What is this referencing in this particular case?
As far as I understand, lemmy.world is banning/defederating piracy communities. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
I thought it's some people defending LTT/LMG after their latest stunt (possibly single-handedly killing a startup)
Linked post is also locked for some reason
Holy fuck, single-handedly killing a startup is way to exaggerated. I really don't wanna defend LMG/Linus here, their mistakes are horrendous and Linus' response was laughably bad. But Billet Labs are fine, they probably got more good advertising out of it than anything else.
They themselves said "What's happened recently is blip, we will not be stopped." on a r/LinusTechTips post
Anyone remembers the Scrapyard Wars series by LTT? about 5-10 years ago. That was really great content.
The good advertising only happened after everything went down, before that they were discarded/dismissed by the largest tech review channel on the internet.
Nothing about that entire situation is good advertising.
Is your link meant to direct me to a foot fetish image? Or is it some federation shenanigans?
they linked to post 886994 on startrek.website however the client you're using loaded up post 886994 on lemmy.blahaj.zone
when resolved correctly, OP's post ends up being post 1845218 on lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Thanks for the explanation. I have heard of this phenomenon but never personally encountered it myself.
posts having different IDs per instance did trip me up as well but i found out this is a surprisingly common practice on nearly all fedi software
What app are you using?
Connect
Yup - I copied the link from the "rainbow point-to-point pentagon", posts should be shared on fedi with that (that's the original instance's post).
Appreciate the H2G2 reference ๐
I've never seen it shortened that way before. Is that common?
This was what this post was referencing. Thanks for answering this question for me! I haven't watched LTT/LMG in over 5-6 years, so I have no idea what's going on with that.
I too would like to know

LOL, LIMEWIRE
That pic can get some mileage (if updated to billions for some of them) with Tesla, Disney, Nintendo, CDPR, and many more.
You can even hear the heavy breathing
