At least some of the app developers have realized that if they develop for Postgres they get to keep the Sql Server licensing costs for themselves. Windows server licensing costs too, if they're clever.
Unfortunately the old janky enterprise shit will probably never get updated. You know the ones. The ones that think they're new and hip because they support SSO (Radius only)
Like most of Microsoft's more odious features, this one can be turned off through GPO/Intune policy across an organization. As such, the liability will mostly fall on the organization to make sure it's off. The privacy and security impacts will be felt by individuals and small businesses.
They claim that the data is only stored locally, so far. We'll see, I guess.
I don't think this is a good example of class struggle, at least not directly. The bear meme is valid in as much as it describes one woman's feelings, but the truth is that in 85-90% of cases, the woman knows her attacker^1^. The random man is simply not the issue.
The issue is power disparity. Teacher vs student, employer vs worker, landlord vs tenant. It's difficult to reduce the power difference due to physical strength, but the others are all changeable. More (meaningful) oversight for police, better tenancy boards, and stronger unions are all examples of structures that might make it harder to victimize women.
Class struggle explains economic, and maybe political power, but those are not the only types of power in play.
And if I'm wrong? Then we've made a better society for nothing.
Canada's economy added five times the number of jobs that were forecast for April and the unemployment rate unexpectedly held at 6.1 per cent, but wages grew at the slowest pace in 10 months, data showed on Friday....
For a concrete example of what @asterfield said, if there are 10 workers, and 9 of them are making minimum wage ($17.40 in BC), then the remaining worker would make $192.90/hr. $1772.40/hr if 99/100 make minimum wage.
Median is definitely the better measure, though no single measure is adequate to answer the question of whether Canadians are better off than they were last year.

It's literally the opposite of taxing innovation. If you reinvest your revenue back into improving the company, you don't pay any tax. If you use the revenue to prop up stock prices instead, expect to pay taxes on the capital gains.

bears won’t stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you
Actually they will (sometimes). I had one young black bear that kept approaching me like a shy dog. It kept looking away and pretending to nibble bushes when I shouted at it. I left before finding out if it wanted to eat me (it probably did, being first thing in the spring). Another time we had a black bear that wasn't too obviously aggressive, but followed one of our crew around for two days. We ended up shooting it because we were in a fly-in camp and couldn't leave.
Most bears I met walked or ran away, including grizzlies.
For what it's worth, in Canada the recommendation is to base the response on bear behaviour, taking into account the bear species. Don't challenge or threaten a bear that's protecting its cubs, or guarding a kill. Do challenge a curious bear, and fight back against predatory bears. Some information here: https://bcparks.ca/plan-your-trip/visit-responsibly/wildlife-safety/#page-section-405
Of course, since bears behave like big dumb humans, the advice mostly also applies to meeting people too :)
The question is so vague as to be essentially useless. It leaves so much to the reader to imagine that everyone is all over the place drawing different conclusions. How much does the reader know about forests? What kind of forest did they imagine? What kind of bear? When the reader imagines a random man, what pops into their mind? Does he live there, or was he randomly kidnapped and placed in the forest for the purpose of the scenario?
Further, even if we go with what some other posters are saying, and ignore the bear, it's still kind of useless, except to highlight how careful women feel they have to be around strange men.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
Veganism at its core is a moral stance. If not for the moral issues, these people would probably be vegetarian instead. That's not to say that all vegans are the aggressive evangelist kind, but pretty much all vegans choose their diet out of moral concerns (in addition to health and environmental reasons).
What "other side"? Vegans? I suppose there are some who are just sort of "cultural vegans" too, where they don't have a moral stance, but are vegan because their friends or family are.
I'm not sure if maybe you're reading more negativity in my comment than I meant. There's certainly nothing wrong with animal welfare as a moral stance.
Many people who aren't vegan still choose free range eggs, organic beef, fair trade coffee and chocolate.
The 500 mile diet is absolutely a moral choice, even if it includes meat.
Albertans preferentially eating large amounts of Alberta beef is viewed as a virtue there. Veganism is viewed as immoral, unalbertan (amongst some communities).
Or they could suck up a bunch of subsidies to get started, then sell their subsidiary to Loblaws. Foreign company gets cash, and Loblaws gets even more market dominance. Everyone wins!
Because unless you’re a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers. If you’re like everyone else, living a really normal life, and talking to your friends about flying to Japan, then it’s really not that different to advertisers looking at your browsing history.
These days, a private conversation about pregnancy, abortion, voting, or your feelings about geopolitical stuff like Gaza or Ukraine could absolutely be used against you, depending on where you live.
Wireshark may or may not help you here. The proposed mechanism is abusing the wake words, which are processed locally on the device. Each marketing wake word could be processed, set a flag and go back to sleep with no network activity. Periodically a bit array of flags would be sent to the server with any other regular traffic (checking for notifications, perhaps). The actual audio never gets sent. I'm not saying that Facebook actually does this, but it's a reasonable explanation for the behaviour seen in the Vice article.
