Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn't happened by this point, I don't see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

I think you're overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it's a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.
I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?
Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you're ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.
I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start
I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!
Reddit? Never heard of it.
I'm kinda in the same boat. Super into tech and computers and know my way around Windows, Mac, and a fair understanding of Debian based Linux... But self hosting still holds many questions to me.
Today, i just discovered that you can use CloudFlare VPN tunneling to basically "convert" a local ISP provided IP directly to a public IP without the need for a dedicated IP. I'm still at work but I'll probably start tinkering with it once I get home. Would love to host Mastodon and Lemmy at home instead of paying a monthly fee just for some light to moderate social media use.
I also want to run some home automation stuff as well as a few static html websites. I know currently what is possible and the basic understanding of how it works, I just need more time to practice!
Feel free to hit me up in DMs if you have any questions or want to exchange notes. Seems like we're both in a similar place rn.
Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
Just curious, what feature are they waiting on?
I personally do not care what people think or tell me about handwriting. I do not enjoy writing things out by hand, I much prefer typing. So that is what I do. Simple as that.
Would love to see the FOSS community take down reddit, especially if there's legitimate merit to it.
If you watch the video, you would understand that this individual is deleting specific comments, then saw the exact same comments that he deleted return some time later.
I would say this: If it's just you accessing your server and nobody else, self-hosting is fine.
When it comes to giving other people access to your server, no matter how close of friends you may be, I would recommend renting a cheap VPS online. The security benefits are just that much better.
I just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don't think twice about it, including myself. I'm definitely trying to be better.
