Ich wollte zu dem Thema gerade einen Post schreiben, der aber vermutlich genau wegen diesem Bug verloren gegangen ist.
Ich weiß, dass das für euch genauso frustrierend sein muss und ihr das auch nur freiwillig macht, aber letztendlich hab ich social media apps also Unterhaltung, und die letzten Wochen unterhält es nicht, es frustriert nur. Und wiederholt Apps und Instanzen wechseln wird auch sehr schnell sehr öde.
Nicht als Vorwurf gemeint, nur als Feststellung: Ein paar Tage downtime oder Unzuverlässigkeit kann man wegstecken, aber solche langen Probleme töten nicht nur die eine Instanz oder Lemmy, sondern auch die Bereitschaft sich in Zukunft auf alternative/offene Systeme einzulassen.
Ich hab den Eindruck der content wird auch immer weniger/schlechter, hab Lemmy in letzter Zeit immer weniger genutzt, und bin vermutlich bald ganz raus.
Wahnsinn. Strafbefehle sind eigentlich für Lappalien gedacht. Hier haben sowohl der Richter als auch die Staatsanwaltschaft ihre Jobs nicht gemacht.
(Für die, die den Artikel nicht lesen wollen: erledigt im Strafbefehlsverfahren, womit die Angehörigen als Nebenkläger auch keine Berufung gegen das zu niedrige Urteil erheben können).
How do they do it and how much does someone pay to get their name/business to show up on Google maps when a random googler is navigating to an entirely unrelated destination?
I believe the business pays per click. I’ve seen (edit) only one estimate for the cost, claiming $2 to $6 per click. (www.shopify.com/retail/google-maps-ads)
(I previously had mentioned a second estimate but that was for regular ads)
We don’t know how much she pays, but yeah. It’s quite likely she does pay that much (and it may or may not pay off - if she gets one extra long term customer paying $100 per session, every week, for a year, that easily pays for a couple hundred clicks that go nowhere. OTOH the 99% of people who don’t need a LSCW but click the pin just to figure out what it is, why it shows up on the map, or what the acronym stands for aren’t going to provide any benefit…).
Ads/Marketing/customer acquisition are unbelievably expensive (and thus also a huge business).
The prompt engineering skills someone acquired by cheating might turn out to be more useful and valuable than whatever they would have learned by doing the work honestly.
I would much rather pay for a missile that Ukraine fires against a Russian tank in Ukraine, than pay for a missile I have to fire against the Russian tank myself after it rolled through Ukraine and to my doorstep.
I would also much rather pay to educate the world (using Russia as an example) that the international community isn’t putting up with wars of aggression and won’t let you get away with them, than have the world thrown into disarray when the next country decides to disrupt global supply chains with their war of aggression.
Supporting Ukraine is a smart thing regardless of what you think of Ukraine. It’s also the morally right thing, but if you don’t care about that, egoism should drive you to the same decision.
A maximum indoor temperature working law giving people a day off if workplace temperatures surpass 30C should be mandated by government, a new report recommends....
I’m wondering how long it takes until climate activists start advocating against it (because it would increase the use of AC and thus emissions/energy use, and decrease the amount of people suffering from the heat).
Not sure why climate activists would want people to suffer.
Some because they think it’ll make people more aware of the problem and create more pressure to act, others because they think suffering is a virtue, people deserve it for what they have done to earth, and similar nonsense positions.
And in some cities they got air conditioning banned or de-facto banned (made so expensive with additional hurdles that it’s unaffordable for most, ironically often leading to people using extremely inefficient hose-out-the-window monobloc units that you can buy without asking anyone for permission).

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that talks on a peace plan will be held in Switzerland in January 2024 – the day before the start of the World Economic Forum in Davos....
The talks in Davos will follow a meeting in Malta in October, which was attended by around 70 countries from around the world as well as the European Union (EU) and the UN. Russia was not present. The Ukrainian peace plan foresees the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops from all occupied territories, including Crimea.
So this isn’t some major change or Ukraine planning to negotiate with Russia, more of a “hey world, how do we get Russia to fuck off” meeting.
So one of the complaints seems to be… that you won’t be able to see it from the road anymore, suggesting that the tunnel entrances will be out of sight of the monument. I haven’t seen arguments that it’ll disrupt the stability of the site or anything else either, so from the limited info I have, the complaints sound quite spurious.
Are there any hidden interests (e.g. environmental activists trying to make traffic a nightmare to discourage cars, someone able to profiteer from the current situation somehow, NIMBYs wanting to block the project due to some other location it affects and attacking it here because it seems easier)?

For a normal company, abusing data is a small part of their business and profit is a few percent of revenue, so such a fine would be devastating.
For some tech companies, profit is in the double digit percent of revenue and half of it comes from breaking the law, so the 4% are a tax they can happily pay and still be more profitable than if they followed the law.
It’d be great if that was how it works, unfortunately it seems like the penalties are closer to once every 3-5 years than monthly, skewing the balance even further to “screw the law, just pay the fee”:(
Weird. The article does have today’s date but only mentions the Nov 10 decision. I think maybe what happened today is the publication of the full text of the decision?
