Then go and “blow shit up” - because right now you’re only blowing your ego out of proportion.
Going rough with commenters on the Internet is not struggle, it’s a parody.
- Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric 1 week ago:
The Internet is now a mess of people screaming at each other - and so, did anything change for the better?
Conservative autocrats everywhere, environmental policy going to shitter - the progress we’ve made is reversing.
So, when you look in the mirror, ask yourself - do you really make the change? Or do you just sit and scream, much like everyone else?
- Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric 1 week ago:
Maybe it’s time to realize insults won’t do anything to change someone’s opinion, while tanking the civility of a discussion.
Firmly with the mod on this one.
- Comment on World's largest pumped storage power plant fully operational in China 1 week ago:
Quite impressive!
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 2 weeks ago:
I feel like it’s a double-edged sword.
For as long as there are people willing to tip more, the company can get away spending less and shifting it onto customers.
As a result, workers get highly unpredictable and generaly low income and customers feel guilty for leaving low tips. Everybody but the company loses.

Thanks for provided context!
I’ll look into the data.
- Comment on flouride 1 month ago:
The question to me is - do we even have to fluoridate water and is this really the best approach?
For example, most European countries do not commonly use fluoride in their water supply, and everyone’s just fine! No extra cavities, no special health risks. People commonly drink tap water and do not care about potential for any adverse effects, because it’s just that - clean water. And for any teeth-related issues, you already have your toothpaste providing more than enough fluorine.
- Comment on You did it. You broken the conditioning. 1 month ago:
I never took my question seriously, and I would certainly pick the same. In the original dilemma, I would pull the lever.
- Comment on You did it. You broken the conditioning. 1 month ago:
You fool.
Now you expanded the problem; is it moral to kill a person responsible for murder, to make a choice to end someone’s life?
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 1 month ago:
Uh-huh, and plenty of NAS devices had 2,5Gbe even those 6 years ago.
- Comment on Examination you say? What kind? 1 month ago:
As a Chinese learner, it’s just vaginal examination to me
For some reason though whatever translating software there was it picked a swear option
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 1 month ago:
I see! :)
The ports on most Synology devices are the weak spot indeed.

Never would have thought about racism, honestly :D
But such a care is something to admire
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
Sure, that’s what I threw in the “politically advantageous” bucket to not expand on it too much
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
So, in your mind this is a hidden lobbyist who tries to abuse “we destroyed local production” argument to make sure Europe slows down solar rollout and remains dependent on fossil for longer?
Not only is this too much of an effort to come from this angle, it’s also not a large platform to speak to.
Seeing an astroturfer in every person that has another angle on the issue is just plain paranoid, and at the same time makes you behave like an asshole towards others. This sort of behavior is what ruined many other platforms, with everyone yelling out of their echo chambers - angry, violent and utterly unproductive.
Algorithms have raised a generation of people doing what best engages them - shitting on each other. And when an alternative like Lemmy appears, where no algorithm is pushing anyone, people make the same mistakes. I urge you to break this chain, with compassion and care.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
Do not assume bad faith over anything you disagree with.
While I disagree with the original statement, hostility never changed anyone’s mind.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
I see where you’re coming with that, and in principle, some of the points you make I would clearly share under different circumstances.
But to me, even with the side effects, rapid rollout of green tech (even if its production is not kept to the best standard) beats slow incremental growth with good standards in place, given the urgency with which world requires it. After all, even poorly produced Chinese options very much do offset their footprint compared to the alternatives.
There are some points for concern, such as the use of lithium ion batteries, for example, but Chinese companies also think ahead and implement alternative options - in case of batteries, they increasingly work with sodium-ion instead.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
It is good, period.
Local manufacturing is politically advantageous and may employ some people at the same time, but that’s where benefits end.
Europe didn’t reject Chinese face masks during COVID-19, and Europe shouldn’t reject Chinese solar during a climate emergency.
Solve that first, and political struggles later.

Interesting! May I ask why you use USB port on Synology for Ethernet connection instead of ports on the back? Are they 1gbit?
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
As far as I can tell, this is a character from The Handmaid’s Tale series.
Based on a respective book, it tells about a dystopian society in which women are put to serve as nothing but baby machines, against their will.

True!
- Comment on China powers up the world's largest open-sea offshore solar farm 2 months ago:
Makes sense. But does it really negate the elevated construction costs? I must assume such a station is significantly more expensive to build
- Comment on STEAL HIS LOOK 2 months ago:
As a microbiologist, I get to work with such freezers from time to time - they, too, get used for long-term storage. Technically, at around +4°C most organisms (but not all) put their activity to a halt, which is why your fridge is set at that, and at around -18°C just about everything stops any processes (thereby, freezer temperature), but the thing is, freezing at -18°C leads to the formation of relatively large ice crystals, which causes many cells to rip and die, which is perfectly fine if you want to preserve food, but not optimal if you want to store cells themselves. If you freeze at -80°C and lower, smaller ice particles end up not damaging the organisms so much, and they can later be restored. However, such fridges are expensive and draw, like, A LOT of power, and storing much stuff under such conditions gets costly.
Nowhere near as costly as the offerings are, though.
- Comment on China powers up the world's largest open-sea offshore solar farm 2 months ago:
Why building solar farm offshore?
I understand why wind farms are built that way, but solar?
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 2 months ago:
In theory - sure. In practice - all countries in the world have to agree to raise taxes, even though individually they are better off betraying this agreement and lowering them, thereby attracting the rich and ending up with more, not less, money.
And if all countries agree to tax the rich the way they should, we might as well go and build socialism everywhere, because not having everyone onboard is a main issue there too.
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 2 months ago:
As someone born in 2000, I’ve personally seen it and I think most people around me did. Maybe someone didn’t, though.

Modding a niche Lemmy community is a breeze, honestly
Not much is happening, but not many troublemakers, either. Modding is pretty much zero effort.

In case you’re wondering, yes.
