It’s still there and playable. I read that NCsoft is currently in some financial trouble so if you want to give it another try, better start sooner than later. ;)

Guild Wars 1

Which means drinking two cups of coffee a day still makes up for around 4 kg of lamb meat per year.

Would be also interesting to see other people’s up and downvotes but only after you voted. That way you’d still vote unbiased while at the same time getting to know how (un)popular of an opinion you have.

In case you haven’t done that already, also check out YouTube. I’m often suprised how much copyrighted documentaries are available there.

Then he might not understand that it was on purpose. Get one for 50, have dinner there yourself for around 45 and give him the card with the few residual bucks.

Or his phamous son Nut El Amunch.

Aluminium foil needs a lot of energy to produce. I’d recommend an old newspaper or (non laminated) cardboard to soak it up. If you plan a barbecue anytime soon, you can use the greasy paper as a perfect firestarter. Otherwise just put it in the trash when cold.

If you consider only the RAM on the developers’ PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that’s pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.

Wouldn’t it rather be DEL? CUT can only move stuff elsewhere and doesn’t just delete stuff.

If you’re browsing ‘all’ without any filters there’s still a good portion of porn and porn-like content that’s objectfying and thus probably repelling women.

Air-water heatpumps are far more efficient than air-air! ;)

How do you see someone screaming into the void if you muted them?

What? Why?

Boost (Android) does that as well.

That’s an amazing idea from my perspective which would really help the fediverse in general. Your proposal would solve not only the issue of instances disappearing completely but also temporary outages. For example Feddit.de as one of the biggest German instances had several technical issues lately. And as instances are typically administered by volunteers during their freetime that’s totally fine, accepted and expected. Such a failover concept would heavily reduce the pressure on their shoulders!

Unlike others, I’d expect a signicifant decline of posts as not only many users but also loads of communities would be lost. That’s why from my perspective users and communities should be evenly distributed across instances.

On top of that, there should be a feature to move entire accounts or communities to other instances. That way a community including all its members could just be migrated before a major shutdown.

Similarly, I think it would be a huge disturbance for the email system and possibly the entire internet world-wide if Gmail went down next month even though there are in theory plenty of alternative providers. Or supermarkets. If the IT of Walmart, Visa/MasterCard, Amazon AWS, Microsoft etc. have an outage it always has huge impact.

Lemmy as a whole isn’t that big and far from being critical infrastructure but we all want it to grow we should bear in mind that huge central services are always more risky than many small services.
