They should at least replace the fields producing corn ethanol. Saves the recurring cost of producing the energy, and reduces the emissions of both harvesting and burning.

Huge swathes of land are used just to burn the output.

It makes sense. Protocols are defined before services can be implemented on them.

What the article is say is, rather than trusting a service provider to protect your privacy, stick to using services you control, on open protocols that can communicate with external service providers.

If everyone does this, the government needs to knock on a lot more doors to force compliance. And if a node on the protocol chooses to shut down instead of complying, the service as a whole isn’t disrupted. Just the users on that node. And they can control migration to a different node.

Something something felon...

Speaking of atrophying skills…. Couldn’t make it past one paragraph to reach the critical part of the article.

I think the journalists themselves are stuck in the same place a lot of us. Working for someone they can’t support morally, because they owe money and need a paycheque, and every place they could move to will likely have the same problem.

The issue is with the owners.

Any idea that if actualized into government policy, that would lead to increased rates of harm for people, is in fact a harmful idea.

However, if the work is political, religious, or economic, and you can't separate that, this is completely understandable on some levels

The key issue I had with this is, is sometimes the work itself is none of those things, but the artist is.

Specifically in the case for a certain magical school and the author of said work.

If the work is being commoditized to promote harmful ideas, then no matter how good the art is, it should be shunned.

If the art is good but the artist used to have problematic views or opinions, then that’s different.

I dislike that slime ball as much as the next person, but I’m sure they are moving away from the shooter, so he’s shielding her more than the other way around.

You have it backwards. Trump is the useful idiot by which the religious extremists are getting their agenda successfully implemented.

Or maybe we give up on an economic model that requires unending population growth? Since you know, we live on a finite planet?

We have to find a path to degrowth. Stop repeating talking points that imply population growth is our only path forward.

You aren't wrong.

We're stuck with the first past the post electoral system which is following the same route of falling into the 2 party trap. Corporations are buying those two parties and they are both further right than I think a lot of Canadians want, but the left leaning parties are a hard option to vote for, out of fear of the rightmost party getting the seat of power.

Trudeau did get elected originally on the promise of electoral reform with the NDP, but that promise was one of many he broke, and who knows how long before we can get it back as a voter issue.

Right now no one can get past the fear of economic uncertainty, which is being used by both the Liberals and Conservatives to ignore things that are much bigger in the long run, like climate change, and electoral stagnation.
