This is not the same. This is like shouting a slur on a bus. Even if you aimed it at yourself, it can still cause harm to those around you.

I thought it was very well loved?

No need to use a slur. Say careless or misremembering instead.

"Look what you made me do" is not the justification you think it is. Nobody is defending that attack, and it is still not reason enough to shoot children.

Good! Not all companies do that and I highly doubt school districts in most places will. They tend to be underfunded and understaffed

Yes. There are tons of enterprise tools to lock devices to certain activities. Surveillance is not necessary and will be used to violate privacy, and I am not talking about just on device communication. Remember when companies were caught using their employees cameras without any indication on the device? The suspected benefits of surveillance is not worth the potential harm.

As with most things, it is not that simple. First off, it is not one fish species:

Fall chinook salmon numbers plummeted by more than 90% and spring chinook by 98%. Steelhead trout, coho salmon and Pacific lamprey numbers also saw drastic declines.

That is a big part of the ecosystem, and losing all of that is also bad for people in the long term. Water quality was an issue with these dams, with toxic algae blooms being common. They are also restoring the ecosystem along the riverbanks, which should help mitigate the ever increasing wild fire threat that southern Oregon faces.

On the power production front, Oregon is moving away (albeit slowly) from methane plants. The plan is to be there by 2040, which is just over 15 years, not 30.

Overall, this is not a one or the other kind of thing. Restoring the rivers and habitats can, should, and is being done while simultaneously working to clean up the grid.

Beehaw is really my only social media unless you count personal discord servers, so not a result of doom scrolling in my case. I have just seen what hyper capitalism does to new tech (looking at you, AI). But yeah, good point, in this case labor displacement is more of a concern. The article mentions requiring servers still, so that is what brought to mind the Amazon grocery stores.

Gods, I wish we lived in the kind of society where when I see something like robot servers I could simply say, "That is cool." Unfortunately thanks to the capitalist hellscape we are in, my reaction is "How are they going to exploit people to make this work." Like how the Amazon grab and go grocery stores turned out to be just people being paid super low wages

Yup. All around bad for people. Much like the Safeway Albertson's merger was also very bad.

Gods I hope this merger is killed. It would be so bad for all consumers. In my neighborhood there are 4 grocery stores. 2 Safeways, 1 Fred Meyer, and a Grocery Outlet. If it goes through, that is 75% Kroger. At least if I go a few miles down the road there is a local chain (that is sadly super expensive, think whole foods but local) and a Trader Joe's.
