Ding ding ding
Streaming is the new cable, just more expensive now. Each platform is like a bundle of TV channels.

Publically fund it, and make it “free”?
I know not a popular opinion and the argument is always the same. If I dont use it why do I pay for it? But…
Public libraries are “free” and publicly funded. Public schools are “free” and publicly funded. Public streets are “free” and publicly funded. Public plumbing. Not everyone uses all these things, but we all fund them.

Radio ads were why I switched to Spotify years ago. Though when Spotifys ads started being a little more intrusive I switched to Plex and Plexamp. My next switch may be jellyfin and Finamp.

If he had any decency or moral, Trump shouls have stepped down himself.
Also, kindly remind everyone with a vagina and everyone who cares about someone with one: This year’s presidential election is about abortion access. Roe vs Wade was repealed by extremist MAGA judges appointed by Trump.

- Comment on Melbourne's $13 billion toll road cash cow – How drivers are about to cough up even more 4 months ago:
Saying hello and welcome to the club Melbourne.
Canadians in Ontario sold their toll highway for a quick buck years ago to a private firm. Worst decision ever, and we still pay the tolls.
Though I guess with our local governments track recorded in keeping public infrastructure maintained the 407 would have probably been closed for safety concerns over comple lack of maintenance.

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? 6 months 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.
- 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? 6 months ago:
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.

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 8 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? 8 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.
