It’s a fairly well known location

There’s also a lot of negativity.

There’s a Nintendo community. Obviously people on Lemmy really hate Nintendo, so any meaningful comment is overtaken by negative comments and useless discussion.

It’s a more extreme example, but I find the same true for Lemmy as a whole. Sometimes it feels like no fun is allowed.

Netflix made a deal with Rockstar to run a GTA VI ad on Netflix six hours before it’s on other platforms.

“Fan of Trump policies”

Supporting Trump saying his new Antitrust Division appointee will fight Big Tech is not something I’d equate to supporting his policies.

I’m left with a lot of questions though, as the scope of the article is quite limited.

Short-haul flight are banned, so the gains seem obvious. But the article doesn’t seem to detail if they’re actually substituted by rail. Travellers could also be going by car, search for destinations further away, maybe not go at all.

I guess it’s quite hard to find an actual effect from a broader perspective, but if their expectations are true, travellers using rail should have a noticable increase. It’s a shame this is missing in the article.

Basically the article is saying that if you scrap a bunch of flights, emissions by aviations go down. Maybe I’m missing the point, but that seems pretty obvious. I’d like to know what the actual broader effect is of these measures taken.

Imagine telling a friend you accidently didn’t scan an item at the supermarket.

But there was a Ring doorbell nearby that captured the conversation and your identity

The next day, police are at your door to arrest you.

That’s what they’re working towards. They want to eliminate privacy, especially online. Even the most innocent conversation will be taken out of context and used against you. Cases like this woman are being used to desensitize people to it. Slowly they’re “normalizing” this and people don’t seem to care at all.

I don’t use reddit anymore, but I do miss the more niche communities that we’re actually active.

I could swear there was a short time when the movie actually started at the time specified and they just played the ads earlier.

We once ran a trial at work for a lead generation software.

It could show who visited your website, what company they worked for, how to contact them, their socials and even a video of exactly where they pointed and clicked their mouse.

No sign up required, all by fingerprinting.

Shit was creepy as fuck, glad we don’t use it anymore.

It also made me realize fingerprinting is almost impossible to avoid. There’s so many little things gathered to identify you, it seems unavoidable to be traced.

We recently went to one in the Netherlands, pretty great, even though it was cloudy.

Meanwhile people in my fairly rural town cheer when they put up a new light, just because they feel a little bit safer.

CA should be dragged through the mud.

All these laws are creating footing to ease in more draconian laws in the future. Disgusting stuff

Didn’t read I guess? This goes beyond the Californian bill. The NY bill specifically does not allow this.

It’s “foot between the door”.

Once this has been established as “normal”, they’ll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.

Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.

Sounds like they make these laws specifically to arrest you.

“Woops, your dishwasher has no age verification, now we can arrest you and make you confess whatever we want”

I’d be wary of just plugging your phone in a random USB port.

Nah, they just thought the white was the landmass

I wonder if this is because they often use an America centered map

With an API that just runs unauthenticated, I’m unsure what any of these suggestions is supposed to improve here.

My community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.

I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.

It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.

And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.
