This. I’d rather blame the lying billionaires than some Joe Shmoe that doesn’t have the capability to defend himself against the constant barrage of propaganda.
Division is part of their plan, and they want you to be angry at Joe the sucker, not them.
Probably not even strange to them, it’s just the nature of science journalism these days. If it’s not strange and new, it doesn’t turn eyes, and therefore there’s little incentive to write about it.
Yeah, exactly. If you’re worried about the power draw to host a few hundred KB PDF file, you probably shouldn’t be using Lemmy, because scrolling through your feed probably uses 100x that in energy costs.
You have to remember that the shared hosting or aws, or wherever is going to be cheapest to host a simple website is also going to be very power efficient. Wasting power is just throwing away free money, and if there’s one thing corporations don’t do, it’s throw away free money.
You might enjoy SecScannerQR then. It makes it easier to vet QR codes by giving an option to search for the URL instead of going there directly.
I don’t mind the whole online menu thing. It’s probably an environmental net positive, but it’s bs if they don’t have ANY physical copies for those who can’t or don’t want to for whatever reason.
If they wanted me to install something, though, that’d be a 100% instant nope.
They really did go for the “horror movie about to go very wrong” aesthetic when they made those videos, didn’t they.
Ontario’s NDP and Liberals are both pledging tens of billions of dollars in new spending to pay for their campaign promises, but are taking different approaches to the other side of the ledger, with the NDP proposing wealth taxes and the Liberals eyeing “efficiencies.”
Sounds like more austerity and tax cuts from the libs. They really want the cons to win I guess. Hopefully they aren’t thinking about some sort of department to oversee these efficiencies…
The concept that the liberals think they can materialise $28B out of thin air is laughable.
I’m all for higher taxes on the very wealthy.
Well, you USED to be able to, anyways, but they’ve slowly moved to a less customisable ui. Now you have to use extensions from outside websites to even do simple stuff like have a multi-row tab bar.
Not to mention Firefox seems to break them every year or so.
Also, keep in mind, google has been caught slowing Firefox down in YouTube before. So if you notice any slowness in their services, it’s fair to suspect it might not be Firefox’s fault.
Ahh good, let’s put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it’ll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won’t have any unforseen consequences.
It seems to not RTFA is a time honoured tradition we’ve carried with us from Slashdot, to reddit, and now to Lemmy.
There’s no way that 29% of Trump voters are rich. It’s more likely that some have bought in to the rhetoric so completely that they won’t ever understand the implications even if it kills them.
