I use cloudflare. They sell their domains at-cost, which is nice. Plus all their other features are nice for a (very) small sys/webadmin

Ooh! Maybe for a bike courier or something!

That doesn't make sense 😡

What a silly take. These groups are all so small. Another can still spring up.

When cable TV was first a thing, it was advertised as extra content and with NO commercials. Pay us money, we'll give you a big bundle of channels, and you won't have to see commercials anymore.

Then they started adding more and more commercials in. Nowadays, a half-hour slot is 1/3rd commercials, and probably another 15% of that time is credits and "previously on" or "before the break" or pointless shitty padding

Then Netflix came out. Pay us a monthly fee, you can see all this content whenever you want, no commercials.

Then everyone wanted a slice of Netflix's pie, and now we have a dozen separate streaming services you all have to pay monthly fees for.

The solution is Cable TV 2.0. Compile it all back into one service, charge a higher fee, cut all the ads out (again). Call it Fiber TV or something, idk. Otherwise people will realize it's easier to pirate shit again than to navigate and pay for 8 different streaming services

I've seen a Lemmy community for cats at least once

Another technical writer? In the Midwest? I'm not alone!

Maybe it'll be a mechanic like malaria in Far Cry 2

Big agree. Supposedly I was in the top 1% of reddit commenters last year. Now I'm here, dipping my toes in the Lemmy waters. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The comments section makes reddit for me, and if all the commenters and moderators leave it, then it will be an even bigger cesspool.
