I mean, I'd be happy enough to cede our allegiance as a commonwealth colonial power, as it's kinda gross. But since we still are, we might as well use it to our advantage.
If we can broker some favour and some sort of potential defense pact from the rest of the commonwealth nations against the US's declared hostile intentions, then why not use it to our advantage?
Wilson said that for the past five years he had asked 300 first-year criminology students to raise their hand if they had watched a beheading video online. “All of them have,” he said, adding that this prevalence was reflected in an increase in these crimes.
Yeah, this passage in particular was a bit of a head scratcher. Like, you could pick any societal change since the adoption of the internet and say the same thing. If anything it indicates the opposite.
My theory is it's only a matter of time until the firing sprees generate enough backlog of actual work that isn't being realised by the minor productivity gains from AI until the investors start asking hard questions.
Probably not even strange to them, it's just the nature of science journalism these days. If it's not strange and new, it doesn't turn eyes, and therefore there's little incentive to write about it.
Yeah, exactly. If you're worried about the power draw to host a few hundred KB PDF file, you probably shouldn't be using Lemmy, because scrolling through your feed probably uses 100x that in energy costs.
You have to remember that the shared hosting or aws, or wherever is going to be cheapest to host a simple website is also going to be very power efficient. Wasting power is just throwing away free money, and if there's one thing corporations don't do, it's throw away free money.
I don't mind the whole online menu thing. It's probably an environmental net positive, but it's bs if they don't have ANY physical copies for those who can't or don't want to for whatever reason.
If they wanted me to install something, though, that'd be a 100% instant nope.
Ontario's NDP and Liberals are both pledging tens of billions of dollars in new spending to pay for their campaign promises, but are taking different approaches to the other side of the ledger, with the NDP proposing wealth taxes and the Liberals eyeing "efficiencies."
Sounds like more austerity and tax cuts from the libs. They really want the cons to win I guess. Hopefully they aren't thinking about some sort of department to oversee these efficiencies...
The concept that the liberals think they can materialise $28B out of thin air is laughable.
Well, you USED to be able to, anyways, but they've slowly moved to a less customisable ui. Now you have to use extensions from outside websites to even do simple stuff like have a multi-row tab bar.
Not to mention Firefox seems to break them every year or so.
Also, keep in mind, google has been caught slowing Firefox down in YouTube before. So if you notice any slowness in their services, it's fair to suspect it might not be Firefox's fault.
Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.
