@GrayGooGirl @roger_booth @arstechnica You have more faith in our populace than I do. I'm glad someone does.

@malcircuit @tezoatlipoca My phase has been over a year long. I'm starting to think it's not a phase for me lol

@malcircuit On closer look I think yours is a slightly different model. I am not surprised it goes through batteries quickly as it's doing quite a bit for AAAs. I prefer easily replaceable options though so I'll live with the AAA experience. Do note that when the battery dies, your current text/font settings are lost. Happened a couple of times to me before I realized what was going on.

@malcircuit Pretty sure we have the same label maker. My only complaint is the battery life. I use high capacity AAA rechargeable batteries and still it burns through juice. Otherwise yeah, it's dead simple and just works. Brother makes a companion computer app a friend insisted on trying. It was interesting but not worth the headache of introducing modern enshittification into something as simple as printing labels. Labels are my safe space to let my organization compulsion to run free. Not another thing to troubleshoot.

@zackwhittaker No one answered at CISA because no one works there anymore. It was gutted because CISA was obviously an agent of the Biden administration to embarrass Trump. Or did Biden do that too...somehow after his term ended

@rysiek ugh. I have been debating where I wanted to move to when I ditch GitHub for close to a year now. I got real hinky 'vibes' when I looked at GitLab's website last week and the entire homepage was a love letter to AI. Fuck that shit. Self hosed Forgego or Codeberg it is then.

@iain Ah thanks for clearing that up for me. That makes more sense.

@nuclearplayer I've always been confused why people use gh instead of vanilla git.
