Inflation is not prices, it’s a rate of increase of prices. Even if Inflation is at 0%, prices won’t decrease, 0% mean prices stability. To see prices diminish, Inflation would need to be negative, in that case it’s depression.
I’m kind of in a strange boat right now where I’m really comfortable in Canada yet I can’t shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card,...
Still not enough content. I already feel the slow down in activities. I’m in a weird spot rn. I go back to reddit because there’s more interesting stuff to see, but the official apps is so bad, that I come back here. Also People here seems more intelligent on avg.
I like lemmy because there is no ads and no gold and premium stupid stuff like NFTs and 50$ awards. I liked the awards ideas ,but damn paying up to 100$ for digital emojis that everyone will forget in a day?
The big downside is the lack of embedded videos. Of course videos takes a lot of server power compared to text. But I hope we find a way to implement this in the future.
I think we should have a public board that shows the instance hardware spec and the finance. So we can set donations goals to upgrade servers or keep them afloat.
I work in a niche inside a niche. I deal with terabytes of storage, massive servers, a variety of storage tech, and I’ve been in interested in computers in general for… Around 40 years. (Yeah, I’m old.)...

What is the 2023 bottleneck ?
IMHO , it’s permanent storage . I remember in 2005 up to 2010, we all wanted the fastest CPU , more GHz , more cores ,etc. the industry gives us that . Then during the last decade , we all wanted a more powerful GPU, more core ,more memory ,more Mhz. We also craved faster internet connection ,now we have optical fiber with 3.5Gb/sec in home for 120$/month .(impossible to think in 2014)
Nowadays , I have the impression that permanent storage is lagging behind . With the new medias being in 8K, video games storing average 100Gb and what not, we regularly move around dozens of Gb, even as casual users .
Ça me fait toujours réfléchir, est-ce mieux de garder sa voiture à essence le plus longtemps possible sans la changer, ou aller vers l’auto électrique le plus rapidement possible?
le mieux est de se débarrasser des voitures purement et simplement . On a besoins de plus de vélo et de trottoirs sécuritaires . Savez vous ce qui est agréable , calme et sécuritaire pour construire une maison ? Pas une banlieue, mais une ville sans voiture . Les nord américains vont trouver toute les raisons du monde pour conserver leur voiture . Qu’est-ce qui coûte 10 fois moins à construire et entretenir ? Pistes cyclable et infrastructures pour piétons . Qu’est-ce qui est rapide et économique en voyages pour faire l’épicerie ? Une épicerie de quartier . Qu’est-ce qui est sécuritaire et rapide pour les enfant qui se rendent à l’école tout en développent un sens de l’indépendance ? Une école de quartier à 15 minutes de marche . Qu’est-ce qui coûte rien à entretenir ? Un vélo. Qu’est-ce qui risque le moins de te tuer quand t’es soûl ? Un vélo . Qu’est-ce qui pollue le moins ? yep
Nos villes et vie et identitées ont été construite autour et pour la voiture . Et ça c’est un choix politique et c’est dû à des décennies de propagande et de lobbying .
C’est dur de faire changer le monde d’idée parce que pour beaucoup ,leur char c’est leur identité. C’est même un rite de passage à l’âge adulte . Et c’est bien normal , parce que si tu n’a pas de voiture , tu est un citoyen de seconde zone , littéralement . C’est plus dure de participer dans la société professionnellement , électoralement, socialement , ou juste pour magasiner . C’est agiste, ableist et un test de pauvreté.
I will not sit at desk to read . Smartphone are just way better for this kind of task . Most people access the internet with a smartphone ,not a PC tower.
once you have a a phone , why pay 300$ for a tablet ? I was thinking to buy a tablet because I spend an outrageous amount of time reading stuff on the internet . I looked at low-end tablet and the screen quality was terrible . I look at a S7 FE tablet ,700$, way better , but should I spend 700$ for 3 inch bigger screen ? Tablet on the toilet? I don’t think so. Tablet in my shower shelves , no. Tablet in my bed,maybe , but just while sitting … What about listening to podcasts … My phone do it and fit in my pocket , my bicycle , my car and my jogging fanny bag. So the tablet would be used only while I’m the couch or laying in my bed… but at this point I have a laptop . I have a 42 inch tv connected to my pc tower ,and a laptop that I barely use. Since I’m sitting all day long at my job. I prefer to lay down on my sofa at night ,not sit again behind a monitor on an office chair .

on r/science , some news about homosexuality suffering or something and republicans not understanding something .
I’m genuinely leftist.
I make an obviously sarcastic comment. “That’s because they’re gay!”
no /s
Get banned from r/science for that. I ask the mod why ? it was obviously sarcastic and I was implying that was what right wing would say because they are stupid . He says, he shouldn’t have to guess if something is sarcastic . I tell him he got no sense of irony and 2nd degree . An hour later ,I’m permabanned for hate speech or something .
Yeah . Reddit is a circle jerk full of power tripping mods. I have seen many worse offense without any bans.
