How many $$ on cameras and police enforcement before we just invest in adequate public transit?

I'm part of the /fuckcars club, but IMO speeding comes from stagnant wages and our time being taken away from us.

    IMO NDP are still to LPC-lite to lead a popular working class movement. Avi's a step in the right direction; still a ways to go.

    But I just hate how every LPC 'solution' is just tax based and never actually doing or building anything.

    Less is a pretty open ended response.

    Like I would probably vote in that category, not because I hate Sikhs/Filipinos but because the average immigrant is not able to build a life and ends up leaving after several years and thousands of dollars lost.

    Immigrants can't 'assimilate' if they're effective forced into indentured servitude full time where their employer effectively controls their lives. (I've worked with people in that situation and its fucking brutal on their mental health)

    There is real exploitation going on and the simplest solution is to reduce the supply of exploitable people until we have a plan and capacity for everyone coming to Canada.

    Trudeau weakened

    Can we please blame corporate greed and the wealthy? Trudeau, whatever he was, is absolutely a red herring thrown in by conservative media to prevent right leaning people from thinking too hard about civics.

    edit; blame the LPC as whole even. But lets not feed into the bumper sticker politics.

    lol tell me you didn't click the link without telling me you didn't click the link.

    52% of Canadians want less, and that number is static. But the number of people who were unsure but now want more or the same have increased.

    All this highlights is that most people from lemmy are part of the 44% of Canadians who want the same or more immigration.

    I don't know where you're getting this conservative angle. Well I do but I'm not gonna bother.

    I know elon has like a dozen bastards but I do take some schadenfreude in thinking about how nobody will fuck him for free; and guaranteed he had to pay >10x as much as anyone else.

    Good I was sick of you being deliberately obtuse.

    Or did you genuinely not see that glaring hole in your logic until I pointed it out with a mere 2 words?

    Talking to you gives me "gen z thinks they invented the wheel" vibes.

    If you're like me, you've probably had an increased interest in FOSS, mesh networks, and DIY-IOT.

    Lately I've been seeing The Data Slayer videos, and finally I watched one and even checked out his website.

    Turns out this guy is using AI to repackage free information and upsell it at extortionate prices.

     

    Physics predicts that no more than 33% of the solar energy that falls on a solar panel can be converted into electricity. However, experiments and simulations by scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands revealed a way to harvest extra energy from "hot electrons," which could break this barrier.

     

    McDonald's is removing artificial intelligence (AI) powered ordering technology from its drive-through restaurants in the US, after customers shared its comical mishaps online.

    A trial of the system, which was developed by IBM and uses voice recognition software to process orders, was announced in 2019.

    It has not proved entirely reliable, however, resulting in viral videos of bizarre misinterpreted orders ranging from bacon-topped ice cream to hundreds of dollars' worth of chicken nuggets.

    McDonald's told franchisees it would remove the tech from the more than 100 restaurants it has been testing it in by the end of July, as first reported by trade publication Restaurant Business.
