They have those… Currently limited to the web app

Not just populating with content, but also create revenue in some way. Otherwise creators won’t post their content there, they have to make a living from whatever platforms they’re on after all

Good, big tech already has their fingers in too many aspects of our lives. I do not want them to have access to my financial data.

I just briefly went through what’s in the update. It’s mostly visuals and some minor integrations? Or am I missing something?

I think you’re on point with the malicious compliance. Google doesn’t want to give up power and control. Requiring all installations to run through them seems to be their workaround.

Ridiculous cookie wall, can’t use the website

He rightfully points out in the video that even if the data isn’t sold, it could still be leaked and then proceeds to show how insecure the camera systems are. This kind of surveillance infrastructure just shouldn’t exist to begin with.

Check out the Collabra Office android app. It probably covers your needs.

What you describe might be true for Canada, but it doesn’t apply to all universities. Many universities have two primary tasks: research and education. These are two separate tasks with overlap.

I do find it understandable if publicly funded universities place restrictions on how many students they accept per program as it’s their duty to give back go society.

Ugh, this shit again…

Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

That’s an awesome sign!

Shit is also biodegradable, still not great to have in the river (in large quantities)

So there’s a stable inflow and outflow. I wonder what fractions are dead, wounded (disabled permanently), wounded (temporary), and retired (back to civilian life in one form or another, likely traumatized).

Alternatively, Russia is building up a massive army outside of Ukraine. That seems unlikely though, there’s no news about that, I’ll discard that hypothesis for now.

It doesn’t have to be email. Denmark has such a system, called e-boks. It’s essentially your digital mailbox where you can receive most letters from government agencies and banks (no more paper!). Other institutions and companies can use it too (not sure about who can and can’t use, maybe you can send ‘letters’ from one individual to another too?). I think it’s also possible to respond in some cases.

That’s super cool to know!

I wonder what the numbers are like in the context of someone’s total energy consumption. I guess cycling would still be much more efficient because it doubles as exercise.

I think it’s worth noting that Copenhagen doesn’t only have good cycling infrastructure, but also a relatively young and fit population, a population that has grown up cycling, a good public transport network leading to a completion of public transport vs ebike instead of car vs ebike, and it’s very flat. For many people, an ebike can be the difference between a workout vs a regular commute. It might be just what they need to leave their car at home (or not have a car at all)

That’s more or less my point. They won’t come out ahead but at least they won’t have to raise the prices as much so they’ll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don’t include electronics

I’m not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead… Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it’s cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs

I think that’s pretty accurate

My understanding is that these are government to government subsidies, not government to people subsidies. That’s quite different from what the usa is offering

Ooh, nice to know!

It impacts the form factor a bit, but in most projects that’s easy to work with
