Trasferimento comunità Milano su Citiverse
ciao!
Come accennato anche qui: feddit.it/post/19417985/145213… questa comunità è stata precorritrice dei tempi ed è l'unica che ora si ritrova con un vero e proprio "clone" su Citiverse: citiverse.it/category/14/milan…
Visto e onsiderato che Citiverse nasce proprio per le realtà locali penso sia il caso di chiudere questa comunità chiedendo di usare solo l'altra. Su Citiverse è inoltre prevista la possibilità di creare anche delle sottocategorie delle città per i vari quartieri quindi sarà possibile in futuro e su richiesta aprire comunità di Lambrate, San Siro etc cosa invece più complessa e meno gestibile qui su Feddit.
@mapto@feddit.it attualmente sei moderatore di questa comunità, se hai piacere posso farti mod anche di quella su Citiverse.

Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery
Amazon asks corporate workers to ‘volunteer’ help with grocery deliveries as Prime Day frenzy approaches
Exclusive: Amazon office workers in New York requested to donate time over to Fresh delivery process during firm’s busiest timeGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
I don't see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.
So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn't collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?
Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.
As often reminded, that's probably a zoning issue.
Here on a different continent I live in an area BESIEGED by supermarkets, but I buy most of my groceries at the baker (breadmaker) and fruit-and-vegetables shop down the street. They're more expensive but more convenient and higher quality.
With the advantage of there not being a butcher as close-by, meaning I've been eating way more veggies since moving (and eggs, given those are sold in both stores).
Now the issue is they're opening a new pedestrian path that leads straight from my home to the pastry shop on the neighboring block!
Elon Musk hired a dozen Texas lobbyists this year. State law keeps the extent of their influence under wraps.
Musk, the billionaire businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX, influenced several new Texas laws this year. How his lobbyists came about these wins, however, is more of a mystery.
His lobbyists, who represented Tesla, SpaceX and the social media giant X Corp., spent tens of thousands of dollars on things like gifts and meals for Texas elected officials and others during the session, according to an analysis of state ethics data. In most cases, Texas transparency laws do not require lobbyists to disclose which politicians they wined and dined or on behalf of which clients.
A slate of ethics bills, including several to require transparency into who funds mass text messages for political campaigns, failed to become law this year, according to The Texas Tribune. Meanwhile, legislators approved a new law that will reduce the fine for former lawmakers who engage in illegal lobbying activity.
Texas Legislature won’t pass ethics bills this year
Lawmakers filed dozens of bills that would increase transparency around spending in elections and strengthen penalties for campaign and lobbying violations. None are poised to pass.Kate McGee (The Texas Tribune)

Flooded Texas County opposed siren alert system that could have warned residents because of the cost
A recent effort to bolster emergency communication infrastructure failed in the Texas Senate earlier this year
As the death toll from flash floods in Central Texas climbs past 80, scrutiny is mounting over Kerr County's past decisions to reject an outdoor siren alert system due to cost concerns.
Kerr County, located in a flood-prone region of the Texas Hill Country, has previously dismissed proposals for siren-based warning systems, citing financial burden on local taxpayers.
A recent effort at the state level to bolster emergency communication infrastructure, House Bill 13, failed in the Texas Senate earlier this year. The bill would have funded improved disaster alert systems and provided grants for counties to build infrastructure like sirens and radio towers, according to the Texas Tribune.
Some lawmakers, including state Rep. Wes Virdell, voted against it due to its projected $500 million cost, though several now admit they're reconsidering in the wake of recent events.

Ubisoft isn't the only studio that orders you to destroy your games once support ends
Ubisoft is being called out for a clause people have discovered in its licence agreement that orders owners of its games to destroy them should the studio choose to end service for those games. However, not only is the clause not new, as some have implied, but Ubisoft is far from the only studio that has it in its licence agreement.Not only has that clause been in the Ubisoft EULA for a while, but the same sentiment can be found in EULAs you've agreed to before playing other games from an array of different studios. As highlighted by Amon274 on Reddit, the same clause can be found in the EULAs for various games on Steam, including Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Oblivion Remastered. A Phasmophobia dev also pointed to a similar clause in multiple agreements when the game was called out for the exact same thing two years ago.
Even your copies of Baldur's Gate 3 have got to go if Larian Studios ever deems it so.

They made computers behave like annoying salesmen | exotext
The population (especially the younger generation, who never seen a different kind of technology at all) is being conditioned by the tech industry to accept that software should behave like an unreliable, manipulative human rather than a precise, predictable machine. They're learning that you can't simply tell a computer "I'm not interested" and expect it to respect that choice. Instead, you must engage in a perpetual dance of "not now, please" - only to face the same prompts again and again.
