It's lemmy.ml. They're always like this.

I'm probably doing solar in spring, and I'm paying 20 cents per kwh. It's about a 13 year breakeven time, but that works for my circumstances. I plan to be here for awhile, my roof faces the right way, and it's a reasonable diversification of investment.

I'll still have some dependence on the grid, especially in winter. Might pull from the grid in some early morning hours, but net metering credits should pay for that.

I consider the rising price of electricity and the capital gains from an index funds roughly a wash. It's not, but I also don't want 100% of my investments in the stock market, and it's nice to do something responsible for the world.

So make sure to do your whole installation in one year. You only get to claim the 30% federal tax credit once. So don't go small with a plan to go bigger later. I couldn't do this without the federal credit.

Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore's Law.

Well, this one is real

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

He doesn't. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he's not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.

I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.

The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.

The effect was that Android got "Find My" about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won't be compatible. But isn't Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.

Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn't matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.

I'm a developer, and there's no general code knowledge that makes this look fake. Json is pretty standard. Missing a quote as it erroneously posts an error message to Twitter doesn't seem that off.

If you're more familiar with ChatGPT, maybe you can find issues. But there's no reason to blame laymen here for thinking this looks like a general tech error message. It does.

 

The new spec ... allows manufacturers to connect devices directly to the internet.

Enshittification comes for all.
