It does not need to be straight, but I’m not in the sporting good section looking for a hockey stick.

Until they pull a Microsoft and start throwing ads into the paid model as well.
Or like all the other streaming platforms that had add but you paid the subscription.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 3 weeks ago:
Good point on the taxation, as taxing automaton may result in less incentive to automate.
IMO the Star Trek type utopia would only work if we had replication technology like they have in the show. Those machines that essential make anything you want from food/water to material things out of thin air.

I believe OP was referring to a utopian Star Trek style UBI where all things are provided with matter replication. Essential life at that point is the betterment of ones self and evwyone around them.
But you are correct in our world currently UBI would work more as a cushion or buffer. It would ideally allow individuals that are stuck in jobs they hate, to move to jobs they actually enjoy and are good at.
It would mean less fear of loosing a job and give workers more power. You would not be able to live on the wage at your current life style, but it would allow you to at least survive in someway if you lost your job.
I believe the best way for something like this to get implemented is by taxation of businesses that have automated they workforces. For example a car production line has removed human roles and replaced them with machines, or a store removed cashiers and replaced them with self checkouts.

Its funny that basis things like working plumbing, or access go clean water could be considered luxurious.
I would keep my current job as well but take a day off each week (instead of one of my weekend days) to cleanup my surrounding neighbourhood. I would probably use the extra income to repair some wood benches, buy paint to cleanup graffiti on walls, and throw down grass seeds along local trails.

- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 2 months ago:
Intelligent Speed Assistance is great, went to Spain a few years back and essentially the car would know the limit of each road and give you a little signal/sound each time you went over. Great feature tbh, took about a day to get used to it at first but after that it was smooth sailing.
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 2 months ago:
I wish cars would get speed limiters installed.
Why stop only at e-bikes? Get them installed inside mobility scooters as well, slow down Grandma!
- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 2 months ago:
This right here unfortunately, the glue will cost more if you only use the glue once. We live in a world where items are easier/cheaper to throw out then repair.
Though I guess the cheapest thing you could do is drill a hole on the backside with a drill and put a screw through it. Only a short screw that goes into the cylinder/shaft.
- Comment on This is way too expensive for a drink. 4 months ago:
If it was in a glass bottle maybe I would buy it. Plastic pagaking should be more expensive IMO

- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 7 months ago:
Bike lanes IMO are good for anything that needs a even level surface (as long as it’s not a car).
Most sidewalks I come across always seems to ramp up and down for driveways. I would even say a mobility scooter or even a wheel chair is perfectly acceptable in a bike lane. Most sidewalks are way go narrow unfortunately.

It’s like ordering a Big Mac and getting a cheese burger
- Comment on Shrinkflation is out of control 8 months ago:
Absolutely agree with you.
It’s anecdotal, but I think this product was only introduced a little over a year ago in the supermarket that I shop. I don’t remember seeing this $10 “value pack” prior to this, and I pick one up usually every 4-5weeks consistently.

- Comment on What's up with the end-to-end encryption notification all over the whatsapp? 8 months ago:
BBM and Signal also have full supported encryption in transit and end to end.
In these both instances the messages sent are only able to be read by by the recipients. If anyone gains access to Blackberry or signals servers the messages would be unreadable.
- Comment on What's up with the end-to-end encryption notification all over the whatsapp? 8 months ago:
The answer is it depends really on the email provider you are using, and the email provider your recipient is using on the other end.
In general, email is encrypted “in transit” if the sending and receiving email service providers both support transport layer security (TLS). This enables you to secure data in transit (i.e., when it moves from one party to the other).
In order for emails to be encrypted fully before being sent — meaning that they’re still unreadable to unauthorized users once they’re sitting on the recipient’s email server — both parties must use the same email encryption service (such as ProtonMail).
Examples of fully expected services (between individuals on the service) include things like:
WhatsApp BBM (blackberry messenger) Signal

I wonder if these government officials in the UK would be happy with me opening their physical “private” mail and reading it before handing it to them?
FYI tampering with someone’s mail is illegal. So why would this president not hold true for any form of communication between two or more parties.
- Comment on Why? There is enough space on the parking lot 9 months ago:
I hate this weird behavior, just as much as when I crossing at a intersection and all the cars have their tires right up on the white line. FYI you should see the white line at an intersection on your dash when looking through the windshield.
