  • Browsing Reddit

    Jump

  • Protip: before nuking your account get one of those apps that replaces all the text with jibberish, that way not only are you making reddit less attractive to new people but less useful to bots and reddit itself.

  • Think I am getting carried away with self hosting (stock image library)

    Jump

  • Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!

  • The tanks in Cushing, Oklahoma, are hitting bottom. The oil market is about to hit a tipping point

    Jump

  • Oh we're definitely getting solar. Even with all the red tape around its installation and tax money spent oil subsidies, it's getting to be so cheap that few of the roadblocks matter. There is very little even the oligarchs can do at this point to stop it's adoption.

  • I mean, if you believe in capitalism as many of our dear leaders do, you wouldn't feel a need to "ask people" about limiting usage. As a product becomes more expensive, eventually people will naturally limit usage and purchase another cheaper product.

    Not saying that's correct or how it works but might explain the behavior.

  • Cheat Engine now has a Linux version released

    Jump

  • This is awesome I was just looking for something like this for Linux. PINCE did the job and came close but the community support around Cheat Engine is where is shines.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation...? Maybe save for therapy.

  • Reddit moderators be like:

  • Ironic that this was posted to Lemmy where anyone can not just be a mod but an administrator too

  • Lemmy Browser Frontends for App or Old -Reddit Style Experience

  • I Finally Found an Ebike That Doesn’t Look Dorky

    Jump

  • LOL this was my exact thought. I actually kinda like the way it looks, but it has the same energy as an engineering student inventing his own ebike in the 1980s.

  • Dozen of us

    Jump

  • What a classic .world take. GO READ A BOOK.

  • Democrats campaigning on "affordability" are cutting back on their anti-oil rhetoric but they should be focusing on removing the red tape surrounding solar, which could be much cheaper!

    Jump

  • Solar Surpasses Coal in Historic Shift For US Electricity Mix

    Jump

  • This is really telling. Coal industry receives large government subsidies, and solar is getting put behind a lot of red tape and permitting, etc. And despite these efforts it is still catching on.

  • 12 year old account permanently banned. First post on lemmy :)

    Jump

  • Funny I had a 15 year account and was never once banned from anything, ever.

    I swear the threadiverse is a remote island made up of 50% idealists and 50% convicts.

  • Got my Steam Controller guys! Ain't she a beaut 🤩

    Jump

  • N64, Dreamcast and Saturn be like 😠

  • Wasting China’s solar panel surplus is madness | Clean power is within our reach — yet factories sit idle

    Jump

  • I'm glad to see this in the Financial Times because "clean power" is only half the equation here. There is an economic benefit because solar is cheap power! And there also a national defense angle because solar is increasingly decentralized power that kneecaps both the terrorist looking to damage power infrastructure, not to mention the very concept of the petrostate.

  • Gramps web ... looks cool if only I could import my data

    Jump

  • 😂 It wasn't until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.

    I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!

  • I like Omarchy, now what?

    Jump

  • If one wanted to avoid using for free anything that had a fascists hand in it's creation you'd be living in a mud hut. Seriously.

  • Gramps web ... looks cool if only I could import my data

    Jump

  • I can't help you so I'm going to rant about something not related.

    Gramps is great once it's up and running but it's so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.

    Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of "Create new birth/wedding/etc event" from the person page.

  • I like Omarchy, now what?

    Jump

  • I'm confused, Omarchy is MIT licensed. It means you can use it and keep all the rights. You are under no obligation to financially or politically support the people who contribute code and they do not get a say with how you use the software.

    EDIT: Also literally posting this to a Lemmy instance...
