I quite like the originals. While I'm big fan of spicy stuff (I get one level down from maximum spicy at a local Indian place), I tried x2 and saw a glimmer of what people might like about it, but it was a step too far for me, where it lost flavor for the sake of spiciness. x3 has got to be straight battery acid. I don't know how any human can buy those saying "Yep, this is the level I enjoy."

This is the way.

Mmmmm... silica.

Angry noodle necks.

I mean I’m not super sure if geese “adopt” other goslings

Not sure how close duck behavior is to goose, but I watched a mama duck assault the ever-living fuck out of a duckling following her until it ran off cheeping furiously and hiding in a bush. I assume that it was part of another nearby clutch as there were a lot of ducks in the area, and she was having none of it.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don't respect that at all, and they're instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that's the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It's mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled "The Principles of Communism" just to sign up should've tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It's a choice you need to make.

Went under about two years after the crowdfunding. Guess people didn't want to pay $2 a pop for chilled and filtered tap water.

That is quite simple. You're the only one to provide a coherent answer so far so thanks for that.

I'm looking for a bit more info though. Did you get any other benefits besides the equivalent of warm fuzzies? Sounds like an extremely outsized cost/benefit assessment you had to confirm.

Why was it worth it? What benefits did you gain from the change?

Probably RT.

Oops, I've got a citation for you.

I know the response will be what you already said in a previous comment about companies saying "trust us bro" so I'll take the L on this one.

This is such a Lemmy take, good god.

"Cloudflare has been around for over a decade and doesn't do anything nefarious with my data and have never shown any intention of doing so... but, consider this for a moment... what if they DID?"

Unless you're planning on installing the panels yourself, the price is actually going up now because the labor component of the installation is growing faster than the equipment prices are declining. Furthermore, many utilities are trying to enact regressive metering policies that will make ROI nearly impossible to achieve over the life of the panels.

The best time to install was the year the IRA was signed into law. The second best time is now.

How do you know if someone is a Linux user? Don't worry, they'll tell you. Lump them in with Vegans and Crossfitters.

Fair, I will continue to use my buttons to push this content out of view.

Don't normalize this shit.

Opposing viewpoints are fine. Disingenuous viewpoints that conveniently show the egregious fallacies of that viewpoint and ignore them when pointed out deserve all the criticism they get.

And we know what one specific viewpoint we're talking about. Lemmy is so deeply infested with it now with the exact same bend that it's a disgustingly obvious disinformation campaign and voter suppression tactic.

Again, don't normalize this shit.

Never been more thankful for a block function. This clown is bad for all of us.

My friend ordered an omelette without the eggs before, and it worked. A server wouldn't sell me a double shot of Jager because it was "too much alcohol" but had no problem selling me two single shots at once.

All depends on how accommodating your server is.

occasionally I'll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn't be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.

My dryer's "energy saver" setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.
