I will agree that they are better for the planet, but I wouldn’t say that they are expensive, but they are more expensive than a ball point in most cases, becuase they are refillable. Platnium Preppy is a good example and can be had for usually less than $5. For nicer models that wont break you look at jinhao or hongdian with some of them being between $10-$30. The black forrest is particularly nice.

fair if you decide to take up the hobby, spend a lot of time with pens and , and talking with random people (info dumping… sorry) about fountain pens.

    Currently reading Dark Lord Davi (its a lot of fun if you are into the litrpg space, Dark and very funny) and Mistress of Dragons (picked it up in a bundle, not sure if I would recommend it but I keep pressing through) .

    Edit: the book is called… How to become a dark lord and die trying. It the first book in the Dark Lord Davi series.

    For those of you not aware of the fundamental bias in this statement, the CATO institute is a far right think tank funded by the Koch Brothers. They would rather say that America is dumb than admit that american policies are a failure.

    Real talk for a moment, there isn’t a system alive that currently solves the supply chain attack issue. there’s a trade-off between usability, and security. You can be a secure as you want to be, all it takes is a small accident by one developer in a package that you’re using, even if they’re using gpg signing to accidentally upload A package that’s been tampered. It stinks, but that’s the reality. What I think should be applauded is the thoroughness that the arch developers are going through the repo right now trying to find these packages. I don’t know the specifics, but if they’re like other open source developers, they’re unpaid people doing this out of their love for the software and community. and more than likely, this is a headache on top of headaches that they already have that they’re doing for the love of the community.
