Hell yeah it is

In my experience of switching from Chrome to Firefox in the last year thanks to Lemmy, I have to say that using FF for work comes with all sorts of performance issues.

Then again, my specific use case includes having ~10 windows open at ~20 tabs each, sometimes even more. Definitely pushing the limits of the browser lol

This sounds like a chatGPT post ngl

Doesn’t the first sentence in this post specifically not include “s”? So, not all letters are included?

Wikipedia gives the conventional pangram: “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.

Welcome to the fediverse!

The only games I tend to play these days are the ones that I don’t have to update before playing. Such a nuisance to be always online.

Interesting point about non-conventional cookie practices flagging “privacy-first” users as unique to spying parties. I’d imagine this line of thinking harmonizes with the herd mentality, where if you stand outside of the herd you’re more likely to be spotted and targeted. Makes you wonder what practices users could engage to actually help combat privacy invasion, and which might backfire

There’s energy use, then there’s water use. The water I use per dish goes down the more I load up the dishwasher. The less water I use per dish, the less wastewater I create.

I’d rather load it up fully than run it when it’s convenient. At that point, I might as well just wash by hand but

Dishwashers I can see. Load it up after dinner, then have it run at some point overnight. Could just start it before you go to bed though, so it’s a wash for me really

Good points. There are a variety of houses/buildings built during various periods of time according to various codes and standards, but if you’re within city limits (US/Canada) then your house was probably built after the 70s/80s and has decent insulation. If there is an issue with the central heating in that kind of home, I 100% agree that there’s an issue that you might want a GC to fix. If your house/building is old, or if landlords don’t want to fix shit (and complaints are too much of a hassle), then I can also see that space heating can be a reasonable bandaid: at least until you get out of that situation.

Condensation is something I also forgot. That’s important for you electrical system too. In my experience in electric distribution/collection, usually we’d want to keep termination points around 20/68, but thermostats could drop to as low as 10/50 before kicking in. Certainly keeping a house colder than 10/50 is a bad idea, but between that and normal 20/68 I’d think would be fine. You also have the risk though that your thermostat is a single point of measurement for the system. Other parts of a house might be cooler/warmer, so I’d agree with the advice to keeping your house warmer than 15/59, unless it supports multi-unit dwellings.

Good convo, cheers

It’s not inefficient if it makes you feel warm. Often you don’t really need to warm everything in a house to be comfortable. It might make sense to do so in a situation when electricity goes out/grid is unreliable and you don’t have a thermal battery to ride on for a few hours, or you want to keep your water pipes warm enough so they don’t freeze.

But I know a lot of people who choose to forego so much heating, keeping their space to like <15/59, and have a heated blanket or space heater/fireplace entertainment center.

Feel like this works best in a shared living situation though, like an apartment or town home. For detached situations, maybe it does make sense to keep things relatively warm in case of emergencies.

So fucking stupid, we can’t wait for corporations to fix our systems. It’s one thing to allow rezoning so that such a project can be built and then offer the project/bid it out to someone like Musk to build, but it’s another thing to place all expectations in a corporation on for them to completely drop the ball.

Hope this gets put on the ballot again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, fuck me

Edit: ballot not ballet :)

I sort by TopDay and that seems to get me quite popular content, but Hot is also good for new stuff. Love the options for sorting on Connect for Lemmy

Definitely participator, but I have some ideas for contributing some day. I just don’t want to share other stuff that’s online, I’d rather share my research into a given topic and what conclusions I drew that might help people. I want to publish works here, not really other stuff on the internet.

Not sure if Lemmy is the place for that though, given how it’s a link aggregator. People posted their works on Reddit so I’d say it’s good enough to post stuff like that here

Holy shit, the head on this person must be as hard as Earth’s core got dyam

Retweet

Or should I say, Rethread

Instances work for me, as an engineer that verbage comes naturally

And then if you as a user don’t agree with how the admins are running the instance you’re a part of, you can make a new account under a different instance with admins that run that instance differently (i.e. by federating with corporate platforms).

Reddit, in my opinion, has become mainstream due to its ability to be searched via engines such as Google. I think Lemmy would need to have that same level of discoverability if the platform should take off. I’m not sure if doing this risks Google or others threatening the platform via “embrace, extend, and extinguish”, but perhaps Lemmy needs to be accompanied by a decentralized search engine itself that can browse the entire Fediverse. I’m new to the fediverse so I’m not sure if such a software exists, but clearly I think discoverability is paramount for giving new users a reason to see Lemmy and maybe stick around
