Mama told me not to come.

She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

sugar_in_your_tea,

My company sold a part of our business, and I casually mentioned to our VP that it’s almost enough to buy everyone in the company a lamborghini. He didn’t seem to think that would be a good idea, but that stock buybacks and a big dividend would be…

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, and I use them. 512MB is more than enough for a lot of things.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, single purpose servers really don’t need much RAM. If you just need to stream music, you could use a lot less.

sugar_in_your_tea,

My Mikrotik router at home (entry level enterprise gear) has 512MB RAM, and it can do most of what those bigger routers can, just a lot fewer connections.

sugar_in_your_tea,

You can disable ads and AI in the settings.

I’m against defederartion, but I also actively avoid their communities.

I don’t think the problem is with a majority of users, just a handful, but many in that handful are mods. As an anecdote, I got temp banned from a community there because somehow our discussion shifted to Russia, despite the topic having nothing to do with it, and the mod banned me for “anti-Russia” something or other (nothing I said seemed to violate community or instance rules), but I think the real reason was me challenging that user’s authority.

I’ve also noticed a lot of downvotes for well-cited but “against the left” comments, and the responses I get are often low-effort.

I’ve also had some decent discussion there as well. I’ve challenged people’s views and had good reubuttals, so it’s really not all bad. I’m guessing it’s a fraction of very active users that cause a lot of the issues.

So I’m against defederation, but I also recommend avoiding their communities. It seems to be a strong echo chamber, but those who aren’t interested in that do seem to branch out. So don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Some instead do a Russian-style approach. It’s the same thing, but with posts from users critical of Russia.

sugar_in_your_tea,

In general, I’ve found myself happier and discussions more interesting when I replace a lemmy.ml community wo with one from another instance. When there are two competing communities with similar active users, i’ve found the non-lemmy.ml one to be better by pretty much any metric.

So it does work. Make a better community and users will come.

sugar_in_your_tea,

And a battle pass.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Agreed. We follow agile, and we have a team of product owners who know where the project is likely headed in the next 3 years. Our sprint to sprint is usually pretty predictable, but we can and do make adjustments when new requirements come in. The product team decides how and when to adjust priorities, and they do a good job minimizing surprises.

It works pretty well imo, and it hinges on the product team knowing what they’re doing.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, my parents claim to not play video games, but my mom likes word puzzles on her phone, and that totally counts imo.

sugar_in_your_tea,

No he doesn’t. There are certain situations where a citizen may make an arrest, but AFAIK this isn’t one of them.

They should sue the Jimmy Kimmel Show for assault.

Honestly, solar panels above parking lots would rock. Shade for people in the parking lots, and power generation. Yet we don’t do it…

sugar_in_your_tea,

I’ve never seen it. In my area, they’re all roof or ground mount, not suspended above parking lots.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

Cool. I’m in Utah and i’ve never seen parking lot solar panels, it’s all either roof mount or on the ground in a big field somewhere.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I largely agree. I think we should have car-free city centers (delivery truck and transit only) with parking garages at the edges near transit hubs. But instead of that, we subsidize driving and encourage a car-centric society.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Well, at a certain level of generation, adding more isn’t as valuable since the excess needs to be stored to offset the base need. So it makes absolute sense for the compensation to drop as supply goes up.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

Wow, imagine being scared of a rainbow flag…

Screw those people.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Nah, obviously a TempleOS user.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I find Chris Titus generally annoying, but his script looks awesome. Definitely try it out.

Furniture that needs to be bolted to the walls

I never bolt mine to my walls, and it’s fine.

Ikea ‘wood’

Yeah, I’m not a fan of their particle board or whatever, but they seem to have designed around it well given that my furniture has held up well. It’s cheaper than the furniture store stuff, and I hate the sales tactics they use at the local furniture stores, so it’s a win-win for me.

We’ll probably get some “nice” furniture once my kids are done dumping soda and whatnot all over our stuff, but my IKEA stuff has held up way better than I expected.

lulz

Don’t overthink it.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, that’s what I do.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Honestly, the live traffic information is pretty bad in my area anyway. It’ll say a road has high traffic or an accident long after the traffic has cleared, or it’ll say it’s clear when it’s clearly not.

So if that’s your hangup, try going without it for a week or two and see if it really impacts you.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, both are difficult. But you can at least use maps anonymously if you do it from a separate profile, which can help a little.

But just knock one out at a time and eventually it won’t seem as hard to switch to a competitor.
