It’s not my comment. You are talking to the completely wrong person. Go look at their comments.

They already answered this:

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

This is good to know. I had no idea toner is so bad for the environment. It’s yet another reason to use ink tank printers.

lots of ink paying for more than you need

You pay less for an ink refil on an ink tank printer than you do a toner refil for a laser printer. This is despite the fact that the ink refil lasts longer.

I agree with the idea that infrequent users should consider laser printers. The main issue I have with them though is the cost. A colour laser printer is more expensive than even a tank printer which is expensive to begin with. It also can’t do photos very well which is something a lot of people use printers for. Greyscale laser printers are only good for text.

Some of you should try ink tank printers. Low ink prices and lots of ink in each refill. They come out of the box with thousands of pages worth if ink! Only problem is they sometimes get clogged.

A large open source project is generally more secure than a closed source one as it has more developers working on it and more security experts reading the code or testing it. If you want an example look at how many developers are working on Linux vs Windows and there security history. Once lemmy is big enough it has the potential to be more secure than things like Facebook or Twitter even.

You apparently don’t understand how password hashes work. Nobody is storing your password on any well implemented website. You can’t just grab someone’s password if there is a breach, provided the people who built the website aren’t completely incompetent.

With these misunderstandings and the fact federation was confusing to you I am not sure I believe your claim that you are a “tech-friendly” person. You sound like someone who has above average exposure to technology rather than someone who is actually skilled in it. There is nothing wrong with this in itself but please don’t claim to be proficient when you aren’t.

Would it be easier if you could create a whitelist rather than a blacklist for a given instance? As in inviting people in like you do when creating an instance in beehaw rather than having to ban accounts once they have proven to misbehave.

If someone takes violent action against you or people you care about, what do you suggest to do?

That’s unfortunately the situation for a lot of people in this world. It’s also sometimes the only way to enact change. It should be a means of last resort, but a means nonetheless.

Absolute pacifism is functionally and morally equivalent to giving up in certain circumstances.

Edit: This obviously isn’t the situation to be using violence though. Nobody needs reddit to survive, at least I hope not.

I actually just joined today and this is my second ever comment. It wasn’t too hard to get setup, given I hadn’t been on any fediverse until now. I have to say I like how well the instances link together too, at least from what I have seen so far.

I am using Jerboa at the moment and while it is kind of basic it seems faster compared to Reddit Sync or the official reddit app. This is a very good sign as I have had issues with both offical reddit and sync in the past including a fair amount of crashes. I might have to look for a desktop app soon and at some other fediverse types (don’t know the terminology), I know there is one for videos for instance.

I am kind of interested to see an instance like this. I am a member of r/Autism_Pride and some similar subreddits so this seems like somewhere I could spend some time.

p.s. Is there any drug or harm reduction communities I should now about? How about fountain pens or baking bread? Random I know but thought it was worth an ask.
