  • How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should

    Jump

  • The problem I have with disabling or turning off permissions is that it assumes that Google respects you enough to honour your requests and actually disable them.

    And I have absolutely zero faith in Google to do that.

  • Belkin Bricks Most Wemo Smart Home Devices, Again Demonstrating You Don’t Own What You Buy

    Jump

  • One of the many reasons I will never integrate smart home stuff into my house.

    My light switches still work because they're powered by my finger instead of the "cloud".

  • Jeffrey Epstein Hired Private Investigators to Intimidate FBI Agents: Officials

    Jump

  • Holy shit. Whoever signed off on the use of that term in a major news publication needs to be let go. That is repulsive.

  • ‘Grok For Government’: Elon Musk's XAI Says It’s Secured A Pentagon Contract

    Jump

  • This was always one of the end goals of P2025. Using government contracts as a way of funnelling money into the elitist ruling class and their corporations.

    If anything, I'm surprised it's taken 6 months to get to this point.

  • Carney's plan to cut tens of billions in spending is tough but doable, experts say

    Jump

  • I agree, but unfortunately that's basically never going to happen. At least not in our lifetimes.

    One of Canada's greatest flaws is that we followed the US into car-dependent, suburban-sprawl at the catastrophic expense of everything else. We have spent decade upon decade investing unfathomable amounts of money into building the most dysfunctional cities imaginable and ensuring there is no practical way of getting in or out of them except a car.

  • YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead

    Jump

  • Nebula has certainly improved but I still think they need to put more effort into getting new creators that aren't political or news. I just did a skim through their uploads lists for various topics and news and/or political (or political ish) content is still the most active. Topics like technology and gaming see far less uploads.

  • The Trump Administration Is Planning to Use AI to Deny Medicare Authorizations

    Jump

  • Would be a hell of a lot cheaper if they just automatically denied everyone. Because, let's be honest, that is what the end result of this is going to be anyway.

  • Autumn stream

    Jump

  • Beautiful!

    Are Trump supporters plain conservative or reactionary?

    Jump

  • Dangerously ignorant. Both to themselves and the world around them.

  • The modern internet is very sterile, sanitised, and boring. It is a hollow and empty shell of what it once was.

  • How can Conservatives complain about Mark Carney when he’s the most right-leaning Liberal in decades?

    Jump

  • Just as the Liberals have moved to the right with Carney, the Conservative party has moved further towards the hard-right.

    Look south to the US for a taste of what sort of people I'm talking about. They care about nothing but hatred, suffering, conspiracies, and oppression.

    A lot of moderate conservatives are happy with Carney though. They've been wanting someone like him for years.

  • Hello!

  • Vancouver council lowers speed limit to 30km/h on local streets to reduce collisions

    Jump

  • Literally nobody will obey this.

    I'm not in Vancouver itself, but a major road near me had its speed limit dropped to accommodate mixed-use expansions. Not a single driver actually does the new speed limit. They all speed 20-30kph over the limit and they will tailgate you or highbeam flash if you do the posted limit.

    Maybe some day in the distant future our policy-makers will understand that updating a few signs doesn't make a damn difference. You need physical speed reduction methods such as speedbumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, etc.

  • Krafton Delays ‘Subnautica 2’ Game Ahead of $250 Million Payout

    Jump

  • This game is screwed, calling it now.

  • Most Canadians now see US as a ‘threat,’ study reveals

    Jump

  • And so they should. The US is a fascist state that has repeatedly threatened to invade Canada.

  • Rivian spinoff Also raises another $200M to build e-bikes and more

    Jump

  • Ebikes are just bicycles with motors. They have all the benefits of bicycles but are more accessible to more people, particularly those in hilly locations and those with disabilities.

    Most ebikes are speed-limited and are built using standardised bicycle components. The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.

  • USB Type-C is not up for the challenges it has

    Jump

  • I've read so many times that the cable is designed to wear out faster than the jack, and yet I've had numerous devices have their USB-C jacks fail.

    I still have all of my USB-C cables, even the one that came with my very first USB-C phone. All of them still work and fit fine.

  • Suncor fined after protected bird nests were buried at Alberta oilsands mine

    Jump

  • That fine is so small that it's not even a slap on the wrist. It's not even a rounding error. It's like a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. It probably cost more in worker time just to issue the fine.

  • ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing

    Jump

  • Someone's $50,000+ car malfunctioning and killing them isn't natural selection. That's not what that term means.
