    You can actually fix this in the settings there’s an option for permanent prompt tunings and you can add things like “focus on concise answers” or my favorite " i don’t need to be glazed , I don’t need to be told that it’s an insightful question or reaches the heart of the matter. Just focus on answering the question"



  • Using modern filters, and using a pressure booster pump to ensure proper pressure level this is actually nowhere near as bad it’s now possible to achieve a one-to-one clean to waste ratio.

    If you don’t want any waste you can go to nanofiltration which is roughly as effective as Reverseosmosis and does not have the Wastewater issue but they are significantly more expensive.

    And it’s not as if that Wastewater is sewage it’s just the same water that came in with a higher concentration of the stuff that you didn’t want that was already present in the water so that Wastewater can be reused for gardening, or gray water such as showers and toilets

    I get that they aren’t perfect but everything has a trade off and reverse osmosis or nanofiltration is really the only way to get rid of many different sources of water contamination especially things like microplastics and pfas


  • Just a heads up Brita filters do basically nothing it’s mostly just a carbon block which will help remove chlorine flavor which makes it taste a little better but in terms of actually removing contaminants it does very little to almost nothing.

    Zero water is the closest thing in brita drip form that actually removes things but getting a counter top reverse osmosis is the way to go if not getting a dedicated under sink unit












  • It’s called the JCPenney effect, because at one point JCPenney attempted to get rid of all the bullshit sales and only list the real actual price. It almost bankrupted them, because instead of buying jeans from them for $20 people would go to the store next door that had literally the exact same jeans for $40 but with a sign that said that they were 40% off

    This is a case where it is 100% the fault of the consumers, because we are retarded and fall for this bullshit every single time



  • No it got popular because Reddit pissed a lot of people off temporarily. The only thing segregated instances does is confuse and upset the average person. Hell I host like 10 different alternative open source front ends for various websites and I fucking hate Lemmy instances. It makes Discovery new content unbelievably tedious.

    What if I just want to browse communities? I can only do that on a per instant spaces, I have to go to that instance go to its communities tabs to browse and then if I find something I want I have to take its address and then go back to my own instance so I can subscribe to it with my account. That pisses me off and makes me not want to bother with it let alone the average user.

    The sad state of reality is that centralized systems will always eventually get turned into corporate greed money machines but decentralized instances are by their very nature just shit and hard to work with and no one wants to put up with them.


  • I mean we can just look at historical precedent. Back when the drug crisis started and Nixon decided to start the War on Drugs Switzerland took a completely different approach and started what they called care centers. Somewhere you could go to get heroin of high quality administered by doctors for free, you would also then get somewhere to sleep somewhere to shower and keep your things. Access to social workers and mental Care Professionals to help you get your life back on track.

    They saw a 85% success rate within the first year. 85% of people that went into those facilities had a stable job on their own household of some variety within the first year and a follow-up study of how they were doing 5 years later showed that they had stayed employed and housed and not regressed.

    But that would require people in the US to be willing to look at them as people and not just criminals who did it to themselves. These people are literally broken, you can’t treat their actions as you would a normal person because they are not mentally stable.


  • Rather it is because you don’t do those things that you are not. I personally still like to have at least a box spring, but for the most part my bedroom is, well, a room that I put my bed in. I don’t understand the need for $1,000 of pillows that we aren’t allowed to actually sleep with overly fancy blankets that look nice in a photo but aren’t anywhere near as comfortable as a cheap down blanket at Costco.

    Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy things looking nice, but there has to be some value to the item other than just it looks nicer. Function over form ideally function with form but in the bedroom form rarely follows function
