Didn’t believe them then, don’t believe them now.

RIP Nova.

Slithering room only!

I love my mono laser printer. It’s an older Canon I got from a retired lawyer, so it has probably printed a million pages already for all I know. Haven’t had to futz with it since I popped in a new toner cartridge that was ~$40. If I need to print color, I go to the local copy store, but that’s rare anyways. Been recommending the same for all my friends and family.

I definitely can’t speak about general consensus, but that’s what stopped me using it.

No AI please - it just dilutes and lowers the overall quality of the community. I’d much rather a handful of genuine posts/comments from real people than a flood of hallucinations that range from being utter gibberish to making you question your own sanity.

Also, be aware that you will need to fix your modlog page by running a query against your database

Totally fair - thanks for the response!

Genuine question - what’s the advantage of Pixelfed over Lemmy? Is it just more photo-oriented in some way? Or just different strokes for different folks?

Great to see more federation though!

Sounds like you might just want to look into a more curated home server.

I maintain my own lemmy server, so I get to select which communities show up in my feed and which don’t, and since it’s my own server, I can filter and curate my feed for myself (which so far has not been much work at all).

I can confidently say that I haven’t had any racist or other undesirable memes flooding my home page.

Even still, you can get a small VPS and connect a VPN between it and your LAN, using it as a gateway with a static IP.

Gotta watch out for bandwidth limitations and data caps on small VPS like that though.

The Pixel ‘a’ line of phones has always been my go to - able to be unlocked/rooted easily, decent cameras, reasonably priced (7a starts $500 at the moment, and 6a is $350 new), although I have heard that the 6a and 7a using Google’s processors can really kill your battery life.

I’m writing this from a 5a that I have been quite happy with myself, but it’s getting a bit older now, so you might now want to go that many generations back.

I’m looking out for the new 8a, might be my next phone, not sure yet.

Huh, I always figured South Park made up Casa Bonita. TIL

Good for them though!

Does that even work? Don’t most of the caretaker’s attacks still find you otherwise?

That’s the thing, nobody really knows!

And it’s exponentially based on how many pixels those characters take up

And even with ‘AuthN’ vs ‘AuthZ’ it always takes me a minute to spell them out and work out which is which

What a coincidence, I just finished writing the first revision of my own bot for this. It’s rough, but it works for me so far :)

It might be related to Samsung pushing apps/updates to your phone. I’ve seen them do similar on a galaxy tab before as well.

Reads like an Onion headline

I’ll never federate my instance at least
