Same thinking here. Caching media pretty directly undermines any Safe Harbor protections you have running a site, not to mention the resource overhead required.

Yeah but getting it out means you don't have to frantically clean the tumeric off of every surface before it stains.

41, can and have been driving manuals exclusively for the last decade. I only learned about 15 years ago when I picked up a beater Datsun 720, but once I went manual I was hooked. Every car I've bought since has been a manual. Keeps me awake and engaged while driving.

Agreed. Cutesy emotes are great when you aren't trying to concentrate on multiple other things at the same time. When I'm mid-game the only chat I read needs to be static and non-moving.

Same on the dogtags. Never got into 10six; I was more of an FPS gamer at the time. Lots of Duke Nukem 3D. Lots of shareware Quake.

What I've personally seen is that the moment they're mentioned they descend en masse on a thread. Most comments are fairly innocuous but there's always a few that are overly aggressive, and if nothing else the sheer volume can be overwhelming.

You can kind of get that on Kbin, though it shunts all the Mastodon stuff over to the "Microblogging" section. Also it's not exactly bug free right now: a lot of the time you won't see all of the replies to a post, especially if they're replies to replies (and so on and so forth).

The idea is there though, and the devs are working on it constantly, so one day it should work correctly.

yukichigai , 11 months ago to asklemmy in do you use e-inc tablets?

My spouse bought a Kindle Paperwhite that was gathering dust on a shelf, so I loaded it up and gave it a whirl. I absolutely love the thing: it's light, clear, easy to read, and easy to load things onto (especially via Calibre). The only thing I dislike about it is that the idle battery usage seems completely random at times. Sometimes I can leave it alone for two days and it'll be at half power, sometimes I go away for a few hours and it'll drop from 80% to 8%. Usually it's fine, but I've learned to keep a power source handy.

yukichigai , 11 months ago to lemmyshitpost in Pick your Lemmy instance wisely...

That's nice and all, but "join our instance" and "we're defederated from the other two biggest instances" are in direct opposition to each other, doesn't matter what excuses you use.
