In a lot of places you can legally cross the street at the corner regardless of whether there is a crosswalk and drivers are legally required to stop.
But yea if they don’t stop and you are dead you’re dying words can be, “I had the right of way, motherfuh- cough cough”
I assume the server instance and the user would both have to be in the country. But I don’t think lemmy instances are making money off of their users that I know of.
I think I am on shitjustworks… i don’t know how big my instance is I just chose it because it has a cool name.
It has gone down a few times and at first my reaction was to go to is it down dot com to see if the problem was with my app… but then I had the realization that ohhhh, it’s just my home server is down… I thought about making a separate account on another instance but instead just decided to do something else with those few minutes I would have spent here….
No big deal…. It’s happened a few times in the couple months I’ve been here, but it always works eventually… I really like this platform, and the philosophy behind it, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to understand all the inner workings and how the instances work together, but I don’t feel like I need to.
But I can see how people who understand it even less than I do might get frustrated and so that is going to be a limiting factor with new growth here I would assume…
Your boss is dumb as a bucket of rocks.
Makes to much sense.
We prefer to privatize the gains, and socialize the losses. That way when the electric grid fails, the multibillion dollar corporate utility companies can be bailed out by their customers
