I was really confused seeing this post, because I always assumed that Lemmy votes were public. Because how else are instances going to sync them? And indeed, the API exposes them completely, this change will just make it easier.

Then I was really confused when I saw so many comments being against it. A lot of "I'll leave if votes become public" in here. That's a lot of people who somehow assumed Lemmy was private. Aren't we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.

It's not better, it's just different, your comparison is flawed.
Personally, I prefer analog watches for most cases, because it's much easier for me to do calculations visually. To add 6 to 7/19 on a digital clock I need to turn on my math brain (19+6=25, 25>24 => 25-24=1), but on an analog watch I can just visually read the number opposite of 7.

And that's just one example, there are other cases, besides just being easier to read at a glance. I've used both digital and analog watches since birth, but analog watches are marginally better for daily use, where to the second precision isn't necessary.

Shibboleth.

Well... At least they didn't call it RansomMobile, I guess.

So it is. What kind of weirdo names their car brand "Oldsmobile"?

Introducing, the all new Oldsmobile Junktruck!

Chevrolet Lumina, right?

It's just the last part of the test.

There's also a scene like this in a French movie, albeit with Peugeots. I think it was one of the Taxi films.

Edit:
Found it, was Taxi 2.

No problem. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I used Sync back in Reddit days, but not on Lemmy, so IDK if that's Sync's fault or your instance's*. Try another client? I'm currently using Voyager. It's like Apollo for iOS, but free.

This is the link you're using:

https://imgflip.com/i/8zykr0

(I also noticed that you switched to using another image 8zyq0d vs 8zykr0, so I'll switch as well to avoid confusion)
It's not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:

https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg

As you can see, the URLs are different:

  • "i." in front of imgflip.com
  • ".jpg" at the end

Try copy-pasting this exact line:

![](https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg)

and you should get:


Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it's not breaking anything. We will know once you try.
