I doubt google cares very much.

Imagine if everyone used a browser made by an advertising company.

That's true, but investors have a habit of making their problems everyone else's problems.

There's a "we told you this would happen" going on here.

If chromium didn't have a monopoly amongst browsers, they would have a much harder time pushing this through.

Imagine everyone using a browser built by an advertising company.

Some reuters reporting here.

Prolonged bouts of high temperatures in China have challenged power grids and crops, and concerns are mounting of a possible repeat of last year's drought, the most severe in 60 years.

China is no stranger to dramatic swings in temperatures across the seasons but the swings are getting wider.

On Jan. 22, temperatures in Mohe, a city in northeastern Heilongjiang province, plunged to minus 53C, according to the local weather bureau, smashing China's previous all-time low of minus 52.3C set in 1969.

Since then, the heaviest rains in a decade have hit central China, ravaging wheat fields in an area known as the country's granary.

These few sentences really capture the horror of "climate change", that so many people overlook. Yes "average global temp" might increase by 1 degree celsius, but the really immediately terrifying part is changes to large weather patterns that provide a foundation to gargantuan food production industries.

I live in Western Australia. It's a large state perhaps 3 times the size of texas, but it's very arid and mostly desert aside from the south west corner in which there's a "belt" of land with appropriate conditions for cropping in which 18 million tonnes of grain is grown each year, of which 90% is exported. Suppose this year the state receives 30% less rain, then next year 30% more. Suppose that halves production this year, and washes away some of the dry top soil next year. Hell, we might even receive more rain but just a few hundred kilometers from where it usually is.

Point is, even a mild interruption to established weather patterns is going to have a huge and detrimental impact on human agriculture. It's terrifying really.

Honestly sounds like anon has a "weird" attitude about women and mom is trying to figure it out.

You're all missing the real kicker here - this sign is only here for the HIPAA auditor. Everyone knows that no one is actually going to mute the thing.

Yeah I agree.

It's made me very intolerant of ads. It's kind of surprising how much effort I will invest to avoid ads, and avoid supporting people who make a living from advertising revenue.

“If that’s all that was discussed, we already know all that,” he told the Times. “We have had Australians serving with Americans on U.S. submarines for years, and we share the same technology and the same weapons as the U.S. Navy.”

This is such bs. If a dem had revealed classified information like this rep's would be frothing at the mouth.

There's no need to answer.

Stop whatever it was they detected. Don't do that any more.

It's so surreal that everyone is just zombie walking into this dystopia.

Flawed premise.

Lemmy is not reddit nor should it aspire to be.

We don't want to attract reddit users, we simply want vibrant communities.

This type of attitude results in turds that won't flush like lemmit.online et al - a blight upon our fertile landscape.

Describing Trump as "master at finding value where others do not," Kise attempted to describe asset valuation as a subjective process.

This is a ridiculous argument. Appropriate methodologies for determining values are very well established. Any accountant knows this. IFRS 13 deals with the various concepts at length - it's foundational accounting.

Little bots screaming 1s and 0s at each other really fast at a pitch you can't hear.

Political views aside, the way they promote their political views is unappealing.

Look through any of their popular threads. Everyone piles on any comment which doesn't align perfectly with the agreed perspective.

People who look fit and feel well can be in terrible cardiovascular health without realising.

Also, the damage that accumulates while you're feeling fine is irreversible.

These poor bastards.

10 days would be an eternity. Probably a good thing they're getting some coverage.

Wait, you mean when we genocide people they become radicalised and support whatever organisation with defend them? I'm shocked.

This. Knowledgeable professionals "google" things all the time.

If you need an unusual procedure, would you prefer your surgeon googled it to find a video of some prof explaining it, or a surgeon that just tries to remember.

No, it's a punitive fee.

If you need to use facebook for whatever reason, but refuse to opt in to targeted ads, we will punish you with this fee.

It's pretty masterful marketing by Google really.

They've re-defined privacy to mean "hidden to everyone but google" as in, "google knows everything about me and does a really good job of keeping that information secure".

I'm very quickly becoming old and weird for clinging to the belief that no one, including google, should know anything about me other than things I explicitly tell them, and they should only use those things for purposes I explicitly permit.

Gen Y often talk about "responsible ads". Or threads about "devs need to get paid (through intrusive ad platforms)". It's... exasperating. I got a notification on my Android phone to configure topic reporting for apps a few days ago.
