In 2005 I bought an inexpensive black-and-white HP laser jet for $99. To this day it still prints flawlessly after sitting idle for months or years. The toner never “dries out” or goes bad. Nor have I ever once needed to print in color. If I ever do, I’ll go to a print shop.

I think I’m on my 3rd toner cartridge since 2005. Highly recommend.

How has he not been forced out of Tesla yet? Does he spend any time with them at all?

The speed at which humanity refined flight after the Wright brothers is truly amazing.

Fun fact: one of them is named Spirit of Kitty Hawk, after the place where the Wright brothers flew.

And that’s why corporate media will always suck.

Does this feature help our users? Yes, but does it make us more money? No. So we’re not doing it.

I have not looked into it or anything, but I think a tumblr alternative would do very well on the fediverse. I think it could even be better for self-hosting than Lemmy.

Excellent!

Me neither!

Fantastic!

Agreed. It sounds to me like lemm.ee is in good hands.

I think it’s natural that there should be a small collection of large, production-class instances that host the vast majority of users. The important point is that there are more than a few, and certainly more than one.

I also think it is important for instance admins to lay out their plan for how they intend to host and fund an instance if they intend to be production-class.

We also need some kind of account backup and migration tool so that if an instance goes down, those users can easily recover on another instance.

I was just gonna say that. love the colors!

I think it’s only older people who remember what the internet was like before everything became corporate controlled or SEO optimized.

I always found it hilarious and sad when people interacted with brands. “Someone you know liked Walmart”. Why?

In an SSO scenario, your home instance would still need to be around to act as the IDP. I don’t think that adds much in terms of functionality over what we have now.

The ability to backup and migrate your account is critical to prevent losing your data if an instance goes down. SSO wouldn’t help you in that scenario.

He’s the biggest grifter in history.

I’m liking Memmy a lot so far.

I’ve been there! Very cool place.

Cute ☺️

That’s a very good point.
