Well not affiliated with them in anyway. But Mullvad will take cash in an envelope for your payment with no record of who you are. Just a thought should this pass. 😂
I'm always hoping for a safety car at this point in a race.
But the news org provides that summary with the page to Facebook... it's part of the Open Graph Protocol which... is for facebook. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform#Open_Graph_protocol
Lets look at the source of a CBC News story.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-variant-ba-2-86-1.6943005
property="og:description" content="A highly mutated variant of the virus behind COVID-19 has popped up in multiple countries, but scientists aren't yet sure whether it will fuel a fall wave of infections or simply fizzle out."/>
So if the news companies are upset that Facebook is showing a summary... maybe stop providing a summary to facebook explicitly in your code?
I find this outrage so funny. "Hey you give me $500 for this used Timmies cup?" "No" "How dare you!"
Why would Meta / Google want to pay 250+ million dollars a year to link to news sites? Do you think they're generating billions of dollars in revenue from those links?
less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.
The WHO considers that light? Holy crap... so if you're drinking 2 bottles of wine yourself per week you're a "light drinker"
The article says "Financial markets data firm Refinitiv says Telus had 108,500 workers at the end of last year."
Personally I find this hilarious. The argument that Meta (Facebook) and Google are making "so much money" from Canadian News is in itself laughable. If anything they're helping keep Canadian News relevant by suggesting it to people. No-one forced CBC to go make an instagram account etc.
So I think the law is working great. They demanded if you're going to link to a website you have to pay them a share of the revenue you generate. So these companies have elected that it's not worth the cost and will not link to them. Seemingly the media is going full shocked pikachu over this.
Isn't this one of the reasons they're paid insanely well?
According to indeed.
CA$93,823 /yr -- Firefighter
CA$110,848 /yr -- Senior Firefighter
CA$123,695 /yr -- Lead Firefighter
It's a manual labour job that pays basically six figures when you start. The reason for that is the risk... The same reason other jobs pay high like crab fisherman.
This is going to be my hot take of the day.
Cars are very much part of our lives and we decided that there was a minimum age to own and operate them. I could potentially get behind a system where we don't let children below a certain age operate / own a phone.
It's illegal to smoke with a kid in your car, but we have no problem giving a 10 year old kid unfiltered internet 24/7 as a society.
I didn't even know there was a hard coded slur filter lol
Yeah it's insane to me that these failing businesses due to lack of giving a shit will soon have their hand out for Government money and some are eager to prop them up.
Maybe actually have local news, and maybe actually generate interesting stories rather than just printing the AP wire and calling it 'town name press'.
