What is the long-term storage plan for Lemmy instances?

Over time, Lemmy instances are going to keep aquiring more, and more data. Even if, in the best case, they are not caching content and they are just storing the data posted to communities local to the server, there will still be a virtually limitless growth in server storage requirements. Eventually, it may get to a point where...

I’m all for donations, but comment awards just sucked tbh. Opening Reddit felt like opening some microtransaction-ridden mobile game.

Not a fan of any monetary way to give extra visibility or attention to some comment. I think there’s a kind of slippery slope involved in such dynamics. Just my opinion though, nothing wrong with yours.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

I’ve been getting a new phone every 4 years, but it isn’t hard to answer your question tbh. New products feel amazing. Companies invest millions if not billions of dollars in marketing to make you crave the newest device, even if yours is quite decent. I think that’s also the reason Apple pays so much attention to the packaging and their setup wizards so that getting a new product is an almost magical experience you want to relive. Ask any person with a shopping addiction, they’ll explain to you the rush of a new product like no one else.

Es gibt sicher eine Erklärung dafür, aber viele Leute haben echt Probleme mit einem breiteren Angebot von Produkten…? Ich kann mich an ein Werbungsvideo für Alkoholfreien Cider auf Instagram erinnern, welches dann nur mit Kommentaren der Art “Ist doch nicht Bier sondern Saft”, oder “Alkoholfrei? Das will ich nichtmal gratis xdxd” zugespammt wurde.

Yeah drawabox is really good and especially free :)

Nice! Keep going, hiking is really rewarding!

MacOS, yes I’m happy. Due to my job in IT I lost all interest in tinkering with computers in any way, shape or form.

Listening to internet radio is great and free!

So I’ve been enjoying listening to different radio stations all over the world for the past month and have never felt the need to open Spotify. Might be cancelling my subscription soon. It’s also pretty cool to listen to a radio program that’s been hand picked by a radio host. Of course that doesn’t count if you’re an...

I assume that they mainly focus on Migros / Coop, right? Or do they also cover Aldi and Lidl products?

No, but I still don’t advise doing anything illegal. People on online forums act like Piracy is a “cool edgy” crime to partake in, but at the same time you don’t really want to get in legal trouble later down the road for seeding some stupid TV show. If you need to pirate stuff and want to avoid legal trouble just get yourself an Usenet subscription.
