Rentlar@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Trump migrant detentions at Guantanamo Bay cost $100,000 per person daily, senator says5·15 hours agoI did, oops. The original (in opposite order) would be how Republican deficit hawks would think how wasteful each would be.

Spending $100,000/day to make a non-American’s life miserable: real shit

Rentlar@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.zip•Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgradeEnglish9·23 hours ago- Creative Club software subscription
- Create tiers to segment what people are receptive to being squeezed in order to maintain all features
- Add a premium currency in addition to the subscription for AI features
- Make tiers of premium currency that can be used for some features but not others…
Did an AI make this pricing strategy with the aim to double and triple dip on their customers as much as possible?

Rentlar@lemmy.cato CanadaPolitics@lemmy.ca•How is Mark Carney Leading like a Daoist Sage?1·24 hours agoI like Carney, yet I want to call the author’s arguments Carney Copium. However I see his point that Carney is governing for all Canadians, not just for the smart and politically informed among us. So stuff like the legislatively meaningless signing ceremony is, to an extent, the communication part of policy that leftists like myself forget as part of the strategy.
I do worry about the pitfall of policy by poll where Carney just keeps copying things that the oil-money machine keeps peddling, ratcheting his leadership further right.
However I still have the impression and confidence that Carney can pull off fiscally prudent and politically viable progressivism since he’s a lot smarter than, say, Doug Ford.
Rentlar@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Loblaw says number of tariff-affected products will triple in coming weeks - National | Globalnews.ca4·1 day agoThe TFW policy on immigration is terrible and an issue absolutely, but you’re using it as a whataboutism away from the topic at hand – that is chiefly a Loblaws decision to screw over people and reap the benefits from it.
Rentlar@lemmy.cato British Columbia@lemmy.ca•How are tourists from the northwest USA viewed here in BC?3·1 day agoYou’ll be welcomed with open arms. Just don’t be outwardly an example of the American characteristics (anti-intellectual, anti-science and religious fundamentalist) you are trying to have a vacation from here, which I don’t think will be a challenge for you.
Rentlar@lemmy.cato British Columbia@lemmy.ca•BC is seeking public input on electoral reform2·1 day agoExcess votes from winners go proportionally to the winner voters’ second choices and then the last place voters’ go to their next favourites and so on? Am I understanding this right?
Seems like a neat system, since the Proportional I’m used to is Local Candidate + Proportional Party bloc vote.

do we blame immigrants or Canadian government
LOL
Rentlar@lemmy.cato PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Looking for guidance with troubleshooting system lockups unless the CPU is limited in softwareEnglish2·2 days agohttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling
Here’s a resource you can read up on the various software, commands and tooling available to adjust CPU parameters. Packages where these softwares can be found might be different between arch, redhat and debian based distros.
For the problem itself, my first check for onset crashing is always thermals, but since its been happening since the beginning then might be a hardware issue with the CPU itself.
Rentlar@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?116·3 days agoYour options (pick any combination you please):
- do whatever you can do to make it more bearable in the short term (turn down volume of AI warnings, whatever else you can configure)
- Unionize
- Bargain with your company/Negotiate your contracts
- Get hired by a new company that gives a shit about their employees
- Become an owner-operator
- start a trucking firm with a bunch of other drivers that are fed up with that bullshit
- Find a different kind of job that doesn’t require AI to surveil and harass you.
It’s typically a US chain practice, but I see it in Canada since we have plenty of Walmarts and Costcos and the like here, I did see it at Hudson’s Bay do it on at least one occasion. Not sure about Europe, not common in Japan since their return policies are different and final sale products tend to use a sticker instead.
Factor of pi-safety
If a postal service needs to make money, it should do what Canadian Tire, Rogers, Loblaws all did - start offering banking services.
