Interesting that there's a comment posted an hour before yours that says the same exact thing, but it's upvoted, but yours is downvoted. Would be interesting to see conservative VS liberal leanings on Lemmy by time of day.

By the way, I completely agree with you. These stats have nothing to do with lgbtq community and everything to do with business looking out for its interests.

For example all 3 cellphone providers available in US are on the list. Most likely the only reason donations vary is because they are either based in or focusing their business in different states. What are you going to do? Switch to using ham radio?

Right. Unless you live in US and have relatives you regularly visit in a different city in the same state only 400km away.

I mean I still don't care about solar panels on my roof and I'm much happier with a moon roof on my PHEV. Nearly 80km of electric range means I'm driving an electric car 99% of the time and have convenience of 5 minute fill ups when I go further.

You do realize you can just mute whatever device you're watching this on?

For me it's the paid multiplayer that ruins it.

Your conclusion is based on only one side of the story. And this story is coming from an unnamed business that's using social media to shit on a provider that dropped them.

But even assuming that's true, name any other large provider that would behave differently. AWS will terminate your services instantly and their support is even worse than CF. Apple is the same and then will take 2 weeks to reply. Google is a ghosting champion.

Just to be clear I'm talking about B2B relationships. Not end user communication.

If the article was about a non profit or a legit small business with a web presence, I would agree with you. We're talking about massively risky business with spectacular profit margins.

I just don't believe that CF suddenly realized these guys are rolling in money and wanted their cut. The risk just wasn't worth it to CF confirmed by the fact that they did not negotiate at all and happily lost the casino as their client.

We're easily making enough to pay $120k/yr to CF, but they are not creating that much value for us and we're not introducing any risk to them so what we pay makes sense for both sides.

Gambling is not TOS violation. Exposing CFs IPs to be blocked would affect ALL customers so CF is naturally aggressively protecting those Running any business that puts CFs IPs at risk is the TOS violation here.

I wish I was the fly on the wall during that meeting, but I have very little doubts casino understood the problem very well and were trying to weasel their way out of paying for an enterprise service (to anyone) and having to use their own IPs which are trivial to block. And if you continue buying more and rotating it will likely quickly get you on the black list with anyone still selling them.

I may be simplifying and maybe casino's CTO and the entire tech team are a bunch of naive newborns, but I really fucking doubt it.

Well, the way he describes it does sound messed up, but if the only solution CF is willing to accept is for them to bring their own IPs and that is only available with an enterprise plan, what kind of conversation were they expecting? And like I said in another thread, enshitification at CF affected their customer service the most. We went from being able to to speak directly to devs, to people who actually understood the problem, to first tier support that didn't understand shit to 0 tier support that barely understands English.

CF doesn't give a fuck about 80tb of traffic. These guys were in severe TOS violation that could affect all CF customers if CF IPs got blocked. Given 48 hours to bring their own IPs and switch to (expensive AF anywhere) enterprise account and finally shut down TWO WEEKS later after trying to weasel their way out of this instead of accepting they need to pay to play this stupid game.

We've been CF customers forever and enshitification is definitely affecting all of their services and mostly customer support, but in this instance I'm 100% on the side of CF.

I sure hope it is a laptop with ARM. RISC-V would give me a hard on I'd have to call my doctor about, but new Snapdragon X Elite would be awesome as well.

I know, but I don't care about GUI or gaming. I just need transcoding.

I guess they did a poll and most people want kde on these to replace their desktops so my use case is low priority. That's why I wish Lina and her team had more resources.

I love it on my M2 Mac mini. Useless with macos because it needs more than 8gb of ram just to start without loading anything but Asahi turns it into a fantastic ARM server. I just wish GPU team had more resources to finish the driver. M2 is absolute shit at transcoding on CPU. I mean it's also terrible on GPU, but I can't complain considering how little power it consumes.

I'd still expect a lot more from a toy at $200. That's cheap drone money or a decent RC car.

I am surprised there isn't an automatic mechanism to handle this especially if it is such a frequent issue.

btrfs dynamically allocates inodes.

Are you sure that's the case with btrfs? I know ext has that feature. My understanding is btrfs just has a global reserve that can be used for any data in an low space situation.

Most non-bots are from United States and know nothing about eastern narrative other than what russian and Chinese bots are feeding them.

Pretty sure he's talking about mfa that just asks for confirmation whether that's you logging in on the phone. No typing required.

To be fair, even the most progressive state like California (and I imagine most other states) is exactly the same. You don't have to drive far outside of Los Angeles to start seeing Trump signs.
