  • So I have a question for YouTube Premium haters:

    How is this any different than what most people pay for both another music service and another video service? It’s about half the cost of other music + video services (when combined), even with the increased pricing over the years. I’ve been paying for YouTube Premium since the awkward Google Play Music transition and it’s a bargain, especially when I had my student discount at like $4.99 a month.








  • The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

    From this page:

    Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

    CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

    I think it’s OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn’t be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.











  • The world tier will depend on your class. I’m playing WT2 as a barb and it feels a lot like D2, which is exactly what I want. I have to hit things 3-4 times for them to die and the game is a lot slower than it would be on WT1.

    The problem that comes from that slower/harder gameplay is that I can’t kill the Butcher lol. I’ve seen him twice now before finishing Act 3 and I haven’t even gotten close. Also, some events are hard to “master” for the bonus reward.

    I’m sure anything besides a barbarian would be fine leveling on WT2 and you wouldn’t even be able to tell a difference.



  • It is pretty convoluted how you subscribe to communities across instances. I figured it out eventually, but I am seeing the question pop up all over the place across lemmy.

    This is why Lemmy will never see widespread adoption, which may be a good thing.

    If Lemmy can become a place for REAL discussion around hobbies and niche topics like technology (sysadmin, etc.), I would prefer to stay here. Reading the same canned replies over and over on popular Reddit boards gets really old after a while.

    The problem is content generation. Without enough people interested in posting to promote discussion, Lemmy will just sink back into obscurity similarly to how Mastodon was fun to talk about, but hard to get people to actually use.
