There are so many high quality rips out there. Bothering to tip these yourself makes not much sense, unless its very obscure stuff.

I got it running on a raspberry pi and have disabled the machine learning parts in the docker compose file. Works great.

Brother was the last decent printer company, wasn’t it?

it’s like that Indiana Jones Adventure game.

I loved Whacky Wheels so much but recently put it on my Steamdeck and eh, it did not age well. Very choppy gameplay. But it still has a place in my heart.

- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 days ago:
True, can’t argue with that. I am maybe a bit too pragmatic when I say, I don’t care about the difference because the outcome for me as a user is the same.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 days ago:
See my other comment. That is not really the solution since you will simply get banned again after a while, depending on how much you interact there. Unless admin/moderation changes, making a new account just gives you a bit of extra time using those communities.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 days ago:
A little, sure, but from my point of view (which you are happy to disagree with), very little.
Personally I am a big Star Trek fan. I was stoked to see there is an actual dedicated Lemmy server for it, with many communities focused around everything Star Trek. But I disagree with their admin/moderation so much I had to change my account to another server. At some point ended up blocking the whole instance because I just cannot keep myself to just reading what others are posting.
So even if I can use another server, I cannot use those communities. Similar if I were a vegan and would not agree with what some of the more extreme users are posting.
There are not many active alternatives for these communities on Lemmy.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 days ago:
Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.
One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.
Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.
So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.

How would you know it thinks its another hippo? How about that it just needed a friend and found one?

The amount of boomer humor posts in this community is just baffling.

Woah, thanks!

Is that from some series or movie? So damn relatable.

Geez. The being lied to wasn’t really very secretive, it was out in the open for a very long time.
This is a very weird apology for just being stupid.

OK, this is going to be interesting… How did you prove it?
- Comment on Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations 2 weeks ago:
So how did you attach that fan to the case? Looks like an interesting idea seeing that its powered through the USB.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 weeks ago:
Can you selfhost a sync server? Be completely independent of them?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 weeks ago:
I think the big difference is that you can use it for free without any account needed, and all your data is stored locally in a format that remains accessible to alternative apps.
So the moment they start doing questionable stuff you are not a hostage to their app. There are alternatives, they are just not as nice as this currently.

With those images, the no lifeguard beach obviously. Looks like a chill beach. They should have drawn it super dangerously, rocks, animals, whatever. Like this its a no-brainer.
