Downvoted because it didn’t end with /s.

Maybe I’ve been lucky, but I bought an HP M476DN in 2015, and no problems using non-oem toner, toner top up, etc. No subscription nonsense, no firmware upgrades nobbling things. Maybe I’ll regret posting this when HP find out but it doesn’t owe me anything nearly 10 years later…

Physicists:

This is just Occam's razor again: a hypothetical particle that can't interact with anything, and therefore can't be detected, doesn't exist.

Also Physicists:
85% of the universe’ mass is missing!!!

Let me say... I work in healthcare. I clean human waste. I'm not easily grossed out.

Come on Jo, we’ve talked about this. You’re supposed to call them patients.

I can still hear the penny dropping in my mind when I went from ‘How can anyone fall for that—it’s so obviously a scam…’ to ‘Oh, right…’ It sounded too Machiavellian to be true. I wonder if it was so carefully designed from the start, or a process of natural selection?

I like someone who would die for a maybe.

Or were those two unrelated points?

The graphs are all interactive (touch to show labels, etc.). That can interfere with scrolling—try dragging at the edge or one of the pie chart titles. Fwiw, it scrolls ok on mobile safari…

If you’re in Europe, northern Spain in 2026 is the next best opportunity.

Do what now? I mean, don’t use a dishcloth to wipe your retinas either.

I’ve spent a few weeks on Lemmy/all blocking things I don’t care to see, and honestly it’s now pretty good. Plenty of diversity still and easier than subscribing plus occasionally new things pop up that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Narrowly missed out on spending the day with Patrick Stewart at an event in London. My wife went instead and she doesn’t even like Star Trek. She said he was very nice though.

If you’re imprecise enough, anything is about half the size of an adult giraffe.

No, silly, the left half.

Despite the breach, LastPass has been pretty solid for me for over a decade. Syncs across devices, easy sharing between family members, etc. If your master pw and iteration counts are in the green, even them losing your data is relatively low risk, apart from exposing the sites you have accounts for, which is equal parts privacy & security issue. If I wasn’t so invested in LP, I would probably go elsewhere but since the horse has bolted…

I’ve also heard good things about Bitwarden and KeePass but can’t speak to how easy they are to set up.
