But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal

Time to let go

Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling

But that’s what the marketers are selling, “this will replace a lot of workers!” and it just cannot

Just noticed that said user had posted numerous memes here, and now they added a post description complaining about this to each and every one of them

This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.

The problem of course is that the vast mass of consumers won’t do this, it’s only us weirdos

Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games

And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive

At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there’s a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

Quick aside: sunblock also works on the fun bits

So it was them, they better restrict heavily who can use it or it’ll become full of a very specific kind of porn…

The reason was not right, they should have been removed from power ages ago, but at least this collateral damage is a tiny bit of justice served at the end.

Here’s a post from 2021 about this person giving some background. I recall even a change.org petition requesting them being banned.

Also, you might recall them for making the news recently after banning an artist from /r/art because they said a piece by them was made by AI, and when proven otherwise they said that it was obviously based on AI and that they should find a better style, which escalated to the point that the sub was temporarily closed

Seeing that person going down is a nice piece of justice in this shitstorm. It happened for the wrong reasons, admins should have removed this person long ago and didn’t, but at least it’s something.
