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.

In all fairness you could fit a small helicopter in their if you wanted too. The 747 Freighters are used to move plane parts and they even based the dreamlifter off of it!

Not sure I’d agree with any study saying it is physically addictive, habitually I’d agree. So you’re willing to ignore science… that’s sounds like a river in Egypt to me mate.

Habit forming and addictive mean the same thing in medical terms. Cannabis has observed withdrawal symptoms like sleeplessness, appetite changes, and nausea that classify it as physically addictive. You’re ignoring these because it dosen’t suit your narrative and beliefs.

My point on the sugar though is it certainly does create addiction. I agree with this provided your talking about refined sugars. The point is though it’s not a drug. Sugars are a natural part of the human diet. They literally make up your DNA. Refined sugars are not natural though.

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.

It is physically addictive. Research has shown this already I am fairly sure. It’s not nearly as addictive as some other things like alcohol obviously. Psychological addiction also shouldn’t be dismissed.

Sugar is dangerous? Maybe refined sugars are - especially if you’re diabetic - but most sugars are actually natural and some form complex carbohydrates and fibres. It’s a lot more complex than this hot take. Sometimes even diabetic people need sugar in an emergency condition called hypoglycemia. It’s also not in any way a drug; really wish people stopped saying this. Also genetic material is partially made from sugars like ribose and deoxyribose.

There are real life consequences to smoking too much weed and this can include damage to your lungs and can negatively impact the brain. Brain problems is mostly an issue for people under 25 though so smoking after this age is less problematic. That being said it’s still much better than some other drugs like you say. Before people ask yes this includes alcohol as alcohol is quite toxic to brain and body when consumed habitually.

Weed can’t replace all prescriptions either. It’s just not as good at blocking pain as opiates even if it’s a lot safer. That being said if it helps you then that’s great - especially if it’s in edible form or spray form as this is healthier than smoking.

I am not saying police in my country are perfect but they at least aren’t this bad. I can see why ancaps and regular anarchists are are a big thing in the USA.

Then it’s a bad analogy. Kbin and Lemmy work independently. Linux and GNU are part of the same stack. Like it’s not remotely comparable. They are also written in two different languages so I doubt they share that much code on the backend at least.

I thought Kbin was much newer than lemmy. So Kbin would be the new stepchild?

Unless you plan on reading all that source code yourself and verifying it’s bug free then it’s not more secure at all.

What are the two in S tier?

I don’t know why they are booing you, you’re right! If you don’t want a printer that’s a loss leader with expensive ink then buy a tank printer or a laser printer.

Cartridge based inkjet printers are almost always a loss leader and you also buy the part that does the printing every time you buy a cartridge. The print heads are actually on the cartridge, not in the printer at all.

Tank based inkjet printers are very different - the printer costs more but the ink is cheap. They also have no way of knowing what brand ink you use since it’s just ink - not a whole set of print heads and a microchip. This is all because the print heads are part of the printer - not included with the ink in a cartridge.

Laser printers are also great but they get even more complex. They have drum units which can be part of the toner cartridge or a separate unit that needs replacing periodically depending on the design of the printer.

I know what markdown is my guy. Are you sure it’s standard markdown? I was under the impression that reddit had their own dialect but I could be wrong.

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.

I would have thought that a whitelist would be a better solution, because at least then your users can see posts and comments from the other instances when interacting with communities outside of beehaw. As it is now you can’t see comments from those instances even on communities that aren’t part of those instances. A whitelist would also let users on beehaw join communities on lemmy.world instead of needing a separate account.

I should point out that I don’t know for certain if this is a feature that has been added yet, whitelists might not be supported at all for communities though I think they are.

Is it that you guys don’t want to interact with those instances and their users at all? If so then this decision makes sense to me especially if they have done something very harmful.

Edit: are you like a mod or something here?

Thanks I have now found some of them at least. The interface for joining communities outside your home instance is kind of iffy. Having some issues using Jerboa and lemmy web in general compared to Sync and reddit website. I imagine the interface will improve over time, at least I hope so.

The comment I replied to seems to indicate you don’t support violence in any circumstances. Maybe you should reword it if this isn’t your beliefs.

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.
