All things considered it seems they got a pretty good deal out of it

Nice of DeSantis to build Mexico an Anti-Fascist Protection Barrier to protect them from America

They are not forcing anything. Nobody has to opt in.

This is exactly what they did with .webp

So basically they’re using their monopoly to force through changes in internet standards? Sounds like the EU will be paying a visit soon.

It’s all about ads/ad money/data, it’s heavily bleeding into a single issue. It’s not like some giant manufacturing company doing shady things with their cars and air conditioners, all the subsidiaries are interlinked. You could say WEI is just a Chrome thing, Google is just their search engine, AdWords is just an ad service etc, but they’re all part of the data to ads to sales pipeline.

There’s no overarching anti-trust conversation to be had because there’s currently no anti-trust cases, if there ever will be. The comments under each individual instance of it being required is the “big conversation”. As a content aggregation site (mainly news) the only place it could realistically occur is under some wishful thinking self-post nobody would care about.

I also saw people pine for trust busting just the other day under some Amazon article, there’s simply nowhere else to post about it at the moment.

Wonder how many international and domestic workers they’ve contract rugpulled, since this will probably be the one that flies under the radar due to all the other issues.

Fediverse about to be eating good

Yeah I think the floor weight is the actual concern and reason it doesn’t happen rather than zoning, but if it’s possible to renovate it within something close to the same cost as starting again, they should renovate it. We need to start taking into account things like the pollution for stuff like this but it not being considered doesn’t mean someone isn’t getting the bill. I don’t think people who would prefer to demolish and start again consider amount of shit that will be put into the air if you knock down a good portion of the office buildings, even if it doesn’t effect much on a grander scale it will effect the actual cities.

Would be interesting if a structural engineer did a video on all the problems and solutions etc of converting office buildings. Maybe even getting away with the bottom few floors on all office big buildings would be a good start.

UK & EU loves this stuff though, so they won’t mandate you have to use a single phone app for everything, but they will slowly remove your ability to do anything without your phone. You’ll just end up with a shittier version of China’s system with a billion shitty apps.

Another reason you’ve not yet been given is that some of these companies have decades long contracts for renting. The government should intervene and cancel the contracts and pay for them to be converted to flats tbqh. Someone will say “But that will cost more than building a new one![citation needed]” but knocking down half the office buildings at once will probably give everyone in the cities supercancer*[citation needed]*

This one has got the lemmy.world turbo redditors upset

In the terminal should do it

Probably search files/run in the start menu, then type dxdiag

That’s what it normally is on Windows, I can’t remember the Linux command

They’re Chinese. They’re from the Republic of China.

It’s not even limited to just guerillas, vigilantes and narcos; the government, army, police, militias, private security etc all start to bleed over as well. In Myanmar some of the state approved border forces are former drug cartels, who even further back used to be communist guerillas, and even further back were ethnic militias. Sometimes they’ve been several of these at the same time, some even all of them at once.

Yeah blaming it for adverse weather is a pretty old thing, I haven’t actually seen anyone mention HAARP in a long time and was thinking about its absence the other day

But there’s no law that governs what a ceo can or can’t do with regard to profit or success, as long as they can show they were acting in the best interest of the company.

This may be technically true but it doesn’t play out like that and can’t due to structural reasons. The situation arose from Henry Ford paying his workers substantially above what was deemed necessary because he wanted the workers to become consumers, preferably Ford consumers, and the shareholders instead wanted the extra bit in those pay packets to go to them instead. The shareholders took Ford to court and won. Now shareholders for the most part aren’t even people or small groups who can be persuaded by things like growing a healthy consumer base in the economy, they’re various large funds trying to simply maximize the amount of money they generate independent of any thought about overall economic health.
