  • I was thinking it was sync, but I didn’t want to call them out if I was wrong…
    I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy’s yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync’s attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.

    That’s the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
    I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can’t remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.


  • Even if we completely ignore the overhead involved in buying and selling property, moving is expensive, stressful and completely upends your life. Expecting new parents to move every time they need more room, or even worse, forcing grieving parents to move because no longer “need” the space is ridiculous. If we aren’t complete monsters about people only having exactly the amount of space that they need at any given moment means that there will have to be a number of people with surplus space at any given moment. And at any given moment there will also be a number of people who need a place to stay, but may not plan on staying in that one place long enough to make it worth “buying” somewhere to live. So, I don’t see how you can stop people from letting others who need a place to live from living with them. So landlords have always existed and always will.
    On the same note there’s no way to stop 2 people with similar goals from helping each other, so companies will also exist whether you want them to or not.


  • You are correct, our privileges and opportunities have to be paid for. Things like governments, taxes, companies, and landlords have to exist. Even insurance is a great thing. The problem right now is how all of that is currently implemented in the US.
    People do fear for their lives. Get sick and your entire family can end up homeless. Cops are murdering innocent people left and right. People are working multiple jobs and still starving. They are living out of their cars, so they do not have easy access to clean water, baths, clean clothes, ECT. All while, the very government we are all paying to protect us has been taken over by people looking to use it against us.
