There was a good point explaining how the invention of email made communication a more dreaded thing. When all you could do was send written letters, it could take weeks or months to communicate with someone on another continent. When email was invented everyone thought it would make life so much easier to get a near instant reply. But now some some people have to read and send a hundred emails a day. It’s the same with cell phones. A hundred years ago we mostly didn’t have phones. Then landlines became popular but you had to be home, also you had to memorize numbers or write them down. Now everyone has a cellphone where anyone can call you at anytime and any place. It could be work related, medical related, an old friend wanting to say hi, a tech illiterate family member asking for help, someone trying to sell you something, or any other kind of spam call. Phone anxiety is completely understandable.

Is 5 pounds enough?

Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.

I can agree with that, perhaps I misinterpreted the previous comments.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn’t be skeptical without proof. Brother isn’t in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn’t see any mention in the article of other user’s printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.

I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother. If you’re looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.

I’m just quoting what the other user’s screenshot of the AI said. I wouldn’t assume it to be true lol.

Wafflestomping dates back to at least 18th century Belgium.

I vote that TSA just stands outside your house and puts you through that every day you choose to go outside. The rest of the world would be a safer place.

You aren’t wrong there. Almost every book had some form of continuity error like that.

To be fair, I have bought textbooks that cost twice what I spend on my weekly grocery bill lol.

You’re using PTO for a death in the family?

Also the Terry Gilliam directed Harry Potter movies.

The last one of AOC looks like someone forgot to fully crop out the arm coming from out of frame. I bet she was going in for a hug.

You would literally be Mr. House

Never been a football fan. But I very much want to see the entire stadium call Drake a pedophile at halftime.

Almost as if OP is shitposting or something

I recently started looking into more decentralized instant messengers after being on signal for a year or so. I’m happy with signal but just wanted to look into what else is out there. I really don’t get why XMPP gets left in the dust. I see so much praise for matrix, but every public group ive joined is full of spam bots and racists. Simplex is centralized. Even as far as the fediverse goes, I would’ve assumed everyone here would hype up XMPP since it works similarly with the [email protected] convention.

I down voted them for the weird tirade about privilege and being an abused kid. Idk wtf that has to do with hating spotify, but lemmy would look much better without that garbage in the comments.
