The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.
From this page:
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:
CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)
All that matters is if she was proud

WHY ARE FERAL HOG POPULATIONS SO HARD TO CONTAIN? BECAUSE THE POPULATION ARE BIG AND ALL THEY DO IS KEEP MAKING 100 OF FERAL HOGS AND I THEY DO IS MAKE THEIR MARK EVERYWHERE THEY AT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM BUT THEY CANNOT BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOUT 2 MILLION OF THESE HOGS AND ORDINARY HUNTING AND THESE FERAL HOGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THESE TYPE OF ANIMALS ARE ONLY IN THE SOUTHERN.
Maybe it’s just because I’m an American that remembers 9/11 and the anthrax scares that came soon after, but I completely understood the evacuation because of a “mysterious white powder”.
I got about halfway through this and it started sounding too much like a conspiracy theory for me to finish.

Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players’ private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word…
Powerless how? I left lol. I am not generating content for that website anymore which means I have taken something away from them.
You can change the default behavior of the Print Screen key to open the Snipping Tool (what you’re talking about). It’s in Windows settings.

There’s no way anybody could POSSIBLY benefit from being artificially limited for no reason. Why even include that?
From https://www.redditinc.com/blog/https-www.redditinc.com-apifacts:
As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open
The 48 hour blackout that was popularized was a complete joke and reminds me of all the corporations that change their social media pictures to pride-themed photos for like 2 days then revert back to not caring at all. Reddit literally did not give two shits about 2 days of ad revenue being gone because they knew it would be back to normal before most people even noticed.
It is pretty convoluted how you subscribe to communities across instances. I figured it out eventually, but I am seeing the question pop up all over the place across lemmy.
This is why Lemmy will never see widespread adoption, which may be a good thing.
If Lemmy can become a place for REAL discussion around hobbies and niche topics like technology (sysadmin, etc.), I would prefer to stay here. Reading the same canned replies over and over on popular Reddit boards gets really old after a while.
The problem is content generation. Without enough people interested in posting to promote discussion, Lemmy will just sink back into obscurity similarly to how Mastodon was fun to talk about, but hard to get people to actually use.
Note that these are just quotes from the disastrous AMA he held last week, not new comments that have been made.

It’s not that Lemmy or Kbin are bad alternatives (I think they’re pretty good tbh), but I would really like to stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. That’s where the vast majority of people are going to stay and so that’s where the interesting posts will stay.
Me continuing to use Reddit is entirely contingent upon Reddit Inc. making mobile apps usable again, either by lowering API costs so 3rd party apps can continue to exist, or improving the official app by a LARGE margin to bring it in line with the apps they’re killing. If they don’t do that, I’m more than happy to stay on Lemmy.
If only we had invented a device that could scroll the web page… Some kind of wheel maybe? It could even go directly on the mouse.
Guess we’ll just have to suffer until then.
