Imagine the disappointment of going to meet your crab brethren only to discover they’re not actually crabs.

He can just pile all the dead birds carcasses in Central Park. Surely that’ll help.

“Shrinking workforce” translation: “Wages not keeping up with inflation.”

No.

Why are we listening to what some American economist has to say? It’s a public service, not a business. It’s not there to make money. It costs money to deliver packages to remote locations, which Canada has plenty of.

Comparing Canada to UK, Belgium or Germany is nonsensical, as they don’t have similar geography or population density.

Good morning ❤️

Feel free to bury yourself in my fluffy tail!

Do you bite your thumb, sir?

Broccoli in Thai curry is the way! So good!

I feel like we maybe shouldn’t give guns to bears

Personally, my last holdout on my desktop is VR, and I’d rather not dual boot.

My laptop has been running Linux for years now, although I’ve been having some issues with it lately, possibly due to repeated in-place upgrades, so I’ve been thinking of switching away from mint to a rolling release distro. Although, I have to say, NixOS’s philosophy is really compelling.

I mean, ultimately I’m just a user making a suggestion, of what sort of approach seems fair. I’m not certain what a reasonable time (or traffic) limit would be, exactly. I think if you were to make a suggestion to the admins, they’d likely accept it so long as it’s reasonable.

Searx is a meta search engine, which uses google by default as well. If you’re going to use it, you should probably go into the settings and turn on a bunch of other search services as well.

One of the benefits is that if you use a public instance, it’ll act as an anonymiser for google so they can’t track you as well.

The shape of that curve scares me. I just hope it’s a sigmoid curve, not an exponential.

My last time talking to them, they were arguing that the use of the word “exploitation” in the vegan society’s definition of veganism simply meant “use” because that’s a thesaurus entry for exploitation. When their argument breaks down they go full on “words are just invented”.

“The act must be committed with the intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.”

These CEOs are quite literally trying to kill us for profit. This is class warfare, and they are the aggressor. They are not civilians, and the terror is not directed at the population or the government.

Yeah, thank you for the clarification. Re-reading my comment, I realise I didn’t do a very good job of expressing this, as I didn’t mean to imply V@LW was a community for debate. Just that a polite question might be fine there, so long as it comes from a genuine desire to learn, instead of trying to make an opening to disagree.

This is something I kinda wish was a more common feature: a robust tagging system. That way you could just opt in/out of the tags you don’t want to see. Reddit kinda sorta had a partial solution, but it always seemed tacked-on.

Of course, there are a lot of difficulties to make a good tagging system, and it requires either centralisation or coordination. The former goes against lemmy’s decentralised philosophy, and the latter requires a lot of extra moderation/admin work.

Lmao, I didn’t look too closely at the characters and thought it was just Arabic script. That’s super cool!

This is pocket change for billionaires. $1 million is to Sam Altmann is as $175 is to the median American household. It’s like buying a pair of Airpods.

For now, Donald Trump is the puppet here, and the million is the cost to pull the strings.

I’m not sure if they’re aware of this thread, but I think the important part would be to notify them of the intended consequence. The point of the deadline is so that the other party is incentivised to implement compliance in a reasonably timely fashion.

Otherwise, the arbitrary date of now isn’t much different than that of a few months later.
