It's a valuable service. How will the next generation of chatbots write jokes if there isn't someone explaining every joke.

We are implementing this with two new pricing regions: LATAM-USD (which includes Argentina) and MENA-USD (which includes Turkey)

The prices will be denominated in USD. But unique to the region. Unless the developer is lazy and doesn't set a price for the newly created regions.

Spot rate pricing for electricity is uncommon among households for exactly this reason. The price is most likely the result of energy market conditions, rather than nefarious actors in the market intentionally manipulating market conditions.

Usually there's a company that would be absorbing that risk of price fluctuations by charging slightly more than the baseline normal so that they can afford to charge households at a loss for the short periods where the price spikes as insanely as this.

Thank you for posting this explanation.

Per that rule of thumb, 27 is on the border of being creepy.

Kodi & Plex are just ways to manage, organize, and browse a multimedia collection.

If you're talking about accessing a specific server that has a large collection of multimedia on it, accessing it is fairly simple

Step 1: Have a friend who is hosting such a multimedia collection on their server Step 2: Ask that friend if you can have a login to access it.

To my knowledge there aren't really any people hosting such servers that are giving away access to people they don't personally know. Certainly not for free.

Depends on what price the developer chooses and how stable the exchange rate between USD & the local currency is. If the currency gets weaker and weaker compared to the dollar, then the real price that locals are paying will go up.

And, I'm pretty sure that local inflation rates are the primary driver of this change. So, yeah, games will likely get more expensive as inflation continues & developers don't constantly update the USD list price.

Definitely interesting to learn about this whole fediverse thing, and explore the limits of the various features.

I'm trying to wrap my head around when it does and doesn't matter what lemmy instance a post is made to vs what instance my account is associated with.
