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.

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.

Russia really should reconsider whether it’s worth parking their fleet in a foreign country.

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.

Only need term limits for non-proportional systems, like the one seat for president. If Congress was proportional to the national vote, term limits is just an unnecessary complication.

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

This is the intended outcome of their actions. They’d rather get rid of useful things than allow a society that says it’s fine for people to be who they are, because the overall purpose is to make people suffer.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but that’s how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.

There needs to be a legally mandated option to turn off all recommendations and tracking, and to require consent to enable it in the first place.

Fuck no, no sacrifices. Productivity is up, wealth is up, people should be paid more for their time and have more time to spare.

Every position cut/not filled should mean an equivalent pay increase for everyone who has to pick up that slack, or that that slack is left where it is.

I don’t think we’ve had data limits for wired internet since moving on from dial-up/ISDN. But I’m still waiting for unmetered mobile data. Here all the supposedly competing providers are advertising 100 GB as unlimited. I’d rather pay for a reasonable specific speed with no metering, than have a connection that is so fast it can use up its monthly quota in an hour.

I’m not a big fan of animal agriculture, but I don’t get why milk is singled out, as if we don’t consume the dead bodies of animals, bodies that weren’t “meant for” anything other than sustaining itself.

And we’ve been doing it for thousands of years, selectively breeding and domesticating cows for the purpose. Humans drinking cow’s milk is more natural than carrots being orange.

As in, people have literally evolved to be able to drink cow’s milk.

Sure, like a config file to export and import.

Such a waste of public resources, to not develop (or fund) free and open tools for everyone, instead of paying for temporary licenses for closed software.

If anything, I would say user data should be a lot more perishable than it is. Original content, answers to questions that don’t need to be answered again with a good search system, those are nice to preserve, but every word from every conversation ever?
