Just used it myself. Still very much working.

Y'know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.

Downvoted for downvoting pineapple 😡

Goddammit Loch Ness Monster!

Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.

That's not just a hot take, that's straight up nuclear.

That's such a wholesome way to look at it. 😊

I just purchased a new phone and I'm kicking myself now. I've wanted to support Fairphone for a while, but I just can't justify another phone purchase.

It just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they're doing make braindead decisions sometimes.

I was a little confused since I'm from America and am used to all utilities being privately owned, so I did some research. It does look like Japan's government owns a majority stake in the company, specifically because of this disaster. The private stakeholders are still there but own minority stakes. So yeah, the government of Japan dropped the ball here. It's strange that I read the linked article and they never mentioned the government once.

Yeah, sucks to have two in a row. I think the likelihood is a little low that I "won" the lottery twice. But statistics are weird. Either way, replaced it with a Fold 4 and love the new device.

I don't think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.

Have a good day, and be well.

Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It's not the veteran's fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.

Edit: there's no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you've got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.

It looks great!

Ah, that's fair. Best of luck either way. This is the tough part of admin work. FWIW, the stability we've had thus far has been pretty impressive!

Lemmings

Sweet! I guess I overlooked that item. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hey, someone's gotta ask for all the other pervs out there. 😂

Already seeing high latency for our instance. Guessing everyone realized the impending doom and created accounts on one of the easier instances to join. Welcome, fellow lemmings!

Everyone on the internet is a dog unless proven otherwise.

I mean...woof.

Unless one of your subscribed communities is a victim of this spam. That's kinda rough.

So is there a Las Vegas on Mars?

I'm not familiar with what the server architecture looks like, but is there a possibility of using a load balancer in front of the instance's server and swapping a "beta" server into the load balancer when you need to do testing? You could basically migrate your traffic with zero downtime, assuming Lemmy's architecture allows for it.

Electric Boogaloo?

All of the animations felt extremely stiff. This game also looks to be pretty far in development, so I'm guessing nothing will change. I'd love an Avatar game, but this one looks like a cash grab to the extreme.

Is it cheating to say my favorite is the Megaton quest line?

Dude, I'd ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I'm not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.

I'm a sysadmin. No one really knows what people in my profession do, so they just assume it's all servers and computers. I'm all about the automation tools, though. With the right tools and credentials, you can install apps, create accounts, provision a new VM, parse through your emails, brew a cup of coffee, and let your wife know you'll be home early so she can get rid of her boy toy before you get home...all with a single click.

AROOO I LOVE MY ELECTRIC HOG

Spider-Man. Jesus, this game is amazing. I'm trying to 100% the whole game, so far I'm at 82% on the main story, 100% on The Heist (wanted that costume), and 0% on the rest of the DLC.

This is legitimately one of my fave movies of all time

That links to Reddit.

I'm rocking a Pixel 6 and I'm stuck on 0.33. It's possible the metadata is messed up for the latest update or something.

Noun Town Language Learning looks like a novel way to learn a second language. I'll have to give it a try.

That looks delicious!

Wow, that's the pettiest thing on their part. Sounds like they need to grow up.

I'm not a lawyer either, but a quick search shows that state law is the thing this could be breaking. It's not criminally punishable to possess it, but acquiring or distributing it via the internet is potentially illegal. Here's a page from a Massachusetts lawyer discussing the legality. https://anthonyricciolaw.com/is-lolicon-legal-in-the-us/#:~:text=Under federal law%2C a simple,state laws regarding child pornography.

Edit: apparently that's only part of the requirements for illegality. The other part is sexuality or not having "value" which is subjective. Either way, it's a dice roll on criminal acts.

As I've pointed out in a few spots on this post: regardless of your moral stance, loli is considered the same as child porn by many government agencies. You may not be "harming" anyone, but you're harming the people that host and view that content in a criminal sense.

Loli stuff is illegal though, at least in the United States. Viewing even accidentally can be considered a crime. The OP has a valid point.
