They’re ensuring their money keeps flowing. This isn’t about altruism - it’s just their Greed incidentally benefits us.

ISPs are trying to mitigate exposure to lawsuits, prevent costly tracking and tracing responsibilities, and make sure customers can keep paying instead of losing their internet privileges (and their internet bills!)

That peasants like us find this favorable is an unintended bonus.

The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.

Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.

Yes. Loud things make you cover your ears.

Bombs are louder than bullhorns? Okay you win the loudness competition, but people are still covering their ears for both.

Bad optics, but having a bullhorn shouting in your ear is gonna make you cover your ears.

Doesn’t matter if it’s dead kids, or your favorite Simpson’s quotes, bullhorns are loud.

Isn’t this how Walmart failed in Germany?

Basically the “roadmap to success” used in other countries failed in Germany/Europe mostly because that “success” was only achievable through “human rights abuses” and “violating labor laws” that aren’t troublesome in parts of the world where labour rights are neutered at every opportunity, and large portions of the population people are too impoverished to afford necessities elsewhere

I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.

The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.

Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change

I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.

Honestly, I’ve almost noticed the opposite for about 2 months now - but I only use mobile browser with no account so it may not be a fully accurate experience.

The main reason for this opinion is that I’m Canadian, and until recently the super right wing echo chamber bot farm Canada_Sub, no longer appears on my popular/hot in Canada feed and has been replaced by the far more left wing Onguardforthee.

The ‘Sub’ group went private, then back to public but it’s no longer being pushed on my feed.

In general, I’m definitely seeing less right wing talking points for Canadian content, not sure if that’s due to the overall algorithm, or if admins have been cracking down on bots and the right wing Canadian subreddits don’t have enough traction without them to crack relevance.

Maybe reddit is taking it’s content more seriously with all the AI content scraping they’re about now. Their content won’t mean squat if it’s polluted by bot content like other social media.

Exactly what I was thinking, this pupper was 100% chalked

I’m not well versed in what is happening at specific campuses across the US - but if people not associated with the school (anyone not current students/Alumni) are protesting on Private property, the school is well within their rights to have trespassers removed.

Students should be allowed to peacefully protest on school grounds, or they can join non students protest that is off campus.

I’m not sure what the answer to Israel//Palestine is, but the US is absolutely directly funding and assisting in a genocide while publicly almost maybe finger wagging Netanyahu.

I would love to see North Americans actually tuck in to protest and figure out how to actually make them work. There’s so much that needs to change but never will until actual consequences come for those responsible.

Government/police insist on having basically unlimited ability to spy on people within the US, and then maybe catch a part of one operation after collecting heaps of evidence over months/years with tons of victims irrevocably harmed - and eventually a few main people get like 3-5 years in prison on a plea deal.

I get the whole “building a case” thing, but letting multiple children get abused, while other sickos learn the ropes to eventually “get enough evidence” so a few people can plead guilty for a comparatively light prison sentences is absurd. Shut anything about it down immediately. Even if it doesn’t go to trial/conviction I’m sure the police have creative capacities to deal with child abusers outside of prison.

And people still think sex education in school is about teaching children how to preform sex acts, instead of helping them avoid predators.

I just got a blue ray of samurai champloo - mostly because I’m sick of media in general cycling through multiple streaming services only to become unavailable.

The SC blue ray came with a digital copy from funimation (now crunchyroll). I saw online that it’s basically a scam that doesn’t work so to see for myself I created a paid account to hopefully get access to the digital download.

I found out it was unsupported, and at best it would only be available online and with an account - no opportunity for actual download/ownership.

So I immediately cancelled subscription and had them fully delete my account. I figured complaining about their shit policy by cancelling a paid service and fully deleting an account would hit some metrics at least.

When there’s a show/movie I really enjoy, I either buy physical, or torrent so I actually have it. Only some things on the internet are forever, and with the volume of content being created, “permanent” is now often only for a few months before it becomes nearly impossible to find again.

AI isn’t good enough to replace workers, but it could probably replace C-suite executives at astronomical savings to the company

“when MAGA sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best”.

This saying has always bothered me.

They send who they have that will show up, making whoever shows up their best.

MAGA is simply the dumbest of the population both as individuals and their elected representatives. Even the congressional MAGAts, who one could argue should be “the best” are downright terrible (at their jobs, as human beings, and in every sense imaginable).

MAGA has no best, it is a spectrum of ignorance and anger.

I mean, they kind of already do that.

All the taxes I manage to evade (buying/selling a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff from Kijiji/marketplace) wouldn’t really affect me.

But scraping hedge funds and professional tax dodgers would put a ton of cash into public funds, so I’m all for it.

Kind of hate that slippery slope argument of yours “if they can take millions from greedy billionaires, imagine how many millions they’ll take from you!” is a shit argument that defends serious tax evasion.

First they came for the billionaires, and I did nothing, ‘cause fuck em’ that’s why.

RIF was working for about a month after the shut down (shit down?) but I was logged out and strictly lurking.

Lemmy has been way more stable for me in the past 2 weeks as well.

I’ll use my browser to look at reddit without being logged in every now and then, but honestly 90% of the major news is on Lemmy anyhow and the memes and community are 10x better than anything on Reddit since about a decade.

Only thing left for Lemmy is more local/provincial communities gaining traction on Lemmy, but I’m in no rush at all. I’d rather have a limited user base with genuine interaction than the shit slide botfest reddit feels like now

Are you suggesting that anything about the internet hasn’t reduced attention spans?

Especially as it’s becoming more accessible and common for younger people to get more exposure during key points in brain development.

It goes beyond simple accessibility and engagement, if young people are not participating in these social medias it can become harder to connect with your peers - so you’re almost socially punished for not embracing and participating in brain rot (all social media, not just Tik Tok).

Is it TorrentGalaxy.to?
