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

I’m not sure anyone will get the gravity of that last image. It’s just an MRI scan, you get those for many things. But not sure what makes sense to replace this with either.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eh, I’m all for equality. Women can be racist too!

I love the unit, R/ha.

We can do better than 0.1 R/ha though? What’s the R/ha of other countries?
