Big P

It’s like when steam added group chats and discord added games

Aw man I really liked it as a concept

OP said that the port wasn’t open, unless they meant the port was already in use rather than the port was closed?

But what firewall blocks that by default?

Why do you need to open a port if its listening locally?

Normally I purposefully don’t click on articles with AI generated images, this one was so bad I thought it was a really bad photoshop instead

But can you set a limit to stop it going above the free tier

Does netlify not let you set a spend limit?

Why pay for hosting a static site at all when github, cloudflare etc offer free hosting

The truth is that for something like Facebook groups the biggest feature is that everyone is already there, and by that metric there is no alternative

I wish I could move but mac OS multi-monitor support is terrible and Linux desktop gives me endless problems

I’ve got a whole powershell script I run these days on a new Windows install to remove eveything I don’t need and set things how I like them

Considering that every single generation has nostalgia its baffling to me this is even news

Had a very similar thing. Company I worked for had their best year by a long mile in 2020. Hired like crazy and talked big about all these deals in the pipeline with massive companies. Didn’t understand why deals started to fall through once lockdown ended, scrambled to try and fix things but just made themselves look directionless.

That seems stupid

I could see valve moving to a telemetry/user feedback based system in the future - e.g 78% of users who ran this on a steam deck played for more than x hours and didn’t crash

It’s a podcast called Parenting Hell

Thankfully Spotify’s podcast platform still supplies RSS for most podcasts. The only exclusive podcast I listen to got so much backlash they had to make it non exclusive again

I’ve been saying for ages that podcasts are the last mainstream bastion of what the Internet is supposed to be. Imagine if it was the same for film and tv?

What are the actual reasonable outcomes here:

1. The search engine becomes successful and requires monetization to pay for the hosting/indexing costs
2. The search engine does not become successful and the ever increasing cost of indexing the entire internet forces monetization or shut down
3. You self host your own version, in which case you need to start indexing yourself (see problem #2)
