Why are the ARR a bad idea for a VPS?

Yeah storage suck on mine but you can get a seed box for storage and run the apps in the VPS. But that’s another subscription.

Have you considered a VPS?

I have one that is pretty basic but works very well for about $4US a month. Mine runs Ubuntu 22.

Damn. I thought it was me, but scrolling through Everything & Top Day is just filled with rage bait and doom news. I rarely find something uplifting. And I usually find myself more anxious after reading through them.

I really want Lemmy to thrive, that’s why I am here, but I used to be able to filter all that shit in reddit and still have a bunch of funny dumb simple happy posts. If I do that here I get no posts back…

I took the opposite of your advice and now I am waking up at 530am. Can we please change the direction of the rotation of the earth?

As a consumer we can use our choices where we spend to lead companies one way or the other. Spreading the word to not buy something is “doing something about it”. How effective it may be here in Lemmy, probably not very much, but it’s something.

Pray I do not alter it further…

The issue is that there is only 1 industry. And the end goal of ALL developers and companies is making money. The more the better. When other pools start seeing that pissong in the pool leaves them more money, than they ALL will start designing their games around this. It is this design choice that will infect pretty much all other games. The precedent it sets affects the whole industry.

And like you said before, the only way this is not an issue is if it does not generate additional money for them so that no other pools try to imitate. And this will only happen if nobody buys them. And this post is trying to dissuade those buyers so that this does not become rampart and then all games have it.

Extra credit for correctly using affect!!!

I think the analogy is that it sets a precedent. Now the other companies see how you can pee in the pool and folks are either cool with it (buy) or are on the other end (not buy but meh). Now the pool standard is piss filled pool and we will never have a chance to get into a clean pool anymore.

If you want to take a swim you have to do it in a pissed soaked pool because we never complained or did anything about it.

You have my ax!

Have you tried acquiring the file from ‘elsewhere’ (see megathread)?

I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.

I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.

Plus he dropped me off where he wanted!

I like this one… Because I understood it!!! Plus it’s funny.

Demon Souls. Gadamn it’s good…

My dude! Thanks for sharing all of these. I don’t have a particular need and am able to buy myself games so I will leave for others who may not be as lucky as I am. But thanks for doing this!

Happy holidays!!!

That scene actually looks very real.

Here is a video on how they made it

Mate. Trusting a company not to shaft you when you have no alternatives is never a good idea. It is actually really bad.

Companies do not act towards the benefit of the customer. It is always towards a better bottom line, and those decisions many times do not have your best interest at heart. If you have no choices, the companies have no incentive to make your experience any better. (see Internet Explorer). Competition is always a good thing. It forces companies to be better. The key word there is forces because they will not do it on their own.

This is a discussion forum. Sometimes an obvious question sparks conversation well beyond the original topic. But someone needs to ask the question first. You don’t have to be rude. Just scroll right past.
