Thanks for the quick work! The 'leave all communities' button, in conjunction with the export and import of settings, means I can edit me subscriptions in vim if I want to, which is great. Having an option on the import to replace my subscriptions, rather than add to them, would be the cherry on the cake.

That's interesting. If the text had made it clear it was optional I definitely would have skipped it. Hopefully that will be easy to fix.

 

I'm yet another lemm.ee refugee looking for a new home. I signed up to piefed.social, and in the process was required to select at least three interests. That seems to have been used to sign me up to 58 separate communities, none of which I actually wanted to be signed up to! I can see how it can be a good way to fill new users' feeds and give them a starting point, but I'd really like to see an option to say "Don't add me to anything, I'll handle it from here". Unsubscribing from all of those was painful.

Jeeniouss!

So, heat pumps are more than 100% efficient, in that they move more heat than the energy needed to run them. Therefore, the neighbour should also install this system, creating a closed system that keeps both houses warm at better than 100% efficiency. I think this might solve all our energy needs, and global warming in one go. Tsk, to think the so called scientists have been trying to get fusion working when this solution is already practical.

10 years ago today, Christopher Lee, an English actor and singer, died.

That's just his cover story. His ex-bosses saw how the world was going and he got pulled back in for one last mission...

Well, that's a horrifying dystopia, well done.

"the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same" is the bit that sold it for me. It's entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.
