- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 3 days ago:
4 million households in Australia have solar panels.
They are great value.
- Comment on New Israel FM says Palestinian state not 'realistic' 1 week ago:
Israel was never interested in a Palestinian state.
You can’t ethnically cleanse people and build Jewish settlements while proclaiming you want peace.
- Comment on China's push for more babies as demographic crisis deepens lacks real incentives, analysts say 1 week ago:
All these solutions (tax breaks, etc.) don’t appear to fix the more fundamental problem of it is too expensive to have a kid, work / life balance does not allow it and homes are too expensive.
- Comment on Israel preparing for a limited ground operation in Lebanon: media report 1 month ago:
Simply stopping the supply of weapons would stop the war overnight.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 1 month ago:
Never saw that but that is hilarious.
- Comment on US sanctions Israeli spyware firm Intellexa, citing 'reckless' threat to national security 2 months ago:
What is not discussed in the West is all the spyware that Israeli companies are selling to authoritarian countries.

Of course not.
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 6 months ago:
These companies don’t realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.
They will just go to their own spaces.
I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.
- Comment on Count Binface Celebrates beating Britain First 6 months ago:
Should I have posted this in /c/worldnews?

- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 6 months ago:
For shareholders, he has increased the share price and dividends.
It seems he has done this via Boeing route of management, short term gain for long term decline.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
Per month.
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 6 months ago:
I still visit smaller subreddits when looking up technical fixes (like unraid) but I no longer post and got rid of all my old posts.
Hopefully as Lemmy grows, I can leave that shithole for good.
- Comment on Forgejo v7.0 is now available 6 months ago:
What is this?

This is a pretty powerful build.
You running VMs on this?

Remember the beheaded babies?
- Comment on It was in self-defence 🙃 9 months ago:
“We haven’t had the ability to investigate [the allegations] ourselves. But they are highly, highly credible,” Blinken said during a press conference
This sounds like something The Onion would have written.
- Comment on Reddit exodus - Using Lemmy from my existing Mastodon 9 months ago:
I don’t get the number of people bitching in the comments here.
Anything that potentially grows Mastodon and Lemmy is good.

I miss that old internet.

- Comment on What happened to the flat earthers who demonstrated that the earth is round in the netfilx documentary ? 1 year ago:
The village should not change for the village idiot.
- Comment on About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off 1 year ago:
The current system is because it has incentives for short term profiteering over steady long term profits.
There could be tax reforms to more tax capital gains for stocks held for short periods of time and discounts for stocks sold after longer periods.
This wouldn’t be a magic fix but a good first step.
- Comment on Any free ***beginer*** resources? 1 year ago:
Matrix server?
- Comment on Can we create a new Internet ? 1 year ago:
Hell yes.
- Comment on Can we create a new Internet ? 1 year ago:
This looks fucking awesome.
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 1 year ago:
I still visit a few small subreddits for answers (for example, /r/unraid) but not made a single post since reddit effectively rid of most third party apps.
Once Lemmy (or anywhere else) can cover the smaller subreddits I got to for questions I look up, that will be 100% the end for me.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I remember when Valve and Steam was the great enemy in the early 2000s.
Everyone hated how buggy it was and needing it to play Counterstrike.
- Comment on Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company 1 year ago:
Interest rates went up and the flood of money from investors went down.
Investors are probably demanding a return on their massive amounts of speculative investing in the tech industry.
- Comment on Texas power prices soar 20,000% as brutal heat wave sets off emergency 1 year ago:
Texas talks a lot of shit for a state that can’t keep the lights on.
