Great… Signal is imperfect.
Can you suggest a perfect alternative?
At this point I’m just happy my family have tolerated it to the point we’re not using Facebook Messenger, Google chat (it whatever it’s called this month) and WhatsApp.
The xmpp or whatever other convoluted alternative you’re about to recommend is not something I’m going to get 20 or 30 family and friends to switch to.
Signal is imperfect… But not as bad as many other options.
Posts must match the context of the community.
Like no topless posts wearing underpants in a pussy community for example.
Haven’t seen it get out of control here yet, but it’s madly out of control at Reddit with mods actively not caring about it.
Why have categories if posters are going to ignore them.
Yep. There was an assumption 20 years ago when common switches were 100Mbps and running cat5e that you’d have to upgrade cable to get the next speed tier, 1Gbps.
It propagated wildly, but was always incorrect. Cat5e was very much capable of gigabit Ethernet by design.
It was only beyond gig that you’d need cat6, and even then at short lengths 2.5/5/10Gbe has a good chance of working on cat5e anyway (but don’t do it).
High quality cat 5e would have done the job.
Original cables must have been faulty.
That’s some Total Recall shit there. Love it.
Claims to describe the claimed issues with the framework display but instead literally outlines the issues with the chosen OS instead.
Like… fine, be annoyed, but at least be honest. The framework display has no faults.
Linux had issues with DPI.
It’s still an issue, still legit, not it’s not a faulty display.
I’m with the others recommending Brother. They aren’t perfect, but they’re the least bad.
Running about a 10 year old MFC 9349 CDW here, only changed the black toner so far. Used a cartridge reset truck I found on YouTube to get more life out of the original black before that.
Scans to network nicely, does 2 sided prints etc.
Go for a Brother.
About damn time.
Trying to find your way around an unfamiliar system where everything started with K was enough to put me off desktop Linux.
My pending or existing projects.
A software defined radio server. Lives up top of an antenna mast running off PoE with an RTL tuner connected.
ADSB receiver, similar to above, but on a fixed frequency.
The above 2 could be virtualised in theory, but there is an advantage in having the cable to the antenna short and thus the sbcs live up antenna masts in an enclosure.
MMDVM hotspot for ham radio (this might not count as it HAS TO use the gpio pins on the pi, this can’t be visualised even with a USB port passed through.
As an audio server that would bitstream 24bit/96kHz to an amp.
This I’m totaly fine with. I hate being advertised to… really really hate it… … but if i see something i like and there is a subtle link in the message or a comment by OP that is totally fine.
Back when amateur content was popular on reddit it actually went well… I actually think the prominence of OF posters has put off the original amateurs.
I think if it’s done well both can co-exist with care and attention to rules. A pro OF community can permit OF advertisers if they want. But while having overt OF spam might add content, it will at the same time drive viewers away.
Also suggesting people that don’t want to be advertised to are anti sex work is stupid, and the few fools who have said as much are really just stupid.
I don’t like ads, any ads, and yet i still support businesses that advertise.
I have no issue with OF, but i don’t want to be overtly advertised to.
If i find myself in a /c where OF spam is out of control and the mods don’t wish to do anything about it then I’ll just move on.
Many NSFW Reddit subs turned to rubbish when OF users spammed the hell out of hundreds of subs, when where there content was not a match for the sub. If this happens here then it will suck as well.
I’m happy for OF users to post content appropriate to the /c they post in and include a link to their OF in the body or in a following message. But having a pair of tits posted in an anal /c along with 50 other /c’s with “My only fans 50% off right now” as the title… thats spam, clear as day, and it has no place.
And for those saying its content, there is no need to grow for the sake of growth, let’s rather grow naturally and at a steady pace and maintain some quality.
Yeah… Noticed that. I don’t like it, but that said won’t it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?
I’d rather they didn’t exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.
I’m split 50/50 on this.
Even then you’d still want 100% with encoding running at a lower priority.
