  • My Brother B&W laser printer is a beast. I’ve had it probably eight years now and am only, two months ago, on my 3rd toner cartridge despite my relatively low use. That counts the starter cartridge which I am told isn’t full.

    My Brother color printer on the other hand is a pain. The yellow toner always runs out first and it won’t print without it. Well, it can, if you finagle things, but then it only does for like 3-4 weeks. Annoying as shit.

    But, overall, better than any HP or Canon I’ve ever used.












  • You sound like me. I’m diagnosed autistic (mildly), I’m a software engineer, I’m introverted, I’m definitely liberal leaning, and…I live in Oregon.

    For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.

    I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I’m non-white, but don’t feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.

    It rains a lot here… though less so these days it seems. It’s weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it’s still a lot less than other people I know.

    I’m rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.




  • Agreed!

    SMS via 3rd party apps has and always will be buggy in some way, shape, or form, at least on Android. No clue why. Since the dawn of Android phones and after some 25-30 Android-specific phones owned in my life, I’ve yet to use a non stock SMS app that worked flawlessly all the time. Closest I’ve come, unfortunately, is Google Messages, and even that isn’t perfect.

    My parents use Signal and are the most tech averse people I know, so it isn’t that hard. I converted all my friends to Signal. Switched wife to Signal.

    SMS is maybe 3% of my usage these days and about 2% of that is just restaurant reservations or spam. There are two people I message via SMS like once a quarter and that’s it.





  • AlecSadler@lemmy.mltoMemes@lemmy.mlI like the web app more.

    $20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.

    I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.

    Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It’s whatever.
