Its a low pressure, low oxygen, cramped environment that can complicate existing issues a lot more than some people realize.

I know of someone who died because a really bad freak ear infection ruptured at altitude and they bled out before the plane could land.

Its not like planes aren't safe, its just that high risk individuals and situations need extra precautions.

They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That's why they keep making the interface worse.

It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

It's also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

Plus Biden attempted to block any more aid for Israel and the Republicans rammed it through anyway.

DVD players used to be (probably still are?) region locked, and those didn't require internet service either. The region was either hard coded or could only be changed like 5 times.

It was an attempt to enforce geographic licensing fees and stop piracy.

That's normal programming.

This is the biggest problem right here. We have set up what was a false dichotomy into one that has now forced itself to be real. I don't want Biden or Trump in office, but to vote for anyone other than Biden waters down the vote and gives Trump the ability to compete.

My only choice is to vote "not Trump". Biden gets my vote, but its not "for Biden".

This case is bullshit, as you already stated. The problem is that the purpose of it is to lay the groundwork for medical professionals to deny service to "ungodly" people.

And religion + racism + fear of the unknown + social echo chambers can all be exploited. Remember that MTG floated a few years ago that space lasers caused California forest fires. Never mind the power requirements and ridiculousness that would require.

I think the woman is dangerous as hell, but I don't think she's stupid. I think she uses dumb ideas to mobilize an ignorant base.

Uhm... Yes. Like a lot.

1. Fine, let the people who apparently have no concept of foresight turn Reddit into a cesspool.

2. This is clearly about cashing in on machine learning at the expense of your users. Maybe you should self reflect a bit before your entire website is produced and consumed entirely by machine learning.

I mean... Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

I agree, but I also have serious concerns about this being the replacement strategy. It could be because of my ignorance of how this all works though. Like many of you, I am new and here because of the reddexodus.

These servers are going to cost money, and for many of them the money will run out. Is there a function to preserve the collective content of an entire server once it goes dark? I know that you can migrate your own account to another server, but what happens to everything Google has indexed at Lemmy.world if the worst happens? Is it all just dead links? What if many of the users do not migrate? Is it just gone?

I am concerned that in the current state we are setting up to burn everything that loses a couple admins or becomes too old to economically host.

Kagi can go fuck right off with whatever guerilla marketing program keeps constantly putting it in my face.

It's clearly not organic growth, and I will never try it because now I don't trust it.

Because Tesla was fixing significant safety issues without reporting it to the NHTSA in a way that they could track the problems and source of the issue. The two of them got into a pissing match, and the result is that now all OTA's are recalls. After this, the media realized that "recall" generates more views than "OTA", and here we are.

30% is widely considered to be the most you should pay for a living space in order to live a sustainable lifestyle and retire comfortably. It even says in the article that they consider anyone that has to pay more than that to be "cost burdened".

It usually breaks down somewhere around 30% on housing, 20% on necessary bills, 30% on wants / unnecessary bills, and 20% on retirement investments / savings.

The fact that nearly half of renters cannot do that is the problem that they are trying to highlight, but it doesn't offer much of a solution. These people will not be able to retire without public assistance (if they can at all), and will likely run into serious struggles long before then.

*removing yourself from the gene pool

Death is not required.

Leanbeefpatty is also actually natty, which I think is why I still find her hella attractive despite the fact that she could probably snap me like a twig.

Steroids are effective, but I personally don't usually like what they create.

That's just straight up Unix, the mother of it all.

It translates to this meme template.
