Does "pay for privacy" mean "pay to not be tracked on Facebook and Instagram" or "pay to not be tracked on the whole internet"? I can somewhat see a reasoning for the former, but the latter is absolutely inexcusable: Meta doesn't own the internet, and it never should be allowed to.

Also, I'm pretty sure the argument is more about the unequal enforcement of the law. Copyright should be either enforced fairly or not at all. If AI is allowed to scrape content and regurgitate it, piracy should also be legal.

That's one thing, but I think regurgitating it and claiming it as your own is a completely different thing.

Even with XWayland?

Wait, how does Google make money off of paywalled contents?

This sounds egregious. I don't really have any knowledge on the subject, but to play the devil's advocate, could it be possible that the train was bricked because while it can technically still run, it might have some things broken that could lead to hazardous consequences? Again, I have no knowledge on this, I would love if someone who knows more about trains could shed light on this.

Beancount in Org-mode (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 9 months ago by ruination@discuss.tchncs.de to c/emacs@lemmy.ml

I've been thinking of moving my personal bookkeeping to Emacs, and I found out about Beancount, which seems perfect for me. I was wondering, though, if I could (and should) use it with Org-mode and noweb like the ledger tutorial in Worg. If so, what does such a workflow look like? Can I also use capture templates to quickly record transactions?

My general approach to this tends to be to identify what makes me happy in life, splurge on those, save on everything else. For example, I love computers, so I'd splurge on parts, but religiously meal prep to save on food.

Install cameras in their bedroom that streams to YouTube or Twitch 24/7. See if they really have nothing to hide.

It doesn't make sense too, like it's bad enough even if just one died.

Say it louder for the people at the back: adblock is a basic cybersecurity measurs

Even ignoring the surveillance aspect of ads, which I could go on a massive rant about, Google and other ad platforms themselves doesn't seem to care about harming people with malvertising and scam ads. Why should I care about their revenue?

[-] ruination@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Same. I'd rather they not exist, but if they must, better that it isn't under big tech's grubby palms.

Org-mode (discuss.tchncs.de)

Anyone here uses Org-mode for PKM? I'm planning on moving to it from Obsidian, primarily due to Org-babel and the fact that it's open source, and would like to know what your setups and workflows are like with it (plus points if you're a student because I am too)
