I like how they fail to mention that legit streaming services just do that anyways as a matter of course.

I mean… if you’re getting disdain from your home instance… you picked the wrong home instance. Switch instances.

Not even a progress bar smh

Oooooh. It’s IN the computer.

Unity: unilaterally, retroactively, and silently amends prenup so that it technically allows sleeping with wife’s sister

Generally? Sure.

But this is programmerhumor.

I assumed it was obvious because honestly who would do that

Dude you’re not thinking about it the right way. We can define a new multi byte character set to help define mood (both speaker and listener), intention, irony, sarcasm, sincerity, bodily functions, and so on. This is a solvable problem.

There are mechanisms that exist in a LOT of services for handling TTL expiry and any relevant purging that needs to be done.

That said, a cursory look at the pict-rs project doesn’t appear to have any provision for TTL, so it’s probably going to have to be done as a cron job anyways - or at least triggered by the lemmy service when an image upload isn’t used in an instance-local lemmy post within some reasonable interval.

Note that I’m specifically including “in an an instance-local post” because I am assuming admins don’t want to provide free cloud image hosting to random internet people for arbitrary non-lemmy use.

Or, just tighten up the api such that uploaded pictures have a relatively short TTL unless they become attached to a post or otherwise linked somewhere.

A script is a fine stopgap measure, but we should try to treat the cause wherever possible, instead of simply addressing the symptom.

There are some instances in which waterfall is not only entirely appropriate, but also the best possible choice in terms of work organization.

There are some instances in which agile is the best fit. Likewise kanban.

Different domains have different optimal workflows.

I’ve seen a “temporary fix” serve as a core element of a service stack for a company with annual revenue in the hundreds of millions for like at least 5 years.

Hahahaha guys look he did the thing

Man, this is the type of interaction I used to love on Reddit, but haven’t seen in ages.

Damn, OP’s on point tonight

Are the templates in the room with us right now?
