The usual fallacy of treating the comment section as if it were a unified single opinion.

Also, false dichotomy. There’s plenty of other options, some of which make a lot more sense.

How are they not getting sued for false advertising? In Europe at least.

What IS an impossibly low price, however? I honestly can’t tell what the price of something mass manufactured should be, between the exploitation of workers and the price gouging of capitalism. If a simple doodad costs $1, is that fair? How much is the material cost? How many thousands or millions of that doodad can a machine churn out per hour? The average consumer (including me) really has no basis for comparison nowadays.

I have hundreds of games on steam. Emulation is a service problem.

Yeah it’s weird how the article manages to never mention how much is currently allocated in the budget. You’d think that would be very relevant info.

Nice! What sort of use cases do you see for roles?

Dude, punctuation.

Dude, punctuation.

I see. Sad that it’s so toothless as currently implemented.

Doesn’t work. I tried that with paradox, but still keep seeing their games. I’m not sure what exactly it blocks, but it’s not games from search results.

Now calculate the size of the radiators a full scale data centre would need.

About 2000 sqm per MW, according to Google. Given an average data center load of 100 MW, about 200k sqm. Add that again for the solar panels you’d need, and you’re at a cool half a million sqm. Compare the ISS, at a measly 7000 sqm. The mind (and budget) boggles.

Given how common phishing attempts can be though, shutting down for every single one seems like overkill.

Can’t you adopt one? It’s not really related to this issue.

Calling them a wasteland is rather misleading, it’s mostly the war with Russia that’s causing the population outflow.

The donation model works for a very few groups, but for the vast majority of OSS and freehosted projects, donations are nowhere close to covering costs.

Even lemmy.world is viable because they only count server costs, and are volunteer run. If they had to cover staffing costs, it would be untenable.

Don’t have any sources, but I feel like I’ve seen that model before and it doesn’t seem to have worked so far for most people.

Lack of funds, essentially. For all we hate corporatised Internet services, we really suck at funding alternatives.

This is an ongoing problem, we need to figure out a way to make these services sustainable. The donation model obviously isn’t cutting it.
