  • It really is Lemmy wide too

    I saw them start up yesterday because I browse by new and all, and it was accounts from all types of random small instances that had been created in the last week. Then all started spamming at the same time.

    What I dont understand is why someone would go they all that hassle to make 100s of accounts to all spam the same thing in a language that the vast majority of people who see it can’t understand.

    My only guess is it’s like how people will reply with Chinese language charectors talking about things in China, thinking that the person they replied to is paid by the Chinese government and would get in trouble? It’s the only time I see Chinese characters anyways.

    Which never really made sense to me to begin with, but maybe someone is super deep into conspiracies and think by doing this all the Chinese actors won’t be able to visit Lemmy?

    Shits almost weird enough for me to translate it, but it’s almost definitely going to be stupid bullshit so I haven’t tried.

    Obviously not, but considering you’re having difficulty understanding basic rules that exist on every form of social media, there was probably a good reason for the first one.

    Lemmy is the easiest to get away with it, but you keep making similar versions of the same username and immediately talking about how you’re evading bans.

    Like, it’s hard to believe you’re really not able to understand this, which would leave trolling as the only explanation for your behavior






  • Well, yeah…

    If you upload a picture to Lemmy, it’s going to get saved by a shit of federated instances.

    That’s how federation works, but once it happens, it’s hard to get all of them to delete it.

    The fix is easy:

    Upload somewhere else (theres a bunch of images hosts) then make your post point to that image host. Federated instances just have to host the link, so it’s good for them too.

    I’d love to see something like the RES feature where Lemmy can still show an expandable thumbnail for non-hosted images. RES pulled it off fine years ago, not sure how hard it would be.

    But that would fix all these issues


  • If it does that would help…

    Weighing it down gives traction. Hell, most hillbillies load up their truck beds in the winter because the weight is such a big help, especially in the back.

    I think I might have heard something about weight distribution though, like a normal truck has an engine over the front, but Tesla’s weight is in the middle of the axle.

    But this is the tires, and probably something about whatever this things equivalent to a transmission is. Like you only need to put your foot on it a little for normal driving. Which means take offs in snow would almost always spin out.

    So like the RPMs of the wheels go up to fast? I think that’s the easiest way to say it.

    It makes a vehicle seem faster the less you have to push on the gas pedal, it’s a pretty old trick, because most people never floor it, so they don’t notice halfway thru it stops doing anything.



  • Well, they advertised it as a truck that does truck things…

    And the people with them now, ordered years ago.

    It all comes back to range, and the range is horrible. So out of the factory they get “fuel efficient” tires that are great for range and terrible for everything else.

    Put on truck tires, let alone winter, and range will nosedive.

    Not everyone will drive one in snow, but all of the suckers who bought one know the range.

    3 times as tough as steel and they’re making bulletproof glass out of it…

    There’s a low budget pc game about colonizing Mars and this was one of the things in the tech tree

    Crazy to see it as a real thing now.

    Like OG aluminum, this is going to be crazy expensive at first, but in a century it’ll likely be cheap and we’ll see it replacing glass in the most mundane uses.

    We’ll see it replace phone screens pretty quickly tho. A few mm’s of this and we’ll have legitimately unbreakable screens, and even if a scratch happens, you should be able to just buff it out. They’re probably wrap entire phones it honestly. One solid piece that makes repair impossible on your own.
