It's not like I'm expecting any loss: I rarely sell music, and when I do it is rarely to the states (I don't know why, I think my stuff ought to be way more popular! 😁). But still, it is disheartening to see there is now an effective wall, a country where I won't be able to (directly) reach. Congratulations to everyone involved.
[PS: if you're puzzled about what is this all about - a number of European countries, including Portugal, won't be shipping stuff to the US due to legal uncertainty regarding Trump's tariffs.]

I think dot matrix printers are still pretty common in many Point of Sales (POS) registers right? At least here in AU they're very common. I had a quick look myself today, there seems to be quite a solid market for these types of printers. In fact even EPSON still sell Dot Matrix printers themselves 🤣

I never used hardcopy terminals, either. We did have a dotmatrix printer, but that was just used as a regular printer.
Inkjets, I don’t know. They were pretty fascinating and cool when they came out. A lot faster than dotmatrix and obviously quiter. They never gave me much trouble, actually. But I switched to a laser printer long before crap like DRM’ed ink cartridges became a thing.

> A further check showed that all the network blocks are owned by one organization—Tencent [4]. I'm seriously thinking that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) encourage this with maybe the hope of externalizing the cost of the Great Firewall [5] to the rest of the world.
(One of the end goals is to simulate a hardcopy terminal on my old box. I’m waiting for another cable to arrive, I don’t have USB there. And then use
ed(1) like it was meant to be used! 😅)https://movq.de/v/850e04ba36/VID_20250821_180801.mp4.mp4

This confirms that this is just a total waste of time. Nobody ever checks this. Maybe this matters if you’re a distro, but why even bother as a single person …

Queria saber se as fotos que as pessoas mandam pro Instagram mantém os metadados, se podem conter localização e tal... (desconfio que a Meta guarda a sua localização no momento da postagem e os metadados das fotos para os fins nefastos deles mas publicam uma foto com os metadados removidos, mas não consegui confirmar essa informação)
Se tivesse uma tabela pra eu mostrar pros meus alunos sobre quais serviços fazem o quê com os metadados das fotos ia ser lindo...
