This sounds like a flawed plan. The main issue is not greedy landlords, it’s lack of supply. In a market economy everyone is greedy, all actors always try to maximize their profits. The reason why housing prices are so high is because the demand is too high for the given supply, not because landlords are somehow especially greedy. Rent control has never worked, and renting does offer a service for some people that they prefer to buying a house. Now I will admit the housing is a bit different than other markets as it’s highly location dependent and it’s easier to have at monopoly in an area if you buy a lot of properties, so perhaps there should be some crack down on land that lords with large swaths of property, but this plant to me sounds flawed.

Ngl this is like YouTube is scared of Vimeo, they don’t care at all. Lemmy is such a laughably small percentage of their user base that they probably couldn’t care less.

Some do, have one that does it, was useful once because I locked myself out of the house and was able to reach in and open that door from the outside.

What do you mean by the mechanism is the other way around?

Same, this is the default in Croatia

I feel like it’s a testing ground for new features for them, but not sure why some aren’t yet integrated. Best guess: the PowerToys team has less red tape and checks to go through than the Windows team to allow for faster iteration, but that means that integrating the features wouldn’t be just the click of a button since they’d have to adapt it to fit the Windows style. But this is just a wild guess.

Sure, I get the biology and technical aspect of it and I can understand that something could evolve whose atoms would move in such a way that it results in an object that is capable of responding dynamically to its roundings, plan and think. But for that collection of atoms to then result in this experience, I feel is extraordinarily exceptional.

The weirdest thing to me is that it’s literally impossible to measure and detect whether something has consciousness. Every other thing in our universe can be measured theoretically, even if not by our current tools, but there is no way to confirm that someone else is experiencing what I am experiencing currently. It’s just so weird.

I don’t believe in God nor am I religious, but consciousness just feels so fucking weird man. Everything in the world can be explained through science and physics, cause and effect, hell even our brains and actions are just a chain of atoms interacting. But consciousness just feels so out of place. Why am I? Why am I even aware of my own existence? Why has a set of atoms resulted in my non-material consciousness? It feels so out of place. Why isn’t it just a bunch of atoms bumping into eachother, why am I capable of feeling and thinking?

How would it look if you intermingled Hebrew and English in the path? E.g. C:\English\Hebrew\Hebrew\English\Hebrew

I don’t think smart glasses are going to be completely standalone anytime soon. Chip technological progress has been relatively slow in the past years, and I think we’re plateauing a bit with how much you can physically shrink transistors. Maybe there will be a technological breakthrough that will allow much more powerful chips at much smaller sizes, but I feel that’s not gonna happen in any sort of near term. I think glasses are going to become companions for phones and that most processing will be done on phones. As for my thoughts on the glasses themselves, I don’t really know what I think about them. I would be much more comfortable if they were completely locally processed without touching the cloud, but even then it is a bit weird to constantly have cameras looking at you all the time.

Honestly, I don’t see how either solution can work. In a two-state solution, Palestine doesn’t look like it would be functional with those kinds of borders, and in a one-state solution, I don’t see how there won’t be extreme ethnic conflict after everything that’s happened.

Man has never heard of a hill. If I tried to commute on a bike in my city I would fucking die.

Dumb phone features are about 5% of what I use on a daily basis on my phone.

He’s pro whatever gets him more votes, and people are still mostly pro vaccine

Honestly, from what I’ve seen, I actually agree with Macron here. France’s debt is unsustainable, something needs to be done, and nobody wants to do anything. Both Le Penne and Melenchon are calling for policies that will increase the debt burden, yet any attempt to reduce it is getting struck down at the mere thought. A retirement age of 62 in a country with an average life expectency of 82 (and many people living over that) is crazy to me, especially at a time when there are more and more old people compared to working-age people. That isn’t sustainable, but any mention of raising it gets insane backlash. You can’t really raise taxes much more, they’re already high, you can for wealthy people, but that will only go part of the way, and with the new NATO targets, if nothing is done, I feel like France will become another Greece.

I’m not quite sure I understood what you were talking about, but they specifically showed their revenues from YouTube AdSense for the past year or so, and they showed exactly how much they gained from each video, and it shows basically a straight line, whilst the same graph for viewers shows a substantial decrease. I’m not sure if that was specifically for LTT or for all of their channels, but I’m assuming it was just for LTT. That has no relation to them then splitting their revenues to their different channels.

He will look for answers literally anywhere, except for within.

The tech scene is just not as interesting anymore

He has literally publicly talked about this many times, he is very much aware of this fact and has stated that he’s always looking for things that he can try and make interesting.

and the stuff he specifically covers is even less interesting. But the bigger issue is that everything LMG do is just corporate jank. It was fun when it was home garage jank, with 2 employees, but now it’s just miserable and frustrating

On this part, I honestly don’t quite get it. It’s definitely a bit more corporate now, they are a 100 person company, but when it comes to the videos, I don’t really see what else you’d want them to do? Sure they have some sponsored videos every now and then that are just showcases of a specific product, but even then I typically find them relatively interesting. And they still have a lot of videos where they’re trying to build novel stuff and thinkering. Yeah, sure, it’s typically on a higher level than what the average Joe would be capable of doing in their backyard, but I still feel like there’s a place for it. Take one of the more recent videos, the one with the double-decker table. It’s extremely cool to me, they took a regular table and a sit-to-stand desk, put one on top of the other, and made effectively two desks in one, one for gaming and one for a hobby. It’s not something I’d build for myself, but it’s a really fun concept.

The more interesting part for me, that they mentioned on the WAN show, is that while viewers dropped significantly, the revenue basically hasn’t changed. They’re more or less making the same amount of money from half the amount of reported viewers.

From what I see in the article it seems it’s a classic case of Croatian public sector IT being incompetent. But it doesn’t seem to be that big of an issue. They were only created for internal testing and were immediately revoked. It’s still not good, but the opportunity for exploit here to me seems extremely low.
