I also learned that a lot of thermal printer cameras targeted towards children can contain high amounts of BPA or its substitute BPS, so it's best to buy thermal paper from a reputable company like peripage or Phomemo, but you'd want to measure to see what kind of paper your camera takes first. Sometimes you can buy paper that's slightly larger and trim it, or slightly smaller.
I'm looking forward to (safely) experimenting with a thermal printer camera

Children are starving in Gaza today as a direct result of the Israeli government's decision four months ago to suspend all aid into the enclave — Israel did not allow any aid deliveries to Gaza between March 2 and May 19.
Israel's decision to suspend all aid and unilaterally end the ceasefire in March drove the situation to its current desperate state.
Tens of thousands more Palestinians were displaced as the war resumed, and Israel continued to block all aid.

in reply to 404 Media • • •Man I hope that'll be the last straw for my partner. She's had herself convinced for some time that paying Spotify is better than not paying for music at all.
I, personally, buy a lot of music, in both physical formats and digital, but it's always increasingly clear that Spotify is a net negative in the industry, especially where artist compensation and well-being are concerned.
I think the sooner Spotify fails, the sooner we can start to heal.
