King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta teachers vote 95% in support of strikeEnglish18·2 months agoThey have a certain amount of time with this vote to actually do anything with it. The timing of this vote will allow them to negotiate over the summer with the mandate in their back pocket and have the actual strike potentially be in the fall as school is supposed to be coming back.
They do it now because it becomes really hard to organize a vote as soon as summer hits.

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websitetopolitics @lemmy.world•AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New PollEnglish11·3 months agoI disagree. He doesn’t love money. He covets the respect and power that he believes money brings with it and if forever angry that even with the presidency he can’t get the true respect he believes he is entitled to.
Can you think of any other way that seems likely?

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026English21·3 months agohttps://gizmodo.com/plex-is-going-to-make-you-pay-for-its-best-free-feature-2000578442
From what I have been reading they are planning to charge all users who are streaming remotely… Even if the host is paying.
“If you want to watch you library away from home you’ll have to pay. It also affects anyone you share your home library with. They will have to pay if they are not Plex Pass subscribers themselves. Plex will offer a Remote Watch Pass tier for $2/month or $20/year.”
Now, I am not saying this is by any means a big amount of money or making a judgment call about the reasonableness of them charging for what services… But it definitely seems like they want to ensure they are getting cash from everyone who ever touches Plex. Again, $2 a month is very little, but that’s on top of the charges for the host

We have had this cancer for a very very long time. Up until the NDP won an election a few cycles back the way it tended to work was the only way to unseat a conservative government was with an even more conservative government.
