@southpaw1312 20 S well usually that's because the notification bar expands to make the camera align with it

also I assume it'd be quite a problem when the phone is used horizontally, which I guess rarely happens for me

71 S it's been 7 years since the iPhone X unleashed the plague of notches / hole punch cameras on phones
I still haven't given in but, my options are getting... limited would be an understatement, basically only sony still makes phones without those

27 S unfortunately it's thermal paper so I can't exactly have archives of rolls of fedi posts
well I can, if they don't fade too much, who knows what'll happen

27 S well I made it include all posts with the word "bot" in it
which means it also includes "bottom"
not sure if that's a feature or not?

finance 71 S seems like NVDA fell after some Chinese startup said they trained a really good LLM for really cheap

t~ Qr ... but LLM training will probably expand to fill all available space so why worry (/half-sarcastic)

27 S also I should probably add a few keywords to print automatically
probably like 'robot' and 'drone'
or users, if you'd like that

(it's printing from my timeline; if anyone would like to be excluded lemme know)

71 S I have made it convert webp to jpg
I think, not quite sure

also apparently megalodon-rs didn't handle mentions for firefish correctly so I had to do it myself - hopefully it works now?
