm 90 and the sites will query that, and this somehow works better? I'm not 90 btw, so all I'm doing is just changing who I'm lying to from zyn.com to Fedora? Great plan.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Hanlon's Razor means that malice doesn't exist, just that it's more likely someone who wrongs you did so out of stupidity than actual malice.

My coworker drank my Dr. Pepper the other day, and when I asked who the hell did it he said he thought it was one he had brought in the other other day, we both love the Pep. Easy mistake to make, and he replaced it once he realized the mistake. Could he have said to himself "Fuck Arcane I'm going to drink his Dr. Pepper because he's a bitch?" Yes. Did he though? Probably not, it was probably just a simple mistake (stupidity.)

It's for shit like that, not like the holocaust or something.

Brother laser printers are the move for sure, but as for photo printers I'm at a loss.

Hell, Brother probably makes one now that I think about it, hmm...

"No, I have 3 4tb drives and 5 1tb drives. I mean I do have 15 sticks around but most of those have a linux distro on them and the others are for general use."

Or do, what are they gonna do about it if I don't really live there? Fuck 'em.

Tapes are easy, get a cassette player of any kind with a headphone jack, jack that into your PC's 3.5mm hole, and use Tenacity (audacity bad now, tenacity good fork) to record side A and B into two tracks which you can later split up into individual songs if need be. The Super 8 camcorder however idk, that sounds more difficult than audio tapes lol!

But scanning photos? Just get a Brother laser printer/scanner combo and scan them hoes yourself!

In related news does anyone know of a good photo printer? I have to go the other way and make my digitals into physicals! I could go to a pharmacy still I think but it'd be cool if I could do it myself.

You must be new here. Desalinator is one of the creators of lemmy, he didn't like how he and his tankie buddies got banned everywhere for being tankies and so he created this place so he could be the heavy handed admin for a change, it's like his whole thing. Just don't use .ml comms, you're already on .world so his influence on you is limited.

I want to get a camera that I can use mostly for nature pics and graffiti pics out the window of a moving train, and maybe a butt or two (consensually ofc). Yes I know I'm weird. That said I guess I'll need a "fast" one for the train, if that is the correct terminology (I think for shutter speed, yes?) The only other requirement is I will not download programs or apps beyond FOSS, preferably something I can just take the SD card out of and plug it into my laptop (linux anyway, most programs don't like me).

I don't see myself making this my living (and if I do then I can always upgrade) just as a hobby and maybe some side hustle if the opportunity knocks, so I don't need the best camera, but I would rather buy nice not twice (unless I leave "hobbyist" and move to "professional"). That said I was thinking maybe a DSLR would be enough for me (if not, I could be persuaded to mirrorless, just trying to keep costs down)? I've heard good things about the Canon Rebel, idk. I'm not really trying to go over $1k (and even cheaper than that would be even better) especially if I have to then buy a lens or two.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing lol.

Minor Arcana #13 - Still loving this series, also loved Fishflies so that's perhaps unsurprising. Something about the artstyle and the spooky small town subject matter just clicks (or should I say Crunch to reference the misprint in Fishflies lol), I hope he keeps it up.

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Rite Of Spring #5 - My favorite series right now still going strong.

Geiger #20 - I'm so behind but I'm still picking them up, I'll get back to reading Fallout Man soon enough.

That's it for me this week, what're you pulling?

Best Mastodon App? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm looking for android, but I suppose iOS welcome for those with iPhones.

I've been using Fedilab, but I have a bad habit of not checking super often and so Fedilab reaches a point where it won't say "load more" and leaves gaps in my feed, which I'd like to fix. Also was using it for pixelfed, but since that acct was deleted for inactivity I'm not using the multi-service function anymore, but multi-mastodon-acct support is still needed. Used Tusky previously but don't remember why I switched (like two years ago).

Been a couple years, so I figured I'd see what people like using these days and try out a few.

Easiest way to contribute? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 2 months ago by ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/osm@feddit.uk

Oh neat an OSM community, and I find it organically two days after I decide I need to figure out how to contribute!

Well so my area needs some help, POI data can be spotty but moreso I have a few newly built apartment complexes nearby that (while they're visible on the map,) need their streets named and buildings numbered.

What is the easiest way for me to add this information to OSM? I'm aware of OSMAND+ and Everydoor apps for android through my searching yesterday and I've downloaded both (well I downloaded OSMAND+ when Magic Earth went shitty but just to use as a gps) but that's as far as I've gotten.

I'm primarily concerned with privacy and security, thus the interest in Delta Chat to begin with, but it seems to me that all the relays (at least the ones on the delta chat site's list, that is) are hosted in 5 eyes countries or countries that will soon be subject to the EU's chat control bullshit, or are in India or South Africa (two countries which I do not know about their own privacy situation, though the SA server is a ".wang" which is hilarious.)

Is there any relay that I can sign up for that's hosted somewhere like Norway, that cares about privacy at least ostensibly? Any other list of available relays?

I'm sure "it doesn't matter because e2ee," but assuredly some metadata must still exist, like sender/recipient or something. Unfortunately self hosting isn't an option currently as idk how to do that sort of thing just yet (one day) and also I'm in a 5 eyes country, so I'd have to VPS it somewhere.

Hey Monero people, I hope it's ok if I ask a few questions (and ok that I'm gonna crosspost this to monero.town even though you're phasing it out because the subbed number is higher), I trust you more than the LLM and ad filled search results.

What's the safest way to get monero from fiat anon in Current Year?

  • Buy, say, ETH kyc, and transfer?
  • Hodl Hodl or localmonero or something? (recs welcome)
  • other? Please share preferred

I'd rather burn a few bucks to not get ripped off, if it's reasonable, but I'm open to (I've heard you can somewhere) buy a gift card and do a transfer with escrow.

With Cake Wallet, I rolled a random name for my xmr wallet, would I lose anon if I named it a pre-used screen name(+xmr, btc, etc) and used subkeys? Who all can see the wallet name?

If I do end up with some kyc monero, what exactly does that mean to me? I still use it anon but have to pay taxes or something, or is it like, "now we know who is associated with this acct and you paid your weedman in XMR so now we send you to prison?" Should I have one wallet, kyc that one, and then send it to a second I keep clean, is that reasonable? Can I only accept non-kyc monero to my acct if I intend to stay anon? I'm so very new to this.

I'm really not planning on dodging taxes or buying/selling weed, actually mostly planning on using it as an inconvenient but private cashapp-type replacement (prob have like, btc, xmr, and eth wallets for variety just in case and store the funds as btc and xmr), but I'm privacy minded which is what attracts me to XMR to begin with, I'd like to plan for buying a gun that shoots fentanyl bullets on the darkweb and then in reality I'm paying my friend for watching my cat, or being paid for watching their dogs.

Lastly, is there anything else you think I'm too inexperienced to know to ask, but should be told? I mean consider me dumb, I don't know shit, I'm new to crypto entirely not just xmr or cake.
