That's called hoarding disorder

It doesn't matter, it's a clone with same functionality. There are users below uploading the same way I did and it uploads on their instance (piefed).
Realistically it's just your front end lacking image upload function, but there is back-end for it.
This brought back memories. We used to have a local image host and there was a hidden /recents page that I discovered. It listed all the recent uploads by users. I don't think it was meant to be public, because the shit I could find there was both too personal and NSFW
I'm using Boost for Lemmy and I never questioned how it works, but I can just add images here straight from my gallery.

Huh. I'm from Baltics, no VPN
I'm not sure about US, but in EU there is a law that makes companies accept products for warranty without original box. Saving every box is nightmare, so the law is basically common sense.
It's a bit weird to me how hyperfocused gamers are on Saudi Arabia. No, they do not own EA, it's a joint venture between two other US investment firms;
Silver Lake Partners: A private equity firm focused on technology and media investments. Silver Lake is also part of the new Oracle-led joint venture set to take on management of TikTok's U.S. operations.
Affinity Partners: Led by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, the firm is a participant in the buyout.
Why not focus on weirdly rich Trump's son-in-law? Knowing it's family, the thought of Trump family owning EA sounds worse than Saudi Arabia fund.
Great, it's going to be bad for even longer
Rockstar: Abandoning and cancelling GTA V (single player) expansions and purely focused on milking online for pay2win. I'm not hyped for 6.
EDIT: The worst part - declaring war against modding community because it affected their online sales (since people enjoyed playing modded singleplayer). It backfired, badly, but they still went for it.
I don't think sexual orientation needs a reason, it's just there.
Did you just call Mexican culture offensive?
