Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

FYI the usual advice of just getting a Brother laser no longer applies, because they too, have enshittified and started adding toner DRM.

The "best" no frills printers remaining are either: old Brothers or new Kyoceras (for laser); or Ink Tanks. For the Ink Tanks, ironically the ones by HP are the best, with the ones by Canon and Epson either being designed to fail, or also having DRM.

No way?! So the only option for now is to buy an old printer?

Sorry realised the wording was confusing. As a general rule, any printer model with good availability of generic toner/ink is a good sign. The manufacturer offering Linux drivers is also a good sign.

If you want a new printer, the only "good" options are Kyocera (laser), or HP Smart Tank (ink tank).

Its cool, not that i need a printer anyway, just pisses me off how these companies operate nowadays.

Even if i did need a printer id never buy a hp, had nothing but trouble with em in the past.
