I'm intrigued. What about electricity?
I have some bad news on that front..
Shit indeed. The thing that was going to supplement renewable energy to stave off climate change becoming less and less effective and safe because of climate change is one of the cruelest cases of tragic irony ever!
In Finland our prices jumped up for a while but have since gone back to normal. At least insofar as it's not a news topic anymore.
Last year I could have bought a new PS5 every month for the cost of electricity. Things have settled now but it's still expensive - I switched a lot of my personal infra to the cloud and Intel NUCs to cut down the cost 😭
IMO If people want to post hard political material on a mainstream meme community, I wish they would make a minimum effort to make it relatable to those outside of the various originator echo chamber communities.
The constant "US Bad" "China Bad" and adjacent topics targeting a specific political audience gets annoying with how repetitive it is - if it's not politics related to my region OR suggesting ways I can improve things, I could not honestly give a bigger dump
