It’s funny how every year these services get worse and worse and the prices keep going up. Netflix previously encouraging password sharing and then deciding it’s not ok. Did the price drop? ofc not. Did they replace it with a better feature? No. At least getting better content? Fuck no. Repeat for literally any of them.
Welp, this is embarrassing. I totally glossed right over that…
Unlikely, given that this would violate the 1st amendment pretty blatantly.
Oh absolutely. I run a network-wide adblocker (pi-hole) and still also adblock stuff on all my clients.
Things like Adblock on iOS

Chuck Norris memes were barely funny the first time and he’s a crazy asshole now.
Just teasing :)
Yeah, they’re both honestly pretty rough to use. kbin for example wouldn’t show comments with any content blockers on for iOS, which makes it a pretty nonstarter for me. I personally don’t think either have really nailed interface, either.
This is forgetting the fact that we already socialize several things in our society. We’ve agreed that national protection is necessary, so if you’re a citizen of most countries, you’re paying taxes that pay for a military. We could very easily socialize food as well.
Take social security for example - it will provide some level of retirement, but you won’t be living a life of luxury. There is no reason why we can’t apply this model to food, healthcare, water, electricity, etc (and in certain circumstances, we often do.) This doesn’t mean that those on medicare are being cared for while doctors are held at gunpoint, it means that we use taxes to do a tiny bit of taking care of people.
We’re a society beyond real scarcity, only artificial scarcity. Our productivity levels over the last few hundred years especially has increased exponentially. Just since the 40 hour work week was standardized upon, we’ve made leaps and bounds but been allowed to realize none of those gains.
We’re so brainwashed in the US we don’t even realize that quite a few other countries already do these things more successfully than we do, and pretend like there is no other possibility.
Also here to say Brother. I bought a 2170w like 10-15 years ago for $99, have bought toner for it twice, and it’s chugged along the whole time. I see someone else saying they don’t deal with 3rd party cartridges, and mine def does, but that might be because of it’s age.
I’d also strongly recommend against another inkjet printer. We didn’t print enough in color even 10 years ago that when we did want to the cartridges were dry and it wasn’t just worth it to go to a Staples or Walgreens or whatever for photos or the occasional kid’s school project. If you do have to do a lot of color printing, laser jet is still where it’s at.
Most (if not all?) of the *arrs can use torrents. edit: as for guides, i would just check out yams.media.
