  • i comfort myself with the knowledge that most worlds are totally dead

    zero wildlife is the normal state of things

    extinction is only sad to the survivors, and soon enough there will be none left to mourn

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • Just like Lemmy more.

    Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.

    I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.

  • Why is the public domain (in terms of intellectual property) useful?

  • IP law itself is a band-aid over capitalism's disincentivizing of humanity's innate tendency toward ingenuity, innovation, and iteration

    public domain is the default - its IP law and the artificial scarcity it creates which is useful to the capitalists

  • A quick dive down a wiki hole has left me with the impression that this guy's contemporary duck-size proto-horses had large canine teeth.

    I don't like my odds either way.

  • Opinion | I held three town halls in GOP districts. I heard one question over and over.

  • Supporting their constituents in the class war is presented as an afterthought, as usual from the corporate Democrats, and this congresscritters proposal is just the standard right-wing, milquetoast, failed Democratic policy that got us into this mess.

    There are over 100 million people without a home in USA, and this guy thinks housing 10% of them will be sufficient. He won't even say a number when it comes to minimum wage. Three fifths of the proposal is just masturbatory lust for power.

  • The short answer is "no".

    The long answer is "noooooooooooooo."

    Taxes at the Federal level don't pay for goods or services. Creating new money is how the Feds pay for stuff.

    Federal taxes just delete money from target populations.

  • Here’s where you can still get a rebate on heat pumps and home efficiency | President Donald Trump has taken aim at green programs — but these states are forging ahead.

    Jump

  • Shutting down the Inflation Reduction Act smells like lobbying from the fracking industry. Everyone but natural gas merchants benefits. Taxpayers lower their energy bills. The Federal government becomes more energy secure. Electric utilities see their profit margins increase as the delta between Summer and Winter seasonal loads normalizes, allowing for enhanced optimization of real estate holdings related to having spare capacity on hand to cover load spikes (the extra capacity is a source of constant expense, but only occasionally runs & generates revenue).

    Even if the electricity used to run the heat pump comes from a gas burning generator, it will still use less gas compared to burning it in a furnace in someone's home. Heat pumps don't create heat, they just move it to and from the outdoors, so they're able to reach efficiencies over 500%. They're still over 100% efficiency even after accounting for the -40% hit taken at the electrical utility's gas generator and the -5% hit taken over the electrical transmission lines. Comparatively, the best furnaces are only 95% efficient.

  • And what's worse is that its unblockable spam apparently because its being posted with an admin account which seems to bypass user's blacklists.

    @admin@science.social perhaps consider using a different account for posting articles, and only using the admin account for doing admin stuff

  • I would say just put the content in the body of the post, but it looks like you're trying to make money off it so that might be counterproductive for your intentions.

    Maybe generate a summary that includes links to peer-reviewed sources, and use that as the post body. It needs to be a sales pitch - get readers interested and invested in the story enough to follow through with clicking the link to your blog.

    Just posing headlines and a link to a blog is, at a glace, indistinguishable from someone journaling their pipe dreams.

  • What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years?

  • Why does this still show up in my feed when I've got OP blocked? Is it because it was posted by an instance admin account?

    No offense OP, I'm just not interested in reading your blog.
