I wondered why I hadn’t seen all this drama, but then I remembered I blocked all the vegan communities right after I joined Lemmy, along with all the trans and gay stuff, and the tankie instances.

I don’t want to see their shit and chances are they don’t want to see mine.


Unfortunately he saved it as a JPEG 87 times in a row.


It’s perfectly fine to have ultra safe spaces, but I do wonder why they’re then putting them on the Fediverse.


A wise man once said “Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.”



I mean, that’s an extreme example. That’s way above what on even a 4K BR disc.

I think Netflix is like 6GB for a two hour movie 1080p which is more manageable, but my connection (at a whopping 6Mbps upload) would just about be able to host that for one other person to see.

Modern connections can do a lot, but it would have to be a large peer to peer solution to be back in the hands of the masses. A couple of Linux nerds with a spare server under their desk isn’t going to cut it. Realistically, popular videos would have to be on a CDN of some sort, and that ain’t particularly cheap at scale.

Freedom isn’t free, as the song goes.



I can’t find any evidence that the inbuilt iPad Pro SSD is faster than modern NVMe SSDs. It’s somewhere between 1 and 3 GB/s depending on the model. The Crucial P5 I got ran quite happily in the PS5 at about 5GB/s.

It’s all very much a muchness for the kind of loads that iPads will typically be handling anyway. I doubt there’s anything that can process data fast enough to make the SSD the bottleneck.


Even then it depends how many you want to print.

Often will work out cheaper to have somebody else print them and post them to you.


User expandable/replaceable storage, please.

There’s no reason whatsoever that a 2TB iPad should cost £1250 more than a 128GB one. I put an extra 2TB in my PS5 the other week for under £100.



Lemmy isn’t a lot better, tbh.
