I guarantee you it means something to the residents of those six houses.

It’s easy to lose track of individual humanity at the scale of a war, but this victory is the one these people will always most remember when they think of the tide turning. Their lives are worth something.

Your head is so far up your own propaganda I can’t even tell what you’re trying to say here.

I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.

Alright I’m going to go out on a limb and say that /r/WatchPeopleDie shouldn’t be lumped in with that other human trash.

Every month or so I would get morbidly curious and scroll that sub for ten or fifteen minutes. Firstly, the comments and posts never seemed… I don’t know I have the right word… sociopathic? gleeful? cruel?

The tone of the whole sub was much more somber. I always came away from that sub with a stark reminder that we are so so fragile, and our future can get snuffed out by the universe – sheer random chance – at any moment.

To me it was a reminder to live more in the present. Don’t take tomorrow for granted, and I saw a lot of the sort of thing in the comments.

A lot of the videos were just random shit, like pedestrians getting hit stuck by a rogue tire flung from a car crash 500 feet away. Just totally senseless and sad… but in a way that helps put what’s important in perspective.

Wow. I had not done the math. That’s an obscene amount of money. 1000 requests is nothing for a web app like Reddit, even with agreeing over-fetching.

The crazy thing is that they might have gotten away with it if they had structured it right. Set up the infastructure themselves to charge the individual user directly for their API use rather than the App creators. Carve out exceptions for moderation APIs and known moderation bots. I probably would have paid a few bucks a month to keep using Relay. I would have grumbled about it… but I would have done it.

Now I’m just gonna leave, lol.

Thanks for the swift response!

Is there a guide for how to register on multiple Lemmy instances? I am registered here, but noticed that I can’t subscribe to communities on other instances? I assume I need to register there as well, but how do I get my subscriptions on both instances to funnel into the same place?

Thanks! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this
