RE: https://fosstodon.org/@CenterforOpenScience/117076822166523045
yea - big changes coming here
tldr:
> The Open Science Framework (OSF) announced they are winding down core parts of the platform over the next twelve months. If you use OSF as a key part of your research workflow, you will be forced to change how you work. No new projects after November 16th (2026) and all projects frozen on February 19th (2027).

as far as I know Brother HL-L2445DW (or similar models) are great. good toner and drum from 123inkt too. I bought one ten/eleven years ago and it's still in use
HP is increasingly creating proprietary DRM'ed cartridges, which prevent the use of unofficial ones. Dunno whether the same applies to toner/drum – fyi

And if you are worried you are part of the problem on Mastodon, now is a good time to reflect.
I also see some great critical posts that go beyond the mansplaining and take a curious perspective. I know @npub1xse…lgk3 surfaced information that helped me update my POV

A lot of people are doing [@Mer__edith](https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith ) a disservice, and are hyperfocusing on minor incorrect bits.
I am happy for people to disagree, yet the way we disagree with one another matters. Mastodon bro's are quick to jump on a high horse and it disappoints me to see this being such a common response.
There is a reason lots of folk do not engage on Mastodon cuz of this - I know a ton of them

I love this thread by Meredith. It conveys a lot of knowledge about centralized systems and in that world, hyperscalers are a necessity for capitalist processes to be upheld. https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115445701583902092

wow that is much higher than expected. Thank you for surfacing this.
Churning my recurring donation now. Id much rather put that money where it makes a bigger impact in that case.
