If someone finds out that this is fake, please just… shh, let us have this one

As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.

My criticism would be that there’s no cuticle, but if it’s 100% realism you’re after then I guess that’s not top of the list…

Can’t stand it in my ass (Mungo’s Hi Fi)

It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren’t exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.

edit: Here’s the original hosted on the Internet Archive, running on the Ruffle emulator: https://archive.org/details/flash_badger

Wow, the quality of those “drawings” is amazing. I’m guessing these don’t get published five times a week.

Looks like the autolinking misses the ! at the end of your link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover!

I’m glad they asked, because now the answer is here for all of us without each having to research the answer.

And bacon flavoured

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 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.

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.

I just woke up and this confused me

The Indian guy one is brilliant.
