Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

They say if you don’t pay, you’re the product, but that’s obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

It’s all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it’s online, it should be available everywhere.

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

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.

Pay them more, entice more people to work, less workload per teacher.

That’s a weird thing to say. I’d be more worried about whether the refugees will want to go back after the war, to help rebuild the country, or stay in their new lives. As refugees, they may or may not have a choice, but on the other hand, countries might want the skilled workers. The longer the war goes on, the more established they could become elsewhere.

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

Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn’t say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it’s entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.

The “This is why we can’t have nice things” guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you’re portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.

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.

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.

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.
