On one hand, could be a “crash”. On the other hand, tons of websites break when they get a little extra traffic.

Side tangent, seems odd to me this is still a thing. Most company websites aren’t hosted on premises, so do these services like (i assume) AWS not scale for when there’s traffic? Squarespace has been advertising for years that it will scale up if there’s extra traffic. I’ve never tested it but still.

I had seen his face before, that was about it. He died, i looked up his Wikipedia, not sad about it.

Also… they’re not publically traded.

They do not have investors constantly forcing maximization of short term profits at the cost of literally everything else.

I fantasize about the idea of starting private companies for things currently dominated by public companies, with the sole idea of not being greedy and shitty.

UnderpantsWeevil raped me.

I kind of want to pick one up, but i can’t get a clear picture on if I should wait for a steam deck 2. From what I could find, they want to wait until there’s enough of an upgrade to be worth it. At one point that suggested around 2025, but more recent stuff makes it seem like they’re not even working on one, and other stuff hints that they are.

I learned about the em dash because of a meme here this week.

He tends to be condescending, toxic, and dishonest. I happened to watch this video the other day that covers a fair bit of stuff including the stop killing games petitions, if you’ve got 20 minutes.

Things like

• completely misrepresenting the stop killing games initiative.
• bitching for quite a while that “someone” pulled a mob during a world of warcraft raid causing a wipe, going back to see who it was to remove them, seeing it was himself and then justifying why it was now the right call.
• running away from his group in world of warcraft in a fight claiming he has no mana, while he’s wasting moves to drain the last of his mana and he has ways of getting around half of it back. This was during some kind of creater guild thing where if you die you lose your character. So abandoning his team to save himself and lying about it.
• banning/blocking everyone who criticizes or corrects him on these things
• DMCA’d and threatened legal action on an indie dev for a parody game that included him as a cockroach.

It’s not theirs to take over. There was barely any communication about this, they asked for admins a couple of times then posted about shutting down. They didn’t offer for someone else to host it.

Mine ended on the 5th, i didn’t renew it. It’s the first time since i got it that I didn’t but everything’s chinese rebranded shit there now and the shows are better if i torrent them.

It’s smart, Lots of people joined Lemm.ee and now 5500 active users need to find a new instance or stop using lemmy (some certainly will just leave)
