You’re ok for now. It’s just a consultation, so every chance nothing actually pleasing will happen.
- Comment on Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation 6 days ago:
Maybe because these petition have never (as far as I know) achieved anything?
- Comment on Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters) 4 weeks ago:
Voyager on iOS has keyword filters
- Comment on Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty? 4 weeks ago:
Anecdotal of course, but while looking to downsize, we have seen many houses empty for 6+ months due to probate delays, and houses I would not buy for a pound due to the amount of work needed. So not sure how meaningful these stats are.

- Comment on What is Meshtastic? - Full Guide on How To Get Started 3 months ago:
Agreed, it is totally subjective. For me, 5 posts in quick succession, all linking to the same website, is spammy, and i will downvote it. Interesting technology, but one post with a link is enough for me. But i respect anyone’s right to disagree and upvote the posts.
- Comment on What is Meshtastic? - Full Guide on How To Get Started 3 months ago:
It is technology, yes. It’s new, a bit niche, but i would be fine with a (cross) post explaining what it is. But there have been several posts from OP on this.

Which may result in them opting out of paying into a private pension.

- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 3 months ago:
Being up to date is the entire point
No, it isn’t. The point is to keep systems safe and operational. Blindly rolling out untested updates is not a good strategy for that. I have seen entire systems shut down due to false alerts from updated antivirus software. Luckily only test environments, before these updates were rolled out to production. It does not take much to test updates like this before rolling them out to your entire organisation.

Fair enough.
- Comment on Water bills set to rise by between X and X 4 months ago:
Downvoted for the shit title. Article headline says £19 a year. £94 over a random 5 year period, may as well say it goes up by £1880 per century… That said, it’s another shitty case of socialise the losses caused by mismanagement.
- Comment on Russia is studying an intact U.S. ATACMS missile guidance system, says RIA 4 months ago:
I like the sentiment of that statement, but are there any expert opinions on the impact? Even if they cannot replicate the tech, could they learn how to interfere with the targeting abilities of these rockets?

- Comment on Looking to federalize a social media site I made. I'd give everyone a version with full content moderation tools, and operational trade secrets for server sizing/scaling. 4 months ago:
You’re promoting your closed source, non activitypub platform on Lemmy. Good luck with that, I’ll give it a free, federated downvote.
- Comment on Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 4 months ago:
I’m not saying it can’t be done. But a larger heat pump and replacing all radiators drives up the cost, there is not always space for a bigger radiator, (and water tank), and while higher flow temperatures are possible, it tend to reduce efficiency. Sometimes it’s just not worth the investment, not helped by the big gap between gas and electricity prices in the UK

Maybe it’s me, but that post title just hurts my brain.
- Comment on Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 4 months ago:
Something to do with physics. It’s not just about the heat output from a gas boiler vs heat pump. It’s the output from the radiator to the room that matters. For the same output, a gas boiler heats the water to a higher temperature than a heat pump. Which means a radiator gives out more heat to the room. As an extreme example, if it is freezing outside and the heat pump produces a lot of water at 15c, it may have a high thermal output but still wont keep your room warm. If it produces water at 30c, the radiator will transfer some heat to the room, but unless the radiator is very big or the room is well insulated, probably not enough.
- Comment on Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 4 months ago:
Link me to a heat pump that produces water for central heating at 70C or more. Typically, flow temperature is closer 40C, which won’t heat the average house unless you dramatically increase the size and/or number of radiators. Which is expensive and not always feasible.
- Comment on Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 4 months ago:
Heat pumps are great when the house is designed for it. Average uk house with shitty insulation and radiators that are unable to heat the room unless the water is really hot - it’s not going to work well.
- Comment on Waveshare's Latest Sensor Adds a Thermal Camera to Your Raspberry Pi — or Any Device with a USB Port - Hackster.io 6 months ago:
Agreed. And the electronics community suggested above has 2 posts in the last six months. So not really a better place to post imho.

Old news.

So are these council officers now getting police level authority? Will we be legally required to give our name and address to these council officers? What could possibly go wrong if we delegate authority to fine and prosecute to council staff?
