Rather than make it more expensive to import cheap solar panels, wouldn't it be better to make the required standards more stringent. That way, if China makes tonnes of high quality cheap solar panels, US consumers can still buy them cheap while being assured of their quality.

Concurrently, the US manufacturers can figure out how to reduce costs to compete.

It just seems to me that artificially increasing prices doesn't do very much except line the pockets of authorities and hurt the average person trying to be more green.

Rather than raise tariffs, wouldn't it be better to increase standards?

I made a joke about him changing his pledges a lot. You got defensive and denied. I provided evidence. You dismissed the evidence and then justified the thing you said started out by saying he didn't do. This has been a journey!

I’m not stopping you, lol

I would argue that what you're doing is far worse, you're tempting me! 😭

New kit launch

There's been talk of this for a while. Sadly it means that things like quality, price, leaps in innovation, things remaining useable across different models, will inevitably get worse as they start to pursue profit over everything else.

Starmer changes his pledges more than he changes his underwear. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

Why would you?

That's honestly the optimal way to travel. The world needs to make public transport the primary mode of transport everywhere.

I don't want them scrapped, I want them outsourced and fully independent.

Google said, "yo, we heard you liked search, so we gave you AI with a slither of search and we will ram it down your throat until you feel like you can't live without it, because walled gardens are the best and we can't figure out a way to trap you in ours" 🥴

I would like to introduce a new self-hosted community

!selfhosted@libretechni.ca

As it says in the sidebar

Self-hosted is a community for people who believe in taking things into their own hands. The only thing that I ask of members of this community is to be nice to one another. Please note the emphasis on this version of the community is independence, learning and communication. If you’re unsure of where a link leads, either click it or ask.

So if you're into that kinda thing, consider giving !selfhosted@libretechni.ca a subscription and then have a wonderful day. If not, have a wonderful day anyway.

Is it just me or do Instagram videos loaded via Pixwox always buffer for you too?

Sometimes you post on Lemmy and it gets a level of traction that you were unprepared for. Right now, that just ends up filling your inbox. It would be nice if we could mute posts and then no responses would be sent to the inbox and everyone else can continue their discussions.

Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn't make sense in modern society on modern devices.
