Are you based in the US? Seeing how the current regime is doing its best to gut climate protections I get how it could seem that way, but it’s definitely not the case in e.g. Europe where energy from renewables continues to grow.
Anecdotally, as I spend time between the US and the EU, the divide is large and clear now. It feels like folks in the US sort of just gave up (me included to an extent), whereas in Europe there seems to be a stronger resolve at a personal level and institutional level, to keep reducing energy use, plastics, driving, waste, etc. The US on the other hand is accelerating overconsumption in all directions.
It's especially depressing for me when it comes to younger folks. In Seattle where I live (not the suburbs, actual Seattle) some teenagers drive to school in 6 seater SUVs and spend their lunch time in there, with the engine on. A minority of students of course but that's still a mindfuck... in Europe they would get so much shit from other kids and neighbors. Drop in the bucket in terms of actual emissions but a very strong symbol of the lack of awareness/motivation.
The individual contributions from emissions are much smaller than industrial scale emissions. People can still do what you describe if we magically move all power production to solar/nuclear, and move to cleaner airplanes, and things would be headed in the right direction global warming wise.
Most countries including the US are deploying record amounts of renewables. But the climate conversation is definitely reduced, and that's global. Its been a good while since I saw angsty euro teens throwing tomato soup on paintings or gluing themselves to motorways. That used to be a monthly occurance.
What is the effect of the new climate initiatives? Undoubtedly $trillions have been spent on what might be termed 'fighting climate change' by all means possible. Looking at the Mauna Loa data on C02, can anyone see any effect at all?
https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/. I merely present this as an observation. In other words, your comment is spot on at least with respect to the EU.
There's a "top of stack" effect in that there can be only a certain number of issues which are most important in discourse, and the Israel/Iran situation has taken over the top of discourse as has the US President.
A vital part of good governance is caring about things which aren't in today's newspaper.
> If your original thoughts achieve a tangible result through this tool, the ownership should reside with the thinker.
What if you ask the tool “come up with an idea and build it” and it makes you an (obviously) derivative app? Or what if (closer to this post) you say “copy this thing, but differently so we don’t get into legal trouble”? Is any of those an “original thought” worthy of ownership of the output?
> There is an obvious moral question here, but that isn’t necessarily what I’m interested in.
And thus we arrive at the absolute shit state the world is in. We keep putting morality aside for something “more interesting” then forget to consider it back in when making the final point.
> Switzerland is a fundamentally different environment. Two of the things Switzerland is most famous for are also highly conducive to data protection: privacy and neutrality.
> When a law enforcement agency in the US requests user data from a Swiss company, it is illegal for that company to provide the data. At Proton, we reject all data requests from foreign agencies.
> Proton and other Swiss companies will only hand over user data when ordered to do so by a Swiss authority. And even then, Proton’s general policy is to challenge data requests whenever possible and only comply after all legal remedies have been exhausted.
So maybe your parent poster is confused? They do claim that being Swiss protects them from requests from foreign entities, but not Swiss entities. Which is what happened here, the Swiss authorities asked Proton for the data, then they handed it to the FBI.
Has Proton challenged the data and “only complied after all legal remedies have been exhausted”, though? That’s another question.
I wonder if the FBI knew it was going to be a pain in the ass asking for actual account access from the Swiss so they asked for financial records instead. Terrorism charges look pretty serious (regardless of how legitimate they are) so I'm sure that's what pushed the Swiss and Proton to comply.
I’m aware Google bans accounts for wrong reasons, what I’m asking is about a case (as implied by OP) where they seemingly did so because someone sang a copyrighted song in a video. There are different degrees of bad, and that one would be up there.
You say it no longer is the case because they changed the rules. So does that mean it did happen? Could you share a link?
there are plenty of examples throughout history, although i haven’t heard much about it recently. tl;dr you don’t have a gmail account, you have a google account. if that account gets banned on one service, you may lose everything.
> tl;dr you don’t have a gmail account, you have a google account. if that account gets banned on one service, you may lose everything.
I’m perfectly aware.
> there are plenty of examples throughout history
I’m not asking about plenty of them, I’m asking about one. Has there been a case where, as you said, Google has banned an account because someone sang a copyrighted song in a video? That’s the one I want to read about.
I don’t have any sympathy for large corporations and I don’t use Google services, I just want to be informed about draconian tech decisions.
Did you make up that story? It’s OK if you did as a hyperbole, I just want to know.
> There is no such security feature. Perhaps a TLS issue?
Definitely user error. If you install Python from the website, instead of using the developer tools or Homebrew (which requires the developer tools), you also have to run the `Install Certificates.command` which comes with it.
