Glad you had something useful and helpful to add to the discussion. Have you ever in your life heard of “playing devils advocate”? Read a book some time.

Very reasonable take. I’d like to toss a little bit of credit Sony’s way for their excellent controller design at least! I’ll keep buying consoles so long as games are still sold on physical media for them

Trust me, I know. I criticize Biden because unlike Trump, he actually listens to criticism. It's good advocacy. Of course I will be voting for him, in spite of the genocide he's enabling.

I would be very surprised if it weren’t.

Any model that comes with an HP+ free trial subscription will stop working after the trial ends. You can then go out and buy “non instant ink” cartridges for a high price or you can sign up for their monthly subscription and get new ink and paper in the mail whenever it runs low. It’s a scummy aggressive marketing tactic.

I think it’s a you problem to be bothered by it tbh. Grow up?

If the other user doesn't want to provide sources, I won't really be convinced. That's me giving them a chance to back up what they were saying, which someone else did. You can stop policing what people say on here now, thanks.

The person I was responding to was saying “we have studies stating that…” but they failed to link the studies. That’s not my fucking problem.

Ah yes, BPA, which I had already addressed.

For example, bisphenol A (BPA), a plasticizer used for the synthesis of phenol resins, polyacrylates, polyesters, epoxy resins, and polycarbonate plastics, is used for the production of drink and food packaging, and in case of high temperature exposure or pH variation (e.g., washing in washing machines, food heating into the microwave, contact with acid foods) leaches into wastewater, contaminates foods and beverages, thus representing both ecotoxicological and health risks

Other than BPA, there is still not much evidence regarding negative health effects. BPA is in the process of being banned even in many US states, and many companies have already moved away from it because of these health effects. Other plastics seem not to have the same effect.

I don’t think you understand that you’re asking me to prove that something does not exist. You can’t prove that. There has not yet been enough study to prove that it does have a negative effect, aside from BPA which is already being regulated.

Only technically and only if you’re talking about chromium. Chrome is about as open source as Android. Meaning not at all by the time it gets to most consumers.

Jack Dorsey made it, and it's kind of federated. Might even hook into Mastodon in the future.
