Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

They say if you don't pay, you're the product, but that's obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.

Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

It's all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it's online, it should be available everywhere.

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it's theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they'd be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google's, I mean.

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they're banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.

We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people's work, than what individuals are doing with what they've paid for.

Or simply, if someone's profiting off of someone else's work, then worry about the rules.

It's only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There's nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

Pay them more, entice more people to work, less workload per teacher.

That's a weird thing to say. I'd be more worried about whether the refugees will want to go back after the war, to help rebuild the country, or stay in their new lives. As refugees, they may or may not have a choice, but on the other hand, countries might want the skilled workers. The longer the war goes on, the more established they could become elsewhere.

Only need term limits for non-proportional systems, like the one seat for president. If Congress was proportional to the national vote, term limits is just an unnecessary complication.

It's not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

Yes, a whole lot of people work hard, and don't get meaningfully compensated for it. But it's not about people on small amounts of welfare vs. the working poor (who also might be on welfare), that's not where you're going to find the wealth that's been stolen.

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

This is the intended outcome of their actions. They'd rather get rid of useful things than allow a society that says it's fine for people to be who they are, because the overall purpose is to make people suffer.
