  • I’m extremely grateful for all the work Ruud and his team has done to make Lemmy.world possible but I see the limitations in it that I didn’t understand 9 months ago when I started. My communities are all pretty small and I guess I can just start over but I wish there was a way to migrate my comm to a new instance with my subscriber lists and posts so that I can move my sillyness to a small well maintained instance



  • I agree with you that the real reason for it is EEE but their justification for it is that for enterprise and corporate customers, the only ones they care about, they can’t control Firefox in the same was as they can Edge or Chrome with the Microsoft Account add in which allows the MDM agents like InTune to apply DRM. Their primary concern (so they claim) is the enterprise administrators ability to control the computer, provide settings, configure defender xdr security and all the other bs products they sell.



  • Just because I love numbers

    I live in a desert climate and I have an all electric two bedroom, two bathroom, attached home. The unit has an area of 109sqm. Over the course of the year my monthly average is 622 kWh. This includes times where I run the roof-mounted air conditioning unit all day and its 46C outside. It actually becomes hotter when the sun goes down before getting cooler again because the ground absorbs heat during the day and it radiates back out to space at night passing through the city. I only use air conditioning for 4.5 months a year, the rest of the time I open the windows and use fans.

    2022 Average: 622.6667 kWh or 20.755

    2022 Air conditioning months average (June - September): 828 kWh or 27.625 daily

    2022 Non air conditioning months average (including May which is partial): 519.625 kWh or 17.320 daily

    The daily numbers lose some fidelity because I’m lazy and divided the averages by 30.

    This is my total energy usage including my hot water heater, two computers, TV, electric stove, often used oven, lighting, fans, and various small appliances. You figure that the rough average air conditioning energy usage is the difference between the daily averages or 10.304 kWh per day and 309 kWh per month

    Considering urban development where I live is nearly water neutral and I have a mix of solar power and natural gas generation, it is funny to me because people in northern parts of my country tell me about how where I live must be somehow more unsustainable than where they do. My region also grows a significant portion (read 90% of the total) leafy green vegetables they eat year round.
