Oh, is the 100$/year developer fee not enough? And all the money people pay for their devices? And the 30% cut for any App Store transaction? And the money from the advertisements? Poor Apple needs to ask for even more money to do thei

You're not going to build a long-term stable system that doesn't limit wealth accumulation, because it doesn't take long until all the power is back with everyone you mentioned.

Yet it almost happened in 2020, when there was a lot more resistance against Trump in the US government, and no Project 2024.

Even if the Republican party loses this time, what makes you think they won't find someone even worse than Trump next time? That seems to be the pattern over the last decades. I don't see myself ever being able to trust the US aga

You don't seem to understand that carbon have different effects depending on the molecule and location. You don't even seem to understand that the amount of cattle changes when humans breed more cattle.

The supply of herd animals very obviously isn't fixed. Humans breed them for resources, and since the world population has more than doubled over the last 50 years, the supply of herd animals has also increased a lot. If humans stopped

Plenty of humans have have little ability in your mentioned fields, and animals can show an enormous range of emotions. If those were the only criteria, we'd have little trouble eating e.g. brain-dead people. That's not to discoun

These days, abusing informational asymmetry feels like one of the primary ways for capitalists to squeeze out the last drops from most of their customers base.

You know very well that this is not the totality of available evidence. Why do you expect others to waste their time compiling a list you'll keep jokingly dismissing? If you're serious you could give a specific threshold others co

Are these really the only ways of spending tax income you're aware of?

Because there's literally only one comment by one rich dude! No need to look at any further evidence, case closed!

Oh come on. Laws aren't immutable. If this were an actual issue, you'd easily be able to point out all the previous times similar laws have kept us stuck on outdated standards. For some reason that's never the line of argumen

This is a tired talking point. Yes, they were considering enforcing the most common standard at the time if the industry didn't want to play along. Unless you have evidence that they'd have prevented the industry from suggesting&#

It definitely should be, but this just goes to show that regulations are necessary if we don't want companies to unnecessarily screw with users. It would have been better that way for every user, but it would be worse for people who wa

I've read a few times now that applying reflective foil to the inside using water can lead to broken windows - though I can't remember any linking to statistics or studies, so it could also be false or very rare.

Are these numbers actually based on the same way of counting heat-related deaths? As far as I have seen Europe looks at excess mortality, while the US only counts deaths explicitly attributed to heat-related issues. If there are different m

I try to do the same, but I rarely know which ones get advertised too much due to adblocking. It'd be great if there'd be some directory which lists the big offenders!

by Timon3 2mo ago
On the other hand, brand recognition is fundamentally a function of advertisement. This would mean that the money spent on advertising has to be invested into improving products instead, and without the ad industry actively destroying every

Not only is the current US government on a completely different level of corruption, but it's also actively trying to suppress dissent in increasingly forceful ways. And they're working hard to export this anti-human ideology all

You might have a point if Codeberg banned any and all AI-generated code, but they're not doing that. So why are you expecting them to follow your maximalist caricature of their principles? This complaint follows the same logic as &quot

by Timon3 3mo ago
I don't know, should they? Unless I've missed something, Codeberg haven't mentioned anything like this. You seem to be the only one bringing this strange idea up. So why are you asking me?
203.
by Timon3 3mo ago
This step perfectly aligns with the political direction Codeberg had from the very start. Who are you to now come in and demand they change to fit your political stance? This isn't very cool of you.

You're leaving out the tiny detail that Google, like all tech giants (and like all big companies) is pouring tons of money into politics, and that's just talking about spending out in the open. How much money do you think Google a

Unless you're willing to host vibe-coded projects, you're for sure opting out of society. It says so right on the second page of the social contract. On the other hand, stealing all intellectual works ever created without compensa

It's both fascinating and horrifying that fascist terminology seems to be a huge pull factor for some people.

I could see this working as long as it applies per-level & only takes into account direct siblings, e.g. every epic must have a unique priority, and every feature belonging to that epic must have a unique priority, etc.

I'm not condoning ideas like that of GP, but it literally is a way to force externalities to get priced in. If oil infrastructure kept getting destroyed, the price of refined oil would rise and the investments would shift to cheaper en

The ring can record for 12-15 hours before it's empty. I'd guess it's incredibly rare that people throw away their phone before reaching 15h * 20 = 12.5 days of active screen time.

Doesn't that mean this was doubly effective? Since the electricity generation becomes greener over time, opening later means that the DC will cause less emissions over it's lifetime. And since DC chip TDP trends upwards, the total
