Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband (arstechnica.com)

Trade groups claimed the state law is preempted by former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai's repeal of net neutrality rules. Pai's repeal placed ISPs under the more forgiving Title I regulatory framework instead of the common-carrier framework in Title II of the Communications Act....

Maeve ,

There's still a very stacked and extremely corrupt scotus.

Maeve ,

You can disable copilot, but it's complicated.

Maeve ,

Trollies?

Maeve ,

Well GM and Goodyear lobbied against public transit when they wanted everyone to buy a car, and probably still do , is why public transit is so awful.

Maeve ,

That's right.

Maeve ,

That seems like a bandaid for a tourniquet problem. We need to address causes, otherwise unlicensed, uninsured drivers will increase.

Maeve ,

I think we could find viable ways to engineer something workable without completely tearing everything down, we just have to work smarter. And get rich people to pay taxes.

How do you propose policing all the drivers without license and insurance? We are already way overpoliced, with horrific results. How would you propose bad drivers get to work and do necessary living activities? I think we need to look for inclusive, compassionate solutions, rather than more punitive, exclusionary solutions.

As TikTok ban threatens stability in social media ecosystem, some brands settle into the fediverse (digiday.com)

The possibility of a TikTok ban is inching closer to becoming a reality at this point. On Tuesday, the Senate passed the bill that would bar the social media platform from operating in the U.S. unless ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, sells its stake....

Maeve ,

Yes. Here comes the enshittification.

Nurses Protest 'Deeply Troubling' Use of AI in Hospitals (www.404media.co)

“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their...

I've worked in health care off and on, in some* capacity, for a long time. I know LPNs who are more knowledgeable than plenty of doctors. As I got older, it dawned on me that it's really the individual. If one is in it as "just a job" they tend to think that degree makes them know it all, which means diddly, without empathy and compassion.

Maeve ,

I've known some damned fine RN that stayed with hospice services or ED, for the need of empathy and compassion. That said, I prefer a FNPor PA to a MD. I've also known some nasty RNs who were just in it for the check, and they made patients and every other employee miserable, on their shifts.

Maeve ,

Sure, but this is the same company that lobbied Nixon to institute HMO rather than public health care.

Maeve ,

Wow, there is so much good info on how the buddy holds mental distress. You've never heard of that?

Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner's children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman's perspective as though men don't want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!...

Maeve ,

But Being a good parent has nothing to do with biology

That part.

Maeve ,

A long time ago, someone from a not free country wrote a white paper on why we should care about privacy, because written words can be edited to level false accusations (charges) with false evidence. This chills me to the bone.

Maeve ,

Tangentially related is related.

Maeve ,

Friendly reminder: There will always be scabs

Maeve ,

Yes. The day after I posted I'd been happily using piped for a few days, it stopped working.

Maeve , (edited )

Yes, been thinking I've just been substituting YT for * TV, and while the consumption can still be customized, it's still a habit that can be kicked. I bet I'll get more sleep and productivity.

Maeve ,

They could probably retain users simply by running ads every 10 minutes, rather than every 3 minutes.

Maeve ,

The cold, hard steel of the sword of truth.

Maeve ,

If it hadn't been for ublock origin, I'd not be on YT this long

Maeve ,

Ouch. Cutting off the nose to spite the face.

Maeve ,

This reply makes me so happy. The books are always better.

Maeve ,

They started messing with me on YT. When Piped began giving me errors last week, YT suddenly started behaving, but nagging me to try YT again. Google is truly evil, and dasterdly to boot .

Maeve ,

They already infiltrated lemmy.

Maeve ,

CSX thanks you for taking the heat off them.

Maeve ,

I used ddg and no ad blocker*, never was an issue until ddg on Android.

Maeve ,

I hope you're right, but I would love to know someone posted this to Geno Joe.

Maeve ,

At a competitor, too.

Maeve ,

Calling somewhere and choosing every option getting nowhere is too.

Maeve ,

And address conditions of despair which push people into crimes.

Maeve ,

There's a notable difference and good lawyers should be able to write the law around it.

Maeve ,

It's a mad world, in every sense of the world, isn't it?

Maeve , (edited )

That's why there's not a cure* for various cancers.

It just gets worse the more you read (suppo.fi)

Reading about the current events got me looking into the history of Palestine and Israel, and I noticed a lot of Israel's politicians (like Yitzhak Shamir, Menachem Begin, and Ariel Sharon to name a few) were Zionist terrorists (using the word literally, not subjectively) since before the establishment of Israel. The groups they...

Maeve ,

Would OP please consider posting this to politics?

Maeve ,

I didn't want to steal credit for someone else's post. Or notoriety. Potato potahto.

Maeve ,

I can only post it to kbin. I've never been approved for Lemmy world or .ml

ETA: annnd I got the error message. Please remind me later

Maeve ,

I got an error message but it posted anyway.

Maeve ,

You already know ..

Maeve ,

Sigh. Unfortunately. For all the ones who do deserve djt/Biden, I beg your pardon and please remember some of us watch with abject horror.

Maeve ,

Tbf, I've rarely had a chili that wasn't mild, unless I or a neighbor who likes it hot made it. You may want to avoid certain salsas (red or green) at restaurants and bodegas where actual ethnic Latin Americans eat, if you're not into spicy, though.

Maeve , (edited )

Oh goodness, see what you've done? Earl Grey is my favorite (hot) tea (it's not bad iced, either) and no access to that! It's rare I have an attack of FOMO, but I do now!

ETA: there is one near someone I've not seen in a few months. I could get her to visit but getting her to bring something I want that she'd have to go out of her way to get is the trick. And she doesn't like Earl Grey, so a promise to share won't work. Thanks for the review, though, I'll look for it tomorrow when I go out of town, assuming my transportation has no problem with it.

Maeve ,

Coffee is good in dark sauces and ice cream. Properly made mole (árbol, iirc) with chocolate is divine, but time and labor intensive. I've never attempted it, but I bought a jar of the hard, oily stuff last shopping fr trip I did, which doesn't have cocoa. It was an impulse buy, since it's really too warm to be making such a heavy dish, barring an Easter cold snap that's chilly enough, and I doubt I'll make it then, since I'll be busy for a few months. If you can get authentic, freshly made, I strongly recommend it.

Maeve ,

Nope, I searched it! It actually sounds good and I want it!

Maeve ,

Your asked them to name a spice they had that wasn't brought by colonization. They were being entirely relevant to your question. I believe that's called "moving the goal posts." I also just stuck my foot in my mouth elsewhere. Lol

Maeve ,

Thank you.

Maeve ,

😂. Wandered, wondered. Oops

Maeve ,

No, but American beer is still nasty.
