Is this ever noted in any of the documentation, outside of some fine print, with the printer to let someone know that it's being done? If your product is secretly leaving indicators for anyone aware of the indicators to track your actions in some way, that's problematic in my opinion.

Given a printer is arguably a lesser issue anymore, but the same idea applies with other tech.

Would this require feeding it batteries like a triggerhappy machine gunner?

if you primarily watch videos with your smartphone, couldn't you call it a pocket tv?

Isn't this simply a contrivance to uphold a questionable system?

I just hope this pointless move won’t bring down the wayback machine.

What was the pointless move you're referring to?

What sets IceShrimp apart from the other Misskey forks in your opinion?

That's kind of what I was thinking may be the case, but I'm not sure if I'm asking this well enough or if I may be misunderstanding ActivityPub.

It's not clear to me how, without communication/searching outside of an ActivityPub instance, it would ever find other ActivityPub instances to connect to and communicate with.

When I hosted game servers: Depending on the game, you may have to fix something every few hours. Arma 3 is, by far, the worst. Which really sucks because the games can last really long, and it can be annoying to save and load with the GM tool thing.

Was that a mix of games being more involved and the way their server software was set up, from what you could tell, or...?

Yeah, to clarify I don't mean organizing/arranging files as a part of maintenance, moreso handling different installs/configs/updating. Sometimes since more folks come around to ask for help it can appear as if it's all much more involved to maintain than it may otherwise be (with a mix of the right setups and knowledge to deal with any hiccups).

Any sort of entertainment media, whether movies/books/shows/games/music, so you got it with your reply!
