I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it’s theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they’d be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google’s, I mean.

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.

It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

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

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

I don’t think we’ve had data limits for wired internet since moving on from dial-up/ISDN. But I’m still waiting for unmetered mobile data. Here all the supposedly competing providers are advertising 100 GB as unlimited. I’d rather pay for a reasonable specific speed with no metering, than have a connection that is so fast it can use up its monthly quota in an hour.

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.

As in, people have literally evolved to be able to drink cow’s milk.

Sure, like a config file to export and import.

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.

If anything, I would say user data should be a lot more perishable than it is. Original content, answers to questions that don’t need to be answered again with a good search system, those are nice to preserve, but every word from every conversation ever?
