@tindall@cybre.space While an interesting change, the way the article is written really confuses me - io_uring is a Linux-specific thing to address Linux-specific problems, and surely the underlying concepts behind io_uring have been attempted before in other microkernels? But the article frames it as if Linux is leading the way in research here somehow...
printer rant, cursing
@silvermoon82@tech.lgbt @00Ni So interestingly it seems like there's been a bit of a resurgence lately of laser printers aimed at consumers but still with roughly the same reliability (especially from companies like Samsung) - which has created the curious situation where a lot of home printing is moving back from color to monochrome :p

@silvermoon82@tech.lgbt @00Ni FWIW, laser printers seem to fare *way* better on both reliability, lifespan, and consumable cost, even the cheapo tiny monochrome ones. They tend to cost more than inkjets in purchase price, though.
(I have one of the more expensive options to desperately try and buy my way out of printer misery, a Brother DCP-L8410CDW, and to my surprise it's been *basically* trouble-free since!)
printer rant, cursing
printer and everything around them make me irrationally mad. why the fuck do you only want ink from your company, when other ink works, too? why does my ink cartridge needs a chip? why do all these different companies need different methods to put fucking ink in their shitty ink spitters? i know the answer is capitalism, but i am still irrationally mad and want to do unspekable things to the designers of these abominations.

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
