Yeah I think a lot of it is private equity funds buying property to flip, develop, or rent. They have so much money it's ridiculous

Someone must have complained about hot water being hot

It does seem excessive but may just be for the soft re-opening. Until they know that the place won't become overrun with problems again.

Reddit didn't have self hosted images or video for years. I agree it would be ideal, though. The good news is you can do your part to improve lemmy all around!

I have been stuck in the DM role in the past few campaigns I've played, so I guess I enjoy that role 😅

I've not had much luck with AI artwork in any of my campaigns. Maybe it's because I'm using DALL-E and not some of the others. I am using ChatGPT (3.5 and 4) to generate content for my campaigns, though. When someone asks for a name of an NPC, I ask it for a name, description, and two sentence personality. It does great at on the spot NPC generation. I've also used it to write up a bounty notice - I just gave it the group offering the bounty's name, the "main" baddie of the group being hunted, and their general location. Boom - instant side quest.

I know a lot of people that love Instant Pots. I had one and used it rarely. My wife hated it. We gave it away and got an air fryer, also by the Instant Pot brand (the Vortex or something). I use that thing all the time.

That said I'm not too surprised at this. Many people I've talked to express no interest in one or had the same experience I did.

They really should have just found out what the 3rd party apps -COULD PAY-. If it covered the cost of their usage and there was some profit on the top, it would at least bring in some money. Based on what I read by the Apollo dev, there was back and forth communication about pricing for a while until he broke the news.

It astounds me that they chose to cut them off entirely by offering impossible pricing. Isn't some money better than no money?

Sometimes I hide inside of our network/server room at work where the A/C is running.

While I think this is a great idea and I will be doing this too, the average user probably won't. I hope instances like this can survive on donations and good will.

I haven't seen one yet. Disk usage this morning on lemmy.world was reported at about 4GB over 11 days (probably low usage). The 100GB drive would probably fill up in 275 days or so if usage did not increment. If it's not redundant and dies, all that content is lost.

So storage will be a huge issue for lemmy unless I'm missing something.

Absolutely. Most of my 20s and 30s I've been on reddit. It was game changing for the early web. I decided today that I'm going to delete all my previous comments, posts, and accounts. It's time to move on.
