They say if you don’t pay, you’re the product, but that’s obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

It’s all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it’s online, it should be available everywhere.

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it’s theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they’d be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google’s, I mean.

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they’re banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It’s not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.

We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people’s work, than what individuals are doing with what they’ve paid for.

Or simply, if someone’s profiting off of someone else’s work, then worry about the rules.

It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

Such a waste not supporting nuclear power since decades ago.

Shouldn’t have renewable energy targets, but deadlines for shutting down all coal power plants, then oil, and production of fossil fuel vehicles, then a cap on the amount of natural gas that can be used.

Right, we need net zero emissions, no further destruction of nature, and then we can start doing something to undo what we’ve already done.

There’s also more freshwater in Antarctica than in the rest of the world. Quite a waste, and enough of it to contaminate every source across the planet.

Of course. Climate change is happening, and will keep getting worse until all the biggest countries agree to do and actually go through with doing something substantial about it (or to fully isolate the economies of those that refuse). Nuclear war is just an idea.

It’s not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

Yes, a whole lot of people work hard, and don’t get meaningfully compensated for it. But it’s not about people on small amounts of welfare vs. the working poor (who also might be on welfare), that’s not where you’re going to find the wealth that’s been stolen.

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

The world has resources, countries have public resources or resources that should be publicly owned, like every source of energy. It shouldn’t be difficult to have a built-in buffer that means everyone’s going to be okay, from public sources of income.

And no child chooses to be born. The world even complains that not enough people are being born, demanding more. Bringing children into the world should mean responsibilities, not just for the parents, but the society that insists on it.

I think at this point it should be 3 six-hour days per week. 100+ years of technological progress increasing productivity, and the number of people’s needs that can be covered by the same amount of work.
