Time to earn some dosh.

I think you’re underestimating how many people want to work for the government for the perceived benefits. I’m saying they have the stuff already set up, in fantasyland it would be a fairly smooth transition.

If we’re talking total fantasyland, I suppose put those employees to work building a government backed alternative or an open platform to allow smaller companies?

Suppose you had a centralized federated system where states or municipalities or even companies could have their own drivers but it’s a common app?

Edit to add you could also have both driver and passenger rate each other and allow both to filter by rating, lower ratings would naturally pay more or less to compensate for the service. I bet in cities you’d have luxury versions of the same services all from the same app, but also cheap shitty services too.

Looks like a dope little device but at that price I think I might be more interested in a Steam Deck.

This would be a welcome development, I feel like social media is something you use tech to do, but it’s very rarely an interesting conversation about the tech itself.

Like how a grocery store has food but you wouldn’t call it a restaurant.

With all due respect you’re ignoring the fact that we’re doing immeasurabley more damage now by refusing to accept nuclear as our baseline source of electricity. You cannot run today’s society without a predictable and reliable source such as nuclear, geothermal, hydro or ff.

The fact is that we SHOULD have been using the tech available to us the entire time to avoid ruining the ecosystem in the ways that we have been. We should be using geothermal and hydro where applicable but that’s not going to work for every scenario, for all other scenarios we would be better off with non-privately owned nuclear power until the day comes when we can store enough renewable energy that nuclear is no longer necessary.

You cannot run a society solely on renewables. You can run a society with zero emissions.

That’s not by accident either.

And people only care enough to do something when their dopamine dispensers stop working.

I also work front end, I’ve had sooo many people give me this shit.

#1 Not advertising. Advertising is what you see before you enter the building. Some stores don’t even have shelf labels.

#2 Do you think someone can walk up to your garage sale and slap their own sticker that says $1 and demand you sell them a TV for $1? No, you can refuse to sell your own shit whenever you want. It’s YOUR shit. You can burn it in front of them if you felt like it.

Reddit still has better porn, for all other things I do not give a f**k.

Resource Wars Volume II is not turning out how I had imagined it.

See Continental Congress 1774-1781:

https://history.state.gov/milestones/1776-1783/continental-congress#:~:text=The Continental Congress was the,years of the American Revolution.

The entity that eventually became the United States of America first “established itself as the official colonial liaison to Great Britain.” So that it could later conduct “diplomacy on behalf of the new United States.”

And what name did I call you? Biased? That’s not a name.

You know, I was wondering when r/sino was gonna make it over to lemmy.

People will choose the most convenient option. It just so happened that, for a brief period, it was more convenient to go through the hassle of installing an adblockers than to sit through the ads for regular users.

The unfortunate reality is that, for some people, moving over to TikTok will be more convenient than watching YouTube ads. Our attention span shrinks a little more, and Google takes one step closer to MySpace.

To put it bluntly it’s a “wait 1-2 weeks for adblockers to update” issue.

Nobody said he was American?

China would eat Russia for lunch and then gloat about it.

It would be a 3 second blurb for him in actuality, the bigger story is the way users revolt in some instances but not others, see Tumblr banning porn vs the facebook analitica scandal. Both of those SHOULD have been enough for a mass exodus but for old people there was no other platform. It’s would have to be framed as an anti-trust kind of thing.
