The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ok yea, but it's 6MB, it's inconsequential with today's storage densities and a modern system can handle it with ease

Not when you have 1000s of files. It adds up.

A month ago i had a customer rating about not being able to upload the new Header image ( 250 MB ), while the error message clearly states: max 5 MB file size allowed. I didn't even know where to start.

I had a student send me the screenshot of a pdf for his homework submission. So, yeah. I guess that's how it ends.
