politics @lemmy.world•Minutes before Trump's announcement, $800 million in trades made on oil pricesEnglish
103·26 days agoIt’s one thing for someone inside to profit off their insider knowledge.
It’s a whole 'nother level of evil to make announcements and decisions based on the profits you can make.

Linux@programming.dev•CachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDBEnglish
15·1 month agoI’ve been running Cachy for a few months - it just works.
I picked it because it appeared to be easy to install Arch (which I’ve run before, btw) with sane defaults.
But that’s exactly what Endeavour is from what I just read.
I don’t know if the purported optimisations provide any real world benefit, but the major reason I went Cachy is it being the flavour of the month.
For the time being, it’s where a lot of focus is for new development in the gaming space.

Looks interesting.
Nice head height, good visibility.
Don’t love that interior, but I guess that’s the price point.

This is a big one for me, I can now search for “IT” and actually get results!


The average wholesale power price is plummeting.
There’s also massive price spikes during exceptional conditions, where we rely primarily on gas turbines. We also have massive daily connection fee charges to contend with.
As a retail customer, the prices remain the highest in the country and arguably some of the highest in the world.
Currently I am paying 46c/kWh for what I use, compared to ~ 28c in Victoria and Tasmania, 33c in Queensland or 36c in New South Wales.
On top of this high usage charge, I am also paying 125c per day as the “Supply Charge” just for being connected.
I’m not 100% sure where the blame should be placed here, but SOMEONE is making mega profits, because the savings aren’t being passed on.
