Why can’t I see half the pictures posted here?
As pro-VPN as the fediverse appears, a surprising number of instances block VPNs.
I would suspect it’s a cheap and easy way to cut down on bots. Costs rack up quick if you want something good
Which Lemmy client?
Also, UK or not?
Browser client, not UK, on Lemmy Today instance too.
Ive seen a few over the last week also. Not sure what is causing it. 99.9% of pics are fine…
They dont show on Boost either, so I dont think its a client issue. Some bug in picture federation…
{“code”:“command-failure”,“msg”:“ffprobe Failed with exit status: 1”}
I’ve run into a few today as well, pics in the comments, the net here was slow and last week they did open eventually, but today I see the gap for a pic in some threads but nothing loads, standard web client def not in UK hehe
Why’s he got a bandaid on his neck
Asking the only question on my mind, thanks for getting in early!

Aswering the only question on my mind, thanks for getting in early!
Sickled himself in his confusion
There is no better, quicker way to turn a dyed-in-the-wool, rugged-individualist, capitalist American into a raging communist than to mention anything to do with their cars: Gas (should be cheap), highway lanes (no tolls and MOAR!), or parking (free parking was the 3rd commandment).
Guys, gas is still cheaper then Euro land.
It’s pricey, not I’m going tankie high.
Yeah, but in euro land that high gas price is because they’re getting taxed… and that tax is used FOR THEIR BENEFIT!
Our measly gas taxes apparently can’t even keep up with the whole ‘bridges falling apart’ thing.
I pay over $7 per gallon in EU.
Bro only USA exists! Stop pretending that Europe or China exists! Jesus was born in Philadelphia…
America is a hoax created by Columbus, to swindle brits out of their monies! There’s no America!
Sighs wistfully If only Europe had responded that way to Columbus
Is the red flag for tankies or for communists?

It is kind of crazy how price controls suddenly become fashionable when there’s a shortage. Like yeah, that’s how this whole “supply and demand” thing works!
From both a moral and an economical perspective, price controls on oil in the US would make tons of sense right now.
- The US oil producers have done nothing to deserve the current arbitrary price windfall. So morally acceptable
- The US economy would do much better without the price increase
The US is self sufficient with oil, so technically there is no problem with shortages if price controls were put into place.
But as Krugman said, in the current political environment, such price controls are simply not being considered. The US is run by free market morons.
Tankies gonna tank.
These idiots will never link this to (hyper)capitalism and megacorps and let alone think of alternatives remotely different from the current status quo.
Gas prices may affect the midterm votes though and they may vote against the extremist right wing candidates and for the liberal right wing candidates, which I guess is a small win.

And then flip right back when gas doesn’t magically become $1 per gallon and the nazi-pedophile coalition promises them $1/gallon gas.
Sir. That sickle is $5000
americans are too docile and subjugated to think remotely like this i fear
America got conned by the monorail guy. But they didn’t even need the show and dance and the charismatic guy, they just saw a fat idiot and were like: you racist? Yes? Get in there.
“I’ve sold fascism to Italy, Germany, and Japan, and by gum, it put them on the map!”
False, monorails are a form of public transit which is inherently COMMUNIST and must be eliminated (except for spectacle, we have them in Las Vegas and Disney)
Or do things like Europe, with policies focused on the citizens and a reasonable free healthcare . But whatever…
with policies MOSTLY focused on the citizens
There, fixed it for you 😁
Half cup of water is still something. Especially in the desert.
I don’t get why they are whining about the fuel prices, that’s dirt cheap.
Big words from someone who doesn’t have to pay out the ass for health care
Not to them it’s not. Proportionally, it’s more than what many can afford. Just like how your fuel prices are dirt cheap to someone living in Hong Kong.
