  • You can do whatever the heck you want. Successful communities are rarely successful at scale without funding. Debian, RHEL, C, Rust, Go, Apache, Nginx, Ruby, JS, etc all have a considerable commercial backing. Nothing tells me anyone had a viable long term plan for ensuring privacy and stability.

  • I agree I'm pretty pissy and numb to the former reddit and now lemmy crowd. It's all just bitching that everything should be free without looking into the reality of costs (among others off topic topics). I want a decentralized network to happen but I am 100% expecting the community to fuck it up.

    This is like year of the Linux desktop for social media just playing out in duplicate with no understanding why Linus desktop never took off.

  • Most people do.

    In 2019, there were approximately 22.8 billion credit, debit, and prepaid cards in use worldwide. This number is expected to reach 29.31 billion by 2023. The number of general purpose and private label debit cards increased 3.8% to 6.28 billion between 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the overall credit card in circulation reached 64 million. According to a Forbes Advisor survey from February 2023, 54% of consumers use a physical or virtual debit card and 36% of consumers use a physical or virtual credit card.

    And the vast majority of those not using them are not valuable as customers.

  • I see a 5k credit. In US prices that'll mean a drop in performance or luxury. Me driving 5000 miles a year with a 3.90 (1k/yr) fuel cost, I have at best have a chance to save $400 a year.

  • And yet, here we are asking for unpaid highly sought after unpaid volunteers while the site is under attack and not responding in an acceptable timeframe, for the nth time this month.

    But yeah fuck Reddit for... Unpaid moderators?

  • Christ this is a stupid fucking battle. YOU 👏 CANNOT 👏 REPLICATE 👏 AN OPS 👏 TEAM 👏 FOR 👏 FREE. You dumb twats. I fucking would love to see this place succeed but none of you want to grasp reality and the costs of making a service highly available and the privacy costs.

    Start a fucking non profit, publish your costs, require subscriptions from heavy users, hire a team of devs and ops and publish your fucking sheets at the end of the year to show you aren't hoarding it. e.g. Mozilla.

    Grow the fuck up. If you want to power a tech revolution do the fucking work. ./ End rant

  • The credits aren't. You might find a model that say a particular time are a close comparison but the really is most of the the time you are sacrificing drivetrain power or features even after the EV credit + slightly lower fuel costs. And when you do have vehicles in this category it's economy vehicles.

  • I have 90% of my heating and cooling on solar and sell back to my neighbors. I ate probably 40% of my food last week from garden using my own compost. I don't have enough plastic waste or waste in general too sort through for any real recycling besides a small bin of you could call it that.

    What do you do?
