TWeaK , to Political Memes in This goes out to my homies on the .ml instances!

You don't need a lemmy viewer or app anymore, lemmy itself lets you block instances entirely now.

Yes lemm.ee is still federated with hexbear, which is frankly fine by me (at least ever since blocking instances was introduced).

It's reassuring that most people have forgotten about hexbear.

TWeaK , to Lefty Memes in It's a grocery chain in Canada and this is marvelous.

Everyone should go the day before, they'll see it coming on the 12th.

TWeaK , to politics in Kristi Noem killed her pet dog, "Cricket," after the animal misbehaved on a hunting trip, she says

and that the animal [dog] later attacked and killed a neighbor's chickens.

Killing the neighbour's pets is a little bit more than misbehaving. That's the sort of thing dogs get put down for.

Going on to kill the goat the same day shows that she's evil, possibly even psychopathic. And then she admits that she's not that good of a politician, as well as a bad shot.

TWeaK , to Fediverse in EU : Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.

The question hasn't been legally tested, it's no more certain now than it was before.

While it might be the case that the EU could come down on a user's main instance for not deleting everywhere, really it's no different to anywhere else - any app that uses an API or even just a simple scraper can get comments that a user posts, so as with those it could also simply fall to the user to go around each and every instance and request deletion. Arguably, the Fediverse is better than this because it does include a facility for deleting things from a host instance - the only issue is that the other instance might not necessarily follow that (as instances don't necessarily run pure lemmy code, in fact they could run anything).

TWeaK , to politics in Trump Lawyer Says Having Political Rival Killed Could Constitute 'Official' Presidential Act

Or, they could do one assassination and then step down, thereby dodging any impeachment and being immune to any further litigation.

Is the President also in charge of the Secret Service?

TWeaK , to politics in Trump Lawyer Says Having Political Rival Killed Could Constitute 'Official' Presidential Act

The best one is that he argues only the senate/congress can rule he's broken the law, and only while he's president. So in his world he could assassinate someone, leave the presidency and then get away Scott free.

TWeaK , (edited ) to Green Energy in Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power

Yes I'm aware of water storage, and even quite fond of it, but it's very dependent on geography (as you need a very large body of water so you can't really just use a water tower) and also incredibly expensive. There are generally more effective and profitable uses for land.

Meanwhile BESS is tiny, something like 30MW per acre.

Storing energy as hydrogen is a fool's errand, in fact many of the new use cases for hydrogen are snake oil touted by people looking to sell more hydrogen. Even ignoring the fact that hydrogen leaks through and embrittles any container it's stored in (or that it explodes violently), converting hydrogen to electricity only leaves you about 70% of the energy you put in.

They keep it in line by curtailing or switching off generation. The generator typically still gets paid as if it were generating whatever it has available, which is perhaps an issue, but the total generation is reduced to meet the demand.

This is why there is negative pricing, it's cheaper to sell electricity in the negative than to pay a generator to be offline.

They can't direct excess generation to batteries if the batteries aren't there yet. They're being installed, but the overall capacity is still relatively low. Transferring it to other grids also has limits, and in particular if there's an excess of solar in one region the neighbouring regions also probably have an excess, so there really is no other option but to curtail.

TWeaK , to Science Memes in Brb

I don't think so, it also includes at least 4 trackers.

TWeaK , to Science Memes in Brb

WhoBIRD has been working well for me. Doesn't have the visual ID stuff that Merlin has, but it's FOSS and identifies by sound, based on location and time of year.

Granted, I don't know enough to know when it's wrong, and I bet it's not great for identifying rare birds, but it's fun.

TWeaK , to politics in Toobin: Trump social media post ‘clearly’ violated gag order

Put him in jail already.

TWeaK , to A Boring Dystopia in "Yeah, but what if we used AI?"

That is not the case for all HOA’s. For some, they have gated communities.

Yes, but they still allow mail deliveries and visitors in some form or another.

After all, they aren’t building these amenities for everyone to use, just residents who either own property or are leasing property in a way that is approved by the HOA.

Yes, but there are other ways to manage that then setting up an HOA which can be expanded well beyond the management of that communal property.

You only have to look and see how other countries do it to see that HOA's are uniquely an American problem, one that has no justification in being as bad as it is.
