There are ways around that. See my other comment replying to the same parent as your comment.

Another option could be to have the originating Mastodon server provide the preview image in content-adressable way, and have a standard allowing websites to provide the same: if the hash of the file(s) provided by the first / a Mastodon server to another matches the one from the target website, no need to download from the target website. Only if they differ then you'd actual download the data from the target website.

Each Mastodon server from the federation could quickly decide whether to trust that preview data from the peer it gets the rest of the post from or not.

This is basically taking ideas from IPFS but applying it to just the preview data that ends up being downloaded over and over again. You could also make that part a blob of data stored directly in IPFS. But IPFS was pretty slow to resolve content, when I last tested.

Who's the artist?

Why is the artist credit lobbed off?

OK, you're barely making sense, sorry.

The days are long but the years are short.

They are such a parody, it's incredible.

Except it's not, because it's about loyalty to the leader, not any kind of efficiency or sense.

This is quite literally the stuff that results in revolutions. People can tolerate inequality only up to a certain level. Even some ultra rich can see the situation can't remain stable.

People have literately been killed by "police" in the USA while trying to protest and do something.

I'm with you, it's not a fucking competition, we've got to fight to unite. And I say this a someone who's French.

Either I don't understand what you're trying to say, or you don't understand how politics and organising works.

I don't know, but guessing they connected it to wifi because the thing asked / said it was part of the set up process.

Most people don't know about the garbage fire nature of connected devices.

I'll echo something others have said in reaction to other drinks, but it sounds like you've not had good champagne then.

Every concert helps fund the war. Here are some who chose to go.

How? There's no info, the press page explains nothing.

I understand that as a Ukrainian, the guy behind the website hates Russia with a passion, but if you're claiming people are complicit with war and war crimes for playing sometimes one concert, I'd expect an argument that explains how.
