The list of options participants were given:

• Eat less meat (50% reduction)
• Stop eating meat
• Avoid food products imported by plane
• Use public transport
• Recycle things more
• Buy fewer new things
• More energy from renewable sources

Some of it is a bit less actionable then "eat less meat", but they're still pretty concrete.

If you believe the study enough to mock the outcome, then yes, apparently they'll take other actions:

"They are very happy to get more energy from renewable resources, to recycle things more, to buy fewer new things — which all do have an impact."

Finding optimal CO values that are long-term stable across all workloads (namely: idle) is such an enormous PITA though X_X

In addition to not qualifying by most definitions of open source (as already mentioned), CC is not recommended for use in software: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software

We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available.

Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software. Many software licenses also address patent rights, which are important to software but may not be applicable to other copyrightable works. Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses, so it would be difficult to integrate CC-licensed work with other free software. Existing software licenses were designed specifically for use with software and offer a similar set of rights to the Creative Commons licenses.

Welcome to the statistically-likely club!

Honestly I was pretty content with the fees involved when I used it for Euros a couple years back. Afaik the fees aren't trivial but at least they're not steep (unlike e.g., using PayPal to do the same thing) - I didn't really feel robbed but it'll depend on what your expectations are!

I've used Wise (formerly TransferWise) for international transfers a couple of times. They use "mid market" exchange rates so tend to be on the cheaper side as far as total loss of value on a transfer (fees + exchange rate losses).

Admittedly it's been a couple of years since I last looked around at these services though!

Regarding Fedia.io, it’s currently inaccessible as I’m working with developers to debug the problems and sadly symfony exposes way too much in debug mode

Based on what I've heard from kbin instance admins (especially jerry, the owner of fedia.io, where I usually post from when not dealing with errors), it's not an easy thing to keep running in its current state. I imagine if you instance hop sub-100 user kbin instances many of them will end up shutting down or having inactive owners.

For example, feddit.online is kbin instance #6 by user count (yet it's still <100!) and has announced they're shutting down in a couple of months: https://feddit.online/m/feddit/t/66403/SERVER-GOING-AWAY-ON-NOV-26th

To have a stable instance experience without going with a large instance you might have better luck with another AP platform as your home base, whether Lemmy or something else entirely.
