I’m surprised there isn’t more movement to just completely ban building in these areas. Getting everyone else to cover the cost of their predictable destruction seems very unfair.
I am aware that they have a state insurer in Florida. They are going to need it. I can’t see a single private insurance company wanting to touch anything to do with rebuilding in areas affected by this. They know climate change is getting worse, and this is only going to happen soon again.
You circumvented their TOS, by using an alt account to evade a ban on a subreddit. That’s why they banned you from Reddit itself.
Like Covid, it seems humans have to wait until disaster is right on their doorstep, before they pull themselves together to do something about it.
Is the UK contemplating tariffs on Chinese EVs?, if not that will be one of the few advantages of Brexit, as the EU has just agreed to mandate them.
Oh the ladies on “The View” already love her. She’ll have no problems with them.
The View and the Real Housewives franchise are guilty TV pleasures I normally hate admitting to in public.
When might it integrate Lemmy?
So this is a roundabout way of saying the Israelis were about to add famine to their list of war crimes.
Renewables are way, way cheaper. Nuclear is finished. I’m sick of hearing its supporters never ending excuses.
I think I might try that approach, you’re right it could motivate a subset of people. We have a pinned post spot at the top of the sub-reddit I’m going to use again in a few days. When I used it before, I’d guess a few thousand people read the post, but it seemed to generate very few people moving to the Lemmy site.

Slightly off-topic, but how are you finding encouraging Reddit users to make the switch to Lemmy?
I mod r/futurology, which is close to 20 million subscribers, but most of the growth for futurology.today has come from within the fediverse. Any tips for encouraging Redditors to migrate?
Great info. Out of curiosity what does your hosting setup say about visitor numbers? Futurology.today uses Cloudflare. They give a figure of about 10k per day for what they call unique visitors. That seems unduly high when you look at how busy our lemmy instance actually is. We have just short of 1K subscribers, so I would assume visitor numbers would be lower than 10k per day.
If you haven’t seen any of the classic late 60s/early 70s horror movies, they are worth checking out. ‘Rosemary’s Baby’, 'The Exorcist, ‘Don’t Look Now’, or ‘The Omen’ are all fantastic.
It should also worry investors open-source AI is only months behind the big tech leaders. I looked into AI voice cloning lately. There’s a few really pricey options. Like $25 a month for a couple of hours voice cloning.
However, there’s already an open-source version of what they’re selling.
I wonder when this is going to seriously affect world oil demand? People used to think “Peak Oil” would be when supply was constrained, it turns out it will be when demand is constrained.
A US company just announced 1,800 new jobs manufacturing 10GW of solar power for India. Those post-coal jobs are out there, it would help if government bodies helped bring them to where they are needed.
Ukraine deserves to be in the EU, but they’ve a long way to go, and its not just the war. They have a vast corruption problem which needs fixing before becoming one with the other EU nations. The EU should start a process that ties progress on that, to getting nearer to EU membership.
Yes, its hard to understand. On the other hand our results on cloudflare look way too good to be true. They say the fediverse site had 180K unique visitors in its first month and almost 3 million of what it calls “total requests”.
It’s hard to figure out what this means in terms of how many people on the fediverse are seeing the content, both from our site, and where its coming up in federated instances.
I should have been more specific, I was just referring to the storm surge flooded areas.
