Electricity vs. energy. Electricity is only part of energy.

Tämähän on hyvä, pitäisi tasata piikkejä kummastakin päästä, eli tuskin tulee myöskään aivan yhtä kovia jättilaskuja sähkön ollessa kallista
Linux is quite lightweight. Pick a distro that doesn't run a lot of stuff by default. OpenBSD only runs sshd exposed to the network, AFAIR. Debian probably does the same. But really, the lightness comes from what isn't running. NixOS, fedora, rocky, alpine are all decent alternatives.
I can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn't free to run. But there are several things to consider:
- $1/year is very low, transaction fees for accepting that amount of money are high
- It's a low price for successful bots
- Doesn't remove ads (take money from subscribers or advertisers, not both, also print media)
- Doesn't give you better control over your experience. The paying customer should be the one being listened to
- This is Elon Musk's twitter we're talking about, how long until he changes his mind again?
Another surge on mastodon? Countries, cities, public organisations should put up their own mastodon like EU, BBC and Germany have.
- Flatness. UI controls need to be recognizable.
- Theming/styling. A button should look like button.
- Lack of menus. Discoverability is poor if you don't have a list of things in an obvious place.
- Gestures. Lack of discoverability.
- Information density. I don't care about huge margins and filler pictures. Content shouldn't be crammed, but space should be used efficiently.
- Mobile first. Especially if mobile use is only a fraction of actual use. Or maybe even if it is the majority of users, but not majority of use (operations, hours).
- Simplicity. Make simple things simple, but hard things possible. Removing features can make your software useless.
what about an actually free alternative, like matrix + element?
Put a superlinear tax on car size / weight. Big cars must be much more expensive than small ones. https://slate.com/business/2023/01/electric-cars-hummer-ev-tax-fees-weight-joe-biden.html

I welcome an European alternative to Visa/Mastercard/Amex. I think it could have some at-cost fees, especially to make shops that benefit from the system pay for it instead of all taxpayers. I hope it will respect privacy, and not just at first and then start on a slippery slope. Maybe this would then allow shopkeepers to price the different payment options. I think there is legislation now that price cannot depend on payment method.
