Canada may need to double — if not triple — the power we make to get to net-zero emissions by 2050
  • No, no ,no!!!! Nuclear is bad mmmmkay? I would like to present you with a link to a video where we use carbon tax to. And then support greener energies and green tech to make the earth a cleaner. We need to accept that we damged the earth and the more we put towards carbon tax will. The video will consist of apologies, thoughts and prayers, including reconciliation, and the pathway to the future. Please find the link here:

    Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading
  • Airbnb is a bane on our society and massive contributer to the housing shortage.

    This company needs to get sued into oblivion with their shitty practices and non transparent charges.

  • Feds need to step in and do it.

    This is disgraceful, and the only thing the local politicians want to do is put more garbage on top of a body.

    Reconciliation is not just a word. Its meaning is judged by actions. This could easily boost the liberals in polls as well, which it isn't about but they still refuse to do a fucking thing. Disgusting on all levels, especially when it was all hands on deck to find billionaires in a poorly built underwater capsule.

    Canada excluded from Google's expansion of AI chatbot Bard
  • AI is data scraping from a landfill of the internet. The only difference is that it's a gonewild version of it. I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

    Tell me how it needs to be said for someone to feel like it's a human empathetic response but it comes from AI. We aren't there. And as it progresses we will never be.

    I'll bet my last dollar that this AI movement for replacing people and jobs is nothing more than the same we have seen in the past with self checkouts, speech to text and the likes of that. It will be uses in areas where data is finite, but human subjective is a different beast.

    Is the Bank of Canada making things worse?
  • Except the BoC is not affiliated with the federal government. The feds have no control over what the BoC decides.

    BoC tried to limit the money out there, the feds start printing checks and sending them out to Canadians. Its a slow game of lose and lose for all Canadians, except the rich.

  • Not to rain on that parade, but there are some pretty inovative companies using AI for the betterment of society as a whole. What we all hear and see in the media is really stupid corporate types of AI use, which ultimately will fail because AI lacks one thing we all possess, and that is feeling. AI lacks the ability to insightfully mix in feeling to convey the output.

    Where it's great is where it's all used for calculations similar to how super computers were used.

    Big oil quietly walks back on climate pledges as global heat records tumble
  • Well, no shit. Hadn't thought of that.

    Imagine spending all the time and effort just to be bought out by a big terrible monster they have all been claiming were bad. Enjoy the clams.

  • Sounds like they were highly motivated to make the world better. Oops, guess they weren't. Just profit driven whores like many other big disaster companies in the world.

    Anyways, there always nuclear power.

    B.C. family evicted for demolition but found new tenants were moved in - BC | Globalnews.ca
  • No idea about recourse in BC, but in Ontario former tenants have a year after a bad faith eviction to go after landlords for moving costs and a year's worth of rent difference the tenant has to pay at the new location, there may be some other things I'm missing. Unfortunately, I think the max is up to 35k, which sadly may not even cover the cost in loses.l, but better than nothing.

    I hope there is something like that there. greedy landlords are a big part of the housing issues we are experiencing. Too many landlords that operate like cowboys in the wild west. They need to be penalized.

  • changing instances in the connect app?

    Please bare with me if this is a really noob question. Still finding my feet here.

    Im using the connect app and created my account on the propiracy lemmy instance. However, as I'm learning about other instances, I was interested in creating a different account on a nsfw instance. Don't shame me! When I go into settings, I have no ability to manually change the instance, there are 3 other prepoulated instances that I can tap and the instance field will change. Those aren't the instances I'm looking for.

    Wondering if what I am trying to do is even an option. Can we have multiple profiles within the connect app that reference different instances?

    Thanks to anyone that can help.
