    .ee is quite chill. Mods on communities don't really seem to do the ban hammer like the explicitly left instances do.

    But there is content there isn't allowed, but I don't really consider that censorship

    I would do option 3, both as a user and if I were to make my own service. I'd let a dedicated image service do it. I'm not worried about IP leakage and if I am I can use a VPN. If I want to be that concerned about it, I think the responsibility is on me, not on the service unless they promise that level of privacy.

    I vote for what gives the best experience for users and makes running the service easier and cost effectivem

    Oh, you're a person. My bad. I thought with so many posts in such a short time that it was a bot.

    Edit: it's not a big deal. There's a setting to mark an account as a bot. So I was more looking for that.

    You'd think, but maybe not. One thing that China does is it's really strict on not letting people bring money out of the country. I have friends that have money back home that they can't get out of the country.

    The main reason for that is that when the gov't opens that up, billions start flowing out of the country really fast. So, if you leave, you're leaving your money behind.

    Love the guy tripping the bread dude, and so many people are already passed out drunk. Weaklings. I also like that the musicians are separated and above the group, b/c if they were at ground level, you know they'd be constantly getting hit by drunk shenanigans.

    Actually, I'm down in Latin America right now and a lot of deliveries are done by bike or scooter. It actually often takes about the same amount of time when in town, maybe a tiny bit longer depending, but because bikes are more versatile than cars - ie smaller, more maneuverable - they can sort of cut through the traffic much easier. In these urban areas, bikes are often faster to get around with, especially if you have infrastructure for it.

    But most deliveries down here are on scooter, not in a car.

    It's nice. There are different scents. You use your finger to rub just a tiny bit off and apply it. The smells are good. I'd say it's a bit harder to over-apply. And it's in a much smaller package, so easier to transport.

    I did it with Fulton and Roark's wax based cologne. It's great for traveling and they smell nice. I still have the sample pack since I don't wear cologne often.

    I see these things all over Latin America and stayed at a bunch of places that have them. It can get SUPER hot. The cool thing about them is that the pipes that heat the water are vacuum sealed and don't heat the water directly. I forget the exact mechanics of it, but it pretty much doesn't matter what the temperature is. It can take that solar energy and add it to water.

    This is probably the wrong place for this, but is there any intention to have something like super communities, where the same community exists on multiple instances but is treated like just one? Ie, if you sub to asklemmy on world, you see content from whatever other servers have asklemmy.

    Device Recommendation - Anker Power Cube
    www.anker.com

    I wanted to share this useful gadget. It's a power cube with 3 ac slots + 2 USBA + 1USBC with surge protection, etc. It's much more compact than what I was using before and since the cable is flexible, it effectively uses less space in the bag. I overbought and went with the 10' cable, but the 6' should be fine. You may be able to find it for less on amazon. ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0493%2F9834%2F9974%2Fproducts%2FA9134121-Anker_524_Power_Strip_3838x.png%3Fv%3D1672495149)
