Overcast

Data cap never made sense because ISPs pay for pipe size, not total of data. Someone using 20mbps 24/7 will use a lot more data but cause a lot less congestion than someone using 300mbps for 1hr at peak hour every day.

If their infra is undersized, they should at least not count data between midnight and 8am toward the data cap since the pipes are mostly sitting idles

It's simple: if you have to pay "copyright holders" for anything you use your AI training on, there can be no AI training. They need to ingest all the data they can to become better and it would cost dozen of billions if you had to pay every single piece of content. So we have to pick between a future in which "copyright holders" fight to get their $ or a future where we can push AI to enter a new era

Is McLaren going to fight at the top now or it's a fluke?

I use Ubuntu for everything (including at work, tens of thousands machines) and it's great

You can order a Canadian server with fairly low latency. I have one but I also have a couple of machines at home. I don't like buying used and I care about wattage so I usually get beelinks mini PC from Amazon. They often have deals where you can have good specs for <$150, including 128gb SSDs, 8 or 16gb of ram and a 4 cores 15w CPU

I had so much time yet so few things to watch and play growing up, I think I've become a data hoarder as a "response" to this. Now I love being able to provide friends & family all the content they could ever want.

I like that it is linked directly from the Private Community message on Reddit. I wish more subreddit picked a new official place and linked it, that way people would actually try something else instead of waiting the end of the blackout.

If it was money he was after, he'd keep milking PSG, no need to go to Saudi Arabia. I think he wants a champion's league and realizes that it's not happening at PSG in the next 2-3 years

If that was the case, Qatar Sport Investment would be the one doing the bidding. Sheikh Jassim (the potential buyer of manU) does not work for the emir (owner of QSI and PSG) and there's even some bad blood between them

That's usually my fear with the fediverse. Whenever I step on mastodon.social, 2/3 of the front page is ultra left memes and talking point. I mostly want to talk tech and sport, not read about culture wars. It's been hard to escape the crazy politics, and so far lemmy.world seems to have a lot of communities focused on other topics which is very welcome

Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable

It's their own fault. They didn't have to take hundred of millions of venture capital and hire thousands of people. They didn't have to go try to become a XX billion dollars company fighting with Facebook and Tiktok.

They could be profitable with a hundred engineers, a hundred support staff and reasonable ads. They could make delivering ads part of their API and have 3rd party apps serve them for them. They could let those 3rd party app handle the mobile markets since those solo devs are creating better apps than the hundreds of engineers at Reddit.

I'm really annoyed that they are changing a winning formula to build something that nobody wants

Sounds like Lemmy is quite power hungry. What are the specs of the new server? Can Lemmy be split into its services (e.g pictures on a different servers?)
