I hadn't heard that, so I looked it up. It's true, although it was every six months, not three, and California has closed that loophole now (dealers now issue and register temporary plates for new sales). I didn't see anything saying he'd parked in handicapped spots outside of the Apple car park.

I was on a site that did that and was confused why my text search wasn't finding much. Thanks devs for breaking basic browser features.

I had to edit mine because I forgot the format and "corrected" you to @linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works

You missed the !: !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works

Thr machines know, they just don't understand what's garbage vs what's less common but more correct.

It's so good that initially assumed they were different photos and the joke was it wasn't an edit at all.

Once heated, the milk's amino acids acted as a mild sedative, helping one sleep.

Surely the amino acids don't need to be heated before drinking to work?

This is great composition, and a cool photo

I don't know this meme format, who's that? Tim Apple?

Or (B)ritain? Once I even found (T)he UK, which I only discovered by searching the page source.

I thought you mean he'd mailed it to you.

It's almost a productivity hack.

You're right, and even the Lemmy devs get this wrong in the docs:

You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them, or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

Note that it doesn't talk about the quality or appropriateness of the comment, just that you can suppress it by downvoting.

Ok, so Lemmy doesn't cause the same amount of duplication, but I'd still argue that dedupe is valuable: it saves on hosting costs (your costs, in this case) and users will get a small advantage in having slightly higher cache hits.

Yes, for example go to https://infosec.exchange/explore

I see the top post as https://infosec.exchange/@nocontexttrek@mastodon.social/113433063621462027 and the image is https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/cache/media_attachments/files/113/433/063/582/671/258/original/71da3801e4e4f08c.png

The link is to the original on https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/433/062/676/773/993/original/f828afef5cc7ed1c.png but when you click image the javascript loads a modal with the local cached version (same image as the thumbnail that infosec.exchange loads.

There's lots of different codebases across the fediverse so perhaps some hotlink, but local copies is the default.

I think the major advantage is the deduplication - when an image goes viral across Mastodon (or Lemmy) it's currently stored hundreds or thousands of times, each with its own cost. Do you dedupe (for either your customers' benefit or your own)?

The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it's a pretty important server and if you didn't like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

That makes me want to see if an old blog is still posting... Overheard on the Tube, Overheard in London, something like that...

Maybe something like a Teasmade, which you can set to make tea at a certain time, like a caffeinated alarm clock.

I just woke up and this confused me
