I'd have assumed it was AUD, and even then it's high. I pay 0.28/kWh AUD in Sydney. That'd be 0.2/kWh USD.

If you have no connection with them, then you haven't signed anything indemnifying them for their actions with your data, so do you have grounds to sue for damages?

I came here to say almost the same thing. I've been learning rust in my free time because I don't do enough programming at work to scratch that itch any more, and I've been using t…

This article made me think of public bathrooms in the UK, which, despite having to pay to enter, are some of the most disgusting public bathrooms I've seen. I like the idea of the …

"Conflicting Signals". I don't even mean to be political, but one of the two parties here is notorious for lying, so much so that there's a wikipedia page dedicated to the falsehoo…

There's a thing going on in Australia with Melatonin. It's not OTC, it's a prescription thing. BUT doctors typically just tell people to buy online from America because it's much c…

Somebody read that recent open letter to the Obsidian Team and realized the security implications rather than just the inconvenience :D So far I have uninstalled all themes & plugi…

I wish it supported a local LLM, like running deepseek locally or in a docker container or something. Edit: Sorry, apparently this is supported. I'll give it a go!

Imagine if they used this power for good and also identified the adults in these childrens lives who cared & would make a difference, and shared this with them. Ensuring those teen…
