I miss dithering. It’s got a certain je ne sais quoi.
If you need an ink jet, I can also recommend the Epson L3260 ink tank. You pay a bit more for the printer but the ink is fairly reasonable.
realitista@lemm.eeto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•EU to provide Ukraine with over 1 million shells over 2025, allocate over $2 billion for military aid from Russian frozen assets11·6 days agoWhatever they get basically. I think it was somewhere around 1-2 million in 2024. It looks like they may manage to get to 4-5 million this year which will put them just behind parity with Russia if they can keep getting more from North Korea or elsewhere.

realitista@lemm.eeOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor.

You can replace the heads on it when they get dull (which takes a long time) and it has an automatic cleaner which keeps it working well even when you don’t shave for quite a while.
realitista@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Germany sees new debate over possible ban of the AfDEnglish10·9 days agoI would say it more like “forms of propaganda (lies) that extreme right wing parties are willing to stoop to that left wing parties are not”.
realitista@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Germany sees new debate over possible ban of the AfDEnglish6·9 days agoWhile I don’t disagree with you in principle, the reality of having only 1 political party after this also doesn’t look particularly good.
realitista@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Russian drone strike caused tens of millions worth of damage to ChornobylEnglish28·9 days agoThe war will be over only when Russia suffers a full, crippling, embarrassing defeat and not a moment sooner. This is and always has been the truth of dealing with Russia. To that end the maximum possible force should be used in order to save lives and damage to Ukraine.
realitista@lemm.eeto Virtual Reality@lemmy.world•Half the Size & Half the Price is What Vision Pro Needs to Take OffEnglish2·9 days agoI think the main thing holding Vision Pro back is its use case. People mainly seem to be using it for monitor replacement, something which I feel like the Xreal Air and Viture Pro have better figured out in terms of price point and form factor. On the VR/AR side of things, meta and Sony are killing them on software library and cost. It doesn’t leave much room for Apple.
realitista@lemm.eeOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Ukraine ramps up drone strikes on Moscow as Russian-friendly leaders set to attend Victory Day parade16·9 days agoIt’s probably not a good use of resources as all the air defense is there and there’s a chance of killing a foreign leader. Best to blow up everything else that’s had its air defense pulled away. But the temptation to humiliate Putin is always there.

realitista@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Many in US and western Europe think ‘third world war likely within five to 10 years’English1·10 days agoI don’t disagree with you here either. It will be one or the other.
realitista@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Many in US and western Europe think ‘third world war likely within five to 10 years’English2·10 days agoThose are precisely the kind of conflicts I’m talking about.
As for USA vs China, it all hinges on what happens in Taiwan. If the USA feels it can onshore all chip fab it probably will let Taiwan get overrun. But I don’t think that likely in the term in which this conflict is likely to happen, so I think the US will be pretty directly involved in this one.
