@vaporeon_ if one had some sort of device that could print the manual....
@monorail @wallhackio @vaporeon_ :bing: do computer monitors count as purrinters
@aescling @monorail @wallhackio No, because their contents are lost when you turn off the electricity
The paper's contents aren't lost when you turn off the electricity
@vaporeon_ @monorail @wallhackio :bing: do e-ink displays count as purrinters
@aescling @monorail @vaporeon_ this is a very @Lady -coded thing to write
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ @aescling @Lady @monorail she says she would not say this bc a monitor is not a printer
@monorail @vaporeon_ we should invent a device which can do this. Words usually represent facts so I think we should call it a "Facts Machine"
@wallhackio @monorail @vaporeon_ facts are a public good so ideally it should be made available fur all to use. maybe using a phone number or something like that
@wallhackio I do! :3
But toner cartridges cost money, and paper costs money, too, so I think I'm not printing the GCC manual because I don't need it that much
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ what, like, take words from inside the computer and somehow inscribe them into the physical world? surely such a thing couldn't be done
