Yeah, that’s what I meant — whoever wrote the joke expected the answer to start with “it’s very fucking important” or the like.
AI compute credits will be tied to printer ink, so if you run out of either one you need to buy more of both.
They did not expect him to give an actual answer before being rudely cut off as if to illustrate the absurdity of the policy.
the data will no longer be saved locally
You no longer need to know your location history, only Microsoft and its very close friends will have that data?
Ah, a scene from my childhood.
bad decisions -> fans complain -> AI analyzes sentiment -> you are all toxic
The chart there says 4 million barrels per day, so multiply that by 50 dollars a barrel times 365 days a year… 73 billion dollars, larger than the entire US trade deficit with Canada. If they want to eliminate it, all they have to do is stop buying oil.
Apparently what you fail to appreciate is that alcohol is bad, the concept of having regulations is good, and therefore the existing set of differently convoluted regulations in every province must remain as it is.
Policy barriers to selling Canadian goods and services across the country are so few that you can list them on a paper napkin.

Demographics can tell you a lot about how it will go in 20 or 30 years, but trying to predict what will happen in 75 years — based on trends that have only been in place for a decade — is foolish.
It’s been ages since the Conservatives had a good leader, but I just realized who would be perfect for the job: Mark Carney.
I remember figuring out how to get OpenCL stuff working back in 2019 was not so easy, but I haven’t had problems like that in a few years now. More recently, getting blender to do GPU rendering for example was just a matter of figuring out which package needed installing.
Okay Google, if you can guess my age accurately to within a decade based on my youtube viewing history and whatever other data you can get, I will give you a cookie.
I like blobcats
Oh look it’s the United States Congress version of shitposting.
Buying Civ VI at launch was one of my worse decisions. Glad to be sitting this one out at least for a year or two until the game is actually finished and we can see if it’s any good.
Regardless of their intentions, granting outsized influence to any very small group of users skews our perceptions of public opinion.
As we know, anyone whose opinion about it is featured in the Globe and Mail has just the right amount of influence.
There is of course “astroturfing” on lemmy as well. But in such a human-scale social media environment it’s harder for it to hide, easier for it to be seen for what it is. Many parts of the larger fediverse are slowly developing a culture of just blocking the accounts which appear to be there only to troll, mislead, discourage, and argue in bad faith. Instances that host too many of them get blocked themselves. There is no secret algorithm magically boosting outrage fuel to drive engagement. There is no censorship or manipulation of the discussion motivated by the interests of advertisers. There is no financial motive to tolerate everything that doesn’t conflict with those interests. There is no way to buy the power to control the users.
With Bill C-63 Canada had the opportunity to enact an enormous bureaucracy with the power to disrupt our network, impose on it laws designed with the interests of giant corporate behemoths in mind, impose non-solutions to problems we don’t have, create regulatory barriers to entry that protect the corporate social media platform mafia, and follow other countries down a blind alley we’ve been steered into by “big tech” lobbyists. It’s a good thing it didn’t pass, and I hope they don’t try to revive it in anything like its previous form.
If the government of Canada wishes to begin fostering a healthier digital media landscape, let it first join the Fediverse. That will be a sign that there is some hope of it having the ability to make good decisions in this domain.
It’s CVE-2024-36904 from May 2024. Last year’s news.
Perhaps this will motivate makers of web browsers to finally get serious about making fingerprinting less easy. Looking at you, Mozilla.
