I prefer cooking on gas (I’m old! so what!), yes I know induction has become a lot better lately. But I renovated my kitchen (myself) about 5 years ago, so nothing is changing in there. My BBQ will also stay gas, but I might switch back to LPG bottles from the servo instead of natural gas.

My gas hot water is where the most of that bill comes from (our country has limited “fees” unlike other countries, and they have to detail all of them, and they get railed if they are bullshit). I am already getting quotes for instant on, electric hot water.

For 6 months of the year my Solar Panels absolutely rock, providing 30A 240V during the day, which means my entire home is grid free powered, even with my reverse cycle AC on full blast during Australia’s hottest times.

Solar Panels literally dropped my monthly electricity bill from $600+ per month, to $250 per month (for 6 months) the other 6 months are not so dramatic, but still they help.

We are sick of the arseholes that are running the power companies, and we are sick of the outrageous prices they are charging for electricity.

Simple as that.

10 years ago, my gas bill was $80 a month. Today (and nothing has changed) it is almost $300 a month. Same shit has happened with Electricity and water. They are fucking scum.

They can go fuck themselves. If there was a free version of gas like electricity, I would install it in an instant. (I only use gas for kitchen hob, my BBQ outside - both of which get fuck all use, and my hot water which only really gets used when I wash my balls in the morning.) 300% price hike in 10 years… They can all suck my balls,

So reading all the comments here:

X is far Right, conservatives - bad.

Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.

You both sound as bad as each other.

Opera GX has promised to keep MV2 in their code. So I’ll just keep using that until I see something different. The other thing is that Opera GX has built in ad-blocker which is pretty much on par with third parties.

Firefox is not the “great browser” you think it is. It has had its fair share of fuckups and failures over the years, like laxed security certificate updates leaving users in limbo.

Google didn’t come and just out do Firefox. It was the other way around, firefox fucked themselves with poor management and failure after failure, and people left. Chrome was the new boy in town, and that is why firefox is where it is today.

Also, I would never use firefox, if I do need an alternative browser renderer, I use WATERFOX which is far more privacy compliant than firefix ever has been.

Well apparently you don’t understand it either. My point is that there are opposing weather patterns that occur over larger periods you are unaware of.

It’s only you grasping to at insults to have your cringe whinge because someone doesn’t believe in your opinion.

Get bent.

You are also sharing disinformation as well. You say climate change, but you do not define it.

Many people are aware of El Nino / La Nina and that they cycle roughly 7 years. What most people don’t know, is that there are cycles that occur every 25 years, and more that are even longer than that.

Now consider when those cycles happen to coincide, there is an increased change until those cycles move back out of sync.

Yes there is climate change, but a large majority of it is out of yours or anyone else’s control.

To be fair, X didn’t “miss the deadline”.

They never gave a shit in the first place.

Quantum Computing is still climbing the slope from TT to the Peak of Inflated Expectations. There is still little to no major hype, as its still in “R&D/testing” it is slow, it is expensive (Very) limited due to all the surrounding tech required to make it work like cooling, containment etc…

Compare this to AI.

AI is at and heading down from the Peak towards the Trough of Disillusionment. It was easy (relatively) to implement, easy to evolve as how nVidia did, simply throw more silicon at it. The Hype was easy to generate because even while totally misinformed, media and other people out there thought they could easily sell it. Even though most of what they claimed was turd, it sounded amazing and a game changer even in the early stages, and businesses lapped it up. Now they are feeling the pain, and seeing that there are still major hurdles to get past.

Software as a Suspension.

If you must use Windows, download it legitimately from MS website. Use RUFUS to burn the ISO image to a USB. Remove the restrictions you hate.

Dual boot a Linux variant, and move over apps at your leisure, until you are no longer Win OS dependent.

May her shitshow of a legacy, that is the fucked up YT of today, riddled with ads and no downvotes, die next.

Cancer sucks, not wishing that on anyone, well except warmongering cunts and a few others ruining our lives and cultures.

“her”.

And there you have it.

Not sure why ARM is on your angry list. They are more than happy to sell rights to other manufacturers. As far as I can tell, they have not done anything wrong, yet.

Fuck firefox. Are you sheep just going to ignore all the shit they put you through, and didn’t even explain themselves?

Firefox is a shitshow, I don’t care “how good they are now”. If you don’t remember how bad they treated you circa 2012, then fuck off groupie wanker.

Firefox is where they are for a good reason, they cannot be trusted. Only wankers keep promoting them.

Reddit says “blablabla” . Reddit is just trying to stop its communistic website from losing money.

Reddit says “we will give you access” once you pay us and feather our pockets.

Fuck spez, what a cunt. Delete all your comments etc, and let the AI rot in retarded posts.

Wiki “Darkmode” which can seeming be bought by anyone with money, to remove content makes WIKI a total lie.

They do not deserve or will earn our money. They are scammers and cheaters.

HACK THE PLANET - FUCK THE LIARS.

One of the first things I did was remove OneDrive when I installed W11.

I have yet to see any of this new malarky, and I am not in the EU.

From a admin command prompt: winget uninstall Microsoft.OneDrive

If you have linked an account to OneDrive, I’d advise you unlink it first.

I hate this guy with a passion. He is not intelligent, but hell he sure likes to speak down to you like his shit doesn’t stink.

Speaking of dishwashers, this is the last thing you should be listening about from him, given the shitshow of a video he made which even had Bosch and other manufacturers contact him and tell him how incorrect he was.

This is not really a story, is it.

I worked for an Australian company, that was bought by an American company. Instantly we were required to do business as per American law, such as embargo’s. We lost many customers (businesses) that honestly had nothing to do with the actual reason for the embargos. For example Iran has an American embargo because of nuclear refinement, but we just wanted to sell “knives and forks” to them. Nope - they might use those forks in their refinement centrifuges… This is what happens (but also why embargos work).

Kaspersky is Russian owned, so the hacks were discovered by Russian [whitehat] hackers. I’ll bet that Apple had no ability to do “business” with the company, even if it wanted to, since Russia is currently under embargo due to the Ukraine conflict.

Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it’s own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship, things would probably work out better for everyone in Russia.
