I have a brother inkjet (AIO but I only ever really use the printer now) and a Samsung monochrome laser.

They both work tremendously well with Linux. Honestly printers are easier in Linux now than they are in Windows.

I’m 38, wife is 33. We both dreaded entering our 30s but we both agree it’s the best decade (so far).

This is one reason why I’d rather get delivery from DD/GH/UE instead of calling for delivery (if it’s even offered)…I don’t want to give my credit card over the phone.

I’d much rather do it through an established app/storefront (I.e. Square or Toast).

That, and anxiety. I really don’t want to talk about my pizza. Much rather press a button.

They have their place but I totally get you.

For example, when I’m planning a big home project, I want to watch a lot of DIY channels (plug for Home Renovision here) on the basic procedure.

But, if I’m repairing my dryer, I don’t want to be unlocking my screen, rotating, hitting play, watch a few seconds, pause, put it down, work, repeat. Just give me something I can print out ffs.

People go with the default “name brand” unless they have reason to think otherwise.

You search “Reddit” on the App Store, naturally most people are going to pick “Reddit” by “Reddit”. Not Apollo, or boost, or BaconReader, or RIF, or any other (absolutely amazing) third party app, unless they have some reason to think that it’s better than the official app. Which they don’t, unless someone told them otherwise, because they are conditioned to the cluttered ad-ridden garbage interface of new Reddit, and most people don’t need mod tools or accessibility features.

Then the instance admin holds the private key and can still decrypt.

If you cared that much about privacy in DMs, we should have a “profile page”. Post a PGP public key there. Then you can send PGP encrypted messages to anyone who you have a public key for.

Yesterday there was at least one lemmy app that was multiposting comments, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 times.

What? I had Tom in my #1 spot the whole time (didn’t want drama over who was #1), and he never once asked me to go on vacation.
