The problem is: people want alternative, but they don't want to pay for it. See the hatred for paywalls and love for 'piracy' here, on Lemmy. People won't pay directly, so advertisements will stay.

I hate this model.

And how do the USA tariffs lower the costs of producing Canadian steel? If the costs are the same, but the prices drop, then the production becomes less profitable or even at loss. How this would help Canadian industry when the steel production is forced to stop? Other countries have already lost their production capabilities similar way, it is natural that Canada tries to be more careful.

And Solaris from Poland

The mines kill large animals too.

And what to do with the waste water from the reverse osmosis (now more contaminated than the input)? And who pays for the water wasted?

That is exactly what happened here. And it doesn't seem like they (ruling parties and 'their' media) have learned anything.

Because politicians and media keep them so. Often polls would show that public is more progressive than the lawmakers (e.g. about abortion laws), but the ruling politicians will still say how Polish people are not ready for such 'radical changes' or just how 'wrong' that is...

In two years the government hardly delivered anything they promised. And not just because Duda was still a president vetoing everything. No surprise people are disappointed.

That is what I always suspected and why I take my time to uncheck all these.

But that would be cookie for the website I am visiting, not for a dozen of 'partners'. And these are the 'legitimate interest' on-by-default switches I am talking about.

And it should include this mysterious 'legitimate interest', or whatever it is called - always on by default in 'my choices', even though no one seems to be able to explain what this means. How can I make an informed consent on something that vague?

On the other hand, not 'Reject All', but 'Reject All except functionally necessary' (which should be precisely regulated by the law), otherwise there will be no cookie to remember our 'reject all' choice, which I am sure the corpos would happily use do discourage us from clicking that.

Good excuse. They could just wait for 'their' president. We will see how much of those laws will be signed when the ne president takes the office. I am afraid that when they get their own president the law changes won't be on the table any more. The presidential campaign did not raise my hopes.
