Agreed, most of home security is to try and make your neighbours a more tempting target than you. The ethical choice is to do it by making your home a bit more difficult to break into though I guess you could “debuff” the neighbours as well 😉

Or if you have kids they can’t lose their keys if they just have a pin. And that pin can be changed if they tell it to someone.

I wish that he would try his hand on a lock from Yale. Considering that they are part of Assa Abloy who are very well respected in the lock business. My suspicion is that a company who are mainly makers of mechanical locks at least won’t fall prey for the many of the beginners mistakes lockpicking lawyer points out.

Yes but it can do “cd…”

I find it interesting that in Swedish the opposite of sunwise is “motsols”, i.e. counter sunwise or literally “against the sun”. Sunwise is called “medsols”, lit. “with the sun”.

One theory is that the body doesn’t know if the sweetness is sugar or sweetener. So it produces insulin to take care of it. When the level of insulin gets too high the body tries to compensate by eating more. If that “more” is more sweetener…

It amuses me that they believe that people who dislike Trump love Biden. They can’t seem to grasp that you don’t have to be fanatically loyal to the party leader.

I remember the time they called it woke to learn empathy for others in school.

They truly are the “fick you, i got mine” generation.

For all their faults lawyers tend to speak the truth when they get into court. The risk of losing their profession is all too real.

My kids school in Sweden, at least age 6 to 12 have a school day from 8 till 13, or 14 for the older kids, and still no homework.

But long days would be counterproductive. Learning is hard work, that’s part of the reason a new job is so exhausting. Doing that long hours for years would only burn kids out even more.

Agreed. I find it fascinating how hard it is for some people to understand the difference between “lawful” and “morally right”.

As much as I dislike Facebook I really don’t agree with the idea that they should pay for linking to news articles.

One could flip the argument in article and ask if having a post on Facebook is worthless for the newspapers, then why are companies paying Meta for ads on Facebook?

I also feel that this goes against the concept of the internet. If Facebook has to pay then why shouldn’t I when I’m linking to a page from my blog? Why shouldn’t Lemmy?

The problem for the rest of us is that big companies can handle the payment, and they can handle the admin for getting paid. The rest of us won’t get paid but we’ll all have to pay. The barriers for entry will only become bigger and only the big boys will be allowed to play.

I wish that I was that optimistic. The data AI:s are trained on can be just as faulty causing them to have “personal beliefs seep in”…

All these companies, including mine, are super profitable for most part but that is apparently not enough

It can never be enough when you’re worshiping Mammon. Anything less than all and even all it self is too little for them.

That’s great, that’s how it should be done.

Sure, but a good desk or chair can be quite expensive to buy. Sitting badly can really mess you up.

But the transportation of the employee isn’t a problem that an employer care about usually. The costs for office space on the other hand is just a saving that companies pocket and pass over to the employers. That’s why I feel that companies should give a stipend for the office space needed by the employee, including computers and screens of course.

The thing I don’t like is that so much of the cost cutting goes to companies. It’s not just the office space, it’s also furniture, electricity, water and so on.

While the worker save time and costs for transportation they usually don’t get any compensation for the wear and tear of their furniture or the need for extra space for work area.

The militaristic themes and what I feel is a glorification of war makes me uncomfortable. The use of historical glory from war is so common among fascists and nationalist. And no that doesn’t mean that anyone who likes them are, my son for instance like them. But my own personal choice is not to listen to them even though I think that they play good music.

Short answer yes

Long answer it might be a ploy but it’ll most likely work. If nothing else you doing your part gives her more time to be attracted to you.

Yes, I agree with you. A suggestion I’ve might have read on Techdirt is to limit copyright to 5 years with a one time option to extend it for 5 years. Most works lose profitability within 5 years so the only ones impacted would be the most successful and the companies. I’m totally ok with that.

Just imagine what public libraries and streaming sites like Netflix could/would look like if anything from ten years back would be free to share.
