You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.

I’m probably doing solar in spring, and I’m paying 20 cents per kwh. It’s about a 13 year breakeven time, but that works for my circumstances. I plan to be here for awhile, my roof faces the right way, and it’s a reasonable diversification of investment.

I’ll still have some dependence on the grid, especially in winter. Might pull from the grid in some early morning hours, but net metering credits should pay for that.

I consider the rising price of electricity and the capital gains from an index funds roughly a wash. It’s not, but I also don’t want 100% of my investments in the stock market, and it’s nice to do something responsible for the world.

So make sure to do your whole installation in one year. You only get to claim the 30% federal tax credit once. So don’t go small with a plan to go bigger later. I couldn’t do this without the federal credit.

Well, this one is real

Bush attacked a country that had nothing to do with the event

I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.

The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.

The effect was that Android got “Find My” about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won’t be compatible. But isn’t Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.

Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn’t matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.

They’re not far left. They’re China/Russia shills. Authoritarianism isn’t far left.

Does it matter who is doing it? Social media is rife with propaganda ever since r/the_donald was such a successful operation.

There are no volunteers that respond as quickly and consistently as r/t_d mods did. Anything counter to the narrative would be removed within seconds, at any time of day

All the governments?

The point is that if you’re going to keep blackmail, you have to share with the government.

The easy answer is to stop keeping blackmail.

You must have had a different kind of PM.

It’s a guideline, not a rule. Just talk to us if you have a situation.

Income based fast food prices

They’ve barely raised their prices in the last decade, they’re actually pretty fast, and there’s nearly always a bunch of people queued up.

Depends on the location too. For my location everything on the menu is $2 more than it is in the nearby, similarly-sized city. And there’s a high quality Wendy’s right next door.

I’ll take good Wendy’s at half the price of Five Guys.

Of course everyone is doing tiered pricing. You either use their apps or pay double. I think half of it is to get the app on your phone, and the other half is simply to make you jump through hoops for lower pricing. They all want to charge obscene prices, and then if you object, give you an option other than not going there. “Just install our app” could just as easily be “pat your head while standing on one leg and rubbing your stomach, and we’ll give you 40% off.”

This is one of your first comments in nine months. Generally we look for more activity than that before granting a mod request. What are you suggesting we do about it? Remove the current mod and replace them with… ?

You can help grow the community without being a mod. If they’re taking unfair action against you, come talk to us (as you have). If they’re afk, that doesn’t stop the community from growing.

Community hoarding would certainly be a point against them in any discussions, but first there has to be a discussion.

If you want to take over a dead community, or a community where the mods have been inactive for six months, please reach out to me.

I’d be stuck moderating those communities

Hi, I’m with the Community Team of Lemmy.World.

Moderating a small community really doesn’t take more than five minutes a month. Assuming you’re on a lemmy.world account, you’ll just get notifications when people report things (depending on your client). All you’ve really gotta do is set some rules (optional), and respond to reports within a reasonable timeframe.

I’m making a real effort to avoid supermods like Reddit had, but a big part of that is getting people who aren’t just hungry to use mod powers to volunteer to mod. Most of the time, when reaching out to people to mod, I’ll either get no response to my message at all. Often I’ll get “I dont have the free time at the moment for a commitment” from someone who posts 9 times a day, every day.

Meanwhile, I believe the mods we have now are pretty great, and they’ll absolutely volunteer to help more.

I understand how Reddit got to the position they’re in. If people wanna help avoid that, please step up. Unless you’re modding !news or !worldnews or something on that level, it’s very rare you actually have to do something. And for people that are active, just being subscribed to the community and browsing it as you normally would does the job.

You absolutely can go farther, but you don’t have to be a mod to grow a community.

Please, if you’re browsing Lemmy at least a few days a week anyway, take a look at the mods in couple of your favorite communities. If they haven’t posted in 6 months, reach out to me.
