Has anyone any printer recommendations here on fedi?  

I usually try my best to avoid a life with printers but unfortunately I am in a situation where I indeed have to print stuff on paper every now and then.

My requirements are basically:

• Good and out-of-box wireless support on Darwin and Linux systems
• No ink-jet
• No HP
• No weird “This thing suddenly breaks after $WARRANTY_DAYS + 1 days of use”
  • (Therefore please only recommend devices you have used for over a year)
• No cloud/subscription requirement
• No online requirement (this doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive to the wireless requirement; I am fine setting this up isolated)
• I would like to not pay more than 200 EUR for this, but this is not a hard-limit

Today I delivered to a client the first installation of Sylve on FreeBSD that I have prepared. He knows well that we are still behind, but he wants to experiment.
For now, extremely satisfied!

Thank you, @hayzam !

In a spontaneous burst of rage, I just accused half of my co-workers of being idiots and basically asked to be fired.

They insisted to have the whole team dissect an #AI generated user story which was basically word salad, putting parts of the software into relation which are basically unrelated, using words which are clearly designed to "sound smart" but actually don't make any sense in context.

They accused me of not taking the time to unearth the hidden gems in this #LLM generated masterpiece and outright rejecting it as a piece of #AIslop.

It took me about 30 seconds of reading to come to the reasonable conclusion that polishing the turd would be a waste of company resources.

My team disagrees.

I am so done with this industry.

Sadly, I need money to survive in this #Idiocracy.

Just how am I supposed to earn it when every IT company seems to be convinced that idiots mindlessly pushing buttons is the future?
