Paxlovid kept me alive when I had COVID. This makes me really upset. People will actually die without this.

Okay, I don't agree here. These Lemmy servers are hosted largely by people, not organizations or LLCs, and individuals being legally liable is a problem.

This isn't twenty years ago where the Internet was a wild West and most things actually ended up flying, the modern legal reality is so complicated and if you want it differently, you host a Lemmy instance and federate with as much illegal activity as you want.

Lemmy.world is aiming to be the mainstream and pallet able Lemmy instance for the masses, let it be that, it's their choice

A truly lost generation

I actually adore the idea of a subre...err, community where you take AI art and caption it like you're the camera person. It would be a little bit like accidental renaissance

Populated niche communities. The Reddit Exodus created a big blip that now, a month later, well it seems to have died down.

A few thousand people gave Lemmy a shot, and after lemmy.world had issues with the traffic, and went down a lot this past thirty days, I think people just stopped trying.

This is the best Reddit alternative out there and still it's got such poor adoption because it's so different under the hood.

I myself feel I'm missing out on so much content here as was available on Reddit, but I'm trying to actually make a difference by not going back.

Awww, reading this makes me feel sad, but I also suspect this was a wrong number and they played this up.

What the Hell did it mean in the first place?

Let me be real. I never noticed outages stopping. It feels like it's daily, I'm used to it, but I think it happens so often that lemmy.world has lost its growth opportunity, and we alienated the normies. I'm still going to stay on Lemmy, and I believe you're doing the best you can, but we lost for the time being, the migration to Lemmy from Reddit is stunted.

PEGI 81

I want an extremely low power laptop for programming. Slow processor, e-ink screen with a low refresh rate. I want 24 hours battery life with a solar charger to sit outside and program.

I mean, you're always probably going to a little bit, no big deal, but they're so close together that it just happens

The future is stupid

Someone please, please back up the old Zero Punctuation videos now, before something happens.

Battle passes and most microtransactions in games. Day one patches, and GaaS games, always online games and expiring media licenses. VAC bans on Steam.

Whip cracker is actually probably false etymology, like a retcon of the origin that is popular, but actually not true.

Getting F-d in the A.

No, they mean that Autism shouldn't be cured, which is a common Gen Z take because they see all nuerodivergence as positive and innately of value.

That's exactly what I suspect happened here too.

That's nuts, I've been blown away by the Switch library and probably own over 500 titles.

I'm actually, honestly enjoying this more. Yes, pretty much every niche community I joined has died now, and that's unfortunate, but it's quite certainly alive anyway.

Reminds me a bit of earlier Digg, and the culture here varies a lot but I see a wide range of political opinion and cultural frames of reference compared to what Reddit was, which was a near monoculture.

I prefer this not being guided by a single company.
