i know most of ao3's budget goes to server costs. they get by with volunteer labor and donations, but they mostly host text. i genuinely have no idea what a sustainable model would look like for the fediverse, that doesn't just treat volunteers like disposable rags we toss when they get inevitable burnout.
I kind of figured it was something like subscriber and data loss, but my immediate mental image when someone says that bit is like, way more dramatic than that because of its regular use in action movies.
could just be a sign i've watched too many movies, though.
I'm all for promoting alternatives but as a mild critique i'll say not knowing you or what you dislike about lemmy specifically, the "no matter the cost" part of the bio reads kinda creepy.
I like that they put some guides up ahead of their announcement. At some point I followed polygon on here, and I remember the guides being some of the most frequent updates.
With most games, I don't mind just watching a playthrough, but this is one I'd actually want to play. Maybe in a few more years the emulator will have fewer bugs or I'll get a cheap 360 (or a new computer ). I'd forgotten how disappointed I was back then I couldn't play it on pc!
I don't particularly care about the downvoting, but I do prefer bidirectional blocking when possible. Obviously a public profile is still visible, but if someone blocked had to make a new account to interact with you, that'd be nice.
That's just a preference. Whatever the consensus is, I'll be fine with it. The most important thing is that it's clear and known how it works. Someone with a stalker should quickly be able to get how things work to decide if they want to be on here.
I'm not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.
This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I'd see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it's relevant to my uncle's illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there's no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I'll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.
I have a relative with the same cancer so it's going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he's in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.
I thought they were more interesting than average, even when I disagreed with a take. The kind of site there should be a ton of, with varying takes for people to despise to a baffling degree. Sad to see it gone, or "gone" and turned intp a slop factory with known terrible working conditions for the people left.
Regardless of feelings about the people themselves, it's awful that they fired the union members probably deliberately at this point in the sale so they wouldn't have to go along with their contracts.
