My subreddit got banned today :(

Dunno over on Reddit - wasn’t all too interested in open source when I used it. But people here seem overall friendly towards open source. So if I might suggest, also since Reddit doesn’t explain what the violation was so presumption of innocence for you kicks in, maybe remake the subreddit as a community here? Also decentralized governance should help mitigate powertripping management as Reddit is showing in recent years. At worst, you’d have to make the community again on another instance, but I haven’t seen the lemmy.world administration pick a bone with communities in the years I have been around, so should be safe, me thinks.

Does hikikomori also exist in the US?

They always frame this as a Japanese thing since that is where you first hear that term but the same phenomenon can happen anywhere (they don’t call it hikikomori), like isolating themselves from society, being in their own room. (The meme: “guy living in moms basement” may be the cloest analogy). Also Housing is much cheaper in Japan than in the US where it’s expensive to even rent an apartment, let alone buy a home. Part of me thinks it’s because that it’s an easier jab for them to focus on (non-Western) countries upon discussing it on media while the same thing can happen in where they live but refuse to address it, why is that the case? Hikikomori is possible in Japan because they provide people with housing assitance. They have public housing for low income people and provide financial assistance in which one can apply. Convenience store food like ramen are cheap, so if they can scrape together enough money for food that’s all they need to leave the house for. The same thing in the US is too distant and car dependent (you need to drive to such place) while in Japan you can easily walk up to a kobini and buy food and drinks if you reside near one. Convenience store food in America is a rip off and carries a reputation of having bad quality.

Which game did you get the most and least enjoyment per dollar out of?

I don’t have the original disc, but absolutely Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition. Most bang for my buck, enough back in the day I found a copy online and had an amazing time playing it again. I LOVE it more than the first 2 games purely for the ability to ride the coaster first person rather than through 3rd person following the track. As for least bang for my buck, absolutely a Hot Wheels Stunt Track that I picked up thinking it would be like Beat That. Didn’t even make it past the first level without hating it. Was just a single stunt jump and then the level ends from what I can recall.

I hope you know some of you are AIPAC and Third Way shills and plants 🥸

I dont know if I’m just drinking the conspiracy coolaid but after every major DSA win every vaguely left-wing socialist space is flooded with “they arent socialists just reformists” comments. People arguing that because Mamdani isnt actively calling for the overthrow of capitalism that he’s just a social democrat who just wants to reform capitalism. As if a politician cant run on a platform, while their personal political views might be different. Or that any of the positions the DSA is winning would be capable of overturning capitalism. It almost feels like astroturfing intended to create infighting but I am fully willing to admit I might just be going insane. Am I crazy or have other people noticed this as well?

A Home Battery Revolution Is Reshaping the Power Grid

FULL ARTICLE: By Paul Hockenos Home and commercial solar arrays provide nearly a fifth of Australia’s electricity generation, with panels atop one in every three homes. To extend those panels’ usefulness, owners are increasingly buying home batteries not only to store their power for later use, but to sell electrons to the grid at times of high demand. The arrangement enables grid operators to more effectively manage the mismatch between midday solar generation and real-time consumer demand, a process known as balancing. It also lowers market energy prices because utilities that draw on batteries can avoid building expensive new power plants and power lines. Australia laid the groundwork for this transformation last year by offering homeowners and small businesses a 30 percent discount on residential batteries, which resulted in 430,000 battery installations in less than a year, three times more than expected. A recent expansion of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program is expected to boost the number of installations to more than 2 million by 2030. If they agree to install a smart meter, battery owners can sell energy to the grid and put cash in their pockets: between $80 and $1,600 a year, depending on how the program is structured. In a dozen other countries, mostly in Europe and North America, grid operators are writing checks to homeowners for the right to lease their batteries. “We’re moving toward a world where homes don’t just consume energy — they store it, optimize it, and contribute back to the grid,” says Joe Frodsham of the Texas-based energy storage manufacturer Renon Power. A critical mass of home batteries scattered across a region and networked together through so-called virtual power plants, or VPPs, he says, marks “the shift from energy storage as backup to energy storage as an active grid asset.” Last year, the amount of U.S. home battery capacity enlisted in virtual power plants grew by 153 percent. Unlike a net metering system, which sends unused energy from rooftop solar panels directly into the grid in return for an energy credit, a VPP requires a storage system and software that tells the battery to send energy to the grid when it needs more power, like on a hot summer day. Compensation for tapping a homeowner’s battery is paid by either a local utility or a VPP program, of which there are now more than 500 in the U.S. and thousands in Europe. This rapid expansion of home batteries and advanced software that aggregates thousands of decentralized energy sources is “transforming not only the way electricity is generated, but also how it is traded, delivered, and consumed,” concludes a 2022 International Energy Agency report. These assets, the report said, “can provide valuable services to the grid when incentivized with appropriate technologies, policies, and regulations.” Currently, fewer than 10 percent of Australian homeowners who have solar arrays have signed contracts with energy providers. But experts believe the model has immense potential to expand, thanks to a global “battery revolution” that has, in a matter of years, seen battery prices plummet and their storage capacity shoot up even as their size has shrunk. Today, a 10 kilowatt-hour unit — which can simultaneously run a few household appliances and some lighting and electronics for 24 hours — can snugly fit under a staircase or into a garage corner. Between 2010 and 2020, battery density increased by more than 700 percent, and between 2010 and 2023, the price of lithium-ion batteries plunged from about $1,400 per kilowatt-hour to less than $140 per kilowatt-hour — one of the fastest cost declines of any energy technology in history. Climate experts hope that grids can be cheaply and effectively balanced by hundreds of thousands of batteries distributed across cities, suburbs, and rural areas — some in electric vehicles, others on the walls of garages or cellars, and some in utility-scale storage parks, which still provide the lion’s share of solar-energy storage everywhere in the world. Ideally, aggregating the capacity of decentralized batteries — whether they are charged by solar panels or directly through the grid during off-peak hours — will replace dirty gas peaker plants. Large battery projects, says a May report from the energy think tank Ember, “are increasingly cost-competitive and faster to build than new gas power plants.” And their carbon footprint is about 87 percent smaller than an average-size gas peaker. Home batteries offer similar advantages. When home battery systems are programmed to charge during times of high renewable output and discharge during peak grid demand, studies show they can reduce average household emissions by 2.2 to 6.4 percent. Last year, the amount of U.S. home battery capacity enlisted in virtual power plants grew by 153 percent. Programs in Puerto Rico and California that paid homeowners for their stored energy were a “key driver of the growth,” according to policy and research analyst Madeline Turner of San Diego-based Ohm Analytics. California’s VPP program, according to Canary Media, “has shown that its fleet of home batteries can be relied on much like a traditional power plant.” During a two-hour test last July, roughly 100,000 home batteries delivered about 539 megawatts of energy — more than the output of a large gas peaker plant. In the U.S., an installed 10 kilowatt-hour system costs roughly $8,000 to $13,000. A 30-percent federal clean energy credit ended in 2025, although customers can still benefit until 2027 from tax incentives by leasing a battery system from a commercial solar or battery company. California offers an additional baseline rebate of around $150 per kilowatt-hour. In Puerto Rico, which has a particularly rickety power grid, 70,000 home batteries are helping to reduce the risk of blackouts. Residential storage markets function differently from country to country, and in the U.S. from state to state, as do their payment schemes. In Germany this spring, Octopus Energy’s PowerDrive bundle began providing customers with a smart meter and an EV charger that enables electricity to flow in two directions, allowing it to manage its customers’ EV charging in exchange for up to 10,000 free miles of driving, plus an annual bonus of up to $409 if the EV is plugged in, at home, for 300 or more hours. Octopus makes money selling the power stored in customers’ EVs when demand peaks and prices spike. The nation’s EV ownership rate is just under 3 percent, though, so the total impact of vehicle-to-grid technology is quite small. Since 2022, the U.K. has had a system that pays homeowners for reducing demand when the grid is stressed — whether by high demand or a lack of wind, which provides about 30 percent of the U.K.’s total electricity generation. Battery owners have the advantage of being able to rely on their batteries during these periods. In Puerto Rico, which has a particularly rickety power grid, some 70,000 home batteries are helping to reduce the risk of blackouts, according to the grid operator. Germany’s largest VPP is Statkraft, whose software links a multitude of decentralized energy resources including a few large fossil-fueled power plants, biogas and hydroelectric plants, thousands of solar and wind farms, and thousands more residential and commercial batteries. It markets its tidy bundles of energy on short-term European power exchanges. With the growing demand for power, and long waits for grid connections, utilities are prepared to pay storage owners for the right to lease their batteries. But because the demand for and price of energy on a macro scale is different than the needs of a single household, most VPPs won’t optimize price fluctuations to benefit a household budget. Rather, they will optimize those fluctuations to benefit their own business model. A homeowner may prefer to charge their battery overnight, when the price of power drops, and discharge it in the late afternoon, when prices surge. But a VPP will charge and discharge the battery as needed to balance the grid — even if prices are unfavorable to the homeowner. The primary drawbacks of joining a VPP, says Toby Couture of E3 Analytics, a Berlin-based energy think tank, are the household’s loss of control over when and how much power a third party can call upon (though most plans allow battery owners to set a reserve level), uncertain financial returns, and some additional wear and tear on the battery from extra cycling. A 2025 study found that EVs enrolled in a VPP program degraded 9 to 14 percent faster over a 10-year period. Another drawback is the high purchase price of home batteries, although some countries and several U.S. states offer subsidies. Australia’s policies, which have reduced regulatory hurdles and challenges to integrating residential power, have made it the frontrunner in bidirectional storage, and similar policies in other countries could propel the clean energy transition forward. Where two-way battery storage makes financial sense to grid operators and battery owners, whether large or small, virtual power plants will likely expand in places where regulatory conditions allow, experts say. This is the logic of a battery revolution that is just beginning to transform our electricity markets.

Complex food webs sustain ecosystem functioning

Healthy ecosystems depend on more than just having lots of species—they rely on the complex relationships between plants, prey and predators, according to new international research led by the University of Waikato and the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). Published in the journal Nature, the study found that ecosystems with greater diversity of species—and particularly a greater diversity of predators—function more effectively, helping maintain natural processes that people rely on, such as pest control, climate regulation and ecosystem stability.

YSK about consumerrights.wiki

“Creating the internet’s largest dedicated repository of information on anti-consumer practices, one edit at a time.” I think it’s important to have one central, accessible place documenting every scandal, controversy, screw-up a company has ever pulled. It allows you to make better choices and to better cut through the PR bullshit of said companies. However, consumer rights wiki doesn’t come up when I search for “[company X] controversies” or similar terms in search engines (based on my limited testing). That’s why I feel it’s important for more people to know about this site.

What Fox News is using to show how scary Socialism is for America

This boogie-man makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of zero-sum thinking. They literally view helping other people as being detrimental to their own position because it means that the people “beneath” them are now less far beneath. This makes their position feel less lofty because we’ve raised the floor of human suffering, thereby making them feel less advantaged and less high above that floor of human suffering by comparison. It’s not even a meme to characterize them as saying, “the suffering is the point” when they support certain inherently evil consumerist practices. They literally think that way.

No, I don't believe you.

I don’t believe you when you say you just listened to a genre of music in your small hick town and you just ignored R&B, Rap, Hip Hop, House, and anything that’s Afro adjacent including Jazz. I don’t. I don’t believe you when you say this when we’re talking about Stevie Wonder. I don’t believe anything on what you say when you say that tired ol excuse. I lived in fucking Spring, Texas. Do you know how much country I had fucking HEAR in ear shot? I didn’t write it off as just Country Music, I took note of it. Blake Shelton. Kenney Cheesney. Toby Keith. Tim Mcgraw. FUCKING RASCAL FLATTS. You probably didn’t listen to it because it’s not your scene and you just didn’t care until it was time to care about black music when it became impossible to ignore. That’s fine. I am okay with the idea that you, a white person who has pronouns that are (it/its) in michigan of all places you had to make your own space. That’s legit fine. The white guy who works at my job who works in a cubicle doesn’t fuck with rap because he’s from Ohio who wears cowboy boots, belt buckles that has rodeo on it. That’s fine. I am okay with that. It doesn’t shock me in the slightest. It doesn’t offend me, it offends me that you as my friend, someone who I play DND is going to lie to me about who you are as if I couldn’t handle it due to my own sensibilities.

Seeking input for my outdoor fish tank

Hello, aquarium enthusiasts! I live in Washington DC and have a 25 million liter short rimless fish tank which I’d like to stock with plants and animals. Annoyingly, it’s only about 45cm deep at the shallow ends, so I’m not sure what would work best. It’s also outdoors, and obviously a bit too large to move. Please help! The algae is going NUTS, so I’d like to prevent that. Plecos? Saltwater? Idk, this kind of isn’t my field of expertise and my cabinet is really busy with this whole “Texas secessionist movement” bullshit.
