I don’t trust big businesses to act in my interest, even when it is also very much in their best interests.
Witness the insurance industry flagging the risks of climate change an a massive risk to their industry, and then not using their immense marketing and lobbying power to push for changes that would ultimately result in better future profits (and even survivability) for themselves.
True, but there are levels of more or less bad among them.
At minimum we can hope for a less bad group to deal with, since we’re always going to have to deal with them in some capacity due to geography.
I agree that seems to be his signature move.
And it hasn’t occurred to him that anyone (or everyone) might figure it out…
Current politicians struggle to make decisions three months into the future.
And business leaders don’t think past the next profit statement.
wait and see if the next administration is less corrupt.
It’s hard to imagine how they couldn’t be.
Unless there is no change in administration.
I got 5 or 6 top level “tornado in your area” alerts - not from Environment Canada, mind you, but from the government emergency alert system
I just looked at my emergency alert history, and I got 19 tornado alerts on June 9, and I was also a signifigant distance from the areas where the storm damage occurred.
I understand that the path of a tornado can be unpredictable, but after the first 10 alerts, I got the message. No need to keep sending them every few minutes (I got a couple of bursts of 3 of them within 5 minutes)

100% transparent, impossible to corrupt, no baggage.
100% dreaming.
While not providing an especially useful end product, even though that product is displacing well educated and skilled workers.
Be careful what you wish for.
The last “grass roots” party to gain any sort of traction was the Reform Party.
And we still haven’t recovered from their legacy.
I guess it’s better late than never, but how the hell did this take so long?
That is the way to prevent it.
But, frustratingly, most people who have one will probably connect it to the internet just because that’s what the manual says to do during the set up procedure.
It’s getting harder to find devices that don’t insist on being connected.
I really cannot see this ever passing
There are a helluva lot of things that “I cannot see happening” that the USA is actively doing right now (and over the last decade or more) .
if it’s optional features I would never even touch then ehh whatever.
Until they push a software update to your device to force using the app for basic features…
This is far from a Nintendo exclusive problem.
It is the way entire industries are going (and have been going for decades).
It’s only strong consumer protection laws that stand in their way.
Why spy in what you own?
To make sure they are following orders properly.
It’s more of a threat than the warning they are pretending it is.
Canadian employers are paying the price after AI proves unable to replace laid off staff
But are they learning any lessons from this AI folly?
stop selling off its own so-called ‘essential-service’ providers that would be great.
Railways, Petro Canada, Canada Post
…Electric utilities, airports, sea ports…
That is becoming less “relatively easy” than it was even a few years ago. The CC companies are adding more steps than there once was.
