The revenues should have never gone to the police in the first place, they should go into redesigning and rebuilding problematic stroads so the cameras become unnecessary over time while other new permanent features of the road like speedbumps, curves, narrowing, and other traffic calming changes will enforce the speed limits passively.

As much as I wish your estimates were true, you have no numbers to back you up. They seem wildly optimistic.

Plenty of people still use it for work

When the black plague happened in Europe centuries ago, enough people died that hiring labourers became a competitive process, so wages and benefits went up. Assuming business minded right wingers pay attention to history, they probably want to avoid a repeat.

Religious social conservatives want more babies because their religion demands it.

Racists feel threatened by immigration and want to rebalance the population in their favour.

Fedora is great but installing nvidia drivers is just enough of a hassle for most people to skip over it and choose a derivative like Bazzite

Simon Clark had a pretty good nuanced video on recycling and goes over plastics recycling in the latter parts of the video https://youtu.be/iOtrvBdRx8I

TL;DW Consider the environmental impact of systems over materials, most plastic doesn’t get recycled but some types of plastic are highly recyclable, existing plastic is undervalued, reduce > reuse > recycle.

Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS

Books are not immune to being written by LLMs spewing nonsense, lies, and hallucinations, which will only make more traditional issue of author/publisher biases worse. The asymmetry between how long it takes to create misinformation and how long it takes to verify it has never been this bad.

Media literacy will be very important going forward for new informational material and there will be increasing demand for pre-LLM materials.

Interesting insights into how controlled the narrative is in /r/canada on Reddit. One of the things that struck me was that there’s no self posts in /r/canada unlike many other countries’ and provinces’ subreddits. It would be nice if we differentiated ourselves here on Lemmy with more self posts
