even if you were ok with renting a printer for some reason, I find it so creepy that HP needs to monitor all the stuff that gets sent to the printer.

Also I hope whoever decided that everything needs to be a subscription service is having a bad time.

i think emacs can probably already do that with the right plugins

lol Yanis is def making the rounds cuz of his new book. He also talked about this on Adam Conover’s podcast, Factually a few weeks ago.

iirc he’s saying that we’re at the point where some of the richest people have moved from owning the means to actually produce things to providing platforms for exchanging goods for money to happen on, while basically charging rent. He compares it to feudalism in that a company like Amazon or Apple with its app store are feudal lords who come in and collect money off of each transaction made by the “serfs” (people who sell and buy things on these markets), basically in exchange for being allowed to list. And increasingly, its getting harder and harder to do business without dealing with one of these tech giants. I think he mentioned how WeChat is another good example of this in China, where they’re involved in like everything

agreed. Its really annoying. I actually bought the humidifier I did because they advertised it as having a setting to turn off the power LED.

I remember the Nintendo Wii was terrible about this. Like if they pushed an update, the disk drive would just start glowing the brightest blue ever until you did something about it
