Is there a reason you never do proper link posts? Everything I’ve ever seen you post has been a text post with a url in the body.

Explain what I need to do differently and I will look into it.

[-] robolemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It depends on what you’re using to post. Are you on mobile? If so, what app do you use? If you’re on desktop, are you using any of the alternative UIs, like old.lemmy.world ?

I’m using Mlem on iOS/iPhone.

[-] robolemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Just downloaded mlem. I don’t see any way to do anything but text posts. Never mind, I guess.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

There’s a huge update coming soon supposedly. We’ll see if they add it.

I enjoyed this healthy exchange of ideas between strangers.

Mlem dev here! You can click the link button in the top-right of the post creator and then tap "Paste" to paste a link. You can also upload an image from that menu.

[-] robolemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That is a seriously bizarre and unintuitive way to do it but thanks for the clarification.

[-] sjmarf@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, we're aware. We're making it clearer in the next version :)

While residential customers would see higher rates under the proposal, commercial and industrial gas buyers would actually receive lower rates.

Stacey McTaggart, rates and regulatory director at Texas Gas Service, told the City Council that was because commercial and industrial gas buyers have traditionally paid more than their fair share for natural gas service.

“Their rates are higher than the cost to serve them,” she said. “We would like to bring rates and costs into alignment to send clear economic signals to the commercial sector.”

Apparently Texas Gas Service is basically the Federal Reserve now, trying to send "clear economic signals to the commercial sector."

@protist @reddig33
I mean to a degree *maybe* I could get behind realigning prices. But commercial and industrial buyers are making a profit using that gas and residential buyers aren't... And residential buyers are more likely to need the gas for everyday life and I feel like they *should* be shouldering less of the share of the costs.
