Block US within Lemmy?

I use PieFed. Filter lists are one feature and here I am commenting on user/moderator QoL feature anemic Lemmy. I see absolutely nothing about US politics unless the title doesn't mention what I've blacklisted. Still cuts down on almost all of it except meme communities. I try to join meme communities not hosted on American centric instances instead.

A little bit is okay. I just don't want US centric posts to be the majority of what I see as a Canadian. It's not my country.

I use FreshRSS for news/international news and my mental health is better for it since I don't look at it constantly like my forums addiction.

What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?

Didn't say if you own the home or not, but if so:

Mind it's only hot for 2-4 months out of the year for me, so I have a winterized attic fan. Just means I'm not losing heat in the winter and paid a little more to buy it. You can just get a regular attic fan if it's never or rarely cold where you live.

You leave windows open, but now there's negative pressure from pushing air out the attic where a lot of the heat is trapped and sucking in air from outside even if there's no breeze. I leave the attic access hole open when it's running. The rare day I still use a Window A/C to sleep.
