This is actually the sole reason I went with laser - I print so rarely that a traditional inkjet would not stand up to long periods of inactivity, as the ink wells would either dry up or the printer firmware would force replacement.

A monochrome laserjet should run you about the same price as an inkjet and cartridge refills (since the included inkjet cartridges won't last long), and would probably suit 90% of most user needs. I highly recommend the Brother line of monochrome laser with duplexer, mine is 10 years old and going strong.

I'll be the first to admit that my technical experience in this field is limited, but I have been following the tech for some time.

Transparent display tech has come a long way since its inception, but from either a transparency standpoint or as a high fidelity interface for VR I can't see how it's a viable option. Given the choice I would much rather have a crystal clear UI with simulated AR than compromise display quality with adjustable transparency.

Why Apple chose to develop the googly-eyes outward-facing display is beyond me though. Maybe it looks better in person than in their promos.

Hi! I'm in the same boat. Part of me is sad to leave (15 year account) but the more bigger part of me is looking forward to seeing how lemmy grows with this migration.

If anything it's the ISPs that will hassle you for outbound SMTP. There are ways around that but generally blocked by default

It would be literally impossible for me to do my job effectively without Sidebery for container management in FF. As someone with multiple accounts used for various CSPs and other services, being able to spin up an environment with no irrelevant cached user sessions is something I depend on heavily (looking at you, Azure).

I can relate to both sides of this fight, but to lend my POV on Apple's stance, they have a valid argument.

When you sign the developer agreement and submit an app to the App Store, you are entering into a contract to make concessions to Apple's business model, and Epic clearly violated these T&Cs.

If Epic truly wanted to institute change in App Store policies in order to maximize their profits from Fortnite, they would have first engaged Apple to initiate the discussion and work towards an amicable solution, which Apple would likely flat out deny. It's at this point that Epic could have used its substantial presence in the industry to rally the developers, the press, and its own user base to stand up to Apple policies and effect that change.

As it stands, their decision to wait for their assured dismissal from the App Store to pursue litigation and position themselves as trying to "stand up for indie developers" comes off as insincere and primarily seeking publicity based on Apple's action in simply abiding by its own long established policies.

Note: While I am primarily a Mac user in my personal life, I tend to be very critical of Apple's business practices in general, and while I have my own negative opinions about Fortnite's transactional model, I try to be unbiased in my response to their actions and subsequent behavior.

I was actually agreeing with you, in that running a private mail server is not a difficult endeavor as long as you take those things into account. Most VPS and CSP will block SMTP by default (just recently went through this with AWS, had to specifically request the service) since most everyone doesn't have a clue how to secure mail relays and stay off blacklists.

Google, Live, AOL, Yahoo etc might hassle you for DKIM or SPF, but in my experience the ISP is the first hurdle.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

That's probably what I miss the most about reddit, reading through others' take on the film I just watched. I don't know if any of y'all remember when IMDb used to have movie/TV forums, but those were always a good time.

As far as Hereditary, it's one of my all time favorites. Super unsettling and superbly acted. I am looking forward to watching 'Beau is Afraid', as it's the same director.

Consider posting this to !horror@lemmy.ml, it'd be great if we could get that community to surpass r/horror.

Note: I'm not sure how to post community links, if I got it wrong let me know

There was a reason I switched to Sidebery over The native implementation but I can't remember. Maybe it was the Panels feature that FF Containers didn't offer at the time.

I do miss some of the functionality of the Mozilla add-on though, I don't think they opened up APIs to some of the extended tab/window options.

Hah that's a good point. Maybe they'll make it so it lags just behind inflation.
