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

RIP Nova.

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.

I might regret asking this, but...

why???

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.

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.

Realistically, if I'm using a minimal install, I probably want Debian for the stability anyways. It's still too bad though, always nice to have options.

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.
