Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’

It would probably ruin them and their work though. While I have little sympathy for the plights of billionaires, it’s difficult for people to not allow that level of ridiculous wealth and power to affect them. These people have found a much healthier path to success. I’m sure the living ones are all financially comfortable without the ridiculous distortion of excess wealth.

Also though I’d object to anyone being a billionaire since it’s absurd.

I never had a PS1 but had always heard of this game and wanted to play it, so I did it on emu a few years ago. Thought it was pretty cool… gameplay wise, kind like the evolution of the Genesis game Flashback.

If someone is shallow enough to reject a potential relationship based on phone choice, I don’t think it was going to work out.

It’s been pretty steady. I’ve alternated between kbin and lemmy for a while. I generally only use the web interfaces… I don’t think the kbin app is ready for release yet. Overall I like the interface more than the default Lemmy, though it has some strange aspects also. It doesn’t seem there’s a way to follow hashtags. Overall I find the microblog interface somewhat confusing (I can’t even tell what the up arrow does).

Apple clearly expects/intends you to get a Mac if you have an iPhone. For a notebook, that’s great, I like MacBooks… there’s no way I’m getting a Mac desktop, though. There’s obviously great interoperability with iOS devices and MacBooks but not so much with Windows. Apple has an iCloud extension for Explorer, but it isn’t very well written and wastes a lot of resources. I also have never been able to get windows to connect to the iPhone for a wired USB hotspot.

I’m on kbin so downvotes from other instances (??)… they don’t even show up.

In general, the anti-apple cult is much stronger than the supposed pro-apple cult. I haven’t seen people really give that much of a fuck about apple positively in years but if you prefer an iphone, some people insist you’re obsessed with them.

It’s difficult to display an image without the client knowing the URL, but it would be possible to use a temporary URL that only works for that signed-in user.

I think that’s the best solution. I can’t see a reason any client couldn’t upload the image when the post is submitted. Currently the uploader is some fancy javascript deal and it’s unnecessary.

S3 is expensive, while if you use a third party like img.bb or imgur, you never know when they will close, accidentally lose your data, or decide to delete it.

Yeah, this is only if what OP was saying was a real legal threat, which I don’t think it is.

That is essentially what I was saying. It does seem like it would take a scripting element in addition to SQL.

Sites like reddit could have about the same problem. You can post to some obscure profile and use reddit as image hosting and it might take quite some time before anyone notices. This is a little worse though because it wouldn’t even be listed on a profile page.

Not familiar with Lemmy specifically, but usually in an app like this, while of course the files are stored on a filesystem, IDs and metadata are stored in the DB and associated with each other through relations. It seems in this case one way to express it would be ‘don’t delete every image that is associated with a valid post or in-use avatar, but delete everything else’.

Take this random image for instance: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ede63269-7b8a-42a4-a1fa-145beea682cb.jpeg
associated with this post: https://lemmy.world/post/4130981

Highly likely the way it works is there is an entry for post 4130981 that says it uses ede63269-7b8a-42a4-a1fa-145beea682cb, or an image table with a relation to the post table where an image entry (with whatever ID) that is ede63269-7b8a-42a4-a1fa-145beea682cb says it is related to post 4130981. Whatever the specifics, it would be possible.

I haven’t worked with Lemmy, but I certainly could craft a script to do that if I was familiar with the database structure. Perhaps I’ll try installing it and running an instance. In the meantime, surely there’s someone with an instance and SQL skills who could figure that out.

It would not be difficult to use SQL to delete any images that are not associated with a post or active as an avatar etc. So, set that to be run periodically and it would solve this problem.

Seems like more of a lateral shift than a downgrade
