Waves can bounce off of everything, wifi/Bluetooth/cellular automatically compensate for this effect. There is a lot of signal processing involved with wireless data transmission to filter noise and correct errors. This is part of the reason why it’s taken decades to reach this level of wifi speeds and why Bluetooth has a real hard time matching wired audio.
Do everyone a favor and look up inelastic demand before dying on this hill. Rent is a necessity, people need to pay for it. It’s price is not as directly correlated to supply and demand as the price of luxury goods for example.
It’s sad this needs to be spelled out for you, but that’s probably why you’re bad with money.
Nice trolling, I won’t respond to this. Be better.
Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.
Hell no, algorithms constantly pushing rage, lies, and instigating violence are causing immense harm all over the world. It’s about time tech giants paid for their disgusting algorithms constantly radicalizing the terminally online.
Having hateful thoughts in your head and having hateful rhetoric spoonfed to you are 2 different things. There’s a reason why there is a surge in hate crimes and far-right rhetoric all over the world. It’s not a coincidence that it happened at the same time big tech gained full control of pretty much everyone’s information sources. IRC is not even remotely commonplace, TV print and radio don’t allow genocidal losers to spread their ideas since they can’t just make an account and post garbage.
As for reddit, how were they able to ban “watchpeopledie” and heavily censor the piracy subreddit? They 100% are responsible for not policing hate subs and allowing them to be easily accessible, they are also using an algorithm (that’s not as “polished” as YouTube’s but still exists and will most likely get worse as they cement full control over their platform’s users).
The solution is to induce financial penalty on these companies that makes it more expensive than the ad revenue they receive from such shitty algorithms. Which is exactly how the piracy subreddit was gutted so much, reddit risks financial harm from legal battles for hosting that content. It is not much different to do the same for hateful rhetoric advocating for murder.
From Oswald Mosely, through The Daily Mail, Fox News, hate preachers of all denominations…
Again, not as far reaching, effective, or insidious. Fox news also had to pay dominion voting systems for lying and spreading election fraud propaganda.
Often for the same pure simple profit that the social media giants are after rather than ideological hatred
Highly doubtful
I don’t believe for a second that a US court would hand down a fine
This is a civil suit
I also don’t think reddit is remotely mainstream enough swing global opinions to the right
So? It’s one of many pieces, not the only piece. It’s also the largest site of its kind.

I do think though that the parent comment was mainly referring to detaining people without due process when talking about Nazi Germany, rather than the environmental perspective.

I think that’s part of the issue. It would be cool to have an easily available ISO, and partnerships with manufacturers, like they did back in the steam machine days. That might make it more likely that we see handhelds without windows preinstalled.
