  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.

    If you're stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.

    That being said I've owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.

  • And we pay 10% of our income for the privilege.

    Jump

  • Speaking of "paying 10% for the privilege", one of the things irked me was my dad's insistence that tithes had to be monetary. Per him, volunteer work didn't count.

    I was roped into running the computer, or doing the sound, for all 5 services Saturday + Sunday, plus practice before hand. 16 hour commitment twice a month.

    My day job was only 20 hours/wk back then, so in terms of time, my volunteer work was ~30% of all my work. Yet my dad still insisted I payed 10% of the taxed cash I received...

    That was one of many "cuts" in my "death by 1000" for being religious.

  • Too damn high

    Jump

  • Two things:

    1. see if your power provider offers an "equal pay" plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.

    2. Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.

    Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.

    The one thing is that if you use more than you're paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don't get used to leaving all the lights on!

    On the flip side, if you use less, you'll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year's payments.

  • 1.8 Million Barrels of Oil a Day Avoided from Electric Vehicles

    Jump

  • Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it'll continue to grow rapidly.

  • This might be this earliest IASIP intro gag I've ever seen.

  • hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

    Jump

  • It's the an extension for Google Passwords? It's my password manager for all my devices.

    I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don't want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.

  • 15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone?

    Jump

  • My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!

    That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol

  • FCC moves ahead with Title II net neutrality rules in 3-2 party-line vote

    Jump

  • I might be mistaken then, but doesn't part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can't throttle unlimited plans?

  • I just replied this to another commenter, but that's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.

  • That's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.

    Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.

  • FCC moves ahead with Title II net neutrality rules in 3-2 party-line vote

    Jump

  • T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.

    I'm not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they're definitely more expensive. And I wouldn't be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.

    You need to opt out of the transition.

    Lemmy.world removes its rules against discrimination

    Jump

  • In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing "missing" is the definition of which qualities you shouldn't discriminate against. But that's now generalized into "groups of people".

    I still can't discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can't discriminate against "pineapple on pizza eaters".

  • What's your favorite Lemmy frontend/UI?

    Jump

  • Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.

  • What's your favorite Lemmy frontend/UI?

    Jump

  • I'm still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I'll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.

  • When a user is banned on one Lemmy federated instance, are they banned on all federated instances?

    Jump

  • As far as I understand;

    A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they're banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.

    There's nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.

  • Temporary (mid-term) closure for forest-fire not allowed?

    Jump

  • Not really tricky at all. Especially if they limit the expiration date to be within the gap of the current closure logic (min 3-6 months).

    Especially "especially" if they made the expiration date a new field, one that offline users could ignore, and navsoftware could use imperatively.

  • Temporary (mid-term) closure for forest-fire not allowed?

    Jump

  • Not too difficult, I imagine. Especially if it's a default field in the UI under Access.

    As for the companies making the nav software itself, I'm sure they'd love to implement temporary closures.

  • Temporary (mid-term) closure for forest-fire not allowed?

    Jump

  • Hmm, OSM is perhaps the biggest base for alternative navigational software. Seems like a huge design flaw.

    I'm obviously oblivious to the implementation difficulties, but it seems like it should be extremely simple to add something akin to a "temporarily closed until" field, so that uses can set and forget, and it'll resolve itself without a secondary edit.

    That way, offline users can ignore this field, and nav software must use it.
