There are several different ways of inputting Chinese, but generally they all map 2~6 keystrokes to one or multiple Chinese characters, and then the user chooses one. I’d imagine it wouldn’t be much harder.

It’s the reverse, actually. Story writers modeled super villains after these people.

I think I comment quite a lot but rarely post. does that count as lurking?

Assuming that this does not only work on English words, this is actually really terrifying.

I also don’t like the fact that Signal needs your phone number and that the only way to connect to other people is by their phone number.

Yeah I eventually figured that out, hence the quotes. When my HP printer dies, I will replace it with a Brother printer.

I think you accidentally copied the body text as well. Cleaning up the link results in https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836811082599292, which works fine.

Not to defend HP^[1], but if you look closely at the picture, the sticker has an arrow suggesting you to peel off the sticker. I would still say that the intentions of even putting this sticker there is malicious though.

[1]: I’ve also been “scammed” by HP. I have a DeskJet 2130 bought more than 5 years ago. (I guess you could say it was from before HP went greedy.) It was under only very light use (occasional school stuff that needed to be printed out). Every time I came back to the printer after not using the printer for several months, the ink cartridges would have dried out. I would swap them out because they wouldn’t work even after shaking, none the wiser that half of the “empty” cartridges probably could have been revived by wiping it with a tissue. (I discovered this only 1 year ago when I tried it.)

I personally like MLMYM more, but you do you.
