Yeah they are and they need to act like seperate businesses to each other. But Google is just going to loan YouTube money when it needs to. Google is basically playing the game with infinite money.

Or you can setup RSSFeeds direcrly and also include news articles and other stuff

Youtube started when hosting video’s was way easier. The files where smaller, the bandwidth of most people wasn’t that great either. Storage was more expensive though.

These days everybody wants 4K footage and everybody was 100-1000+ mbps internet and we have 4K screens so we can also watch it.

The competitors who host it are either paid up front or porn sites. Because there is no real way to start up a competitor to YouTube. I decided to accept that and I have RSSfeeds of all the creators I like to watch so I bypass the algorithm

Safari in itself also blocks a lot of ads, but if that is not enough IOS users can also install Firefox. There is no reason to watch ads anymore

Sadly I still see that ads benefit a lot of my clients. The more advertising they do the more revenue they get, but this is only for small to medium sized companies. However if every company in the world spends 100k on adverts on platforms like Google we would easily surpass the 10b.

Dropshippers are the best example of this. No ads means no revenue.

Dutch is way worse than English regarding inconsistencies it’s not even funny.

Sadly Dutch is adapting to make some thing “proper” Dutch which where never proper Dutch and sound wrong to every native Dutch speaker. Like “groter als jij” instead of “groter dan jij”.

One of those theories is the circulair economy which basically against consumerism and working more on the r-ladder to make companies produce better goods.

But first the US needs to get their shit together with bullshit that is designed for people to buy as much as possible like the taxes not being included in the price. Same with tips and other fees. Normally that is called misinformation on price, but American jusr accepts it. Some people even defend that bullshit.

Another theory involves giving people other benefit than more which is more in line with how it worked in mid-century. But then instead of having a king ontop have the state untop

You can ask for an invoice. O wait companies in North America cannot make proper incoices for some weird fucking reason.

It should just all be included in the price (excluding shipping and the fee when paying with a creditcard or paypal instead of a bankcard) and people should make more trouble out of them not doing that.

A CPA is required to higher other professionals when their knowledge doesnt reach to the subject in question, so yeah they would get a security or privacy specialist to help them. The upside of using a CPA is that they would look at the entire process. The rapport of a CPA is going to be a lot more expensive though.

In the US people defend that companies don’t publish their annual reports, plus some people also defend these companies regardless of what they do. It’s almost religion. But if you would require companies to at least publish some figures and require bigger companies to have a statement signet by a CPA then more of these companies would have issues. Since a CPA can generally get in a lot of trouble if they mess up (at least here in NL)

They don’t need to be hostile audit’s, heck that’s probably the worst way of doing it. Work together with the company and help them to pass the audit and they will be more transparent .

Not American, so idk what I am speedrunning. Maybe I can finally post a time on speedrun.com

People should vaccinate and daycares should have the option to ban kids. Yes it can then transfer at school, but there is no good alternative for that.

There should be a difference between using Whatsapp while in a county with good privacy laws (like one of the EU member) or one without.

As far as I know Meta only collects and abuses data it get’s from people where there are now laws in place to prevent it (so why wouldn’t they do it).

We should normalise the audits on security and privacy that are done by proper accountants. It doesn’t help that a lot of people call bookkeepers accountants which isn’t correct, but a signature from an accountant (CPA/AA/RA or whatever) should have some impact to prove the services are secure or private.

“Estimated taxes” what is that for bullshit? You can just calculate how much the tax should be.

I know it’s not how it works in the US, but if they advertise it for 13$ they should sell it for 13$ including tax.

Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.

But you should first try to reuse something bedore you start to repurpose (or reuse it). If it can’t be repaired or it isn’t viable enough (because nobody want’s it or nobbody wants to pay for the repair) then reuse it

No it’s not, the full ladder is basically (and even legally here in NL rvo.nl )

1. Refuse and rethink
2. Reduce
3. Re-use
4. Refair/refurbish
5. Recycle
6. Recover

But the saying is often used as “Repair, Reuse, Recycle” in the right to repair programs.

Isn’t the recommended amount a lot lower than 6-8 ounces? It’s like 500g or 5 ounces per week.

Reparing is the first one, idk where reduce comes into the saying.

Maybe we need to include a 4th R?

Ideally people wouldn’t use abbreviations in general context. Searching for it on Ecosia doesn’t help that much either.

But coalitions are a mess on their own, just check politics in Europe. At least Geert Wilders is only an example for Trump and nowhere near as bas

Bidets aren’t common in a whole lot of countries. Heck there are probably more countries where a bidet is uncommon than common.
