How is this not an actual crime? The restaurants had the oil in collection containers to be a collected by someone they had an agreement with, and these people came around and stole it.

Yeah I’ve opted out every time (a couple times each at three different airports) and haven’t had any issues, the agents I’ve seen knew exactly what to do if someone opts out.
Every airport I’ve gone through that’s doing it has half a dozen signs up as you move through the line telling you that you can opt out by letting them know you want to.
I’ve refused it a few times now and every agent knew exactly what they needed to do.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.
5·1 year agoYes, the first one matches only 2 more characters while the second matches 1 or more. Also the +? is a lazy quantifier so it will consume as little as possible.

News@lemmy.world•‘Giant bronze poop’ statue ‘honoring’ those involved in Jan. 6 riot appears on National Mall
225·1 year agoTerrible headline, I assumed the statue was suggesting the people involved are shit. The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.

News@lemmy.world•Oklahoma seeks to buy 55,000 Bibles – exactly like the ones Trump is hawking
56·1 year agoThe point is the requirements have been tailored so that they aren’t just buying bibles for schools (already bad), but their only option meeting the requirements will be the Trump one.
I wouldn’t say the OS is Linux any more than the OS of an Apple computer is XNU. Linux is just the kernel. Similarly the other OS isn’t “Windows NT kernel,” but Windows 10 or Windows 11.

fsck almost certainly isn’t going to cause loss of data, but it will likely inform you about a loss that already occurred if that is the issue you are having.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google and Apple lose their court fights against the EU and owe billions in finesEnglish
21·1 year agoYeah but also this is only for their EU profit, so it’s really an even higher percentage.
It doesn’t really make sense to talk about money they made in other countries when talking about these fines, as if they make 5 billion in profit in country X and get fined 6 billion, they would still have lost money for operating in the country regardless of how much money they made other places. Since they lost money in the country, that fine would be high enough for them to want to fix their law breaking or totally pull out of the country, and so the fine accomplishes its purpose.

Technology@lemmy.world•UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in LondonEnglish
5·1 year agoTo be fair the glorified babysitter wouldn’t require 4+ years of education on educating children, so they probably couldn’t just be “simply teaching.” This is still an awful idea, they seem to be trying to save money by paying a glorified babysitter a lower wage than a teacher. Private schools can be for profit in some place, I wonder if that applies here.

122·1 year agoI’m pretty sure that it’s true that citing sources isn’t really relevant to copyright violation, either you are violating or not. Saying where you copied from doesn’t change anything, but if you are using some ideas with your own analysis and words it isn’t a violation either way.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Rust in Linux lead retires rather than deal with more “nontechnical nonsense”
251·1 year agoI would still say that getting people to the point where they can write safe C code every time is harder than learning Rust, as it’s equivalent to being able to write rust code that compiles without any safety issues (compiler errors) every single time, which is very difficult to do.

News@lemmy.world•How Psychedelic Research Got High on Its Own Supply
1·1 year agoSeems like a reasonable headline in this case given the content of the article.
But the potential for researchers to bias the outcomes of these trials has become a common critique of the psychedelic research field. It is unusual for a drug under F.D.A. consideration to also be used personally and recreationally by the researchers studying it, or even for clinical trial researchers and clinicians to be encouraged to test the drug themselves. But that’s exactly what Lykos has done with MDMA.

Technology@lemmy.world•Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cutsEnglish
1·1 year agoI agree that there’s no problem now, and also that the percentage they are trying to pay is overly low. I think they should be paying somewhere in the vicinity of 50-70% of the buy price, so that is a terrible rate.

Technology@lemmy.world•Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cutsEnglish
2·1 year agoI didn’t say net metering isn’t useful now, I said it wouldn’t work if a large majority of people did it. I don’t see how what you said contradicts that.



They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.
