8·4 days agoIt’s not that i directly want her to suffer, it’s that i want ALL people to be subjected to the things they chose to have subjected onto other people. Basic golden rule stuff. If she chose to be fine with innocent people having their lives fucked up, then i hope the same is returned to her in equal measure.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in uber in certain countries you can select a driver that does not talk for people who prefer silent drives

Like driver: “Deepstate, amiright?!” You: “Nah, that’s not the reality of the situation, but on the other hand deep dish pizza is something i can really get behind. Do you like deep dish pizza?”

5·5 days agoCan i select “only talk to me if you have interesting things to say”?
I’ve had some enjoyable convos with drivers, but I’ve also been stuck in conversations about the weather or other banal topics.
Love, sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
Dude, y so serious. Do you need me to quote some of the multiple times where i said basically “the rule doesn’t make sense but the mod can do whatever they like”?

You clearly didn’t read what i wrote. I said multiple times almost exactly what you just wrote.
Well sure, a moderator can write whatever they want in the sidebar, that doesn’t mean it makes any sense. If you like you can create a c/catpics and then put a rule in the sidebar saying we allow all content except for pictures of cats. Just because you CAN do that doesn’t mean it makes sense to
It’s not pedantry, it’s a massive difference in moderation direction from what you said.
I only view my main feed so i don’t pay attention to what post is in what community, but i believe you that a new moderation direction may be needed. But it also sounds like you’re talking about trying to steer it into an extremely narrow alley which isn’t valid to the title of the community. c/photos is for only photographs, but c/pics means it’s for way more than just photos.
You have the ability to restrict it to just photos of feet if you wanted to, but imo that also wouldn’t be valid.
I’m glad you’re moderating out violent posts though
Picture doesn’t mean photograph. The word picture predates the invention of the camera. That’s why the word photograph was created in the first place, to differentiate it from other types of pictures. A photo is what comes from a camera, a picture basically means any kind of image. An image of JUST text probably doesn’t qualify as a picture, but pretty much every other image does.
If a person wants to just see photographs then I’m sure there are plenty of c/photos communities for that.
But with that said, this community isn’t c/memes or c/socialposts either, so a nuanced bit of a moderation hand could certainly be warranted.
And with that also said, moderators can do whatever they want with their own communities. So if you wanted to limit it to like just text posts instead of any pics then that would be up to you to decide too

Bad Santa
All measures are imperfect, that doesn’t mean it’s totally meaningless and should be disregarded. And it also seems like you’re referencing outdated data, as the cost of battery storage seriously decreased in 2025. But by any measure i can find, nuclear is significantly more expensive than renewables+storage. Regarding China, their data is generally not trustworthy on any topic, but yes I’m sure nuclear can cost a lot less there than elsewhere when you can steamroll over the citizens that would be effected by a powerplant’s construction, operation, and waste storage.
I’m not an expert in this at all, but I believe that private capital isn’t investing their own money in new nuclear construction, and that tells the whole story about the cost per watt of nuclear. If nuclear was cheaper per watt after all costs were considered then private capital would be building new nuclear, but they aren’t, so that means it clearly isn’t.
EDIT
I just looked at your link and it pretty clearly says the opposite of everything you said. Quote from the intro of your article:
[renewable energy] largely prevails over nuclear in China, the United States, and Europe – the world’s three largest power systems, as well as in Japan.
And
New wind and solar projects are much cheaper than new reactors.
The main problem with nuclear power is that it’s the most expensive form of electricity. People who say otherwise are only looking at the cost of running the generator, rather than including all the true costs involved in generating each watt, which is called the “Levelized Cost Of Electricity” (LCOE)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_electricity
So there’s no reason to build any new nuclear generators now that renewables+storage are the cheapest form of electricity, and are also the easiest and fastest to build.

Which show?
