Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.
There’s a print shop in my area that I used the last time I made business cards, and they do same day orders (in reasonable quantities). You can ask for pretty much anything and they’ll do it.
There’s really no reason to get an inkjet IMO. We have a small, portable photo printer for family gatherings (it’s fun to make small batch prints as a keepsake), but other than that, we only have a laser printer and order everything else.
Seems like some spicy drama. I’ll check back in a few days to see how it resolves. I love Organic Maps and I hope the core team resolves this appropriately.
Looks like the dispute is with one of the devs who didn’t work on maps.me.
Regardless, it’s probably best to wait until the dust settles to see what the facts are.
Wow, that’s an incredible misunderstanding of copyright. Screw 'em.
Organic Maps rocks. Maybe I’ll go donate.
Edit: Read a bit of the discussion and it seems this is 100% Organic Maps, Maps.me is unrelated. I’ll hold off until the drama revolves.
To be fair, they sat on their hands for a fair amount of it.
Wow, TSMC is absolutely killing it.
None of this is specific to cryptocurrencies or even money, people do this with stocks (esp penny stocks), precious metals (look at all those “Buy Gold!!” videos), and collectibles (I still remember the beanie baby craze of the late 90s).
This is just gambling, betting that you’ll cash out before everyone else, but after the price has run up.
But that’s not “how all cryptocurrency works.” Yes, cryptocurrencies are valued based on supply and demand, but many aren’t actively speculated on and are used more as a currency. For example, Monero isn’t attractive for speculation because mining is unprofitable and exchanging with fiat is banned or difficult in many areas. It’s great as a currency though because transaction fees are low, transactions are fast, and it has a bunch of privacy features. Bitcoin is more attractive, but not as much for gambling because volumes are too high to get crazy spikes. So you end up with longer ye term speculation in Bitcoin like you’d see with individual large cap stocks. Bitcoin isn’t going to 10x overnight, but it’s also not going to drop 90% overnight either.
Like anything else, pick carefully, and ideally don’t gamble.
It really doesn’t. Banning Tiktok is banning certain types of speech. Same goes for Twitter/X and Meta. It’s like banning a book because it wax heavily influenced by an adversary country.
Brazilians and Europeans should be very angry about doing anything that resembles banning speech.
I don’t see it as a bright side, but I also think it should be unbanned. Don’t get me wrong, I think TikTok is cancer and nobody should use it, but I also don’t think the government should decide what propaganda I get to consume.
The government should absolutely do a public campaign against it and keep a close eye on it, but don’t ban it.
In the meantime, we should look into passing laws to solve the underlying problems, which would impact Meta and other big social media orgs as well. Or maybe fund independent social media alternatives that are FOSS.
But don’t ban speech. Banning TikTok feels a little too close to banning books…
Yeah, removing the headphone jack and jacking up the price for Bluetooth headphones will do that…
Of course it does, and for two major reasons:
I really don’t think China is nearly as interested in siphoning data as controlling the algorithm. Getting people to see more pro-Chinese videos, more anti-US videos, and some bias toward candidates they want to see win is completely doable without exfiltrating any data.
Basically, all the stuff people are pissed about Musk doing to Twitter (changing algo to push right wing content) are just as feasible for TikTok to do, with the main difference being China is a state actor, whereas Musk is a private billionaire.
We should be very worried about any social media app that’s very popular and controlled by an org with political motivations.
My wife gets a lot of her news
Wow, that’s scary. I’m guessing a surprising number of people do this as well.
Yup, we don’t print very often, but when we do, we print a lot. I imagine a lot of people are similar.
Yeah, Plasma 6’s Wayland support is way better. I have no idea what Mint ships, I just know I’ve been on Plasma 6 for a few months and it’s great.
But most people don’t need Wayland. It’s great if you have high refresh monitors or monitors with different refresh rates, but your average person is probably running a single monitor setup.
And the worst part is that us outside of California still see that crap.
Well, you have to dogfood it sometime…
Well, my laser printer jammed once in >10 years of ownership, and it’s because the paper was loaded weird. My parents’ inkjet jammed all the time as a kid, so much so that we ended up replacing it with another when my mom started working from home, and it still sometimes jammed.
Maybe things got way better since I was a kid, but inkjets always kinda sucked.
If you’re into photography, you’ll want professional prints. Send them off to a professional printer, and you can get pretty much any size you want.
Lemmy is a drop in the bucket compared to Reddit by any metric you want to use. It’s not even close.
But yeah, eventually Reddit will be replaced. Facebook is going through that transition now, and we’ll see how well they can retain users with Threads and Instagram.
