minus-square frog 🐸 ( @frog@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoI don’t print a lot (average 1 page a day), so having the printer actively “awake” and consuming electricity all the time is pretty wasteful. So that wouldn’t move it into the category of “not evil” for me.

minus-square frog 🐸 ( @frog@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoTo me it’s just part and parcel of owning a printer.
