That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3
I’m actually flattered that I have this… reputation on Lemmy lol.
Personally, I don’t care if celebrities come and join, even Taylor. Honestly that’s one of the reasons I’m okay with threads starting to federate, I see celebrities joining there and then we can sub from our instances. Best of both worlds imo.
I don’t think it’s a huge deal, we’ll either know they’re legit or not. Care to weigh in @MargotRobbie@lemmy.world ?
One good thing IMO about threads federating, that we get the celebrities, we know they’re verified, but I don’t have to join corpo social media.
Thanks l, that all makes sense. I’ll keep an eye out
I have a manual process for admitting people, do I need to do anything if I know exactly who is on my instance, or do I need to do anything to protect my instance from other bad acting instances (beyond defederating, which I do when I notice a lot of spam). Any queries you recommend?
Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.
Aaaaand a million influencers rush there to destroy the place
And then you are basically hiring an infra team to run the services and have the redundancy, and then with salaries you’re nearing just paying for software again
Finally someone in industry is saying it. Execs are doing layoffs because they thought covid driven revenue would last forever, and that was a moronic thought. Like people would ever be at home in those numbers again, all at once, desperate for things to do. They could have used that time better, and they didn’t. Of course the market was going to dip after covid.
Great article. That’s exactly how I feel playing games like that too. They’re so well done, and the world’s are so great. They just forget the game part of the game.
Well first I don’t know for sure, but I would be very surprised if it didn’t require it just from a game aspect because every Ubisoft game has lately even assassin’s Creed games.
Second, I was talking about the engine itself that they’re using. If it’s the one I think it is, they’re streaming data from the cloud constantly which would mean that it has to be always online
Me, because no one else will be so the price will drop :)
I did, as soon as I learned about the CSAM I moved to the cloud. I like hosting myself, but that moves a possible seizure of assets from my house to my cloud account. Still, I’m sure coming to my house isn’t out of the question.
Just remember, it’s Ubisoft, and it’s on their cloud dependent engine. Treat everything about it as if it was a rental, because someday they’ll take it away. If they do that that’s their choice, but I’ll be waiting until it’s rental prices before I play.
and all I wanted was to host a community about Taylor Swift, and yet here we are.
I love the fediverse, but there are a ton of whiny entitled people here who don’t understand that regular people are hosting these things with their own money and time. I do host my own Lemmy instance, and it’s been one of the most stressful things in my life. I never thought I’d have to register with the federal government as a mandatory CSAM reporter but here I fucking am. Then they go around and say “I need free ones”. The fuck you do. If you need free porn and shit go host it yourself, you can have your house raided by the feds for hosting stuff that isn’t okay.
Let’s see if we can put the context clues together.
All of the free ones were shut down. Only the paid one survived.
Well, I can only assume, but since fediverse services are hosted by real humans and not corporations, I’m going to go out on a limb and say they couldn’t afford to stay afloat.
Another alternative is that requiring payment is a simple way to ensure that the people using your service are also 18+, since it requires a sign in form, acknowledgement, and then credit card. That helps when the feds come knocking on your door asking why you’re letting minors into your service.
As both an instance admin and a mod of a few communities, I can already tell you those are just expectations of any community already. That’s not new, that’s already the baseline. You have to find something even better than that.
