  • What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?

  • The cost of ingredients have gone up anywhere from 75%-300% from corporate greed. Flour went from $1/Lb to $5/Lb. It's actually cheaper in some cases to buy the mass produced version of things like bread.

    TL;DR: You can only lower you consumption so much before you starve

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • Headphones/ear buds. It really comes down to your use case. If you listen to podcasts and audiobooks 90% of the time then you only need good enough which is typically around $40.

  • That's why I went ahead and got one of those 49" Samsung displays. I use it probably 300 days a year and I'll likely keep it for 10 years like my old ones. I could have saved money but this was a luxury that I can easily justify by how often I use it.

  • It really doesn't matter. Sleep on whatever you're comfortable on. If that's a $60 walmart inflatable or a $4k luxury silver lined mattress, whatever gives you the best sleep is right for you.

  • Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside.

    Jump

  • How are you using 21kWh/day heating a small home? Do you have any insulation at all?

  • so just not eat at all then?

  • Completely untrue nowadays...

  • Hardware problems are an entirely different issue.

    Literally the biggest issue

  • Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

    Jump

  • I dunno what you guys are doing that makes your nextcloud die without touching it

    Mine runs happily until I decide to update it

  • Nobara 39 Officially Released

  • This is a shit-tier post. Why hide the relevant information that's 2 sentences long?

    Relevant information:

    Better integration with Steam. By default the Steam Deck uses KDE as the desktop mode. This inherently means it receives updates from Valve in terms of desktop related fixes, and they are actively working with KDE developers to bring updates to KDE (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/t2184m/is_there_any_cooperation_with_valve_and_kde/)

  • They give them away for free in the bins near the exit. They also have dowels and screws and stuff that gets left out of the packaging some times.

  • People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong?

    Jump

  • And they're only $50 for the actual Hitachi model. Always assumed it would be far more expensive.

  • People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

  • Does it rub the oil itself?

  • Renting (at sane rates that allow saving up a down payment) is a pathway to ownership.

    As opposed to what? You're either living with somebody for free or you're homeless if not currently renting or owning.

  • Should have laughed if this was a corporate device. They ignored the continuous popups for too long and was forced into compliance at an inconvenient time because they couldn't be bothered to reboot at the end of the day for likely 2 weeks.

  • We are not the same

    Jump

  • It used to be like that

    You're right, about 100 years ago it did used to be like that. Local banks aren't a thing anymore. While Co-op banking institutions are better for the local community, they're also investing in options outside the local community, further depleting the resources of the 30% of customers who shop at more affordable locations

  • We are not the same

    Jump

  • That's the point though. The profits don't go to locals, they stay within the owner's for their second cottage and new boat. Very rarely do local stores actually benefit anybody other than themselves.

  • We are not the same

    Jump

  • It's blaming people that go into thrift stores looking for items to immediately flip for profit online, depriving the community of needed material resources at an affordable price.
