All Sony’s characters are boring and generic what could they possibly talk about.

We(average people) dont choose to offshore those companies. We only wanted to stop climate change.

Everything went offshore because the world’s countries added regulations and policy to try reduce emissions and manufacturing became cheaper in china because they did the opposite and raced to the bottom. China was in climate talks at the same time and was more than developed enough to have been making similar changes. Instead they went in the opposite direction. Intentionally deflating currency, scaling coal,mass deforestation, lying about emissions and policy direction.

Why would i ignore all that and blame individual international companies that are just trying to make and sell product? Thats nitpicking tiny parts of a large problem.

If its ok for china to do what they did then why is nz implementing climate policy? What’s the point we hurt ourselves for a 1% reduction only to have china increase emissions by more than out total emissions in a single year. If thry do make changes no one should and they didn’t. We are fucked unless china can actually make a serious reduction in emissions which thry seem completely unlikely to do in the next 5 years.

A company moving their steel plant offshore is a negative for that country. So the country isnt going to want to drive it out just to brag about a co2 reduction. The company might brag but so what. If the company wants to claim 90% reduced emissions by getting rid of their steel mill to a subsidiary company thats a different more.pointless argument imo.

China gets a huge advantage from having the steel plant in their country and the wildest part to me is that people will even defend them when someone points out that they are already polluting a ton and should take measures to reduce pollution instead of subsiding coal plants and more steel mills.

Those same people will turn around and say nz needs to axe its own industry to reduce emissions even though our emissions are tiny and not spiraling out of control. Its the most cucked stance and causes me psychic damage.

No I dont think thats equivalent. Climate change emissions is an issue that needs to be addressed on a country scale. We dont blame individuals for climate change.

Its fine to let the blame rest on china for their own emissions. They intentionally choose that route.

If a company comes to new Zealand their emissions are regulated by the nz government and nz is responsible for those emissions. In no reality would we blame another country.

Actually western countries are completely blameless here. Why would western countries be blamed for Chinese emissions? Western companies could be blamed sure but when it comes to climate we expect this to be handled at a policy level. When we look at this issue we see that Western countries did make policy changes that hurt their manufacturing and growth in pursuit of better climate change outcomes but china didnt. So when it comes to blame no one forced China to undercut manufacturing by artificially deflating their currency, lying about climate change goals and having no environmental regulations. China could have implemented environmental regulations and labour laws on par with the west. They could have started transitioning to renewables a decade and a half earlier. They choose not to and they choose to scale coal knowing the damage they are doing to the world.

Hell they still lie about their climate change impacts and sponsor green washing propaganda media overstating their progress. Their emissions graph looks like the stock market and when it drops .8% “people” act like its about to come crashing down.

There is no way we would talk about this the same if Europe got rid of their min wage,labour laws, environmental laws, and invested in non clean energy and manufacturing.

Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.

What’s a good peertube instance that federates with a lot? I tried tldvids but its got like 2 regular uploaders and i cant find most channels I search for.

A ton of PvP games that I can’t play because I’ll want to get good which means spending a ton of time then once I’m good I won’t want to play anything else. Counter strike, StarCraft.

Imagine not predicting 2026 the year of the linux desktop

So you basically hold them to a higher standard than google, apple, Microsoft, cisco, Amazon. Because theyve all had outages cause by certs expiring.

Its a common issue and its not a huge deal. The package manager cert was a big outage but their wiki website cert is the most minor shit ever.

No because the expectation is they won’t do common sense issues so its based when thry finally do

The popular tankie influences have soured a bit on him and that sentiment flows down. I think Mamdani said against the protestors shouting globalize the intifada outside of a synagogue which pissed off tankies.

Based. Good to see him going for common sense easy issues to keep people engaged while he works on the harder to tackle issues.

I get new artists recommended to me all the time. Every one of my discover weekly playlists has a song from someone with under 5k listeners.

You are obviously trolling since there is not way you could know I’m “factual wrong” since neither of us have facts on the Spotify algo and you clearly have no idea how the world works.

Maybe your friend who is a “small artist” should leave Spotify and return once they have listeners or make music people enjoy.

Can we be clear that we aren’t talking about new artists. New artists will probably make the 1000 steam metric and get their $6 of revenue. Were talking about artists who cannot make 1000 views in a year after uploading for a years.

Its a small team and those are mistakes. We can find hundreds of examples of major companies with IT teams in the 100s making those same mistakes. The solution was figured out by the team and fixed. The original version of that GH page that most people remember was much longer but its been significantly reduced as most of the claims were disputed and the author had to reel back their claims or remove them outright. Now whats left is just a few pedantic complaints.

With arch they make those mistakes less but they shift a lot more configuration onto the user and when those mistakes get made they dont need to take any blame because it was the user who made the mistake. Arch has pushed updates that have broken bootloaders how many times? I’d consider that to be catastrophic failure on any distro except arch where i think its fine as the user should be able to fix their bootloader pretty easily.

They are compensated for the value they create. If their music cant break 1000 streams in a year its creating no value for spotify. This is an agreement they are fully aware of and they choose to still put their music on spotify. Spotify offers a ton of value to these artists and only gets returns on that investment if the artist actually makes good music.

When we look at who is winning/losing for an artist making music that cant break 1000 streams its spotify losing. They have unpopular unwanted music taking up space and shitting up their recomended algo. Everytime they show that music to someone its a risk that the user has a bad experience. But the artist is still given the chance and to the artist thats extremely valuable far more valuable than a few cents.

How do you feel about adblock and piracy? I’d argue that we dont have to compensate people for every little thing and i’d use that as an example.

Yes its weighted on popularity but that doesnt mean it never shows new music to people. By putting your songs on Spotify they will recommend your music to people and if thry like it they will show it to more people. If you’re getting under 1000 streams in an entire year then no one likes your music. There is no other way to interpret that. No one likes your music, it holds no value to Spotify. The 1000 streams is just a fraud measure to try and weed out scammers because it should be easy to pass for a serious musician.

If you think Spotify provides no value dont upload music there its that simple.

Most of that is pedantic. Its a solid distro with a sane out of the box configuration. However you shouldnt use the AUR on it unless you know what you’re doing.

They are providing infrastructure, hosting and a recommendation algorithms for access their 700million users. Thats a fair trade for someone who gets no streams.
