You know what else would be awesome? "Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login"

It would be super useful for when I'm alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.

My sister overcools her house so she doesn't have to run the AC at night (but she lives somewhere hot enough for that to matter - I can just open windows most nights).

I charge my electric car on it (which I guess is stacking a bunch of batteries). I'll also cook during that time to use the energy on that.

No, I can't defend a strawman you're posing. But I don't have to. I only have to defend my own positions, which are:

  1. Under the current system in the US, voting third party is at best ineffective, but often actively harmful.
  2. People who advocate for people on the left voting third-party are either ignorant of the fact that said actions make a fascist takeover of the US more likely or, worse yet, aware of that fact. Either way, their actions are tantamount to advocating for fascism, whether they're an intentional bad actor or not.

Your comment above implies that by supporting people's right to vote, I give up my right to advocate for how they should vote, which is part of where the strawman comes from. I can defend their right to vote whilst also saying that voting certain ways are stupid or harmful. I never have to say "good on ya for making a terrible decision."

Already ahead of you on that as an active member of my state's ranked choice voting initiative.

The vote is necessary, but not sufficient. My vote is a short term strategy for harm reduction. Working towards actual electoral reform is my long term strategy for fixing things.

Harm reduction. The two options with a non-zero chance of winning are the two major parties. Voting third-party or not voting is essentially splitting your vote between those two major parties. So in the short term, you vote for the harm reduction option while you work to get better options in the long term.

It really depends what one's doing, also. For many things, including many games, 30fps is fine for me. But I need at least 60fps for mousing. Beyond that though I don't notice the mouse getting smoother above 60fps, but some games I do have a better experience at 120fps. And I'm absolutely sold on 500+ fps for simulating paper.

 

This is great to see! We need more green energy all over, and rooftop solar is one of the easiest places to do it.

I think this is a net positive, but I really wish this had more housing and less surface parking. I'd love to see the city start requiring that new developments have most of their parking underground.

Credit for the picture goes to Ypsi's own BCB, who isn't on Lemmy (yet)!

 

Spot the deep cuts.

Yeah, I'm aware of Linkerbaan and their repeated violations of lemmy.world sitewide rules. I just don't understand why other people are in such agreement.

I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.

This is great! The site, despite being right near downtown, has been blighted and basically abandoned for over a decade.

 

Personally I think this is a great thing! I've been carrying narcan kits in my car and on my bike for years now. Fortunately I've never had a need to use one, but that also means I now have an expired narcan kit I need to discard.
