It won’t help unless you actually put the criminals in jail. Since you won’t do that, drones are useless.

The proposal makes a lot of sense but I can also understand why people feel it’s a shame to say goodbye to such an iconic district. Ultimately NIMBYs will always win. In this case I’m not convinced it’s a bad thing.
While I applaud your efforts and agree with the cause, blind resumes have been studied several times and always lead to hiring fewer minorities. Since most companies now have diversity targets, they are unlikely to implement anything which will negative affect that.
No, you’re right. Between 2009 and 2011, both the left and the right had their popular class movements with Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party. The risk of both sides coming together to attack the rich was too dangerous. Shortly after that we had Obama and other business and political leaders talking about “systemic racial discrimination.” Boy has that divided us. An incredibly effective tool to convince us idiots that race has ANYTHING to do with our differences. Poor people have far more in common with each other than they do with the rich. The trans issue has been injected to stoke the fires more, and everyone has been quick to jump on board.
You know what? If we’re too stupid to see through this obvious charade, maybe this is what we deserve.
Last time I checked, the third highest voted feature request in the built-in feedback tool is to take the recommended section out of the start menu. A couple years after launch the best we got is the product manager saying “we added an option to reduce the size :)” So it’s definitely intended for advertising, and I don’t do advertising. The professional version used to allow people to customise away that kind of bullshit, but not on W11.
I don’t agree. They can reasonably argue that advertising is a requirement of their business model, so it is necessary to advertise. Therefore it is necessary for them to block access to those blocking advertising. The directive cited isn’t intended to make advertiser supported services effectively illegal in the EU. That would be a massive own goal. It’s intended to make deceptive and unnecessary data collection illegal. Nothing YouTube is doing is deceptive. They’re being very clear about their intention to advertise to non-subscribers.
People are still paying these prices. All industries are booming. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour made like $750M. Most countries went overboard on stimulus spending during covid. To the tune of trillions of dollars. That money is still slowly making its way into the economy. I think it will take years to normalise. In the mean time, US debt is at $33T and climbing fast, meaning we should expect QE at some time in the future, exacerbating inflation further.
The prescribed solution to this mess is crystal clear: higher taxes AND reduced spending. Both. At the same time. Very important. Otherwise we should expect inflation and rates to remain high for the foreseeable future.
Which proportion of a platform must be Nazi-free before you will use it? How are you measuring the Nazi percentages of YouTube, Lemmy, Reddit, and Rumble?
You underscore an issue with the left-right paradigm. Not all conservatives are the same either, yet people feel quite comfortable putting Daily Wire and Breitbart into the same bucket.
I was responding to their comment about political alignment:
If you think those are leftwing news sources then you probably need to educate yourself a bit more on political ideology.
The source has nothing to do with credibility.
Good on him for sticking to his ideals. I don’t always see eye to eye with Stewart, but he’s smart, principled, and articulate. Very interesting to hear how Apple is so married to China and AI. I wonder how much we don’t hear because companies and media are afraid of angering the CCP. Thankfully Biden is continuing Trump’s policies of decoupling from China. We can’t do business with genocidal dictatorships and expect to walk away unscathed.
