The entire thing is based on their refusal to think anything other than the starting point is equal. When you base your view on that, everything they are crying about makes sense. It explains a lot. They think being gay or Trans is a choice too.

My understanding is salaries are higher in the US in part because of the lack of universal healthcare, and other things that end up coming out of people’s pockets when compared to Europe. I did a little digging on the site, and it does look like salary and benefits are up to 80% of the cost.

I wonder if there are some holes in their methodology with regards to how people are paid in the US vs Europe. Like are they factoring in government benefits of teachers and staff that aren’t part of work like they are in the US. Salary and Benefits is a huge part of the cost, as well as land and construction costs.

Sure, but that’s a different problem.

In an emergency situation it should be illegal. Because too many people want it shouldn’t be. Annoying, shitty, sure. But supply and demand is not getting overturned.

No one needs Wendy’s. A lot of vocal people are annoyed with all this stuff, but I think it’s not their core customers being vocal. I for one stopped going there when their app started allowing me to order, but the restaurant receives a payment failed notice and never makes my food. Been through support multiple times and no one knows anything. Then I tried to relogin and Google login was down for weeks.

The US restricts export of certain hardware for matters of national security too, and doing it through shell corporations would get them in trouble too.

The President does not have the authority to outlaw selling of personal data in general. This is why it’s being limited to a select few countries of concern and not all. There are national security concerns with these countries in particular.

Most of Apple’s AI will run on device and not online, so that’s something.

NIST are the experts guiding the White House.

Find an HOA with conservative leadership and you’ll find all sorts of bs. Worse when they weren’t like that when you bought, but have turned into a MAGA idiot and reject anything green on principle.

Minorities in general. Some of the first HOAs excluded Blacks, Jews, Asians, etc in literal writing. It took a SCOTUS case to overturn.

And they meant men too, not women.

But really they meant White Male Landowners with money.

That’s 99% of the reason we use HDMI…

So what, nuke it and start over? How do we destroy the bacteria and still have the majority of our walls standing?!

You’re describing AI. We are in the get rich quick period of AI usage.

DRM is mandatory in any spec you expect content owners to support. We don’t have to like it, but it’s absolutely not going away.

LastPass hack happened due to a developer logging I. On their home PV which had an outdated and vulnerable version of Plex installed. Swap outdated for “maliciously forked” and now attackers have legit code that can run for months before they use what they’ve injected to take over.

You leftists and your proof /s

You nailed my issue with the fundamental idea of lemmy. It’s like having a party at ten people’s houses with a tenth of the normal amount of guests.
