Are they expecting people to pay for the service, AND watch ads?

This is the way, to a psychiatric ward, and I'm here for it!

Not at all. It often gives bad answers, or workarounds rather than working code. It's not useful to me if I have to fix its code, when I can do it more efficiently and quicker by my own.

With some hand-holding, it's quite decent at reading and documenting functions, which is what I use it for since I'm too lazy to document them myself. :P

Kmoon is a fantastic name. Looking forward to it!

Agreed. I've always preferred the idea of expansions over DLCs, and would rather pay a higher one-time fee, than a dozen small ones that in summary turn out to cost more and provide less.

We'll see about that. I have already replaced all my comments with garbled message, as a symbolic act, and to also render it unusable for AI training purposes.

If kbin website had an instant webapp handling, that would be amazing.

Why are you not seeing as many posts from Lemmy communities on Kbin?

Hello! You may have noticed that the majority of posts and threads in your feed on Kbin are from within the platform itself. This is because the admin has activated Cloudflare DDoS protection which basically slows down requests to kbin, to prevent the website from experiencing downtime or becoming slow to respond....

Yes it can be disabled for specific requests, referrers, or IPs, but there might be a better idea to differentiate, and hail instances. Maybe via a super cookie?

Let's see how that works out for them. ;)

I run a website and get about 160GB worth of traffic on it per month, and 3TB a year for the files I'm hosting. You'd think it would cost a lot, but that's not true in my case.

The rough estimate is about 300 USD per year.

I have no ads, no referrals, no Google analytics, it's all paid out of my own pocket.

My point is, those companies are just greedy, servers cost less than they used to, and with services like cloudflare, it's even less of an issue.
