  It’s the same concept as car dealerships having loans and being owned (or franchise things) by the car company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FDA Is Approving Drugs Without Evidence They Work⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  can we only test in on men too?

  companies shouldn’t have limits on how far they can grow, and vertical integration is almost impossible to regulate as it’s just manufacturing a product from start to finish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ban on kids using social media likely unconstitutional, judge rules⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it is simply preventing laws from banning a modern bulletin board billboard hybrid tech that teenagers use because it would restrict access to bulletin boards for adults and minors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it would work pretty well after a few years, just ignore the deaths during the roll out.

  sawdust is edible though, now digestable is a different question entirely and will require a few centuries of research to get data on due to my pro-sawdust-in-food lobbyists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, however as far as I am aware there are no laws in the us against any private vehicle usage on private land. Unlike the FDA which criminalizes owning or consuming certain chemicals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  this is probably a place that associates “borg” with the “resistance is futile” quote more than anything else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  similarly looking for sip companies, specifically with less discrimination against the 49th state.

  fair, but I am going to try and get a pinephone soon anyway ¯_(ツ)_//¯

  it may be cheaper, but I fucking hate data caps.

  I hope we get flying cars from blade runner too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  conveniently my phone’s last update was 11 (god I wish there were more security updates past 11 2023)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  rural ISPs still need a connection to the greater internet, what options are there when the closest non-shitty option is hundreds of miles away?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bachelor Chow slabs, anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  not eat premade (as in made at the supermarket) food from the supermarket?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am not a builder… but that does not seem right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  perhaps it is centered between some further away objects and they cared about aesthetics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  hence why they push so heavily for automation, it makes it possible to earn about the same profit while respecting human rights. (nobody has a right to a job)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who think AI might become conscious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope it happens too, but mostly to see the chaos it causes with the legal system and if it finds a cool way to end humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I currently live in a place where there aren’t sidewalks for more than 80% of the roads (heck I’ve lives in a place that had two roads with sidewalks and only 4 with pavement) treating roads as inherently unsafe is fair only in the context of stupidly large cities. There are still a bunch of cities that have dirt (not gravel) roads and they suit the needs because if there aren’t hundreds of people needing to use a road it doesn’t need to be able to handle dozens of cars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  would lifting the people by the sholder with a seatbelt solve the issue of standing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have driven a car with a form of lane assist, it works fine when the lanes are easily seen and the weather is fine. The only way as system like that should be allowed to exist without a disable button is with extremely precise GPS maps because everything else seems to fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  so you want to ruin childhood by placing pointless restrictions on bikes?

  people don’t like wasting time in traffic and will happily take a slightly higher death rate to get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  excellent, the boss will be proud of the new performance numbers, therapy will no longer be covered by insurance to improve the sense of dread.
