Bailout, or government ownership run by DOGE? I hear they have some servers available - well, soon.

Wow. Here is a free guide from the EFF, though it’s from 2017 so I don’t know how useful it still is.

Admirable and totally understandable. I feel like FanDuel or whatever would be knocking at the door every day

What TV series have the best intros? What TV series have the worst intros? in c/Television@lemm.ee

Disney absolutely butchered the art of intros for its Star Wars shows by simply…not having them really. And I think it sucks.

Can someone explain the IP sharing with peers part (a popup from that site)? Sounds like a torrent, but how does that work with copyright? To be clear, I don’t give a fuck, just curious

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Discord simply feels like the evolution of IRC to me - the part where it sucks is being corporate owned and all the fuckery that comes with that. An alternative to irc that incorporates voice, forums, etc, and isn’t named Ventrillo or Teamspeak (🤢) would be a viable alternative. Maybe this exists. But, it would take something like the latest Reddit exodus for anyone to switch, because discord is extremely entrenched across many platforms.

“Even though it came out pre-9/11, Deux Ex has a skyline without the trade towers; the game's backstory reveals that they were destroyed by terrorists. Let's hope the developers weren't as prescient with the game's pandemic plot line.” - 2009

GIMP needs a glow up. It looks like what it is, but for a program looking for artists and designers to switch - you’re not going to get it by looking like the Temu photoshop.
