As far as I know he's just telling someone to pass along the messages and someone else is posting them on his behalf.

Can be done during any form of visitation, bribing guards... or I suppose just having someone make up plausible sounding tweets you'd write 😭

The drought statistic is true but the water consumption one is batshit insane lmao. It all comes form a press firm called Mordor Intelligence which hasn't meaningfully backed up that claim.

AI datacenters are likely to not even breach 100 billion gallons BY 2028. (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/08/datacenter-ai-drought-water)

Obviously that's still a lot of water, but 264 billion gallons right now is an absurd claim.

If you didn't know, people with ADHD (and Autism) have problems with interoception, your internal perception of your body and its states, though ADHD and Autism can both affect it differently. I like Cleveland Clinic's description, though I wouldn't say it's prescriptive to everyone with ADHD/Autism or that it will always be the same way for those who do experience it.

Autism . Interoception accuracy (how correct you are at identifying feelings) is low. For example, it might be hard for you to regulate or express your emotions. You might also have trouble identifying bodily needs, like hunger.

ADHD . Interoception attention (how often you notice signals) is strong but you may have trouble acting on those signals. For example, you feel thirsty but can’t decide what you want to drink.

It could be that you simply don't even notice your body saying you have to eat or go to the bathroom because you're hyperfocused on something, you mix up hunger with thirst, or it could be that you notice but can't bring yourself to do something about it.

Either way, ADHD and Autism can both affect how you understand the state of your body. That is not the same as your impulse control, desires, cravings, or planning skills. You can listen to your body saying it's hungry, be tempted to get the high-dopamine cookies out, but make a sandwich instead.

Listening to your body is NOT the same as doing exactly what your brain wants. That doesn't necessarily mean it's easy or always possible to actually do what's best for yourself when your brain is actively working against you, but I think that painting listening to your body as something that fundamentally means giving up control to your impulses is just plain reductive and stupid.

If anything, choosing not to listen to your body can mean you don't listen to signals that could prevent those unwanted behaviors. For the longest time I just ate as many treats as I could because I felt as though I couldn't stop myself, and eating sugar just felt too good, until I eventually realized that it always gave me a stomachache and made me feel sluggish, so now I can more readily stop myself by comparing my current state (no treat, feeling fine) with my possible future state (momentary treat, stomachache for the rest of the day), and decide that maybe I shouldn't have my 10th cookie of the day 💀

I spent YEARS putting myself through pain while overeating unhealthy food because I simply didn't pay enough attention to my body to realize that I didn't always feel this way... until I began overeating treats that day. And now that I'm medicated, if I don't pay attention to my body, I won't realize I should be hungry and I won't eat food until the evening when I've been running off 400 calories all day.

Well... yeah?

For people with ADHD, you're just effectively bringing certain brain chemical levels (or your brain's response to existing chemicals) to a more typically normal baseline.

For people without ADHD, your levels are already typically normal, so now you're just getting high as fuck.

This feels like it has some merit to it but also reads like the ramblings of a mentally insane person 😭

To me it seems like they're really pushing for mass-market appeal right now compared to just maintaining or slowly growing their existing more dedicated/niche base.

You can see it with them adding widgets, a free VPN, more visibly advertising trackers blocked (at least on Android, not sure about iOS), rebranding with a new mascot, and now going back to a platform that still has a ton of user lock-in keeping people there. They're trying to pull in regular people, I presume so they don't become as dependent on a base that has more strongly held convictions that Mozilla has to comply with to keep its users.

If it works out for them, it'll be good for their long-term funding and security, market appeal, etc, but bad for users that care a lot more about fundamental principles.

Of course!

For the USB one I don't think it even has the ability to use WiFi in any way, but it seems you might need to install their drivers to then locally be able to set the label size within a system dialog. In my experience, at least for the wireless one, it doesn't necessarily require its own drivers to work, as it works with Windows' built-in printer drivers, and worked well enough for me on Fedora Linux. (But you might have issues with stuff printing in the wrong orientation and have to account for that by rotating your files before printing)

For the wireless one, I think you'll need at least some form of network no matter what, at least for setup. (I do want to clarify though that you can still use the wireless one with a wired cable to send files to print to it, and as far as I can tell that works even if WiFi is off) They really want you to use the app, but since it really is just another way to access the web UI, they do also just have a guide on how to do it without the app.

I set mine up on my WiFi network that does have internet access, but theoretically since the UI is on a local IP it should be able to work on an isolated VLAN or something similar where no actual link to the Internet exists and it's just a LAN, but I have no clue if it tries to connect to a server anywhere on startup before allowing anything else to happen, so your mileage may vary. It's unfortunately not something I've tested for.

It also has an option to check for updates, I presume to fix any bugs or future potential exploits, but I've never seen my printer update once in nearly a year of owning it. (As far as I can tell this setting can't be disabled, all you can change is if it prints a label to tell you when it updates)

Regardless, as mentioned previously, it should be able to function in terms of just the printing itself with just a cable and no access to the internet afterwards, so you could always set it up on WiFi, add all the page sizes you want, then disconnect it from your network and only use it over USB and it should work fine :)

You can change its IPv4 and IPv6 address/netmask/gateway/prefix length, DNS servers, and hostname in settings, install a custom TLS certificate, etc if any of that helps.

Also, you can change the default print settings, which I personally very much recommend. Depending on what you're printing, you might want to increase the print quality or darkness, particularly if you print a lot of labels in succession that might otherwise start printing a little more faded on the lighter settings.

That's all the info I can think of that would probably be relevant, but if you've got any more questions that I somehow missed I'm happy to answer them too lmao

It's a Rollo! (refurbished)

I have the white wireless-capable one, but the USB-only model should theoretically operate the same in all other respects.

To manage the wireless one you use the app, or just go to the web URL for the management portal... because all the app does is just redirect you to that exact URL in-app 💀

I know a lot of cheaper models do still work well, but Rollo is just a much larger, more well known brand that also just has a lot more troubleshooting info behind it. (not to mention better printer driver compatibility)

Definitely don't buy the overpriced official Rollo labels, though. They're no better than any other thermal labels on the market!

One of the first posts you'll see on the Lemmy.ml homepage is one celebrating Tass and RT, which are both Russian media outlets known for mixed and low factuality and for spreading blatant misinformation and state-sponsored propaganda for Russia.

I'll also just say from anecdotal experience, 90% of the time I have an interaction with a lemmy.ml user, it's them doing apologia for Russia/China, or making insane claims that justify the genocide of the entire American nation (and thus its citizens) as a way of 'getting back' at America for its imperialism.

I have seen less of that from .ml than I used to... but mostly just because the craziest ones just moved to lemmygrad.

I've found https://megalodon.jp/ to work similarly. Japanese site, and has some quirks with how large of a page it will archive before only saving a screenshot, but it works.

Unlike the communistic system where the political leaders use the system to enrich themselves?

An actually communist system would not have leaders that could enrich themselves, because communism entails the absence of private property. (including money, owning means of production that aren't directly from solely your own efforts, etc)

I wouldn't call myself a communist, but even I know this.
