Stupidly click baity title. The only corporation that does not pollute is the one that doesn't produce anything. Sure, regulations such as carbon taxes are necessary to contain negative externalities, but if there's a demand for cheap products there will be a lowest bidder that will take all market share.
Lowering our consumption is unfortunately the way to make those companies pollute less.
The same type of program is being introduced at European universities.
In my doctoral school, this is a five hours course, presented as a MOOC. Not too sure it really is useful.
The educated public generally feels concerned about the subject, and such a generic course feels boring to its intended audience.
My go to answer is to say that I don't have a mobile phone. Actually, I have one, but it's only for personal contacts, not for institutions. When a clerk asks me for my phone number, I answer: sure, give me your phone number, I'll text you my contact.
Same for administrations and my employer: my boss has my phone numbers but not HR in my company.
The only institution that has my phone number is my bank, and i'm seriously considering using an alternate authentication method for 2FA at my bank.
If enough of us do that, it won't happen.
It says it has a "high res monitor". For having learned to program graphics on this machine, we had to count the pixels to be able to fit our drawings in the screen: 512x342, that's not a lot of screen real estate. The 640x480 PC screen was a luxury.
Je commence tout juste a m'habituer à kbin et et lemmy.world via l'application Jerboa. Lorsque je change d'instance dans Jerboa, je n'arrive plus à avoir la même interface.
Vous risquez de me perdre (et sûrement quelques autres) pour un temps avec cette migration.
Just don't believe this is anything new. Back in time, people used to seriously believe in faeries, trolls, deamons, angels and other supernatural phenomena.
That's how you could lead people to carry holy wars and consider serfdom and slavery as natural order of things.
Back in the 80's, I remember a report from an ethnologist going to Nepal and meeting people who seriously believed that Russians had goat feet.
If anything, the internet has revealed the credulity of the general population, and provides means to fight and contain superstitions of various kinds.
I'm an optimist.
I do keep this monthly reminder that all my moves are tracked. I find it's better to be kept aware of this than to play it like an ostrich.
This said, in Europe at least, opting out of this service should force google to drop your data, and retain it only in aggregate forms that do not allow reidentifying you.
Y a t'il un TL;PL des principales dispositions ? Notamment les ajouts par rapport aux textes européens du DMAnet du DSA?
Cela me rappelle la faillite de Félix Potin dans les années 80. Ou celle, plus récente, de Tati.
Une enseigne de grande visibilité qui n'arrive plus à évoluer, sans doute a cause d'une direction sclérosée.
Chapman est un vieux rétrograde de l'époque "répressive" de l'anti-tabagisme, représentée aujourd'hui par le CNCT en France. Ces gens là ont en fait peur de cesser d'exister si jamais ils venaient à parvenir à leur objectif de disparition du tabac. Le résultat, c'est que leurs politiques, après avoir connu un certain succès dans la réduction du tabagisme dans les années 80-90, ont perdu toute efficacité à partir des années 2000, où les politiques d'augmentation des prix ont cessé d'être efficaces. Pour leur plus grand bénéfice, celui de l'industrie du tabac et de l'industrie pharmaceutique.
Il a fallu la révolution de la cigarette électronique pour que les autorités de santé publiques renouvellent leur approche: La cigarette électronique, c'est comme la bicyclette.
Aujourd'hui, les stratégies de santé publiques s'orientent vers la réduction des risques, qui a l'avantage de marcher, réduire l'impact sur la santé publique, sans pour autant emmerder le monde avec leurs approches puritaines.
Au passage, soutenez la pétition des associations AIDUCE, SoVape et la Vape du Coeur pour défendre les stratégies de réduction des risques face aux rétrogrades et à l'industrie pharmaceutique.
Also, eating industrial food over organic:
First because, per calorie produced, organic farming emits 12 to 40% more green house gases.
(Depending on the study).
Second, because you'll be less healthy and die sooner.
