Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it’s not going to stop just because bots can’t get in automatically anymore.

I don’t keep an ATM in my bedroom, unfortunately.

Only time I have cash for tipping is when I get tipped.

How am I supposed to sleep at night when my computer’s acting like it’s at a rave?

…Turn it off?

People complain about them supposedly having DRM now or whatever but, to be frank, the fact that I can just click “print” and it actually prints makes it miles ahead by default. My printer actually functions now so I can’t say I have any regrets.

The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.

I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.

Not sure why the cost of gas matters, either, when they have no problem blowing money on Biden gas pump stickers and creating drag on their car by attaching as many Trump and US flags as possible.

And they wonder why we think they’re lunatics.

Republicans and Americans

No, just the Republican Americans. The ones who say they’re Christian but completely ignore how often the Bible outright says to love those around us in favor of hatred because of some irrelevant thing that doesn’t affect them in the slightest, like race or sexuality.

The rest of us normal people are capable of acceptance of each other and desire for the greater good.

Sure, but we have a huge chunk of the country inhabited mostly by tumbleweeds and people with less-than-awesome education. Plus, the concept of Area 51 has been around so long and has been so prolific it’s been constantly referenced in the mainstream, from Scooby-Doo to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.

Yeah, Elon has this idea that he can make WeChat but for places outside of China. An app you’re effectively required to have as a means of communication, identification, payment, and whatever else, and he wants to call it “X.”

Probably a reason they have to come up with names like “libtards” while we can just say “conservatives” as an insult because it’s self-explanatory.

Bro I could say the same thing about global warming, vaccines, race, and abortions, but I’m still surrounded by people fighting progress. Vaping is no different.

Steam accounts don’t disappear. My dad passed away about a decade ago and he’s still on my friends list, account unchanged.

I kinda miss when games had wacky version differences. While there was usually one definitive version compared to the rest, having a brand new experience to play by simply buying the same game elsewhere was actually nice to have in some cases.

Nowadays it’s just “oh, you bought Skyrim on Switch? Here’s some Legend of Zelda armor” and “Depending on which platform you’re playing HITMAN 3 (a singleplayer game) on, you get a suit with a differently colored undershirt!”

Fortunately, I hate videocalls and have no reason to use them, so if my friend videocalled me I’d ask what the fuck they were doing and immediately be suspicious.

When I’m at home sitting around thousands of dollars of gaming hardware, I’m going to use that.

When I’m out and about with less processing power, then I retro game.

Hi, Tulsan here. Raised in this city as long as I can remember.

Only in the last few years has the Tulsa Race Massacre entered mandatory curriculum, I didn’t hear about it until college. When I did hear about it, I also heard that it was purposely censored and historical records of newspapers were missing from libraries and the like. All these fuckers do is deny and pretend bad things didn’t happen.

It’s our own Tiannamen Square. To reiterate, it’s the Tulsa Race Massacre. That has never been disputed. They wanted to lynch a black man and destroyed countless black homes. Please keep talking about this race massacre whenever relevant so that we don’t forget it and let the republican disinformation machine claim another casualty.

According to the article @moon_crush linked, she broke a popularity record previously held by The Beatles with them.

To advertise. If your battery is at 17%, they’re gonna advertise a wireless charger. If you listen to headphones at max volume and are jumping up and down at a concert venue, they’re probably not gonna recommend you earplugs.

My old person trait is dislike of video-form social media. I consider blaring my phone speakers at max volume disrespectful to those in my surroundings and generally annoying.

Hence why my social media of choice was reddit and is now lemmy+kbin. It’s mostly text posts and images.
