Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Assuming I don't want to buy an Epson printer from the late 90s, what are some actual options for DRM free no subscription printer? Or the entire industry is fucked?
Last time I checked, Brother was still the best brand for no nonsense, cheap printers, even with good Linux support. I have a laser printer from them.
Not sure if it's still the case.
As for an ink printer... Man good luck with that.
Just bought a brother printer. Works great with Linux, no extra BS. Love it.
As far as I can tell, it's literally the same thing I bought almost 10 years ago. Which, I mean, is fine. I don't need anything more.
Which model?
HL-L230D
It's monochrome, but in every other way all I could want
