- B/W
- Reasonable toner/spare part prices.
- Real PCL capabilities.
- Cross Platform (Win/Linux/Mac)
- Wifi and/or Ethernet
- A4 is enough

@annika @ECSA Urgh. Does there exist a tool that formats these “cool” social media posts with Unicode characters?

I hardly believe that the social media managers paste in the special characters by hand?

Meaning someone built a tool that deliberately destroys accessibility for fake and in my eyes ugly text formatting.

There are no fancy characters for letters like æ, ø and å, meaning these are rendered in the native font within the “italics” letters; imagine that.

@futurebird My mom has dementia and purchased shit on Temu all the time. Packages that were never picked up, cause she forgot, of course. After half a year trying to mitigate by uninstalling Temu, closing accounts, installing ad blockers, I had no other choice but to close her Facebook account where all the ads and other scams she fell for originated.

The Internet is not safe for people with cognitive impairment, at all.

Work is so human. Do this!
