Folks on the eastern side of the time zones wouldn’t be any more worse off with permanent ST than we already are. We already use ST in the winter when the effective daylight hours are shortest. Permanent DT would be a quality of life improvement for eastern edge of timezone folks in the winter at the expense of late sunrises for western edge of timezone people. Permanent ST I think is at least better than the switching in that it doesn’t make the short day hours any worse and gets rid of the clock change silliness.

Ah I guess I don’t have context into that side of Reddit but given reddits scale, is a huge number of bots 1% of traffic/posts? 5%, 25%? How bad was it from your experience?
It is nice though and often eye opening to read about a lot of the problems and ideas that people have that may not be mainstream. I feel like even when I disagree with posts in the fediverse, I’m learning a lot.
I think that the lemmy/kbin fediverse communities are honestly more of a bubble than Reddit is. To some extent Reddit has gone mainstream (critical mass) and so yes you get some bubbles from moderation but the averages for up/down votes probably more accurately (than fediverse anyway) reflect societies opinions. fediverse suffers from bubbles in a different way where it hasn’t reached critical mass and from what I can tell, marginalized groups have flocked to the fediverse more quickly than most and thus have outsized representation her. And that is reflected in the posts that make the front page on instances. At least on kbin judging from the posts that make front page one might assume half of the people out there are autistic, adhd, lgbtq+, Star Trek fans. Unless my understanding of current demographics is way off, those groups make up a much smaller sample of the overall population. Not saying this is a problem but from someone that doesn’t really fall into any marginalized groups, the opinions upvoted and popular on this site often do not align with what the general population (at least in the USA) tends to think and, perhaps unfortunately, also vote for.
What percentage of American households own at least 1 gun?
I just want to say that your vote for the federal office does matter even if you live in a non-competitive state. Some states allocate a percentage of their electoral votes rather than all or nothing but even if yours does not, voting still adds a data point that says I support this person instead of that person. There have been several times where a candidate has won the presidency without winning the most votes but it was always very close to 50%. If everybody that had a preference voted and the outcome was 55% this guy / 45% the other guy and the other guy won... that could be a real driver for change to the electoral college system.
Lol what a troll audio book.
Don’t have to patch the host at least… I think we have a 6 week sla for certain compliances to ensure we are patching our containers, code, and deps regularly.
And if I do it left?
If a basic Wordpress on aws (no load balancers or auto scaling) is all you need… it is super easy to run on aws. Like a few clicks easy. https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/projects/wordpress/

They provide the data with and without food/energy. Looks like as of Dec 23, including food and energy reduces cpi when compared against excluding it because energy prices have dropped.
