I'm confident they will fold since there will be a fight. It's already started.

It feels more like vacation days are added on via 'suspended with pay'.

It seems like neither of you read my comment. Like, at all.

I literally agreed with limiting cell phone use, but said why it's not going to be implemented in a meaningful way. And I also walked to school alone and stayed there all day without a phone and survived just fine.

But all it takes is one parent to say they don't like it, which will happen with certainty. And at that point it just becomes up to the individual parents, which of course it always has been anyway since parents can just take a kids phone literally whenever they want (such as while at school)...it's the parents property after all.

There are plenty of humane ways to kill when drugs/sedatives are involved.

In my opinion, the real issue is people won't be satisfied with someone feeling high or relaxed or whatever before dying (if their death was supposed to be a punishment). But those same people also don't want suffering...? It's very confusing to me.

All those rejected applications fees must add up to quite a pile of money for icbc.

It's mind blowing to me that politicians are still pretending it's possible to remove an image from the Internet. But I guess it works and people believe them. Sure they are be able to force some specific websites to remove an image, but that's it. And then it can just be reuploaded by anyone who saved it, or by the original poster who obviously has the image.

And while I agree cell phones are being overused in classrooms/school constantly, that has literally nothing to do with sexploitation. Did he send these intimate photos from the classroom? And in any case, an attempt to outright ban smartphones in school will 100% be instantly overwritten by any parent who demands to remain in contact with their child for safety reasons/emergencies. Just wait and see.

And holding social media companies accountable for what their users do is also pretty silly. Does the government hold Rogers/Telus accountable for when someone calls me and makes a threat via their network? Would that make any amount of sense?

So, is anything at all meaningful being accomplished here...?

If Google specifically denied tracking that's definitely misleading, but I'm unable to find a source for it and don't recall it myself.

Saying that the sites you visit track you would absolutely lead me to believe that search engines sites are included. Since it would not be possible to provide results for the search without knowing what was searched for by the user. And where would they send those results to without knowing the users IP or other form of network address? It just doesn't make any sense to think a search engine would not know who searched for what, since it is required for them to function.

I always saw Google as a website too. So if I type 'giant donkey dicks' into the url/search bar, then Google is obviously going to know my preference for large donkey dicks. Since I googled it.

Or are these hypothetical common folk typing in full urls themselves or something? If it's auto-filling in any way, that's thanks to Google and they can only provide it if aware what has been typed so far.

Aww man I thought I found one! Guess I'm back down to zero people.

[–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

No I just memorize all the ones and zeros. /s

But yes, you are correct. I still feel it's important to remind people that the only alternative to streaming isn't like DVDs or vinyl records or something.

No need for physical media when it comes to file sharing. But if you really hate the environment so much, I guess yeah... sure, physical media accomplishes something.

I haven't deleted any downloaded content in about 17 years now.
