Every time I look at this, the value proposition makes no sense to me. The DIY V1 and V2 only have instructions for adding a single HDMI input port (??), and the V3 and V4 are like $350 CAD, which is way more expensive than buying a used KVM on eBay. What am I missing?

The transport trucks that will go 1000km don’t.

This guy’s the worst at putting together a pursuasive argument. Almost all the problems he wrote wil have solutions we engineer in the future. Dismissing electric cars, the very real and imminent problem they have of CO2 emissions, based on cherry picking current problems they have in different countries is disingenuous and short sighted. eg. California’s CO2 emissions problems at night cannot be generalized to other places.

And the punchline of this article is an apples-to-oranges comparison - you can’t harp on transport trucks and then argue the solution is walking and biking.

Lithium batteries (or their successor) will get cheaper, lighter, and more energy dense because there’s a massive market opportunity for that now. This article completely ignores our ability to advance technology to solve problems, lol.

Can’t put nuclear fuel in a car lol

When you hand the Russians a propaganda victory, you can expect them to dial up the troll farms to 11 to get the most out of the opportunity. It’s a big fuckup and CSIS/CSEC should have interdicted this TBH.

This is disingenuous and irrelevant - that’s no what’s being proposed at all. And if you’ve ever run Facebook ads, you’d know what a ridiculous amount of money Facebook gets from that.

You actually made the argument for the bill, and then twisted it to justify Facebook and Google’s domination of the ad market.

The specific problem they’re solving is that that there’s a majority of Facebook users who get their news from Facebook, and probably the majority of those users don’t actually click through, so the news organizations get no money. Facebook and their users are benefitting from getting headlines, but the companies incurring all the costs to generate those headlines are getting too little money from that to sustain themselves. This is why this bill has to exist and why it’s necessary to protect Canadian news organizations.

TIL how to poach brains

Your 10 day old account is from a Finnish Lemmy instance and already has 454 comments. All you write about is this imaginary impending civil war - 100% troll account.

Lmao, this is a post about Canada. Your post is the clown meme of far right bullshit, ending in a claim about genocide.

You can use your “logic” to justify anything. It’s totally garbage. “The world is ending therefore X is justified.” Just grow up and deal with it or leave and go somewhere else.

If you don’t have the political fortitude to be able to play ball in a democracy, then you won’t have what it takes to govern a country if you succeed in overthrowing it by violence.

This is the thing with Lemmy - there’s all these veiled calls for violence which seem like an astroturfing campaign to foment social unrest from users on weird instances which should be banned.

You don’t need tanks - we live in a democracy - you can band together and form a political party to replace the government, and convince people to vote for you. That’s how it works.

The drug company knows exactly what it’s doing here - I came out Barbie the other day and there’s a fucking Ozempic ad besides the theatre inside the Famous Players.

Just to share some climate change context, as of 2020, natural gas usage by buildings (mostly for heating) accounted for 54% of community-wide emissions in Toronto. Transportation only accounted for 33%, so reducing our use of natural gas for heating is something Canada needs majorly to focus on if we don’t want to burn.
