Like Upton Sinclair said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Once they’re out of the party, they can’t be fired or voted out for saying it.
Also, they’re spineless.

He’s so upset Kamala stole his momentum, but the sequel never does as well as the original.
Don’t miss the reality of what he’s saying here. He’s not saying that you should make your own decision about who to vote for, he’s just saying that you shouldn’t listen to her.
He still wants you to listen to him, and vote in lock-step with whatever he spews out.
I didn’t think he was having an affair with Laura Loomer until he basically insisted he wasn’t as an answer to an unrelated question.
Gavin Newsom. #SavedYouAClick
Agreed, but that feels to me like a separate conversation entirely.
I keep seeing this in threads like this, and…honestly I don’t think any Americans on Lemmy are in danger of thinking it’s all in the bag and staying home on election day. Reddit, sure. Twitter, definitely. But Lemmy?
This is a long-term problem that will require a long-term solution.
Ahh, right. I’ve made the classic mistake of thinking my usage was normative.
Interesting. We don’t upload many pictures, either; though admittedly I hadn’t thought about it, and that probably doubles my total.
I’ll have to check my math again. But are people uploading more than that? On my friend server, with 50 people, we’ve had about a dozen uploads all year, and they’re all pretty small PDFs and images. Everything else is rich links.
“Storage management is expensive”
It’s really not, though.

ETA: I stick by my premise and my conclusion (storage management isn’t expensive, and it’s probably a Nitro thing), but my math may be wrong and my usage is apparently not normative. The costs are probably not so negligible, but I would still assume they aren’t as low as they want us to think.

Discord has 200,000,000 MAU. If every single one of them uploaded a file every month (of pretty much any size) and Discord tossed it into an AWS S3 IA bucket, it would cost them $500 to store that data. Their total S3 bill for storage would be five hundred US dollars. Storage is dirt cheap. AWS doesn’t even charge per gigabyte on that storage type, it’s so cheap; they charge for downloads.
So, ok. Let’s talk downloads. If each of those files were 25GB and downloaded twice (probably an underestimate, but not everyone is uploading files, so I’m going to make the completely unfounded assumption that it’ll all shake out), it would cost them a couple hundred thousand dollars. Which, ok, that’s much more significant than $500. But Discord made $575 million last year—so the S3 download costs would be 0.03% of their total revenue. They probably spend 2-3 times more on coffee.
Storage management is emphatically not expensive.
My guess? They just saw that the higher upload limit was eating into their Nitro subscriptions.
Do it, Donald.
Call Richard Bruce Cheney a RINO.
I need the laugh today.
You don’t need to add the layer of separation:
When you’re not able to denounce
people who promoteactual Nazis you’re way outside the realm of what’s acceptable.
If you promote a Nazi, you’re a Nazi. I call it the transitive property of Naziism.
Ok Donny, you got this. All you have to do is come up with the most natural and least bizarre reason that Vance (ugh!) isn’t weird. Just come up with it now and you can say it over and over again for the next two months no problem. Ok ok ok here comes the moment, what are you going to say?
“so straight…”
What happened? I wasn’t paying attention. Covfefe. Hamberder.
I think the bigger issue is that IP rights can be held by corporations at all. Yes, it should be shorter, but it should also only be able to be owned by individuals.
Copyright and patents, at least. I guess trademarks make sense to be owned by companies.
“Well yes, but actually no”
Yeah, that’s pretty standard for the Y, but that’s the cost for everything–weights, track, courts, swimming pools, most classes, personal training, childcare. As opposed to Peloton, which is $50 for just the spinning class.
I was a moderator on the Paint.NET forums for a long while in the mid to late 00s. You would be surprised at how many questions we got about when Paint.NET would get “the new ribbon UI!”
The answer was never, incidentally.
