Your country had better have a state owned grid, with a state run retailer, else this is still the same sort of shit, just without hidden fees.
Sincerely, an annoyed Victorian/Australian that wishes their electricity was just managed by the state.
There may be no hidden fees where I’m from, but when there’s a private company with a monopoly, what’s the difference?
Capitalism/privatisation is such a scam
:(
I feel like the original commenter didn’t really provide what I think you’re looking for.
A service that does something I think you might find useful is something like this: https://shapecatcher.com/
If you’re a learner/speaker of Chinese (or Japanese, I think? I assume they use this character also) then this character is very basic so quickly comes to mind (大 dà: “big”).
This is the real answer, what engineer worth their salt is hiding margins in pi?
Clearly define that
I think you’re missing my point. Megacorps taking advantage of browser features should be outlawed, and cookie banners to opt-out of tracking cookies are a weird waste of time.
What that means for small hobbyist projects requiring the use of Cross-Site cookies is outside the scope of my opinion. I have no idea about how such things could be feasibly policed, just that I’m not convinced they couldn’t ever be.
But if I’m deciding between the collective wellbeing of everyone’s privacy and a small hobbyist project needing to add an opt in? I’m picking the opt in, which I mean, obviously, if the person wants to use your features, an extra click isn’t too much to ask
I don’t see why you’d need to throw out that baby with this bathwater.
My point is the same as yours. You ought not need to “reject” cookies for the purposes of tracking you for marketing, or other defined illegitimate purposes. It should just be illegal by default.
And if you want to opt in for some specific feature, as you suggest, you could (as long as you still legislate you can’t bundle more tracking along with it).
Things should just do what is says on the tin.
In my opinion.
They cant maintain the costs of research & debelopment nor the hosting. So they have to paywall their site or close the doors
The irony of posting this comment on Lemmy, which runs based on donations. It isn’t paywalled, and doesn’t require data mining to operate. As well as Wikipedia which is completely free, and wildly successful. Which again doesn’t need to violate your privacy to continue existing.
Not to mention, not every website is making money off selling your data, and are instead selling goods or services. Which can continue to operate and make money just fine.
The fact you think the economy would collapse because data miners would lose their jobs, is showing your bias.
Nek minnit you’ll be telling me we ought not stop fighting needless wars whenever the US beckons us, because of all the poor weapons contractors losing work (massive hyperbole, but you get my point).
People working in data mining have heaps of transferrable skills, they would be totally fine.
The internet existed before enshitification, and it certainly could afterwards.
Would you have to pay a little more to access certain things? Sure. But I find the argument that the internet would cease to function very unconvincing.
It’d be an inside secret because even some allies wouldn’t be able to tell of they’re not particularly good with colours (me)
You’re in favour of companies mining our data and selling personal information with impunity?
Session cookies for login are legitimate, I’m not really sure about others
youll be burning down a multi-billion, if not trillion, worth market.
Oh no
Also, idk if i want the alternative of cookie tracking to be used as much as cookie tracking. Scary stuff
Here’s an idea, you outlaw that also
We have been in the wild west of the internet the last 20 years or so, and you wonder when we’re finally going to actively police it
You wonder, why do they not just make it illegal to use cookies at all (other than for legitimate purposes like loggin in).
Who actually wants to accept?
People have got to learn that not knowing something is fine. Why make something up when you don’t know something?
I don’t know much about the stage categorisation of cancers.
Why not just say Biden has cancer?
I know the answer of course. I just wish there were so many other idiots like him.
I also wish the US were so stupid as to elect him.
🇦🇺 heh, amateurs… But seriously this is ridiculous, and straight up anti-democtatic. Single member first past the post is the worst voting system out there.
Inb4 they make mulit-member electorates winner-take-all (all seats to the party who got the plurality of votes).
This is THE fight USA. In my opinion, your ridiculous voting systems is probably why it’s so easy to suppress you.
Indeed, this is fair, but also you have a map on your phone
Thanks for the response! Still, why would you do this, and not just use pi?
I’m not following what the purpose of rounding pi is
PI() is the function a spreadsheet, if that helps ;)
Please give me peace haha
I finally found you, an engineer actually using π=3 (or 4 as you say), and not just people making fun of it.
I am also an engineer, but I’m going to wager much more recently graduated (worked 3.5 years).
Who hurt you?
Like, I get it, in a world before calculators, but there’s a button on the calculator, in your spreadsheet, in whatever program that approximates pi to many, many, many digits.
Putting in a design/safety margins into pi seems like a strange choice.
Sincerely, an engineer looking for answers on this π=3 meme.
Even if it’s back of the napkin first past approximation. You have a phone calculator. Please use it for our collective peace haha
(All jibes in jest, I’m genuinely curious)
A bunch of Europeans in this comment section forgetting there are more “western” countries than just western Europe and the USA/north America.
Fortnightly is the most common in Australia, with some people paid monthly also (depends on the company).
And thankful for this. Monthly sounds terrible
