Just checked. Still works.

That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently nobody showed up.

So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

Repair it, hack it, and turn it into a retro gaming console. You might need to solder a chip onto it for the hack to work if it’s a newer model, but it could be a fun side project.

My 2nd cake day was going to be a few days after shutdown :(

Lemm.ee was a fantastic instance, it will be greatly missed. Huge thanks to the admins and owner that made it happen for so long.

A shame the communities will be lost in the transition, the movies/television communities are genuinely cursed. This is the 4th or 5th time people moved that community.

I guess now would be a good time to give Piefed another shot. I love Lemmy and all, but new features have stalled for too long and I’m ready for some change.

So long, lemm.ee

If only it had a snapdragon 8 elite instead of a mediatek chip

The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.

They stole OPs brain before he wrote it

FR. For anybody that doesn’t know Paypal’s customer support is abysmal and they can freeze your account for petty reasons without warning. There are many cases of people fighting with Paypal for months before being able to cash out, you should never use it to hold money.

For people who don’t know what this is referencing:

which in turn is a riff on these stupid facebook posts:

This is a legitimate strategy in Cities Skylines where you can drive up the taxes so high to earn insane amounts of money then lower them back when you lose half your population. Helps with traffic, too

I’ll probably slip on a banana peel right down the stairs

Just in time for them to talk about bloodborne 2 and silksong. Can’t wait!

The battery life test is even more damning. SteamOS in some cases had more than 2x better battery life.

My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it’s always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing

If anything I wish competition in the laptop space would be fiercer. We know Nvidia and AMD are making ARM chips but it might be a while, all we have now are Snapdragon and they aren’t very good.

DONT USE UNETBOOTIN. This tool more often than not breaks something and causes issues for people. Somebody I know used it and broke booting into Windows, he had to use a USB anyway to fix the bootloader.

Thank you. I think most communities need to enforce a rule like this because there are a lot of ridiculous people on the platform. I post a ton on /c/games and /c/movies and I’m still getting a lot of comments that are essentially whining about hating the company that made it or telling others to stop enjoying it. If you’re on a gaming community and aren’t here to talk about gaming, why ARE you here in the first place?

Shoutout to a lot of times I post about a new game and get occasional comments similar to “Ew why would I buy a 70 euro game when I can wait 2 years to buy it at 15 euros”. adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. Also the occasional “is this post an ad???” comment for posting an article about upcoming games.

Lemmy LOVES this ragebait shit

I don’t understand how people listen to audiobooks. I tried multiple times to give it a try but always zone out after 5 minutes and miss parts of the story.
