synergy rule
Tbh I like the principle of an idea fridge.
It can be easily understood as something that is paused, and only paused, for a short period of time but then continued.
The rest I don't quite see the usefulness.

Best game ever
I also don't like it, because it feels just like a play and fake.
Like a societal norm that just has to happen, but all the entertainment effect of it has gone (as it is so common to come back)

I tried to live for 24 hours without using oil-based products. It was ridiculously impossible
This is like oil propaganda.
I remember a 'not just bikes' video on which he showed a video from the 80-90s that was literally this setup: a teenager suddenly has to live without oil products, and they pick specific large impact things to get the pre determined result: the teenager is happy for all the oil products.
Yes, we are using it for a lot of different things. A lot of industries just don't want to find some large scale replacement, because why would they without incentives. We do have alternatives for a lot of things, just not mass produced or optimized. The goal should not be to get rid of it completely (because that is incredibly hard, and might be overly complex), the goal is to get rid of things as much as possible and some products primarily, because burning petroleum is probably the most stupid way of usage.

Small adaptions over a longer time are better than crazy strict diets, because there is a higher chance that you stick to these adaptions.

Invest in fossil fuel?
That seems like the wrong way around.

Yay! More centralisation!
I don't see the issue with recommending a generic instance, if your intend is to convert the generic user. It certainly is a better experience than saying 'ok, so choose what you like from this list of instances' and they don't even know the implications or what that means.
The overcomplication of Lemmy is an issue, and this behavior tries to avoid that.

Idk if it's that old if it is directly exposed in the water like that. I would imagine that it would have decomposed

It can be free, but people creating a distro can ask for money. Mostly it's free tho, and you probably can enter a custom amount of 0.

Tbh tech illiteracy also goes in a similar direction.
Or short form content.

Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents?
More expensive to build. That doesn't get offset by accidents and whatever. Also harder to repair in case something really is broken with it.

Tbf, GPU were already part of a significant price increase. It just stuck around and got the new normal.
