Does that really scale though? The load on a server is not dependent on the number of users, but on the number of communities from other server that the sum of user is subscribing to.

Which means if you have a server for 100 users, you still need to pay for the 1000s giant communities that those users are subscribing to, as they are being copied over in your server.

So if you have a few mega server like Lemmy.world, they each pay say 10000£ in hosting a month (number taken out of my hat), which is fine because they have as many users that can contribute to it financially ( via donations, ads etc.). But small servers won’t be able to support that load and will ultimately close.

That sounds like a design flaw if you ask me but i did not see anyone mentioning it so maybe i’m misunderstanding.

I got a 403 the first time I visited it, then when I went to the source, and back to the image it works. I suspect they have a cookie or something to detect that you’re a valid user.

Because this is a different domain the cookie would not come with the image request.

Just a wild guess

Actually I found a way to make it work, bit hacky, but you can add #.jpg at the end of your URL. For example, here is your osaka picture as an image post pointing directly to twitter

https://lemmy.world/post/341872

I’ve used

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Foojf9RaEAA1GM-?format=png&name=small#.jpg

As the URL to force image detection

(if you’re not a dev, I assume this is your face right now, sorry about this:

I’m not a lemmy dev, I just took a look at their repository

I believe it’s the regex that detects if something is an image

A reddit image URL is :

https://i.redd.it/2obhjz2wb37b1.jpg
or
https://preview.redd.it/7s1p7mal707b1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=f741210c6c54fed7c3ed06aaabdb1f0a49fd46cb

in both cases it has “.jpg” (with the dot) in it so it passes the regex. It does not need to finish with it.

Whereas the image your provided does not have that in it.

You can instead download the image and post it like this, or similarly take a screenshot.

I believe that sort of website does this on purpose to make sure they don’t waste server resources on other website that do not drive any ad revenue to them.

Yep no problem! Half her orders have been to the USA or Canada and have all been delivered without any issue so far

I’ll go against all the comment here and say yes. It looks like apple is delivering a fantastic piece of hardware, and some basic solid features software wise. But the price point also means the user base will be more likely to buy expensive applications, compared to say the Quest. Some predictions

• Next iPhone will come with dual camera that allow to take 3D scenery, that can only fully be appreciated in the headset.
• The developer ecosystem will be super active. We know that’s going to be a line of product for at least 10 years, and being the first on the market in your segment can be critical.
• The price point is of course really high, but a year or so after they’ll announce the Apple Vision (not pro). This will remove some of the decorative feature, such as the outward facing screen that shows your eyes etc. and reduce the price point to maybe 2K. Again, possibly more expensive that people would be ready to pay, but don’t under estimate monthly payment plan elongated over 3 years. In between FOMO, social proof and the actual usefulness it will find its user base.

And at some point, Samsung, Google, and possibly maybe chinese constructers etc. will come up with their android based alternative. Starting as cheaper / not as good, and slowly catching up and building new features. “Samsung vision, gaming oriented with tracked controllers included”, “Pixel Vision, that integrates with your full suit of google products and give you great quality for less price” etc.

Thanks :)

Just FYI she does sell internationally, a good half of her sells are to the US or Canada. Thanks to that she likes to call herself an “international business artist woman” :D

Thanks, that sounds sensible. Glad you liked those design, fire flower is one of her favourite but no one bought it yet :/

Wrong community, there is nothing mild about this

Haha I was just suggesting that to my wife yesterday. We need to keep in mind allergies though, can’t just send a peanut through the mail to someone who might be deadly allergic to them. Maybe some seeds for “Hylian Tomatoes” or something

Thank you so much :)

Thanks, I’ll have a look over all that over the weekend.
