  • Very sad to hear but totally understandable. Unfortunately, this will make the centralization of lemmy world even worse.

    How much effort is it actually to host a small instance? I am thinking about hosting one mostly for my self. Mainly because I am interested in the technology. Also my country doesn’t have one so that could be a topic too if there is some interest. But hearing this I am not so sure anymore. I can’t put many hours into it each week just to keep it running.





  • My company is making exactly the same mistake right now. I simply can’t understand how a European company can still make itself so dependent on Microsoft at this point. We Devs have raised the issue to our bosses, but there are still a lot of old MS fanboys around. Some people have to learn it the hard way.











  • Alcohol consumption has been declining in many Western countries for decades. But it seems that younger people also don’t go out that often anymore. Many clubs and bars struggle. I think it’s more health awareness and the prices. Why paying 15$ and more for a cocktail and feel shitty the next day?

    I like alcohol but it’s definitely a good trend. I think we forget how much people were drinking back in the day. 20+ years ago it was normal to drive home trashed. And a few decades ago it was perfectly normal to put Schnaps in your morning coffee. And for example construction workers were drinking beer at the morning break at 9am (rural Switzerland).
