I mean I agree that AB testing is normal, and not really anything to start clutching your pearls about.

Yet again Lemmy shows that much of the userbase is young and has little general knowledge.

But this is a pretty patronising statement, mate.

Wow that is one extremely aggressive response to what I thought was a relatively sensible comment. I'm sorry if I upset you.

It's not whatsboutism, it's a question of scale. Attention is a finite resource, and I think you should place it where it matters most.

There is a post-colonial dimension to Grindadráp that is rarely mentioned by the media. And that matters more to me personally than the lives of the whales.

It's the same story every year. And it's a bunch of pearl clutching second grade journalism, if you ask me.

These are animals that have lived free, beautiful lives in their natural habitats. Then they are killed and eaten, with no deliberate cruelty involved. Circle of life.

If we want to reduce animal cruelty, look towards the massive scale of factory farming, not at the 700 animals that are hunted by a small indigenous community.

Jeg er enig i at de to har mere karisma end TLP, men de er i mine øjne også begge for usympatiske og arrogante til nogensinde at kunne få bred folkelig opbakning.

Hvilke politiske platforme mener du egentlig? De er begge komplet optimistiske i mine øjne. Hverken MMs remigration eller AVs kernekraft synes jeg er ret troværdige politikker. Selv hvis man syntes det var fornuftige ideer, er de begge både praktisk og økonomisk umulige at gennemføre.

I don't know, I don't share your pessimism. In my personal experience, most hardware isn't unhackable. Apart from iPhone / iPad (where hardware and software are non-standard, and also made by the same vendor) I struggle to find any examples.

I have installed Linux many times on Chromebooks, where there is some BIOS module that checks for OS "authenticity", but that can be disabled. I have flashed ROMs on android devices many times too. It's sometimes a bit inconvenient, but nothing remotely close to impossible.

The classroom runs on Chromebooks, Google Classroom, and code.org (AWS). Corporate infrastructure top to bottom.

This is so dystopian. Get the kids hooked on XaaS while they are young, and you'll have a customer for life.

I'm so happy I live in a welfare state, and gee I hope we manage to make the switch away from the US big tech monopoly.

While this is certainly interesting news, I am somewhat sceptical of the number which corresponds to about 1/5 of the country's population. I have been looking for another source, but it's not clear where that number comes from. Maybe the unions have reported it?

The UK has some fairly obvious issues with democracy, like when hundreds of XR and Palestine activists are being routinely imprisoned for exercising their right to assemble. Conservatives have been in power on the UK until very recently and these illiberal developments are their doing.

Steve Forbes is part of the national conservative oligarchy that has allowed those attacks on democracy to happen in the first place. I do think the source of information matters. Words are power, and his words are poison.

Come on, that's not serious journalism. It's an opinion piece written by a notorious conservative American media oligarch. Cherry picking examples to support some kind of anti woke narrative. Pull the other one.

The UK is the European country that has most closely attempted to emulate American national conservative capitalism, and what a shit show that has been.
