We use AI models processed on-device

If it’s opt-in, and the processing is done on-device, then I have no reason to be outraged.

But the skeptic in me asks “what’s in it for google?”.

No thanks. They’ll put features like “save your recording” or “edit your recording” behind a paywall subscription, just like they ruined their other cameras.

They are the epitome of enshittification, unfortunately.

Before you do that, let the people, orgs, and companies who insist on using those platforms know that they will no longer be able to reach you.

It’s not enough for users to abandon those sites, big players need to, too.

JuryNow doesn’t store any personal data or persistent user identifiers. The questions and votes are not linked to individuals in a way that would allow tracking behavior over time.

Great to hear!

There is a User Agreement, Liability, Disclaimer etc…

Are these currently in place? I don’t see links to them on the homepage, or during the sign-up screen.

Sounds like they need to degrow their car infrastructure.

Copenhagen was in the same boat (couldn’t support the cost of car-dependency), and they made a complete turnaround once they moved away from cars as the default.

You can do it, Pasadena!

edit: fixed a Freudian slip! LOL

I like the idea, but it needs a privacy policy. If someone answered 100 of those questions, the insight into their behaviour would be incredibly valuable to bad actors.

Guaranteeing anonymity would make this much better.

“Stop at these lights, because there’s a camera. Feel free to blow through the next few reds, though!”

• new red light camera signage

Um, no.

The problem is that drugs impact the poor the most. So making them easier to get, “legal”, and cheaper just puts them in a deeper hole.

When you see a government, like Ontario under Ford, who HATES the homeless, but also wants to dump hundreds of millions into the alcohol industry, you can start to see a pattern of systemic discrimination targeting those who are most vulnerable.

All of these drugs suck, but they suck more if you’re already at a disadvantage.

If approved, municipalities would be required to post more warning signage for ASE and red-light cameras. Officials said cities and towns would require public disclosure on camera locations “to improve transparency.”

Maddening. If motorists are following traffic laws, what difference would this make, because it sure as shit isn’t about “transparency”?

This only benefits those who chose to break the law, and telling them where they can or won’t be caught breaking the law does nothing for public safety.

My OP has been edited for clarity. There’s no need to continue arguing over this point, since we’re still talking about the majority of Albertan voters allowing over 90% of their ridings to go to Conservatives.

Reality is FPTP is cancer.

100%

So is alcohol, and we know how great that’s been. .

Not to mention that legal drugs like alcohol disproportionately impact low-income people.

“Netflix members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, according to the publication.

This is so hilarious when you think about it.

Are their movies and shows so bad that people are watching ads with as much attention?

Or do they mean “pay as much attention” by ignoring the content altogether as they only run Netflix as background noise while they do something else?

😂

Not a bad price and cargo capacity.

These stupid corporations can’t even operate unless they are violating some law. 😒

Having one disability doesn’t mean they are affected by this change.

Of course not, but considering that disability can affect anyone at any age, voting against it is self-harm.

The article says 77,000 people collect disability in Alberta, which is about 1.8% of Albertans.

If Alberta is anything like Ontario, then I’ll bet my life that far more actually need the support, but the runaround you get in applying for support is often a barrier in and of itself.

It’s such a problem that disability lawyers are abound, simply for the application and to manage the work needed to apply and/or reapply if you are denied.

Because if you don’t have a family or finend to help advocate for you, there’s a good chance you’ll give up and suffer in silence.

That said, 27% is a much bigger number than I expected, even for any amount of disability. Do you have a link to that data? I’d be curious to know more about it.

Absolutely. Stats Canada 2022 (released Dec 2023)

As with my point above, I believe the numbers are higher, but actually getting a diagnosis is a barrier for those who need it the most.

People with disabilities are a very small minority,

Stats Canada says that 27% of Albertans over the age of 15 has at least one disability, up over 5% from the previous census data.

That means people voted either against their own interest, or against the interest of someone they likely know or care for. That’s as fucked up as it gets.

And this ignores the fact that seniors are also cast aside by conservative governments. Again, voting against your parents or grandparents, aunts or uncles, if not, yourself. Crazy shit.

Cuts down on traffic, noise pollution, air pollution, “tire dust”, improves public safety, increases foot traffic to shops, increases tourism, makes travel more accessible for all income brackets, strengthens communities, saves the city money, and improves the health of residents.

Nimbys in North America: “I DON’T WANT IT!”

Just to be clear, no, 63.5% of Albertan votes in the federal election went to conservatives.

Yes, but since our current elections are based on ridings, conservatives were handed 92% of those seats.

But no matter what metric we go by, we’re still talking about a majority of Albertan who chose this.

Loblaw has been aggressive in marking which products are affected by tariffs, a tally it has so far limited to a little over 1,000 items. But that total will rise to more than 3,000 within the next week or two, and could peak at over 6,000 within the next two months, according to Bank’s post.

Tariff-affected items will still account for a small share of the roughly 80,000 items the company stocks, but customers will notice changes in categories including natural foods, pantry staples and health and beauty products, he said.

The solution seems simple: these stores need to stop bringing in products from the US, and consumers need to stop buying American goods.

It’s a tiny fraction of what they carry, and alternatives from Canada or other countries can be sourced, and would be more affordable than American goods with tariffs on them.

But these companies won’t do that, because they need a reason to raise prices on everything… tariffs or not.

I highly doubt the liberals would have done any of that if not for the NDP.

Well, these were all platform promises through many of those “lost Liberal years”, so I’m not sure where the doubt comes from. They made good on their promise, and continue to deliver.

The NDP absolutely helped tip the scale when they had a minority government, because the cons would never give their support.

The point is, conservative governments don’t like socialism when it helps people, and thank the gods that the liberals and NDP do!
