Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

If you nationalize your industry, you should be doing it to reform and re-gear it to support your country.
Clearly, Putin here is not interested in making it good for the country, but that his petty war has him cash-strapped and needs to forcibly ‘borrow’ his billionaire friends’ assets.
The complicity of many national governments in this genocide, including my own (Canada), will be remembered with disdain.
The US government flaunting its effective tyrannical control of its tech companies are, somewhat ironically, helping the EU get away from that control by being encouraged to swap to Linux and FOSS.
To address your first point. Yes it applies to other software, this initiative applies to games because the “buyer purchases a license to allow the seller to remove your purchase at some indefinite time later” practices have been most prevalent in gaming.
Extending the scope too far will bring in more opponents than allies and muddy the discussion. Getting a decisive answer here will inform laws on how other industries should be regulated in separate but parallel legislative processes.
Parliament will have 7 days after it closes before their planned summer recess. You think they will work that quickly to churn out a boilerplate debate?
In Scarborough, Canada where I grew up, shootings occur once every few years at the malls I go to, a library or neighbourbood park I’ve been to or like yeah even if i don’t get a gun pointed at me in my life, knowing that shootings have happened in places I’ve been to is harrowing to know. In the US, it happens several times a year in many neighbourhoods. Compare Chicago and Toronto, cities of similar size and climate, one has 2726 per year shootings, the other has 461…
When mass shootings happen regularly, and knowing that gun ownership is ubiquitous (rather than largely connected to presumably illicit criminal weapons), active shooter drills are as commonplace as fire drills worldwide, it’s a structural fear, of course we’re not paralyzingly afraid all the time, but it’s built into peoples’ upbringing. The effects bubble up in other areas and affect overall happiness.
If the EU petition makes it, then it will provide the UK petition support too as part of whatever debate goes on about it.
In suburban North America… steps outside you have nothing but roads with cars going 50km/h+, no shops or cafes to walk to because of zoning laws, maybe a small park a 15 minute walk away.
You have to have your parents take you places, you cannot go anywhere alone. In the USA you also have to worry about potential shooters because people play fast and loose with gun laws there.
Don’t “System Sounds” have their own slider? I use Pulse audio on my machine so pavucontrol lets me turn those down. However it makes all sounds quieter.
Find where the ocean theme sound file is, open it in Audacity and just use the Amplify tool to make it a lot quieter (-20dB or whatever, save it as a replacement.
Motorcycle guy from North Vancouver, BC, talking about algorithms? Cool.
Milei has halted most public infrastructure works, helping improve the state’s finances on paper but battering construction activity, which plunged 42% in March, according to official data. At least 50,000 construction workers lost their jobs between November and February, with industry bodies saying it could now be closer to 100,000.
So like most conservative governments, they are breaking the piggybank to make things look good while they are there, and will leave the next government with crumbling and neglected civil infrastructure to contend with.
Not that I am condoning vandalism, but it sounds like OIP was targeted because they are a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit Systems. So profits from this production for Ukraine would go partially to Israel.
That said company ownership is a complex matter (Canadians are grappling with a similar issue whether to boycot Canadian subsidiaries owned by American companies). This action does not do much to harm Israel, it does a lot to harm Ukraine, and to harm the Palestinian cause.
Yeah it happens a lot (well with at least 10 mins more). At my job people are given 40 hours (or more, without overtime) of work to be done, and then call meetings that eat up into those hours, so ending early gives people back the time the meeting took away from them.
For one, servers running Amazon’s ECS/EKS can switch to self-managed Kubernetes.
Even if Trump is bluffing as usual, European governments and local councils should get the hint that the tech hegemony Google Amazon Apple and Microsoft is going to be used as an arm of the US government.
Time to switch! Wololo

Oh the Urbanity, a Canadian couple discussing housing and transit !urbanism@video.canadiancivil.com
The case I know of a company wanting to get the “efficiency” of using chatbots instead of people but not the responsibility of one, is Air Canada. They were held responsible in that case of their AI agent’s policy hallucinations. Though the customer had to go through many hoops to get to that point and probably others were affected without due recourse.
There were at least face-value arguments for it before.
Can we please have a source for the YSK statement you made in the title and the graph?
I have seen data on not having kids being the biggest choice a person can make to prevent future emissions. You also didn’t mention flying less often, or not flying when a reasonable alternative exists. What is the relative impact of all of these things compared to dietary changes? Numbers on that would be helpful.
