Norway has some surprising stats
  • Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

  • This Is Why There's No New Stargate Yet » GateWorld
  • Yeah, it's not a happy show.

    Stargate SG-1, despite the tragic backgrounds of some of the leads, well, we see one plot unfold in the pilot, is one of the more fun and positive sci-fi shows around.

  • Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices
  • Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

    It's all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it's online, it should be available everywhere.

  • YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users
  • I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it's theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they'd be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google's, I mean.

  • Reddit no longer links your content when they ban you, and you can only appeal once
  • Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

    I imagine they're banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

  • Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.
  • Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.

  • Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.
  • We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people's work, than what individuals are doing with what they've paid for.

    Or simply, if someone's profiting off of someone else's work, then worry about the rules.

  • EU Parliament passes law requiring 42.5% of EU energy to be renewable by 2030
  • Such a waste not supporting nuclear power since decades ago.

    Shouldn't have renewable energy targets, but deadlines for shutting down all coal power plants, then oil, and production of fossil fuel vehicles, then a cap on the amount of natural gas that can be used.

  • Biden says global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war
  • Of course. Climate change is happening, and will keep getting worse until all the biggest countries agree to do and actually go through with doing something substantial about it (or to fully isolate the economies of those that refuse). Nuclear war is just an idea.
