That’s Like saying I don’t pay rent to the landlord, the house has already been built.

If a society agrees on this being right, no more houses will be built. And no movies will be made.

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ (www.theverge.com)

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”...

The thing about from financial transactions is:

a) governments will insist on regulation and influence

b) the recipient needs to use the same system.

If my landlord and my brokerage aren’t on TwitterFinance, there’s no way to use it to send them money

    For now. If YT really wants to end it, they can

    The reason while they have all the content, is precisely because they can generate revenue for channels. I much prefer payment through subcription and ad views to annoying in video sponsors and product placements

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    Netflix is able to only serve paying customers.

    Sure, granting view credits for ads is a little more complicated, but definitely within googles scope.

    So they can block everyone, unless you either pay or watch ads. Unpopular, sure. But they have a huge library and a constant stream of new content, so enough people would put up with it. They can also start soflty, and only tighten the screws later. Lets start with one ad per day.

    The EU decided that it rather doesn’t have any platforms than some which allow hate/propaganda/childabuse. The intent is to fight the mentioned things and ideally remove them from society. By and large, this decision is a democratic one and fine.

    Platforms may continue operation, if they promise to remove all stuff. Here there are two options, one stipulating that all content needs to be checked before its published. Thats the draconian approach. Currently its fine to only go after user reported stuff.

    Now to your first question: They fon’t gaf about musk and don’t care if he removes the stuff. But if he choses not to, they will shutdown twitter for europeans. Thats why they adress him, because he as a major shareholder and CEO (is he?) calls the shots there.

    Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

    Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

    It’s my go-to player for various podcasts. I don’t end up watching, just listening. But it’s YouTube nonetheless.

    While I don’t normally use it for music, the magic of it’s recommendation engine has led me into several amazing music niches, wich I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

    Ianal, but I assume they might get into trouble for the use of words like buy and own, if this is how they treat the purchases.

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    At least in Germany there are Limits to t&c’s. To put it simply, there musn’t be any ugly surprises.

    The merchant retroactively cancelling your purchases would be an ugly surprise of that nature.

    whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    You americans propably see this differently, but in europe it’s very simple:

    The employer need you to come to work. He doesn’t care where you live and how long your commute is.

    The worker can chose an employer close to his home, or relocate and live close to the employer. Generally, if it’s a priority, the worker can live within walking distance of the employer. If other priorities overrule proximity, there’s likely still public transport to get to work.

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    Guys, it’s a free market. The boss gives the worker money, and the worker makes sure that the commute is short. It’s his responsibility. He can change employer or relocate his home. It’s not as if all people have the same commute

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    As a government subsidy it’s quite different from an employer benefit.

    A public transport ticket as a perk is also very different. That’s the same for all employees.the way k read the headline, it’s about paying for the time spent commuting.

    A2PKXG ,

    I watched the first half, and it started getting repetitive. But I don’t recall suburbs being mentioned. The way I see it, single family homes are the main reason for your american urban planning. low density makes area consumption big, and thus travel distances. With them comes traffic, and with that big roads.

    I live in Europe, and while I own a car, i’m within walking distance of several supermarkets, restaurants, doctors schools and whatnot.

    And a lifestyle that doesn’t require cars seems incomprehensible to them.

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    But… you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It’s a business.

    As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can’t control their purchases, it isn’t the industry’s fault.

    I’m fortunate to not enjoy popular culture in the first place.

    We need to view this seperate issues:

    One is putting all options into a car and only making them available to customers who pay. This somewhat makes sense, and while it is annoying, it might benefit customers and automakers alike.

    The other is making a hardware option a subscription. I personally hate that, but it just might make sense. People also rent houses and lease cars, why not add some customisation?

    There might be a third question: Why do people even buy Beamers?

    It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

    And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

    A2PKXG ,
    @A2PKXG@feddit.de avatar

    I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

    I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

    A2PKXG ,
