How many cans-of-beans.jpg can you store?
I have bad news for you.
These big pretty thumbnails, they're all broken.
Feels like this will benefit from some sort of fuzzy deduplication in the pictrs storage. I bet there are a lot of similar pics in there. E.g. if one pic or a gif is very similar to another, say just different quality or size, or compression, it should keep only one copy. It might already do this for the same files uploaded by different people as those can be compared trivially via hashing, but I doubt it does similarity based deduplication.
This is not quite true. All content from that instance that was interacted with, subbed communities, commented or upvoted posts get copied to the local instance. If the local instance defederated the bad instance, the copied content from the bad instance stays and is visible, communities, posts, all of it. It simply is no longer receiving new stuff from the bad instance. Lemmy.world is defederated from Beehaw.org. You can still see Beehaw's communities from Lemmy.world but they don't have any updates from Beehaw since the defederation.
Which turns the users into the workers in this equation since those services need to be maintained and contributed to.
As well as ensuring those profits will keep flowing through their retirement, and you get the long term planning incentive.
Nice try! 😂
They've thrown so much advocacy capital into the wind that at this point they need to offer something more than - hey look, there's a product you can use.
Pain from injuries treated with opioids opening the door to dependence, coupled with depression from loss of work setting it in? Given the dire state of disability benefits this wouldn't be a susprising pathway.
Isn't the EU preparing something similar?
Just Google "NASA twitter" and click on one of the pretty links up top. Those haven't been removed yet.
