I would never have guessed 🙂

Thanks. We’re really looking at the same guy then. But unlike you, he makes me physically sick.

As a Vivek fan
Well, here’s one.
I’m curious: what do you like about him?
- Comment on Ramaswamy done at DOGE, Ohio gubernatorial campaign launch expected early next week: sources 3 hours ago:
I’m really curious to see how he does. I can’t imagine anybody liking this abrasive know-it-all quasi-billionaire who just spent the last few months suckling on the MAGA teat. Not to mention, he’s probably not white enough for a lot of voters.

American for-profits are so hysterical about not servicing poorer people at cost that they’d rather cut services to everybody rather than comply.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Yeah I did many posts over months on the lemmy.world 3D-printing community. In the best cases, the post went through 2 or 3 hours late. Sometimes up to 2 days late. Usually it never goes through though.
I usually post things with pictures I took, so I always have at least a thumbnail picture that I uploaded direct on lemmy.sdf.org.
This last post I did had a thumbnail hosted on SDF’s Pixelfed and it went right up.
As for lemmy.ml, I never have problems with it. It’s just this one time because I hit their images limit - that I wasn’t aware of and is documented nowhere as far as I know.

I think I finally found the problem with lemmy.world: that instance doesn’t like posts with images hosted on lemmy.sdf.org. Not comments mind you, those are fine. Just posts.
As for lemmy.ml, it won’t accept posts with more than 10 images - although they’re fine on SDF.
See here.
I do have a sell account and I’ve tried getting help from the bulletin board several times years ago. It was crickets, so I gave up.

I tried several things:
- Hosted all the images on my Pixelfed rather than directly on lemmy.sdf.org: no joy
- Replaced “El-cheapo” by “Cheap” in the title, in case lemmy.ml has some overly-busy PC filter and “el-cheapo” is now considered offensive or something: no joy
- Finally, I removed 2 photos to keep the total images in the post to 10: it went right through
So it’s the number of images. Apparently more than 10 is not okay with all instances. So good to know if you ever want to make a photo-heavy post too.
I’ve cross-posted this successfully to lemmy.world too. First time in a long time. And the only real difference with all my previous failed posts that only had one or two images is that the images aren’t hosted by lemmy.sdf.org.
So it would also appear that lemmy.world doesn’t like posts with photos inlined directly on the SDF instance.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
I can see this. And I’m in world.
When you mean “this” you mean this thread about federation issues on SDF, or my post that apparently didn’t make it to 3DPrinting@lemmy.world? Because the former was created on SDF - which always seems to be visible from other instances - while the other was created on SDF on a community on lemmy.world, which rarely works for me.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Yeah lemmy.ml is usually no problem. But not this time. The only difference I can think of is the number of photos in the post. Maybe it’s not acceptable? But it seems to go through just fine on the SDF instance.
- Comment on Biden warns of ultra-wealthy 'oligarchy' threatening US democracy in farewell address to the nation 4 days ago:
Not to nitpick, but it has never been a true democracy and was never intended to be one. It’s technically a democratic republic. At least nominally: it’s been a plutocracy and a gerontocracy for a long time, and it’s about to become a broligarchy.

- Comment on ‘Worst People on Earth’: Biden Announces Presidential Medals of Freedom for Hillary Clinton, George Soros 2 weeks ago:
Biden had a fleeting moment when he pulled out of the presidential race when it looked like history would remember him kindly. But since then, he seems to have worked extra hard to be remembered as one of the worse POTUS in history.
Clearly the man is on his way out and just doesn’t give two fucks anymore. He does any indecent thing without any sort of restraint. It¨s really quite remarkable.

I don’t mean to be depressing, but I think you’ll find St. Luigi is currently focused on saving his neck.

What I mean was you can not subscribe to OnStar, and then you don’t have OnStar no more. The spying hardware is there, just not use.
As opposed to modern cars with which you don’t subscribe to anything and they spy on you without your consent, and there’s nothing you can do about it short of - like you said - ripping out the spying hardware.

Alcohol may cause cancer - and cirrhosis, and hepatitis, and wet brain, and it makes you pee your pants in front of your friends who think you’re quite pathetic.
The US Surgeon General is right there. But when I look at who’s gonna be his boss in two week, I think I’ll just keep drinking…

I’ve wondered how hard it would be to turn off the cellular radio if you really cared enough.
You can but it’s not that simple: my neighbor found the antenna for his car’s spyware transmitter in the side-view mirror (can’t remember which car), cut the wire, and almost immediately, the dashboard reported a fault and started bitching and moaning that the car needed servicing.

Unlikely.
You might be too young to remember this, but privacy used to be a thing people paid attention to, at least moderately, even in the naughties and early tens. If OnStar had been caught deliberately spying on people who specifically rejected their service, it would have been a major scandal.
Nowadays the new normal is that Big Data does pretty much whatever they want unabated, people pretend to believe their privacy policies, and when tech monopolies are caught red-handed doing shady shit, people shrug and change the channel. But it wasn’t always like that.
