Can't let that santorum trickle down.

Amen, a relationship is based on trust and communication. If you have doubts and cannot clearly communicate your worries and figure this out together, then this relationship doesn't really stand a chance.

Do you have an example of an app that's not installing? Which Android OS version are you at?

I'm going to hold off purchasing gaming hardware for as long as possible, the market is simply ridiculous right now.

Fuck right off. I served as a medic, and some of my friends who did tours came back with all sorts of trauma from the patients they tried to help. They did what they could to make the world a better place despite the atrocities of war.

% of how genuine they are with me, easy to figure out who's worth the time and who isn't.

Could be a problem in a relationship tho. I take it back, just the cumulative numbers of fart in a lifetime.

I agree that no one should fear for their life because of their job, but maaaaybe if you did your job to serve the people instead of the oligarchs you wouldn't need to be protected from it.

It's a bit sad, because archive.org is unable to capture some websites that archive.is is able to.

So you either get an imperfect host that is able to capture it (with a dubious integrity record), or you have a void where some stuff cannot be archived and you end up with a void.

Who could have seen that coming.

Removing .NET wouldn't be a good idea tho.

And Microsoft doesn't care much for gamers on desktops, they'll mostly cater to the Xbox players that runs a basically slimmed down and locked version of Windows.

Seems like the servers are very slow to respond to most requests, investigating the cause, stay tuned.

EDIT: Systems are back to normal now.

Since we depend on them to have this platform, it seems fair to spread their request for donations. To be clear, this is to finance the developers who build this software, and has nothing to do with our specific instance operational costs.

From the Lemmy developers

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and I work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Unfortunately the amount of donations has decreased to only 2000€ per month. This leaves only 1000€ per developer, which is not enough to pay my bills. With the current level of donations I will be forced to find another job, and drastically reduce my contributions to Lemmy. To avoid this outcome and keep Lemmy growing, I ask you to please make a recurring donation:

Liberapay | Ko-fi | Patreon | OpenCollective | Crypto

If you want more information before donating, consider the comparison with Reddit. It began as startup funded by rich investors. The site is managed by corporate executives who over time have become more and more disconnected from normal users. Their main goal is to make investors happy and to make a profit. This leads to user-hostile decisions like firing the employee responsible for AMAs, blocking third-party apps and more. As Reddit is a single website under a single authority, it means all users need to follow the same rules, including ridiculous ones like censoring the name "Luigi".

Lemmy represents a new type of social media which is the complete opposite of Reddit. It is split across many different websites, each with its own rules, and managed by normal people who actually care about the users. There is no company and no profit motive. Much of the work is carried out by volunteer admins, mods and posters, who contribute out of enthusiasm and not for money. For users this is great as there is no advertising nor tracking, and no chance of takeover by a billionaire. Additionally there are no builtin political or ideological restrictions. You can use the software for any purpose you like, add your own restrictions or scrutinize its inner workings. Lemmy truly belongs to everyone.

Dessalines and I work fulltime on Lemmy to keep up with all the feature requests, bug reports and development work. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. Previously I sometimes had to rely on my personal savings to keep developing Lemmy for you, but that can't go on forever. We partly rely on NLnet for funding, but they only pay for development of new features, and not for mandatory maintenance work. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached Dessalines and I can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. Please use the link below to see current donation stats and make your contribution! We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
