It’s not my comment. You are talking to the completely wrong person. Go look at their comments.

They already answered this:

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

This is good to know. I had no idea toner is so bad for the environment. It’s yet another reason to use ink tank printers.

lots of ink paying for more than you need

You pay less for an ink refil on an ink tank printer than you do a toner refil for a laser printer. This is despite the fact that the ink refil lasts longer.

I agree with the idea that infrequent users should consider laser printers. The main issue I have with them though is the cost. A colour laser printer is more expensive than even a tank printer which is expensive to begin with. It also can’t do photos very well which is something a lot of people use printers for. Greyscale laser printers are only good for text.

Some of you should try ink tank printers. Low ink prices and lots of ink in each refill. They come out of the box with thousands of pages worth if ink! Only problem is they sometimes get clogged.

If she didn’t charge it would be free labour regardless. Also if what I am reading here is true and she is russian then the wages are likely more poor than you think. $500 would be worth more in that country.

Any idea on if her accusations are actually true?

Unless you plan on reading all that source code yourself and verifying it’s bug free then it’s not more secure at all.

Now that’s just wrong

I know what markdown is my guy. Are you sure it’s standard markdown? I was under the impression that reddit had their own dialect but I could be wrong.

A large open source project is generally more secure than a closed source one as it has more developers working on it and more security experts reading the code or testing it. If you want an example look at how many developers are working on Linux vs Windows and there security history. Once lemmy is big enough it has the potential to be more secure than things like Facebook or Twitter even.

You apparently don’t understand how password hashes work. Nobody is storing your password on any well implemented website. You can’t just grab someone’s password if there is a breach, provided the people who built the website aren’t completely incompetent.

With these misunderstandings and the fact federation was confusing to you I am not sure I believe your claim that you are a “tech-friendly” person. You sound like someone who has above average exposure to technology rather than someone who is actually skilled in it. There is nothing wrong with this in itself but please don’t claim to be proficient when you aren’t.

Is reddit markup patented? If not someone could create a fork/mod of lemmy with this feature.
