Sir/ma’am, you win the best comment I’ve seen today, congrats

You do one up front payment and it saves so much money long term, so many people are against that concept

It’s honestly not bad, definitely the most mature fediverse service

• Why should I return my cart? Someone else will come get it.
• Why should I drive a smaller more fuel efficient vehicle? Others pollute more than me

There are a thousand decisions like this.

You have to decide where your ethics are. You’re right, they’ll keep making them. It doesn’t matter what others do, it’s what you choose to do that defines you. Are you okay with taking a single use plastic bag and letting it sit in the landfill for thousands of years (or in the ocean) so you can have the convenience of not carrying a fabric bag in? Are you okay with a minimum wage worker collecting your cart so you wouldn’t have to take the 20 seconds to push it into a corral?

These are questions you can’t ask the internet, it’s your personal morals. I know where my morals are. Everyone else can be who they are, but I am the only one who has to live with my decisions.

If we give up our dental plan… I’ll have to pay for Lisa’s braces!

Mmmm wood glue

Agreed, this is my go to response to everyone, (seriously there’s like a post a week about this same thing) asking it. Sounds like the perfect place to spread whatever garbage you want is the server you set up and pay for yourself, accepting all personal liability for. Go all cowboy with it!

I honestly can’t agree with you more

Seriously is there a class I can take, because it’s like I’m speaking an alternate language at work and no one there understands what I’m saying

The one positive from that outcome is that it’ll be very complicated to sort them out, and at the very least, I’m all for making data broker’s jobs harder

If you own your home, you can drastically reduce your carbon.

• installing solar to take energy off the grid
• install a heat pump to generate heat and cool off of electricity
  • even if your grid is pure coal, this is still more efficient than burning your own gas
  • you can keep a gas furnace as a backup, look up “dual-fuel” systems
• take transit whenever possible
• if you are in a car dependent area, look into e-bikes and EVs. Even replacing just your commuter car can have huge impacts, you don’t have to replace them all.

Could try it out, for a migration this size I’d recommend testing it a bit. Try replying to this post via pixelfed

That’s perfect for them. Go green and make all of their electricity from solar and renewables, then sell the oil to the third world oil dependent countries

Pixelfed won’t launch groups anytime soon unfortunately, I’ve followed closely and it seems it’ll be out about the same time as Tesla’s full self driving.

I think the best way would be choose yourself piefed or Lemmy, and then you offer mastodon or pixelfed as places for your users to join and subscribe. So it’s a little more natural to them.

While your goal is noble, reality is that I would expect a very small percentage of people to migrate. Less than one maybe even. I think that even a few hundred more people joining the fediverse here is a great idea, but I don’t want you to be discouraged when it doesn’t turn out the way you hope. People love their platforms. (I also just read your last paragraph after writing this, my bad, glad you’re in the right headspace :)

Agree with this guy. If you like, I’ve done the tech job hunt too many times now, feel free to DM me your linked in and I’d be happy to give impressions on it

They probably will, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be shamed for parking in the middle of the walk

Worked cashier during that time. People are some of the dumbest people

That’s what I thought was happening, There’re no other system things that need to do?

Agreed. Needs to be a required mount in fstab. System won’t even start then if the mount fails, docker always has access

This used to be true, but it’s out of date now. China, like it or not idk, is outpacing us, and is turning off more coal by the day.

The predictable result of all that new renewable energy is that emissions in China declined slightly in the first four months of 2025. No other industrialized country saw similar reductions. “China now leads the 4th Industrial Revolution, making huge strides in electrification, renewable energy, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and the Internet of Things. And, just as oil and gas drive the petrostates of the Arab world [and most other countries as well], clean energy technologies are powering China’s growth,” says OilPrice.com.
