Except Netflix uses AWS. Which makes it Amazon's achievement.

Literally all Netflix did was get streaming rights before streaming was mainstream, grow because of it, have everyone drive off into the sunset with said rights and make it all shittier.

All Netflix offers these days is 2 season shows that end on a cliffhanger, concerning controversies that make the industry worse as a whole, and Sony movies because Sony doesn't have their own streaming service for some reason.

Yea. It just can’t pack files into RaR.

IF you're going to run your self-hosted server to run a minecraft server, get a webclient front-end. Even though it's not FOSS and therefore a no-no with most lemmy users, AMP from Cube Coders is a great option, it starts a flat $10 fee for a permanent license. It has some fantastic features for remote backup among supporting other games.

However, if you're a bit concerned about that there is Pterodactyl, which I've heard good things about, but I went with AMP because it supports other game servers like GMOD.

as an aside, sms 2fa is the worst 2fa as sms is completely unencrypted.

Exactly, they might get fined $300,000 for making $2,000,000,000 in profit.

They wouldn't dare!

7zip exists and is free.

Remember, this isn't because they're at record losses, or that they're breaking even.

It's literally because they're not making enough profit.

This is the freemarket system functioning as intended.

A company can still be making money, still be above water, but decide their shareholders need to be even better off and they will decide they deserve money more than people struggling and making it by barely check-to-check.

This is Apples to Oranges.

Quake is dead because modern and frequently updated options exist, even 1-1 like Xonotic.

The alternative to Lemmy is Reddit which will only continue to enshittify.

A more apt comparison is Bullentin boards.

Bulletin boards still exist in the modern era, and are in frequent use, despite their age.

Except it's not a standard GPL license. It's an AGPL license.

Which does place many restrictions on commercial use and explicit rules for usage as a SaaS.

Except Lemmy isn't a single Lemmy.com that will one day run out of money and implode into nothingness.

Lemmy, Mastodon, and other ActivityPub based Fediverse Networks are muliti-node systems.

This is just pure nihilism without a hint of thought put into it. Nothing short of the world exploding and human annihilation will kill Lemmy, And even then, there are bots.

Reminder that Competing Social Network Mastodon still charges new users $0 a year, as legally required in it's AGPLv3 License.
