I don't even run it locally but API usage is dirt cheap for how powerful it is. I'm still on my original top up of $10 with heavy usage.
In crypto there are no real options. Please stop with this rhetoric.
It looks like much to me. Amazing
No one remembers the brief stint to leap frog Web3 with Web5? I'm so tired of these tech bros.
I dunno, that poll reads very much in favor of Luigi. The fact that a poll needs to be run in the first place for an act like this. To me anything that's not strongly against this is showing some sort of support.

Maybe making a browser doesn't need to be so damn expensive. Let the web standards freeze so we aren't constantly chasing shiny things. The browser is in a really good spot today. What else does it need to be?
These can't be worth very much. For those doing it, thank you for your expensive vote.
This is sooooo good. This is how you know it's working. This is how you vote with your dollar. Keep up the anti-consumption. Boycott the fuck out of these assholes. Life is more interesting not giving them a single cent.
No but where are you going to go. The options are shrinking.
Even if this isn't entirely true, you know Google wouldn't pass up the opportunity to reduce Firefox market share to scare everyone back to Chrome.
Someone will post about victories in anti consumption and mods will remove it minutes or hours later. r/news is especially guilty of this.
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I'm back for good after I found out they're also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
And if it changes, I will leave and stop paying. They are a user centric model. They thrive because of paying users.
I'm American and I'm boycotting the hell out of it too. Supporting my neighborhood businesses.
I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It's so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.
I did it for a few months and really enjoyed it. At the end of 3 months, I realized I could achieve nearly the same thing by turning off all notifications except messages and calls and uninstalling all social media. I realized... if I have the willpower to use a dumbphone I have the willpower to keep the distraction off my smartphone. Phone usage is now 100% intentional with the right setup.
I did it for 3 months. I really enjoyed my time doing it and learned a lot about my usage. It was a cheap $50 experiment. After I went back to my smartphone, I uninstalled ALL social media apps. Turned off ALL notifications but left calls and messages as an exception. My smartphone is now essentially a feature phone. It's not 100% the same since the big screen does lure you in to use it but my usage is still way down and because I don't have any social media there's no reason for me to be on my phone around other people. I wholeheartedly recommend trying it for those curious.
Just the type of mod I want!
Dad programming jokes are the finest there is.
I think it's done like that on purpose so that their Canes sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting.

It's a really fun time to self-host today
I've never had so much fun self-hosting. A decade or so ago I was hosting things on Linode and running all kinds of servers for myself but with the rise of cloud services, I favored just giving everything to Google. I noticed how popular this community was on Reddit/Lemmy and now it's my new addiction.
I'm a software engineer and have plenty of experience deploying to AWS/GCP so my head has been buried in the sand with these cloud providers. Now that I'm looking around there are things like NextCloud, Pihole, and Portainer all set up with Cloudflare Zero Trust... I feel like I'm living the dream of having the convenience to deploy my own services with proper authentication and it's so much fun.
Reviving old hardware to act as local infra is so badass it feels great turning on old machines that were collecting dust. I'm now trying to convince my brother to participate in doing hard-drive swaps on a monthly basis so I have some backup redundancy off-site without needing to back up to t

Popular Hardware for Self Hosters?
I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?
