A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.

Every service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.

Let’s be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn’t that much expensive to justify a response like this.

Please note that I’m not taking sides; I was simply curious about the actual numbers, so I’m sharing them here in the hope that someone finds them interesting.

Because they ran out of trees* 😔

Try Godot. It’s not exactly the same, but similar enough to let you switch relatively quickly.

Let me rephrase, why is a sensationalised local article being posted as world news? How is this news worthy?

Usually, cracking doesn’t typically result in the blocking of network features. This is why most groups suggest blocking the executable in the firewall.

You don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Unfortunately, inflation is up as well, and sugar prices are through the roof. \s

That’s an odd fetish to have, but who am I to judge.

My bad. I forget we’re supposed to use the image of Winnie the Pooh when representing Xi.

This deserved to become a meme. (See attached image /kbin)
