“Please sir, may the peasants have some shred of justice”
If we didn’t live in corporatocracies masquerading as democracies dozens of decision makers at Boeing, all the way to the top, would be serving life in prison for killing hundreds of people.
It’s in the past bro. It’s not like the government would let corporations get away with a chemical weapons attack on a civilian population nowadays.
The obvious solution to me is sponsorblock switching to sampling pixels out of each frame, like that project that encoded data into video streams (yet resilient to compression), there are algorithms that could fingerprint any ad with an extremely high degree of accuracy. It’d be more complex than the current implementation, but it’d also be more resilient. I’d settle for it hiding the video and suppressing the audio for the ads duration, possibly displaying a countdown timer, vs actually watching the ad. Then Youtube would get paid, but have no way of knowing you haven’t seen the ad, and the metrics around their ad effectiveness would ultimately suffer, so users still win.
You could even go so far as to have the client cache the video, several minutes in advance, dropping all the ad frames, so it’s a seamless experience for the user. I got money, but will spend 10x as much ensuring Google gets less from me. It ain’t about money. It’s about sending a message!
Great job backdooring the entire EU, EU oligarchs. This is so recklessly dangerous to national, regional, and global security that efforts to implement something so authoritarian and anti-democratic should be considered both treason and a crime against humanity; worthy of the Hague and life in prison.
This is the kind of shit Putin or Xi would try to pass if they corrupted the EU’s institutions.
My face when it turns out every multinational corporation is run by criminals.
That’s what happens when you reward criminal behaviour with wealth.
Shut up and drink your verification can!
They know. That’s why they’re been sowing the seeds of fascism around the world — establishing dictatorships is preferable to them than any sort of wealth redistribution.
When people talk about the illegitimacy of democracy under capitalism, this scarecrow and her late husband are why.
How can democracy co-exist in an economic system where orgs are run like dictatorships from the top down, and individuals hold more wealth, power, and influence than entire nation states — despite those orgs employing, and being dependent on, thousands or millions of workers?
He’s so indebted to Putin he won’t care. Supporting Ukraine is not an option for Trump.
The R cult won’t care either, as proven by their consistent support throughout efforts to hamstring weapons transfers to Ukraine. Remember “I’d rather be a Russian, than a Democrat”… When they tell you who they are, believe them.
Just corporatocracy things
That’s how you know we live in oligarchys masquerading as democracies.
National security laws, with vague legalise, that the majority disapprove of? Passed within days/weeks and little debate.
Anything that will improve the lives of everyone except the richest corporations and individuals? Months/years of national debate and a 90% chance of failure!
While power-sector emissions stabilised, the largest source of reductions in emissions in March was the continued decline in demand for steel and cement from the construction sector…
China’s economy is not doing well, especially construction and real estate. It’s not “happening” until there’s a continuous drop in Co2, across many months, and while the economy is stable or expanding.
Use fuse-t for Apple Silicon cryptomator, as recommended on their mac-specific page https://cryptomator.org/downloads/
The issues you’re having are not standard either. Probably best to do a clean install if you’re gonna continue using macOS at all.
Absolutely! The problem is that the title is clickbait and misleading, as it implies a targeted and discriminatory solution to general housing affordability for trans women, which the program is not, and implying such is bad journalism — ragebait for bigots and disenfranchised Australians suffering from decades of conservative/neoliberal social and economic mismanagement.
The reality is that this program is a run of the mill, bare-minimum, bandaid measure (i.e. does nothing to fix systemic housing affordability). The newsworthy part is that this one specifically caters to the needs of the trans women population (what about trans men!?!) already suffering housing insecurity and insufficient support under the existing bandaids — which is a good thing — though a competent government would implement general housing reforms that address the systemic failures, which would help everyone suffering housing insecurity, including LGBTQ+ and all most at-risk groups (and is what should be demanded by voters, rather than more of the same bandaid non-solutions).
Only 7 formerly government-owned properties. It sounds more like temporary/halfway accomodation, like there is for female domestic violence victims (not for male victims though, lol), than a solution to systemic trans discrimination and housing unaffordability.
OP constructed a strawman to attack, because Israels genocide is logically indefensible.
They don’t need a “gene drive”. Planting their GMO seeds in one field is guaranteed to contaminate the neighbouring fields. Then they can sue the neighbouring farmers, and steal both their crops and land.
They’ve been using this tactic in hostile takeovers of farmland since the 90’s.
Calling these things Artificial Intelligence should be a crime. It’s false advertising! Intelligence requires critical thought. They possess zero critical thought. They’re stochastic parrots, whose only skill is mimicking human language, and they can only mimic convincingly when fed billions of examples.
I was thinking about this and imagined the federated servers handling the index db, search algorithms, and search requests, but instead leverage each users browser/compute to do the actual web crawling/scraping/indexing; the server simply performing CRUD operations on the processed data from clients to index db. This approach would target the core reason why search engines fail (cost of scraping and processing billions of sites), reduce the costs to host a search server, and spread the expense across the user base.
It also may have the added benefit of hindering surveillance capitalism due to a sea of junk queries from every client, especially if it were making crawler requests from the same browser (obviously needs to be isolated from the users own data, extensions, queries, etc). The federated servers would also probably need to operate as lighthouses that orchestrate the domains and IP ranges to crawl, and efficiently distribute the workload to client machines.
So the 1984 ruling, and now the overturn, are efforts by a corrupt conservative-stacked court to benefit the conservative political and ideological agenda. I always believed that Americans would never do anything about an illegitimate court dismantling democracy and the rule of law, but it’s still just as comically dystopian to watch it happen in real time.
