  • There is of course the supposed capitalistic reason of doing so, which is to make it more lucrative for others to build additional homes. Additional homes should in turn dampen the prices again. This however hasn't been panning out the last few decades, as the prices have kept inflating.

  • The moment when the street lights turn on at night [OC]
  • What a beautiful image! It reminds me of my childhood, when I used to play outside with my friends until the street lights turned on. We would ride our bikes, play hide and seek, or kick a ball around. Those were the days of innocence and joy.

  • This is Fine.
  • I mean, in many cases you could. In many places there aren't even laws against it. I'm personally of the opinion that we should treat animals similar to how we would treat humans, thus the translation for others to consider the same.

  • This is Fine.
  • I mean, is cannibalism really the worst problem here?

    Humans are omnivores and if the alternative is to throw unused human parts underground or cremate them, feeding them to new humans is at least not a waste.

  • Do we have a way to force all web pages to go to dark mode system based with Chrome?
  • Yes, Firefox would also be a great alternative. Chromium itself, on which kiwi is based, is a open source webbrowser supported by large corporations. As you were already using chrome, kiwi will bring you a more familiar experience.

    The underlying blink engine, which these browsers (chromium, kiwi, edge, opera, Samsung, etc) use, has a combined market share of over 70%(over 80% on desktop). This can be both a positive or a negative. For you the user, it ensures compatibility. Every website with any kind of active development, will run in your browser, as who would ignore over 70% of the market?

    Though while it is open source, having one engine this big, and being mostly backed by large corporations, will possibly bring issues similar to the internet explorer days of old. A stagnating non open standardized web. This makes our support for alternatives a possible necessity to ensure a open and free web.

    Firefox is a great alternative, though of course with its own quirks. Being on the smaller side, though rare, means website support isn't always there, so that would be something you'd have to be able to deal with. I would definitely try the browser yourself and see if it fits the purpose you seek.

  • Do we have a way to force all web pages to go to dark mode system based with Chrome?
  • Kiwi would be a possible alternative. It's a Chromium based webbrowser that supports dark mode websites natively. As if that wasn't enough it also supports extensions. You can simply install those from the Chromium webstore. So if its native dark mode implementation isn't to your liking, you could use one of your preferred extensions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser

  • The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On
  • Going by their estimate of 36.000 households and the Dutch average yearly household usage of 3.500KWh that would be 126.000 MWh per year. One turbine is rated for a continuous output of 16MW which assuming it runs continuously, would give you 16x24x365= 140.160 MWh in a year.

    I would assume they actually mean 36.000 households yearly assuming average weather conditions.

  • European electricity prices tumble into negative territory amid glut of green energy
  • For households it depends on your contract with the energy companies. There are certain contracts which let you pay a fixed fee on top of market prices, but you'll move with hour by hour fluctuations of the market prices. This might be interesting for those with smart homes who can schedule many of the more energy intensive appliances to run when prices are at expected daily lows. Or because you generally dont use much power in the expensive moments for your region.

    These contracts however also remove most of the protection you enjoy from price spikes due to technical failures in the grid, or errors in weather prediction for renewables.

  • Me now that the new lemmy clients can replace my reddit addiction
  • Lemmy.world is apparently rate limiting the wefwef.app domain. They are working on resolving it. In the meantime you can try the suggested solutions in their community https://lemmy.world/post/801298

    For example self hosting it or using other's publicly available versions of it like https://w.opnxng.com/ though you should always be cautious using other's instances.

  • Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads
  • I actually love how they have taken a level headed approach to this whole saga and have not let themselves get swept up in whatever the community at large is doing. They're looking at the issue with their own eyes and evaluate whether or not it is prevailent enough to take the big decision to defederate. If we start defederating from every instance for every infraction a single user on it makes, we will isolate ourselves into an echo chamber worse than most corporate social media. So bravo to the admins for looking into it as much as they have.

  • I don't see how Lemmy will fill the gap of Reddit - it's resulting in fragmentation
  • We still see their posts and can comment on them amongst ourselves. Though no one on beehaw or other instances will see our comments, not even their mods. So in a sense, unless lemmy.world can moderate these shadow copies themselves, these beehaw communities will be unmoderated hellscapes on this instance.
