Except the lack of government AND the massive amount of pollution and resources waste.

It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?

Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.

It takes years to clear mines after a war, better start early.

To this day, farmers and construction workers are still stumbling upon unexploded bombs from WW2.

I had forgotten about this. Hopefully the mineral deal has a provision that allows sudpending it if the USA stop supporting Ukraine, or throw Ukraine under the bus.

Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, since easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, and are (soon to be) depleted, leaving hard to reach ones. So they’re getting more expensive even without taxing them.

Renewable sources are getting progressively cheaper.

The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.

So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.

The years is 2025, and the USA is betting on early 20th century energy sources.

Guess what happens next.

Ecosystem collapse

A non-zero number of employees scripted random daily prompts to maintain LLM usage stars.

Lab grown meat may increase emissions:

Lab-Grown Meat’s Carbon Footprint Potentially Worse Than Retail Beef

It shouldn’t be produced on mass scale unless we’re confident it would decrease emissions.

Meanwhile it’s better to promote vegarian or flexitarian diets as less carbon-intensive and more ethical options.

Interesting question. Altough trying this with HIV first is a good first choice in term of priority.

They’re not assholes. If this is the work of the federal gouvernment then they’re just following the law.

A work of the United States government is defined by the United States copyright law, as “a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties”.[1] Under section 105 of the Copyright Act of 1976,[2] such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law and are therefore in the public domain.

That’s promising but the cure is years aways, if possible at all.

Until then, keep using condoms and/or PreP.

Further research will be needed to determine whether revealing the virus is enough to allow the body’s immune system to deal with it, or whether the technology will need to be combined with other therapies to eliminate HIV from the body.

The study is laboratory based and was carried out in cells donated by HIV patients. The path to using the technology as part of a cure for patients is long, and would require successful tests in animals followed by safety trials in humans, likely to take years, before efficacy trials could even begin.

Creating a temp folder does not allow to read aloud articles using TTS. That’s the only reason why I use Pocket. I don’t use it to manage bookmarrks.

10 to 100 Times less reliable than WiFi

The Android app has a decent read-aloud feature. Hope it will still works after the service closes. I don’t use it for article discovery, nor for sync.

I’m carefully spending my money by buying less games, mostly DRM-free indie games.

She was immediately placed under expedited removal—a process to quickly remove her without the right to have her case brought before a judge

Mateo’s attorney, Luis Campos, told reporters that when he attempted to visit her at TMC, ICE agents blocked the entrance to her hospital room

Isn’t she being denied the right to a fair trial, which is proclaimed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United States Constitution? And the right to counsel?

I hope the USA see consequences for ignoring basic human rights and the rule of law. Including effects on tourism and foreign investments; fewer people would come to a country or invest in a country that blatantly ignore the rule of law and human rights.

It’s an objective improvement over EMV which doesn’t protect privacy at all.

Taler protect payer privacy while exposing income information. Meaning it can help collect taxes to pay for infrastructure, education, public service, …

That’s a fine compromise. I hope Taler become a practical alternative to EMV and other shitty payment systems being pushed by banks.

Please pay no attention to these distraction.

Do pay attention to the felonies, unethical cuts in lifesaving aid, attempt to undermine democracy.
