    Printers are a restricted item in most countries when it comes to manufacturing and producing due to counterfeiting, as such any open source printer you could produce would most likely run a foul of local laws due to the ability to remove anti-counterfeiting requirements.

    I’m not going to argue with you on words that have already become accepted by the people whom they affect, or that most of the things you are saying are othering to the people affected and work to say that there is something wrong with them for being different / have been used to actively dehumanize marginalized groups.

    I will say you are on the wrong Lemmy if this is the fight you want to make.

    Aautistic doesn’t follow English’s rules for making words, we don’t do double vowl startings unless they are from very specific loan words that were popular enough to break the rules.

    Same was alloistic doesn’t work without a hyphen because when you have an o from a prefix and I from a suffix you need to drop one of them to make the word work.

    Basically English has illegal parrings of letters you can’t make and when they would come up you need to hyphen them together or drop letters.

    See eject, which is ex-ject but we can’t have xj so we drop the x.

    Or attend, which is ad-tend but we can’t do dt so make it tt instead.

    Wading should be wade-ing but ei, so we drop the e.

    Etc

    The prefix Allo just means other, so when you have a pair of things the other one will normally become Allo-thing. Because we don’t make words the culturally accepted default position until there is something to contrast it with, most instances of Allo will describe the culturally accepted default.

    Aromantic - Alloromantic

    Asexual - Allosexual

    Autistic - Allistic

    White noise static is random but also follows a pattern so that any chunk of white noise will look pretty much identical to any other chunk of white noise. If they are replicating a wind noise it would be pretty much the same as white noise, totally random but following a strick pattern.

    See also how any normally distributed random event will create a bell curve of probability. The pattern is so strick it is a corner stone of statistics, however it’s cause it’s pure randomness.
