The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can’t imagine that they’re making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I’d love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

I get what a lot of you guys are saying about Starmer and the Labour government not being as left wing as Corbyn. I would also like someone who would use this majority to implement some really hardcore leftist policies.

But please can we just take a step back and look at what he wants to do:

• Massive amounts of NHS funding

• Nationalised green energy

• Tax private schools

• Allow regulators to hit company executives with criminal charges

• Nationalise the railways

• Increase the minimum wage to a living wage

• Free school meals

I don’t know about you, but that seems at the very least, left of center. Sure, he’s not making drastic sweeping changes right off the bat. But this country needs an era of stability, whilst we make small but consistent steps in the right direction, and that’s what Starmer will give us

The people who are more likely to retain a PC and not just use a phone, are more likely to be tech literate power users.

This selects against casual windows users, and selects for hardcore Linux users

I’m not sure where you’re going with that? I would argue that yes, it is. As it’s sexual material of a child, with that child’s face on it, explicitly made for the purpose of defaming her. So I would say it sexually abused a child.

But you could also be taking the stance of “AI trains on adult porn, and is mearly recreating child porn. No child was actually harmed during the process.” Which as I’ve said above, I disagree with, especially in this particular circumstance.

Apologies if it’s just my reading comprehension being shit

It takes a lot of energy to send them back in time

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die

Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens

You too, it’s always nice to have productive polite discussion

That if you make a black and white statement with no nuance, it inevitably turns out to be stupid.

Freedom fighters are often branded terrorists. But not all terrorists are freedom fighters

Sorry, but why do you think that (§616 BGB) should be able to be voided by an employment contract?

I would get a Galaxy Tab if the E-Ink isn’t vital for you. But otherwise it’s a very capable E-Int tablet, and it running Android means you can do anything on it you can an Android tablet.

The real killer is the latency though, for most things it’s pretty bad, except in Boox’s own apps where it’s so damn quick it feels like writing on paper.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but if it is what you want then it’s easily best in class

I have a Boox Ultra C. It has the same screen, I can confidently say the colours are utter shite for any kind of colour sensitive work or media. However, they’re more than good enough for conveying information, like different coloured lines on a chart.

The colours also look sharp as fuck, as the grey scale is still used for brightness, and the colour just tints it. Meaning it looks a lot sharper than 150ppi and almost indistinguishable from 300ppi

The UK has some of the worst housing issues in Europe, yet the amount of houses (dwellings) per person has slightly increased since 2001

21,210,000÷59,113,0000=0.35 Houses per person in 2001

24,930,000÷67,350,695=0.37 Houses per person in 2021

Yet rents and house prices have absolutely skyrocketed. Supply exceeds demand, it’s just greed, long term empty investment properties and government inaction.

I 1000% agree, the asset class won’t give up their wealth. But to say it won’t happen because it’s not possible is wrong.

It won’t happen because a small minority of ludicrously privileged individuals, who treat the Forbes Billionaires list as a leaderboard, are too fucking greedy to only live an amazingly luxurious life instead of a ultra super duper amazingly luxurious life.

I think it’s downvoted because of a defeatist attitude. I agree with the highly downvoted top comment on a factual level, I’m not sure who wouldn’t

They can just hire more staff. A lot of service jobs are part time anyway. There’s nothing having multiple rotas and more staff can’t fix

Willingly is a strong word when the housing market is so fucked

I agree with you, but want to point out that not using offices is just perceived as wasting money. They don’t actually lose any money if the office is used or not, they might even save money on utility costs and supplies. It’s just sunk cost fallacy.

The point is that literally right now houses are not being 3D printed to a good enough standard that we would even think about replacing workers.

It is also true that technological progress will change that sooner or later.

I don’t think there’s a disagreement here

The company should be able to determine that your productivity isn’t good enough by the work you produce. Not micromanaging the keystrokes per minute.

If your work is really so unimportant that slacking off for 4+ hours a day isn’t noticed, they should be making you redundant. Not forcing spyware on every innocent employee
