Okay, I hope it was a false positive. If that is the case, would I be okay re-uploading the image in question? And if it happens again and I have not received any notification, either in my messages or e-mail, about why its being removed, then I will likely need an admin here to look into it for me.

When something like this happens and its not a false positive and there is any actual reason for it, I would prefer to know why to avoid any legal issues.

I'm using LibreWolf here and I'm not having this issue on my end.

 

I recently just noticed that one of my posts, the one to a petition on Care2, had its display picture from the petition itself get deleted as it was coming up as 404. I have changed it to a direct link to the image on Dingo for now while I'm wondering why I wasn't even notified of the reason why it was removed.

Edit: Now it looks like it is 404 here as well.

Well, I wasn't sure when I have received a link to this petition, but I ended up posting it here since it appears to have to do with koalas.

 

In Australia, the cherished experience of cuddling a koala is causing growing concerns over animal welfare and stress. One of the world's oldest koala sanctuaries in Queensland has already ceased this practice, shifting to observation-focused experiences that respect the natural behavior of these gentle creatures. With koalas now classified as endangered, it is crucial that we protect every individual from unnecessary stress and disturbance.

Sign this petition to urge the Queensland government to ban koala cuddling and prioritize conservation and educational encounters!

Koalas are delicate animals that require up to 20 hours of sleep per day and can experience significant stress when handled by humans. This stress can lead to health issues and a decrease in their overall wellbeing. Observations indicate that koalas often attempt to escape cuddling events, demonstrating their discomfort.

While it might be sad to miss a photo opportunity, this small sacrifice of giving up koala cuddling will give us a chance to respect and preserve these magnificent creatures for future generations.

The Queensland government could create positive change while still allowing us all to enjoy koalas. They could do this by implementing a phased ban on koala cuddling, increasing support for wildlife educational programs, and ensuring all wildlife interactions are respectful and based on the best principles of animal welfare.

Sign now to demand that the Queensland government end koala cuddling and invest in wildlife protection and ethical tourism practices.

For some reason, this got me imagining an ad causing an unnecessary detour the wrong way on a one way road and cause a head-on collision. which is going to get them hit with a class action lawsuit that could send their line graph all the way down into the ground.

Well, for one thing, I would want to find out if there is a way to mount a remote drive service to a drive letter on a Windows machine like Google Drive so that I can have it as a backup option that would keep my stuff privacy, and not scraped by some AI LLM.

You are lucky the cop didn't get out of their car, come to your driver's side window, and point a gun at you yelling, "GET OUT OF THE F***ING CAR NOW! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR RECKLESS VEHICLE REVERSING AND DAMAGE TO POLICE PROPERTY!", while preparing the open the door or smash the window in to pull you out by force and drag you down to the ground to arrest you.

I just hope that the next new study doesn't end up being "New Study: At Least 15% of All Lemmy Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion", otherwise I would be wondering WTF is going on, is Lemmy on the way of being enshittified by Corporate Morons?

Some of those errors were about the drive being full.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Sorry for not being more specific about what I need, I will explain it here.

With Google Drive, it gets assigned to a drive letter on my computer which is H: here and I'm not sure if any other Drive alternatives do that or not.

Right now, I currently pay $3 USD a month for 300 GBs of Google Drive space and they appear to go up with 5TBs for $25 USD a month and $10TBs for $50 USD a month.

I'm not interested in One Drive as that is Microsoft's Shit.

Apparently, doing a sync with it just on my documents and photos, it ended up filling up the Proton Drive and giving hundreds of errors on one of my Windows 10 computers.

I just signed up for that just to check it out and compare it, and it looks like upgrading the storage on it is more expensive than Google Drive.

 

I have thought about this and decided to post here since it was suggested that it could go here.

Anyway, I'm currently feeling like I need to speak to someone and might be able to help. I haven't been doing much with the koala community I create here since I have been feeling a bit down.

Even though I'm thinking about it, I'm still wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrisome things.

And I’m also currently planning on posting links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas and/or their habit posted to it, which the post titles will be marked in []s if they are for a petition, article, or something else. If anyone has any ideas they want to talk to me, feel free to let me know.

The one thing right now that is slowing me down is the amount of e-mails I'm currently getting, which is now over two hundred e-mails a day. This is mainly due to the amount of non-profit organizations that are sending me emails about surveys, petitions, donation requests, and actions to take among other things.

That has me now wondering if I need to create a list of them here so you can help me figure out which ones I may have to filter into the trash.

 

At this time, I have been feeling a bit down and is why I haven't being doing much with the koala community I had created here. But now I'm thinking about it again and had been wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrying things. I'm already planning on having links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas posted to it. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know.

I'm not sure if there are certain images on here causing this popup to appear or what, and I wonder if someone can help me figure this out. I wonder if its something that will need to be blocked or an instance that needs to be de-federated until the admin of it agrees to remove the Malware that is causing it to happen. Here is a screenshot I managed to take of the popup.

 

II have thought about this off an on for a while, and decided I will talk more about it here since I haven't been able to find a more welcome place for someone who is considered spiritual and on the autistic spectrum. I'm not even sure what the right place is though as there are times I tend to feel lost in more ways than one and perhaps cut off when I get mistaken for an AI bot in a few places.

My story starts where I was born into a family with a Mormon Church ancestry, even though I wasn't actually connected to the Christian Church. I'm not going to go into religion here since I don't want this to turn into some religious argument. Anyway, when I was six or seven years old living in a house further away from my grandma's house, it seemed apparent that I was more connected to nature where I would watch water running along the ground in little rivers.

After my family had moved back closer to my grandma, I found myself going out into the woods behind her backyard almost every time I was visiting her and going to the stream back there to look at it. I remember during the time it seemed magical and mystical while I was exploring on the frozen marsh there in late fall and was looking at the twilight in the sky at sunset realizing I needed to head back to the house.

During one of the times I was out in those woods as a kid, I had encountered something that looked human that said "hey there' and I ran all the way back to the house scared not knowing what it is. Sometime after that, there was upheaval going on between my parents which may have been due to the time the chimney was blocked and the house was smoking up, I ended up being brought to my grandma's house with my siblings to spend the night. I have memories of wearing footed pajamas with the vinyl feet, but had developed holes in the feet for some reason. It was night and I could sense there is something out there.

When I was home again and it was sometime around late spring or summer, I had become interested in the Care Bears and while I was playing with brick blocks, wooden blocks, and large train tracks that were plastic from a riding train in the basement playroom, I was writing letters to Tender Heart Bear and leaving them in the kitchen window where they were being answered. I think it may have been because I was looking for a friend since I was friends with the neighbor girl Carrie before, but then she stopped being friends of me and my siblings weren't being kind to me either.

At some point, I was allowed to get this three foot tall Tender Heart Bear plush from Toys-r-Us after getting good grades in school, and it became my only friend. Sometime later, there was upheaval going on between my parents again and we ended up being forced to leave there and go on a cross country trip to Washington State. I couldn't bring much of anything with me and so I lost a number of things including my three foot Tenderheart Bears.

While I was in the van traveling by woodlands, I had this mystical sensation of something out there calling me to come back out into the woods for some reason and couldn't do anything while in a van. On top of that, I remember seeing the darkening sky and sensed some kind of mystical connection with the western sky for some reason as well, and this might be related to the feeling of being disconnected from nature and lost.

Years later, when I was back on the east coast and was living in a town house in northwest New Jersey after moving a couple more times, I recovered my three foot Tenderheart Bear and I also had a dream about seeing a white mouse who was named Heather in the backyard who was sad. She told me her husband was killed by a croaker while searching for one of the two greatest treasures in the world, and she was pointing to a steep grassy hill that appeared in the distance from the house as she continued saying one of the two greatest treasures lies just over that hill.

This may been related to where I used to live in Pennsylvania where there is a tree covered hill in a similar location from the front of the house, and over it is where my grandma's house is located. During that time, my mother had met someone who was having me forced to be going to a Christian Church and I really didn't seem at all comfortable with it, but thankfully I was no longer going there after she broke up with him. Sometime after that when I was beginning to look at Pagan and Druid stuff out of interest, I was visiting my grandma's house again thanks to my sister.

During a visit out there again, I was sensing this presence there and wasn't sure what it was even though it led to me having dreams about a fox. I ended up looking for help and was soon hooked up with a seer calling herself Yotewah and Coyote's Green Eyed Daughter, She also went by the name of Kikyo and I told her about the presence I felt at my grandma's house while showing her a sketch I did of a fox wearing blue clothing I had seen and remember from one of my dreams, and she astral traveled afterward to find that it is a fox boy called Kane.

A while after that and feeling like he is a friend I lost years ago at my grandma's house, I ended up with my getting someone to make me a custom Kane the Fox plush so I have something physical I can cuddle up to. Sometime after that, I had a dream about a girl outside the first townhouse I was moved to in Northwest New Jersey, and brought that up with the seer who found it was a fae girl named Lindsey who is an elf girl. She saw she was being chased by something dark and evil and took care of whatever it was. That later ended up with me having a custom plush I made of her using her description that I remembered,

When I started having a couple dreams about darkness out in the woods behind my grandma's house that may be related to what I saw out there when I was a kid, I told the seer about them and she had astral traveled there to cleanse the woods and my grandma's house. She told me there was some sort of guardian that she cleaned as they were being harmed by something that had the form of the Sprite from the Secret of Mana game.

After I had been moved out into a rural area with a yard that had some trees, I remember having a dream being in the yard there and could feel this pulling sensation. So I had contacted the seer about there and she found out there is a vortex and guardian there nearby. Then while I was back at my grandma's house and talking to her about Kane the Fox, she assumed it represented me due to having the Todd as one of my surnames. After I told her about the seer I had been talking to and showing her all the records that I kept, she had wanted to know her credentials even though she had not asked for money or anything in return. I later did that and ended up learning the seer was taught by the Elder of Serpentstone, it let to a little bit of an argument with her and I continued talking to the seer.

Not long after that, I had a dream about something pretending to be Kane that had a crescent moon on its cheek and I was uncomfortable. I also remember seeing an eclipse in the sky in the dream. After I had another dream where I could hear Kane calling for help, I contacted the seer and she looked into it and found that it was a Kane Pretender who trapped Kane away from me. She not only found and brought him back to me, but sealed the Kane Pretender away in an ice sphere of love and placed it in an ice glacier somewhere guarded by a dragon.

After that ordeal, I started having dreams again with Kane in them and was better. I continued having the dreams about him off and on as well as a few about Lindsey, and soon I had moved one last time into a house with a larger piece of property that included woods out back. Just after the move, I was feeling rather uncomfortable and had a couple dreams about fairies. I told the seer about this and after investigating, it turned out that I have fairies that are not only fond of me, but had been told the name of their queen. I continued having dreams about Kane and my grandma's house off an on and at some point, I have lost contact with the seer.

Some more years have passed and now I have been feeling worried and a little depressed (lately around the winter solstice when the days are short and no greenery to be seen outside other than bamboo, plus too cold to go outside). It may be due to the state of the world and things being forgotten and taken away leading to the feeling of them being lost, and the fact that recently I have been seeing trees dying off. It could also be the fear that I'm having on and off about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the fear of an artificial super intelligence, and brain computer interfaces and stuff that are a threat to the innermost privacy of the mind, and there being too much change happening and autistic people cannot adapt to change well.

This could very well be because of my strong connection with the woodlands and there being decline of woodlands that is upsetting to me like I can feel the pain of what is happening to nature and to the fae folk. At this time, it seems I'm feeling so lost and so cut off since I haven't picked up much friends. There were also were attempts to get me back into the christian church and be cut off my attachments with the woods and the spiritual friends I have. When I first brought this up in a Pagan subreddit on Reddit, someone alerted Reddit Help Resources which I don't think if that was right as I wasn't even talking about committing suicide as its not quite that bad, and I'm not thinking that for that matter.

Right now, I have been thinking positively on what thinks can be talked about or done, and it feels like we need to bring back something like a Koala Kafe in the comforting woods to talk about stuff like this. I also keep thinking about the Last Mimzy movie where it feels like Gaia, the soul of our world, has become sick and people are becoming isolated and warlike (see what is happening to Ukraine and Israel), and our world is frightened and is dying. And has feeling like looking for a great scientist to try many times and is willing to try once more, this is the Last Lindsey (based from the elf girl with a strong affinity for the forests since she is of the forest). Her task feels like it would be teaching of how precious the woodlands are and saving them, as well as finding a soul not contaminated by the technological pollutants that fill our bodies and minds like our precious quality of humanity has been turned off, and it is said the soul's tears would contain an instruction for an awakening that would spread like wildflowers.

Anyway, sometimes I feel like we could use something like a Koala Kafe in a peaceful woodland place that is like being among the comforting koalas, even though they are listed as endangered in Australia and need our help. I also have lots of created characters and ideas and had been trying to work on a few stories, but I feel bringing them online in the wrong place will lead them being scraped by AI Bots and be used against me to make things worse. I'm just afraid whatever I create and write to give to be helpful would also end up be given to the elite few thanks to their AI bots. I feel that I currently need someone to talk to about this and figure out what the solution to this is.

 

I just found that I'm getting the infinite spinning issue when commenting on a post in [email protected] and not sure what the issue is as it is the same on two different computers.

 

Hi, I have recalled that I had been invited to post here sometime ago while I had some other issue going on, which I think it involved Reddit. Right now, I'm feeling okay, but perhaps feeling a little worried, and I'm wondering if I could talk about it here even though I'm on the spectrum as I had been diagnosed in the past with having Asperger's Syndrome. I must let you know that it may run long as it will probably also include experiences I had in the past since when I used to be a child.

 

Lately, I have been getting the following popup when I share various links to democratic petitions and take actions on Tribel, and it hasn't happened to me before.

So far, it has happened with trying to post the following:

  • A link to a petition to pass Automatic Voter Registration
  • A link to telling Congress to support Healthy School Meals for all
  • A link to a petition to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from Jack Smith's classified documents case against Trump
  • A link to a petition to demand the Supreme Court denies Trump’s immunity claim
  • A donation link to Stopping Third-Party Candidates Like RFK Jr. From Handing Trump Victory
  • A link to standing with Bernie Sanders in his fight to save Social Security
  • A link to telling Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus
  • A link to a petition to demand felony charges against Cody Roberts for Animal Cruelty
  • A link to a petition to stand with President Biden and SAVE Medicare from Mike Johnson’s GOP House Majority
  • A link to Protect Pets And Wildlife From Agonizing Death in Heavy-Duty Rat Traps
  • A link to Urge Congress to pass Community Schoolyards® legislation
  • A link to telling your U.S. House representative to support the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act
  • A link to telling Chief Justice John Roberts that Donald Trump is NOT above the law and should be PROSECUTED
  • A link for signing a letter for #TaxDay2024 to support policies that make the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
  • A link to a petition to FIRE Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
  • A link to a petition to give Social Security seniors a stimulus payment.
  • A donations link to stopping voter suppression.
  • A link to a petition for Congress to SAVE the US Postal Service from bankruptcy.
  • A link to a petition to tell Congress to close the Medicaid gap.
  • A link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.
  • A link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.
  • A link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.
  • A donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.
  • A link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.
  • A Change.org petition link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA
  • A Change.org petition link to Let’s get Thabo the wild monkey to safety!
  • And now a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality

These links so far are from the following organizations.

  • Change.org
  • Greater Good
  • Moms Rising
  • MoveOn Political Action
  • National Democratic Training Committee
  • Progressive Turnout Project
  • Public Interest Research Group
  • Retired Americans PAC
  • Stop Republicans
  • Trust for Public Land
  • Vote.org

I have tried contacting support over there numerous times already to find out what is happening, but I haven't gotten any response from them at all about it. The only answer I had gotten so far over there is from a user stating they have gotten it on occasion when I try to post a new post and think the site might have been hacked by Conservatives, or the site owner Omar may have gotten bought out by Conservatives for this to begin happening against Democratic links to help Democrats.

Right now, I'm not sure where I could be allowed to begin posting the links that are being blocked by the popup on Tribel, since I thought and it seemed like that site was left leaning. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know here.

Edit: Removed all other edit notes again and added that it is now also happening with a link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Let’s get Thabo to safety!

Edit: Added its also happening again with a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality.
